DRAKE’S CARE PACKAGE

Finally, Drake has released a compilation album of loose tracks. Care Package features 17 previously released tracks, however, none have ever been on streaming services. Most of these tracks either come from SoundCloud, the OVO Blog, or Drizzy’s Beats 1 radio show. A lot of standout tracks are finally streamable, like “4PM In Calabasas” and “How Bout Now.” Care Package is a great way to discover some of Drake’s unheard of tracks, or rediscover how great a lot of these tracks are.

LIL DURK’S LOVE SONGS 4 THE STREETS 2

Chicago legend, Lil Durk, presents Love Songs 4 The Streets 2 as his fourth studio album with features from 21 Savage, Meek Mill, Lil Baby, and Nicki Minaj (to just name a few). What’s interesting about Lil Durk is that even when you saw less of him, he still had a presence. In a Tweet, he commented on the number two status the album had stating, “Drake don’t count that’s Drake, so I’m really #1.” Is this the one for the Chicago Rapper?

WEST COAST UNITED FOR “BOP”

Tyga, YG and Blueface have all teamed up for a track titled “Bop.” While all of these artists have collaborated together at different times, this is the first time with all three of them on one. YG supplies a catchy hook over a Mustard beat, and all three artists give great examples of signature West Coast styles on the track. “Bop” came just in time for a last minute summer jam.

“KNUCK IF YOU BUCK” REUNION FOR PRINCESS AND DIAMOND

Princess and Diamond of Crime Mob reunited 15 years on the anniversary of the hit, “Knuck if you Buck,” to drop their collab tape, Vagina Power. Listening to this track, you can hear the thorough influence they have on female rappers today—that more aggressive style of rapping for female emcees. It’s almost too nice to see them reunited for this project and dropping new music.

HIP HOP’S FAVORITE BOYBAND RETURNS

Hip-hop’s favorite boy band, BROCKHAMPTON, returns with a single and an album on the way. “I’ve Been Bore Again” is the first single from the groups upcoming album, Ginger. The song is very BROCKHAMPTON at it’s core featuring six of their entertaining artists either singing or spitting. Although Brockhampton is known for pumping out projects fast, this album comes 11 months after iridescence—which is still not a long time, but it is for the group that dropped three albums in 2017. Ginger is set to release this month.

SPOTLIGHT: YON PERIGNON

Picking up steam rolling into 2020, Yon Perignon drops Perignon Music. A seven-track album that punches harder with every listen through. Flexing on beats that bring a smooth bounce, the artist presents a presence that grabs ahold of you and lets you know he’s in the building. If you haven’t checked him out, I suggest you do.

Until next time, it’s On Wax.
