DaBaby, SHUT UP | Track Review 🎵

Grammy-nominated rapper DaBaby returns with his first new single of 2020, a dumb, but entertaining banger, “SHUT UP.”

Grammy-nominated rap collective Migos miss the mark on “Give No Fxk,” even enlisting the services of Travis Scott and Young Thug.

Pacific Northwest teen rapper Lil Mosey delivers a lush, certified bop with his catchy, confident single, “Blueberry Faygo.”

The always confident G-Eazy, enlists Tory Lanez & Tyga for the enjoyable, sex-driven banger, “Still Be Friends.”

Trippie Redd enlists Young Thug for “YELL OH,” an empty, totally classless banger that relies way too much on sex to fuel its fire.

“11 Songs Where the Trouble is, Well, Troubling” features songs by Chris Brown, Coldplay, Luke James, Omar Apollo & Taylor Swift.

Although she is retiring, Nicki Minaj delivers a ‘short, but sweet’ trap banger with “Yikes.” She’s not the least bit apologetic.

Grammy-nominated rapper Meek Mill continues his hot start to 2020 with his second single, “Believe,” featuring Justin Timberlake.

“…Songs Loosely Associated with the House” features songs by Chance the Rapper, Miranda Lambert, Ryan Beatty, Robert Glasper & ROLE MODEL.

Lil Wayne has his share of moments (and bangers) on his surprise 2020 album, Funeral. Even so, it could’ve benefited from some edits.

16-year-old Australian rapper The Kid LAROI enlists 17-year-old rapper Lil Tecca for the melodic banger, “Diva.”

On the relatively brief but potent “Value,” A$AP Ferg continues to do what he does best – flex hard like a boss and drop surefire bangers.
