“Why Would I?” – Fivio Foreign
Fivio Foreign has been killing the game recently and his new release “Why Would I?” further proves this. The tune is super intense and Fivio raps about not caring about other people’s opinions on him, especially on the internet. He raps over a dynamic drill beat making the song catch the listener’s ear even more.

Kevin Gates makes an appearance on our Hot Music Friday list this week with his song “God Slippers”. It’s stocked full of creative religious references with the lyrics “Did a few miracles/Walked on water in front of you n*****/ I borrowed a pair of God slippers”. Gates is definitely showing his lyrical abilities with this track.
“Out Alpha the Alpha”- Megan Thee Stallion
Megan Thee Stallion is killing it as usual with her newest song “Out Alpha the Alpha”. At it’s core the song is about women empowerment, insulting misogyny. With an incredible hook and Meghan’s incredible rapping the second verse on top of a great instrumental, stocked full of horns and backing vocals, she’s getting her message across.
“In Your Hands (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)” – Maiya the Don
Another great song released recently is Maiya the Don and Ty Dolla $ign’s “In Your Hands’”. Ty Dolla $ign’s lends his gorgeous vocals to the hook and pre-chorus and Maiya the Don completes the track with some great rap verses. It is definitely a catchy tune that should not be slept on.
“The Secret Recipe” – Lil Yachty & J. Cole
J.Cole makes another appearance on out Hot Music Friday list this week with his collaborative record with Lil Yachty. The song is filled with great bars from both rapper as well as some great horn parts and hits incorporated into the production.
“Beautiful World ” – Bazzi
To round out the list for this week, in the pop-influenced category for this week, we have an amazing new track from Bazzi “Beautiful World”. Bazzi’s vocals are gorgeous as usual, and the song is rounded out with a light but intricate guitar part. It is definitely a calmer vibe, but is still worth giving it a spin.
