Songs (singles + tracks) of various styles are reviewed in this section of The Musical Hype. Songs are assigned a rating between 0 and 5 stars.
Burgeoning SoundCloud rap sensation Smokepurpp doesn’t tweak ‘the formula’ in the least on single, “Geek A Lot.” At some point, he could stand to ‘shake things up.’
New Orleans rap duo $uicideboy$ – $lick and Ruby Da Cherry – brings the heat on brief, unapologetic single, “FUCKALLOFYOU2K18.”
Alternative band X Ambassadors impresses with their soulfully, thrilling new single “Don’t Stay.” Frontman Sam Harris delivers killer vocals.
Prolific rapper Rick Ross enlists autotune-loving T-Pain and distinct-voiced rapper Kodak Black for hard-nosed banger “Florida Boy.”
Ahead of ‘Black Panther the Album Music from and Inspired By,’ the third advance single, “Pray for Me,” was issued. It comes courtesy of The Weeknd assisted by Kendrick Lamar.
Rising boy band Why Don’t We impresses with their slick, new single, “Trust Fund Baby.” “Trust Fund Baby” successfully blends pop, rap, and R&B.
Jennifer Lopez returns with an enjoyable, danceable single “Us.” While it’s a solid record, “Us” doesn’t feel particularly ‘brand new’ or groundbreaking in the least.
Veteran motor-mouthed Busta Rhymes makes a strong comeback on single “Get It,” featuring Missy Elliott and Kelly Rowland.
Is “Savior,” the new single by Iggy Azalea a ‘savior’ to her diminishing career? Maybe, maybe not, but the Quavo-assisted single is better than “Team” or “Mo Bounce.”
Miami-based production duo CASHÆ – Abomb and Joseph Michael – combines forces with rising ATL singer Cristina Quinones on infectious single, “Pieces.”
Banamak (Conner Bloyd) returns charged-up on his aggressive, confident, and thrilling new single, “Sayin Nothin.”
