Central Cee performs at the Osheaga Music and Arts Festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau on August 06, 2023 in Montreal, Quebec.
This week’s new music lineup features artists from the U.K. and all around.
As the first month of 2025 comes to a close, a slew of new music has been released, especially in regard to singles.
This week offered a stacked collection of loosies, including “Bad Choices,” a track by Larry June, 2 Chainz and The Alchemist; “Plaqueboymax” by Fivio Foreign; and a particularly interesting collab between Sexyy Red and Bruno Mars called “Fat Juicy & Wet.”
As for albums, we’ve got a new project from Boldy James, Central Cee and Charlie Bereal.
Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.Over a smooth-as-always production from The Alchemist, Larry June and 2 Chainz offer cool raps (also, can we get some more collabs between Chainz and Alc?).
Reason makes a great post-TDE return with “Not What You Think,” a SWAVAY-produced track that also features Bas.
The Atlanta singer-songwriter links up with the DMV rapper for a hypnotic track. Also, the way TyFontaine says “extraterrestrial” in his verse — brilliance.
Over a sparse and moody beat, Kirko makes his return with a track addressing the many challenges he’s experienced throughout his career — from questionable industry figures to former friends who didn’t support him.
It’s an unlikely pairing but it’s worth listening to, considering this is a full-on pop song with Red being as delightfully unfiltered as she always is.
Peggy returns with a brash track that comes with one of the most interesting beat switches I’ve heard in a while.
Accompanied by V Don’s haunting (but head-knocking) beat, the Black Soprano Family and ETO offer raps that are just as compelling as they are menacing.
Just in case you were wondering: Nappy Roots has still got it. They show proof on their confident new track, "Life Happens Quickly."
Travis Scott is back with another surrealistic spaceship theme song.
What stemmed from a minor beef between Fivio and streamer Plaqueboymax has led to the rapper creating what has arguably been his best song in quite some time.
Boldly’s latest album is a 13-track release that features Jai Imani and Sir Michael Rocks.
The U.K. rapper makes his solo album debut with a 17-song release that includes local heavyweights (Skepta) and U.S. stars like Lil Baby and Lil Durk.
Charlie makes his debut under the Snoop Dogg-led iteration of Death Row Records.
The one and only FKA twigs is back, and her eclectic sounds are as engrossing as ever.
