Young Thug – Slime Season
Young Thug is an artist coming into his own. Thugger’s latest mixtape, Slime Season, feels like the project where he’s putting it all together. It’s both cohesive and contemporary, a rare feat in a culture of throwaway tracks and Soundcloud singles.
Tori
Snakehips – On & On
Snakehips is a UK-based production duo making some of the best remixes on the Internet.
Marcel
Post Malone – Too Young
Living a long, healthy life should be a goal for everyone. Post Malone’s ode to reaching full-on adulthood finds him rapping (and singing?) over production by FKI, The MeKanics, and Justin Mosely.
Jorge
Denzel Curry – Captain Sea Fonk
Denzel Curry’s 32 Zel/Planet Shrooms is quietly one of the best rap projects of the year. The Carol City-bred rapper lends his vocals to a spacey track on one of the album’s standout tracks.
