The Listening: New Music From J.I.D & Eminem, Chance The Rapper, Lil Wayne, Smino and More

It's the Fourth of July weekend and that means a lot of things for a lot of people. So—whether you’re a flag-waving super patriot, a BBQ enthusiast or just somebody who digs fireworks, there’s new music to add to your Independence Day soundtrack.

On one hand, J.I.D’s just pulled up with GDLU (PRELUXE), a mini mixtape with features from Eminem, 6LACK, and Lil Yachty. Meanwhile, Chance The Rapper dropped his latest track, the fauna-titled and stoner-themed “Tree,” which features fellow elite spitters like Lil Wayne and Smino. Youngboy Never Broke Again partially drops his Make America Slime Again project. Pretty solid lineup.

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.

NEW SONGS

CHANCE THE RAPPER FEAT. LIL WAYNE, SMINO -“TREE”

Perhaps you don’t think you need a new weed anthem, but Chance, Smino and Weezy beg to differ. Chance himself directed the music video, which features a marijuana nursery and smoke shop.

J.I.D and Eminem serve up yet another syllable twisting fest for the ages.

Ahead of his forthcoming fifth official album, God Does Like Ugly, J.I.D pulls up with an electric sampler platter with a series of very impressive guest verses.

His versatile skill set gets the perfect showcase. Nine’s EP B4FN dropped in June as a preview for his latest full-length album; and Young Thug’s protege is highlighting a diverse range of styles and subject matter.
