Simba – ‘Taliben’ (Stream)
Currently-incarcerated DMV artist Simba delivers a new project titled Taliben, which can be streamed in full below.
Nicky Bleu – Testimony (Video)
Maryland artist Nicky Bleu forced me to break my rule of not posting freestyles over popular songs. Although this song is a few months old, Nicky’s version of Kodak’s “Testimony”, shot by Hidden Images DC, shines above. Smooth falsetto singing about Lean plugs overdosing and family tragedy show versatility that you rarely see in a freestyle. I hope to hear more from him soon, ideally with his talented friends like Knuklehead, Yung Wack and Murrrland.

Lavish The MDK – Do That Shit Again
Lavish The MDK has been on the cusp of wide-spread popularity for a few years now. From Kodak Black collaborations to his 2017 single “Vision Clear”, with Lil Baby, which ended up on a Quality Control album later that year, the Florida Rapper has a style influenced by Pop and today’s R&B. This approach meshes perfectly with the production on his new single, “Do That Shit Again”, by Schife and Ben Billions (best known for “6 Inch” by Beyonce and Gotti’s “Down In The DM”). Listen to the track below, alongside a description from Lavish himself.
“Me, LunchMoney, Ben Billion$, and Schife were cooking up late night in the studio like we always do, and as soon as I heard the beat I got a vibe. Lil Pahokee’ The Mixtape coming soon. For now, just enjoy these loosies.”
Sir EU – ‘RED HELLY / TWIN TOWERS’ (Stream)

Logic’s ‘Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind’ Tops The Charts
From Billboard, where you can read the full story…a full stream of the album is below:
Logic notches his third No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart as Confessions of a Dangerous Mind debuts atop the tally.
The set starts with 80,000 equivalent album units earned in the week ending May 16, according to Nielsen Music. Of that sum, 24,000 were in album sales. Confessions was released on May 10 via Visionary/Def Jam Recordings.
Logic previously led the list with Bobby Tarantino II (in 2018) and Everybody (2017). Logic made his Billboard 200 debut in 2014 with Under Pressure, which peaked at No. 4 — his first of six top 10 albums (including Confessions).
Confessions’ debut frame was largely powered by streaming activity, as the set racked up 54,000 SEA units (of its total 80,000 overall units). That 54,000 SEA number equates to 73.93 million on-demand audio streams for its tracks in the album’s debut frame, which also made it the most streamed album of the week.
King Von Feat. Lil Durk – “Crazy Story 2.0”
Although currently incarcerated, King Von’s street smash “Crazy Story” gets an upgrade courtesy of fellow Chicago emcee/OTF head honcho Lil Durk.
Trepound x ReMix Reek – “Portray (Remix)”

Z Money – Shawty Paid (Mixtape Stream)
Alright so Shawty Paid is my favorite mixtape of this year so far. You might be wondering, how can you know? I was lucky enough to hear it early and it needs to be run back to back until the actual mp3s themselves are worn out.
