R&B/Hip-Hop Fresh Picks of the Week: JELEEL!, Kirby, BLK ODYSSY & More
Happy Monday! We’ve got ten fresh new tracks to get you pumped for (and help you survive) the new week ahead. From steamy singles by Phabo, BLK ODYSSY and Taylor Belle to uptempo anthems from JELEEL! and tobi lou, this week’s column has everything you need and more.
And of course, don’t forget to share the wealth with our Spotify playlist, linked below.
Freshest Find: JELEEL!, “COME HERE!”
JELEEL!’s energy is undeniable. The Rhode Island rapper has a knack for stage diving and doing back flips at his shows. His hyper attitude is also reflected in his music, as he’s found a pocket rapping over glitchy, chaotic beats to get his bars off. “COME HERE!” is one of the more cohesive tracks from his recent debut album REAL RAW!, where he spits about attracting women and his fast and furious cars.
Phabo, “Casamigos”
Phabo is on a mission when he’s in the sheets. His steamy, neo-soul new single is inspired by the freaky activities that often follow indulging in the titular popular tequila brand. The San Diego-born singer even practices his Spanish on the track, singing “Casamigos reposado/ Nos tiene comportando salvajemente (got us behaving wildly).”
BLK ODYSSY, “ODEE”
BLK ODYSSY oozes confidence on his spacey new single “ODEE.” The Austin-based artist sings about his extravagant lifestyle to impress women, saying his wrist and drip are “odee.”
OhGeesy feat. Bino Rideaux & 03 Greedo, “Games”
OhGeesy and his boo are “connected like a Bluetooth.” The L.A. rapper teams up with Bino Rideaux and 03 Greedo to rap about not playing games in a relationship and wanting to be held down by their shorties. Laced with spaced-out 808s, L.A. bounce sounds and bed creaks, “Games” is a mix of trap R&B with a West Coast flare.
Danielle Ponder, “Roll the Credits”
Emotion is at the forefront of Danielle Ponder’s new single “Roll the Credits.” “[The] song [is] about spirituality in all of its forms and our ability to find God in all things if we are paying attention,” writes Ponder in a press release. The singer takes to San Juan, Puerto Rico for the song’s video, where she channels nature’s spirits, letting her old-school, bluesy vocals ring in the forest and city streets alike.
Latir, “To My Dear Anxiety (Acoustic Demo)”
In the most stripped-back and vulnerable moment of his EP Daydreams & Desires, Latir writes to his own anxiety. Thickly layered reverb surrounds the poetic singer’s voice and guitar, as he unfolds sweet falsettos and belts filled with desperation. The deep cut presents his raw talent, invoking emotion throughout its three minutes.
Taylor Belle, “SAY MY NAME”
On “Say My Name,” Taylor Belle taps into nostalgia, with a camcorder-style visual and Destiny’s Child song title. But there’s nothing dated about the singer’s flow and production, presenting a sensual single that feels both current and classic.
tobi lou, “Sorry I’m Late”
Nigeria-born, Chicago-raised artist tobi lou has garnered significant buzz thanks to his hyperactive sound and playful energy. “Sorry I’m Late” is no exception, as the rapper delivers a single that’s perfectly chaotic for all of our summer shenanigans.
Kirby feat. Rapsody, “Eve Gene”
“Black woman/ Unprotected in this world/ Is she loved, is she treasured, is she hurt?” On “Eve Gene,” Memphis singer-songwriter Kirby eloquently unravels the power and pain of her identity, adding on social media that the track helped her heal, and she hopes it does the same for her listeners. “I hope my non poc friends & family listen to this song and are reminded to hold space for the black women in their lives,” she adds. Featuring neo-soul production elements and a raw verse from revered MC Rapsody, the cut carries a vital message and is essential listening for the week and beyond.
kwes. feat. Sampha & Tirzah, “Open Up”
The critically acclaimed U.K. film Rye Lane not only boasted a captivating storyline, but an equally striking soundtrack. On “Open Up,” musical savants Sampha and Tirzah team up, their complimentary tones and lyrics intertwining to capture the heartwarming humanity of the Raine Allen Miller-directed film.
10 Cool New Pop Songs to Get You Through The Week: aespa, Alison Goldfrapp, GAYLE & More
Looking for some motivation to help power you through the start of another work week? We feel you, and with some stellar new pop tunes, we’ve got you covered.
These 10 tracks from artists including aespa, Alison Goldfrapp, GAYLE and more will get you energized to take on the week. Pop any of these gems into your personal playlists — or scroll to the end of the post for a custom playlist of all 10.
Q, “Incapable Heart”
Mononymous singer Q dropped his debut album, Soul, PRESENT, last Friday, and the sparkling 10-song effort is brimming over with ethereal, romantic delights that draw on synth-pop, ‘80s funk, Quiet Storm and more. The smooth “Incapable Heart” even throws in a bit of reggae skank for good measure as Q (the son of dancehall legend Steven “Lenky” Marsden) delivers a sound both familiar and forward-thinking – not unlike those first The Weeknd mixtapes that set the Internet on fire in the early 2010s. — JOE LYNCH
MisterWives, “Nosebleeds”
After a detour to Fueled by Ramen, MisterWives reteamed with original label Photo Finish to create their own imprint, Resilient Little Records, which will house their upcoming LP. New single “Nosebleeds” — with its woozy synths, chugging guitars and a relentless backbeat – is anything but little in its sonics, but it certainly captures the resilience that propelled the NYC-based rockers forward over the last near decade. – J. Lynch
Amaarae, “Co-Star”
Ahead of her new album Fountain Baby out June 9, Afropop star Amaarae has shared the project’s second single, “Co-Star.” The astrological track is both bouncy and twinkling, aligning with the singer’s goal of crafting “something cute and flirty for the summer.” As Amaarae said in a statement: “Astrology is such a huge part of our youth culture, it felt like a missed opportunity to not lean into that and give the girls an anthem that reads and celebrates them all at once!” — LYNDSEY HAVENS
Kiss Facility, “In My Room”
The quietly enticing “In My Room” is just as intriguing as its creator, newcomer Kiss Facility. Coated in nuanced nonchalance, “In My Room” sounds just as intimate as the title suggests, with the as-of-yet unknown artist captioning the cover art on Instagram, “It’s a very personal song that I put all my emotions into.” — L.H.
GAYLE, “Don’t Call Me Pretty”
“Don’t Call Me Pretty” is the first song GAYLE has debuted since joining Taylor Swift on her Eras tour, and ahead of hopping aboard P!nk’s upcoming stadium run; the “abcdefu” singer-songwriter clearly has shout-along anthems on the mind, and her latest contains plenty of opportunities for crowds of thousands to embrace her words. The chorus spirals up and the post-hook “ooo-ooo-ooo” crooning is effective, but most importantly, GAYLE sounds downright soulful on “Don’t Call Me Pretty,” with a heft that gives her message even more power.— JASON LIPSHUTZ
Alison Goldfrapp, “Love Invention”
Everything pre-release from The Love Invention has shown promise for Alison Goldfrapp’s debut solo outing after seven albums as the leader of Goldfrapp, but the title track possesses a little extra electro-pop oomph that suggests a summertime dance floor heater. Goldfrapp’s ethereal voice dips in and out of sounding hyper-processed (“Is this real or not?,” she sings), but the production never flags, all cascading synths and percussion that keeps pushing forward. — J. Lipshutz
Bruno Major, “We Were Never Really Friends”
“This doesn’t have to be the end,” Bruno Major pleads on “We Were Never Really Friends,” a classic spoil-the-friendship jam that masquerades as a piano ballad before blooming into a lighters-up rock sing-along, complete with a stringy guitar solo. Major’s patience stands out here: the British singer-songwriter never presses too hard in any direction on the song, letting the full instrumentation and the slight quiver in his voice carry home his first new music since 2020. — J. Lipshutz
Coach Party, “All I Wanna Do is Hate”
Isle of Wright quartet Coach Party opened up for Wet Leg last fall and will support Queens of the Stone Age on tour later this year, but great new single “All I Wanna Do is Hate” sounds closer to bands like Elastica and Metric — sharp-elbowed pop-rock with readily deployed chiming guitars and synth riffs. The song walks a fine line between lyrical aggression and zipped-up production, resulting in a song that’s fully realized and invites plenty of fist-pumps. — J. Lipshutz
aespa, “Thirsty”
Aespa’s new mini album, Welcome to My World, sees the girl group — which consists of Giselle, Karina, NingNing and Winter — dabbling into the many facets of its sound, which includes everything from simmering bangers to lush pop ballad showing off the members’ vocal range. But album cut “Thirsty” really shows off the K-pop stars’ strength in R&B. The infectious chorus combines subtle trap-inspired beats with soft vocals, and gives a subtle wink to the object of the girls’ affections, as Giselle teases: “So tell me what you wanna, wanna do, boy?” — STARR BOWENBANK
Cosmo Pyke, “What Can I Do?”
A collective sigh of relief can be heard from Cosmo Pyke’s fans, as the British artist has delivered the new EP Curser’s Lament. “What Can I Do?” from the set shows off Pyke’s talent with jazz melodies, while catering to fans of his more introductory, alternative and indie-leaning work featured on 2017’s Just Cosmo. The musician cleverly splits the song into three separate parts, first drawing in the listener with drum heavy instrumentation, leading in with up tempo guitar licks before a soulful finish. — S.B.

Lizzo Reveals She’s Battling Strep Throat: ‘Still Hurts to Speak, But It Really Hurts to Cancel’

Lizzo hopped on social media Monday (May 7) to let fans know that she’s in the midst of battling a nasty case of strep throat.
“Hello Hartford, it is me,” the pop star said in an audibly croaky voice while cozied up in a fleece hoodie and silk sleeping cap. “As you know, I canceled my Montreal show ’cause I was experiencing extreme flu-like symptoms. I tested for COVID and it’s negative. However, I did test positive for strep throat. Though I’m feeling stronger, my body, my throat is still extremely raw and swollen. My lymph nodes are swollen, and the doctors say that it would not be wise to sing while my throat is like this.
“In the past, I have pushed myself because I always want to bring you guys an incredible show. And I want to bring you guys the best of me,” she admitted. “And I’m realizing as I mature that this is not the best of me. I need to heal so that I can be the artist that you guys deserve and maintain my body. Still hurts to swallow, still hurts to speak, but it really hurts to cancel.”
Lizzo reiterated in her caption that all tickets for her planned show at Hartford, Conn.’s XL Center will be honored for a rescheduled date, adding, “I’m sorry Hartford…I’ll be back stronger and better, I hope you can be there too.”
Before she came down with strep, the singer wowed the A-list crowd as the entertainment for the 2023 Met Gala, and even got the chance to duet on the flute with her longtime idol James Galway.
Watch Lizzo painfully deliver the news of her strep throat below.
Thirty Seconds to Mars Announces New Album, Unveils Lead Single ‘Stuck’
Thirty Seconds to Mars is back. The group, consisting of brothers Shannon and Jared Leto, revealed on Monday (May 8) that their upcoming sixth studio album, It’s the End of the World But It’s a Beautiful Day, is set for release this September via Concord Records.
To celebrate the announcement, the band unveiled the album’s lead single, a powerful, high-energy track called “Stuck.” The accompanying, Jared-directed music video is inspired by the human form and combines high fashion with art for a sleek, minimalistic result.
“Thanks to my incredibly creative mother, my brother and I were instilled with a love for art and photography from a very young age,” Jared said in a press statement. “The video for ‘Stuck,’ our first new song in five years, is a love letter to some of my favorite photographers. Artists who made a very deep impact on me like Richard Avedon, Irving Penn, Robert Mapplethorpe, Diane Arbus, Herb Ritts and more. Artists whose work changed the way I saw things and showed me new possibilities at every turn.”
“Stuck” marks Thirty Seconds to Mars’ first new music in five years, and It’s the End of the World follows the group’s 2018 album, America. Later this month, Thirty Seconds to Mars will be taking the main stage at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend and, in August, the band will be making their return to Lollapalooza for the first time since 2006. They’re also set to perform at When We Were Young Festival in Las Vegas in October.

Twitter Loses It After Kevin Gates Posts Live Birth Video

After posting a video of a live birth on his social media, Kevin Gates caught a ton of backlash from people online, including those on Twitter.
On Sunday (May 7th), the rapper shared a video of a pregnant woman giving birth with the assistance of a midwife through his Instagram Stories.
The graphic video shows a baby being born with the woman standing up, dropping the newborn into the father’s hands. “The Most Beautiful thing on earth is the gift of Life,” he wrote in the caption, along with emojis depicting praying hands and hearts.
The video was sourced back to another account on Instagram, indiebirths which regularly shows the work of midwives and the natural childbirths performed at home.
Kevin Gates Has A History of Sharing Too Much Information
The “Do It Again” rapper isn’t one to shy away from sharing about certain topics or finding himself in the middle of questionable situations.
He spoke freely in an interview earlier this year about drinking a woman’s urine because she was “super clean” and even enjoying “golden showers” during the act of intercourse. “I love it,” said Gates at the time. “I love for a woman to piss in my mouth. That’s beautiful.”
In an episode of Yung Miami’s Caresha Please podcast last year, he even ran down his top twelve moments where he was the most freaky and lewd. That episode reportedly broke viewership numbers for the podcast at that point.
This latest video garnered reactions ranging from shock and dismay to others cracking jokes over Gates’ unconventional behavior.
But some were on Gates’ side, somewhat, pointing out that childbirth is natural and stating that, on its face, there was nothing wrong with the Baton Rouge, Louisiana native’s post. Check out some of the reactions below.

Wayno Clark Says The “All Falls Down” Scenes In Kanye West ‘jeen-yuhs’ Document Are CAP
Source: WWD / Getty / Kanye West
One scene from the Kanye West Netflix documentary jeen yuhs is straight C A P, according to one person with direct knowledge of the moment.
According to Wayne’ Wayno” Clark, there are several moments in the jeen yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy that was not accurate.
The scene Clark touches on involves West housing Roc-A-Fella employees at the office by playing “All Falls Down” to several execs, and he notes they heard it several times before.
“It was not like that, bro, because first of all, when I came around — I’m talking about being really, really, inside of Roc-A-Fella — Kanye was already producing. When I had met him, he had just got a tattoo of all the songs he produced on his arm,” Wayno said during a recent Homegrown Radio interview.
“I walked up to him like, ‘Yo you Kanye?’ and he like, ‘Yeah, I rap too.’ He rapped for me, and he just rapped for, like, eight minutes. He would do the same routine for everyone he met,” he added.
“Now, Chaka Pilgrim was the head of marketing at Roc-A-Fella. To this day, she still work with Jay, Beyoncé, all of them. He bust in her office with all the cameras out, he ain’t tell nobody he about to do this or nothing. Bro, mind you, it’s not the first time we heard ‘All Falls Down.’ We been heard ‘All Falls Down.’ He walks out like, ‘Yeah they ain’t feeling me.’ That’s not real.”
This Is Not The First Time Wayno Spoke About That Moment
Just a month after the docuseries’ release, Wayno spoke about the moment on Twitter. “Lmao the context behind this is he played this song in the office and did this with a camera crew like 10x , how many times can you have a crazy reaction to something you’ve heard 10x it was kind of annoying at that point,” he said in a tweet.
In more jeen yuhs news, the woman who made a brief appearance in the visual for “Through The Wire” is suing filmmakers Coodie Simmons and Chike Oza for featuring her in the doc in what she says was an “altered state and not capable of providing consent.”

‘The Little Mermaid’ Gives a Sneak Peek of ‘Kiss the Girl’ Scene During MTV Movie & TV Awards
Sha-la-la-la-la-la, my oh my! Fans got to enjoy a first look at the iconic “Kiss the Girl” scene from the upcoming live-action remake of The Little Mermaid during the MTV Movie & TV Awards on Sunday night (May 7).
In the nearly one-minute clip, Ariel and Prince Eric, played by Halle Bailey and Jonah Hauer-King float around in a row boat, surrounded by an enchanted forest scene, as Sebastian (Daveed Diggs), Flounder (Jacob Tremblay) and Scuttle (Awkwafina) try to convince the young Prince to kiss the mermaid princess. As a result, the spell put on Ariel by villain Ursula (Melissa McCarthy), in which she traded her voice for human legs, would be broken.
“Sha-la-la-la-la-la / Float along / And listen to the song / The song say kiss the girl,” the group sings, as the scene looks almost identical to the original 1989 animated movie.
“I’m a little bit nervous just because this has been so long in the making. I mean, I auditioned for this film when I was 18, and I turned 23 this year,” Bailey previously shared of the highly anticipated film release in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. “Now that it’s finally here, I’m like, whoa, I can’t believe it. And it’s a very, very big pinch-me moment. I’m so excited. And I just can’t wait for people to see what we did to this film.”
The Little Mermaid hits theaters on May 26. Watch the new preview below.
Espolòn Tequila, PAISABOYS, & SentRock Join Forces For Cinco Para Todos
Source: Espolòn / Espolòn
Espolòn Tequila, an award-winning brand operated by the stellar Campari Group, joined forces with streetwear brand PAISABOYS and famed street artist SentRock for a month-long celebration they’re calling Cinco Para Todos. Simply put, the brands want folks to celebrate Cinco de Mayo all month long via Cinco Para Todos with the release of a fashion collection and pop-ups throughout the nation.
We’re late getting this story up as the brand launched officially on Cinco de Mayo (May 5) and that’s on us. That said, let’s get more into what Cinco Para Todos is all about.

The line features artwork that depicts the artists’ Mexican heritage and pride, and there are planned pop-ups in Chicago, New York City, Miami, Chicago, Austin, and Phoenix all month long.
In celebration of Cinco de Mayo, cult-favorite streetwear brand, PAISABOYS, as well as notable street artist Sentrock (presented by Stadium Goods), have partnered with Espolòn Tequila to launch the Cinco Para Todos collection, which celebrates modern Mexican culture. Espolòn will be operating tortilleria parties in the aforementioned cities where fans can get their hands on the exclusive drop.

“Some of the best music, food and innovations have come from Mexico, so Espolòn continues to celebrate this culture year round. As a tequila made in the heart of Jalisco, Espolòn Tequila proudly celebrates the impact of the rich culture of modern Mexican creatives and game changers, and want to encourage others to do the same,” Sean Yelle, Senior Category Marketing Director, White Spirits at Campari America, shared in a statement. “Cinco Para Todos was created to extend celebrations and highlight creators who are changing culture and delivering authentic experiences, to keep the spirit of Mexico alive all season long.”
“As first generation Mexican-Americans and Los Angeles natives, our background and community have inspired some of our most successful designs,” Javier Bandera and Joey Barba, Co-Founders of the streetwear brand, PAISABOYS, added in a statement. “For this collection, we wanted to create something that was inspired by Espolòn Tequila as well as the vibrant Mexican culture that’s so prevalent in LA and bring that distinctive vibe to streetwear fanatics across the country.”
“Espolòn Tequila and I share a passion for freedom and expression, which is why the design I created for the line pairs my trademark symbol – the bird-mask – with theirs – Ramón the Rooster – to show our shared values while also paying homage to our rich culture,” Sentrock shared.

As a side note, fans of Lupe Fiasco might know that the artist has a song named after him that just dropped from his fellow Chicago native.
