Megan Thee Stallion, Hot Girl Summer | Track Review

Rising rapper Meghan Thee Stallion enlists Nicki Minaj and Ty Dolla Sign for record that’s ready-made for summer, “Hot Girl Summer.”

L.A. based hip-hop collective BROCKHAMPTON make a triumphant return with “I Been Born Again,” the promo single from their fifth album, ‘GINGER.’

Lil Nas X continues to ride the wave of his mega-hit “Old Town Road” with another remix, “Old Town Road (Seoul Town Road Remix)” featuring RM of BTS.

Big Sean is reflective and thoughtful on his single “Single Again” without necessarily being particularly exciting, innovative, or game changing.

Rick Ross and Drake deliver quite the smooth, sometimes thoughtful record with “Gold Roses,” a single from the highly-anticipated ‘Port of Miami 2.’

East Coast rap standout A$AP Ferg shines on the ‘short, but sweet’ banger, “Floor Seats,” which brilliantly samples The Prodigy.

Lil Baby and DaBaby collaborate on the Quality Control single, “Baby,” appearing on the compilation ‘Quality Control: Control the Streets Volume 2.’

Indonesian rapper Rich Brian shines on “Kids,” the sleekly-produced second single from his sophomore album, ‘The Sailor.’

Continually uninspired, Lil Pump returns with another forgettable, mediocre, and recycled banger, “Pose to Do,” featuring French Montana and Quavo.

Grammy-nominated, ‘genre-bending’ artist Mike Posner taps Ty Dolla $ign for the reflective, hip-hop tinged pop single, “Look What I’ve Become.”

Pacific Northwest hip-hop artist Jaymes Crux ‘brings the heat’ on his superb single “Remember,” accompanied by a simple, but highly effective visual.

For Lil Nas X, “Old Town Road” continues to be the gift that keeps on giving. He adds Mason Ramsey and Young Thug to the latest remix of hit single.
