"Tied Up"
Casey Veggies Feat. DeJ Loaf
Only 21, Casey Veggies is a veteran compared to most artists in his age bracket and his music is clearly evidence of this fact. The Inglewood, Cali. spit-kicker pops back on the scene with his latest one-off, "Tied Up" featuring DeJ Loaf. He crafts a sexy hip-hop love song tailor-made for the radio. While he comes correct on the lyrical tip, the main draw is DeJ Loaf, who lends her Motor City twang to the hook with much effectiveness. "I'll be a lady in the streets / In a dress with her hair tied up / Or I can be a freak in the sheets / In the room with her hands tied up," she rhymes. If you dig this, be sure to keep an eye out for Casey Veggies' upcoming debut album, Live and Grow, which should appear sometime this summer if we had to place our bets on it.

"Off the Rip"
French Montana Feat. Chinx & N.O.R.E.
After laying low musically for the better part of 2015, French Montana returns to the kitchen on his latest offering, "Off the Rip." Featuring fellow Coke Boy Chinx, as well as N.O.R.E., the track finds French hitting on all cylinders and serving up his usual brand of cocky tough-talk and sex-laden lyrics over production courtesy of Trakformaz. "Shorty brought her friends off the rip / Bitches bust it open, eatin' p---- off the rip," the Bronx, N.Y. native delivers on the catchy track. And with the release of his sophomore album, Mac and Cheese, right around the corner, we're sure that French has more tunes in the stash ready to go.

"Somebody Else (Remix)"
Rico Love Feat. Usher & Wiz Khalifa
Rico Love has been one of the hardest working men in show business as of late. After campaigning for the better part of this year with a seemingly endless stream of R&B releases, the mutitalented creative is gearing up for the debut of his new LP, Turn the Lights On, which touches down May 19. Enlisting Usher and Wiz Khalifa for the remix of "Somebody Else," Love delivers another winner and continues to prove his worth as an artist. “Ohh, I’m really hoping she finds somebody else / And it won’t get better till you try somebody else,” Usher sings. “She be all in to the drama, But I just want us to be close / She all about the commotion, I swear she gotta heart of stone/ Can’t turn back time."
