State Champ Radio playlist
Happy Holiday Season, Hip-Hop Wired Nation! We’re back with a new and, ahem, fresh CRT FRSH playlist. This week, we open up with one of R&B’s most prolific vocalists paired with one of the best out of New Orleans, and much more.
I want to explain how I approach curating the CRT FRSH playlist. Most importantly, I don’t segregate my Hip-Hop. Every form of music from the main cultural tree deserves a listen and a look. When I construct the playlist, I want to include all regions across the States and, when applicable, across the globe. I also want to entertain every fan of Hip-Hop, not just those who enjoy one segment of it. Now that we’ve got that out of the way, let’s get to it.
The CRT FRSH playlist is a labor of love. We don’t take payments, nor do we do favors. We only add joints to our playlist that fit the theme and vision we’re going for and don’t seek to waste the listener’s time. Further, we don’t stick to one lane of Hip-Hop. We believe that all aspects of the music should get some light, whether it’s young lions in the trenches or those hoping for that one shot to blow up to grizzled veterans puffing out their chests with lots more to say. — D.L. Chandler, Lead Curator, CRT FRSH

While everyone is still deep in those leftover plates, we’re dusting off the playlist to bring you 20 new joints after a few weeks off to collect ourselves.
This latest drop opens with Ty Dolla $ign’s “WHAT I WANT” track featuring Lil Wayne from the singer’s TYCOON album. That’s followed by Ghais Guevara’s “Self-Medicated” from the talented Philadelphia rapper and producer’s Full Goyard EP from this past summer. Wale’s everything is a lot is one of his best albums to date, and the track “Belly” is moving as a background track all over social media. We then follow that with Anti LIlly and Phoniks’ “Wonder Why” from their excellent All Good Things album.
From there, we hop to Lil Baby’s “All On Me” featuring G Herbo from the Atlanta rapper’s Middle Of The Summer project. We then follow with Domo Genesis and Graymatter’s “SHEDDINGWEIGHT” from their SCRAM! album, which might be the best-produced Hip-Hop album of the year, in our opinion.
Salute to Quavo, Yeat, BNYX, Oh No, DJ Romes, BunnaB, Che Noir, 7xvethegenius, Stove God Cooks, Conway The Machine, Roc Marciano, Cardi B, Latto, Jeezy, A$AP Twelvy, Russ, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Kevin Gates, Rick Ross, Chris Patrick, MARCO PLUS, Hit-Boy, The Alchemist, Jay Worthy, Big Hit, Joey Fatts, and Vince Staples.
Stay tuned for the next update, which you can expect in two weeks. Enjoy the music!

For this week’s update, I’m going to admit that I’ve been out of the loop with new music due to life doing what it does. That said, I did some digging and landed on 20 songs I feel capture the pulse of the moment across the entire scope of the culture.
We open up with Cardi B’s “ErrTime” remix with Latto, bringing together two women who always seem to meet the moment. Noname, an act we don’t hear a lot from, delivered “Hundred Acres” featuring Devin Morrison. Moneybagg Yo is back in the mix, tapping G Herbo for the “Feet On Land” single.
Chicago’s Vic Spencer just unleashed his Trees Are Undefeated set, and the track “Repeated Strains” is a standout with a dope verse from Backwood Sweetie. Kodak Black dropped his eighth full-length album, Just Getting Started, and we’re featuring “Mumble Rap” featuring Pharrell Williams. Dave’s newest album, The Boy Who Played The Harp, dropped last month, and the title cut is a banger.
Salute to Wale, Odeal, REASON, WESTSIDE BOOGIE, Gio Genesis, Megan Thee Stallion, Mobb Deep, Clipse, Nardo Wick, Key Glock, Tay Keith, Murda Beatz, Hit-Boy, The Alchemist, Babyface Ray, Big Sean, Westside Gunn, Benny The Butcher, Gucci Mane, Big L, Joey BadA$$, BVNGS, The Legendary DJ Ron G, PLUTO, NBA YoungBoy, Armand Hammer, Earl Sweatshirt, BIA, Ferg, Denzel Curry, The Expert, and Defcee.
Check us out in two (or more because, life) weeks for the next update where we will bring you 20 all-new joints!

CRT FRSH, Hip-Hop Wired’s playlist where we showcase music that we believe is “Certified Fresh,” is back with an all-new set of heat! With our latest update this week, we’re featuring some future legends and rising stars in the game from all over the map.

Welcome back to CRT FRSH, and I’m super excited for this week’s update. We open things up with “Welcome To The Carter” from Lil Wayne’s new album, Tha Carter VI (peep the review here). Benny The Butcher dropped off a seven-track EP, Excelsior, and the Black Soprano Family boss taps Styles P for the potent “Toxic” track.
We saw The Clipse tear down the stage at this year’s Roots Picnic, and the Brothers Thorton, Malice, and Pusha T are prepping a new album. Their new single, “Ace Trumpets,” is more of their usual lyrical precision. Ché Noir, who is prepping her latest release, The Color Chocolate 2, taps Detroit’s Elzhi for the booming “Who’s The Greatest?”
Coyote, the duo of Mexican-American rappers Ladies Love Guapo and Ricky Blanco, first appeared on our radar with their dope “Runnin’ All Fades” with Ab-Soul. They just dropped off their new album, yoteLAndia, and the track “Face Tatts” features Lefty Gunplay. The High & Mighty (Mr. Eon and DJ Mighty Mi) have been in the game for over 25 years, and they’re back with their new album, Sound Of Market. The track “The Rose Bowl” features the Yodfather himself, Your Old Droog, with production from The Alchemist.
Salute to Joyner Lucas, Boldy James, Nicholas Craven, GloRilla, T.F, Khrysis, SiR, GELO, 2 Eleven, Jay Rock, Ray Vaughn, KIIIA, Ab-Soul, Python P, Meek Mill, G Herbo, Planet Asia, Cozz, Flee Lord, ETO, Vel Nine, Smoke DZA, Dave East, Mike & Keys, and Jahzae Rose.
We’ll be updating this joint in two weeks. For now, rock with these records and let us know what you think in the comments or on our social media pages. The playlist can be found below.

CRT FRSH, Hip-Hop Wired’s playlist where we showcase music that we believe is “Certified Fresh,” is back with the newness! With our latest update this week, we’re gonna focus on Joey BadA$$ and his feud with what seems like the entire West Coast before sharing new heat.

Like I said, I’m opening up this week’s update with all the joints I could find from Joey BadA$$, Ray Vaughn, Daylyt, and anyone else who hopped in the ring, including some of Badmon’s Pro Era team like CJ Fly. Not every song is on DSPs, so what we’ve amassed here is all we got unless folks can clear samples and production to get it up on streamers.
I’m not picking any sides in the battle. I’m just enjoying good rapping, and that it’s all being kept to recordings and not spilling into nonsense in real life. If rapping is a sport, then battling is one of the ways to show and prove one’s mettle. One super impressive thing is that in the back and forth between coasts, folks are working quickly and addressing bars head-on instead of ducking from any smoke.
If I missed a joint you feel like should’ve been added, let me know and I’ll adjust. This playlist is live for two weeks, so we’ll probably have plenty of time to update this. And, from what I’m hearing online, there are over 90 songs recorded by several artists since Joey took the first swipe at the West Coast on his Conductor Williams-produced track, “The Ruler’s Back.”
I’m not going to break down every joint. Instead, check out the collection of songs we did find, search out the rest online, and just enjoy the collection of new heat I tacked on at the end of the disses.
Salute to Joey BadA$$, Daylyt, Ray Vaughn, AZ Chike, REASON, CJ Fly, Kai Ca$h, Hitta J3, YG, Shoreline Mafia, IDK, Joey Valence, Brae, DRAM, Ellis Quinn, Chance The Rapper, Erick The Architect, Joyce Wrice, Smoke DZA, Dave East, Mike & Keys, Niontay, Sideshow, MAVI, Troy Ave, Boldy James, Your Boy Posca, Mike Shabb, CRIMEAPPLE, DJ Skizz, Estee Nack, ETO, Grafh, Benny The Butcher, NYC Rap Star, Ransom, Jay Electronica, Numbz, Larrin, Defcee, Paralell Thought, Lukah, Statik Selektah, Larry June, Cardo Got Wings.
We’ll be back with an update in two more weeks. Check out the CRT FRSH update below.

Switching it up, we feature BigXThaPlug’s high-charting single “All The Way” featuring Bailey Zimmmerman, and the ultra-talented JID’s “WRK” single foll ows that track. Taking things down to Baton Rouge, we have “Shot Callin” from NBA YoungBoy, and then we hop over to New Orleans to check out La Reezy’s “Have Mercy” joint.

Welcome back to CRT FRSH, a collection of songs we feel should be on your radar if they aren’t already. With this week’s update, we did our best to put together a playlist that showcases the wide scope of great Hip-Hop music, although we’re sure to have missed some drops.
We open up the playlist with Mozzy’s “WHO WANT WAR” with a guest feature from Polo G, appearing on the Sacramento rapper’s new INTRUSIVE THOUGHTS album. CRT FRSH favorite Raz Fresco links again with Futurewave for their excellent Stadium Lo Champions album, and the track “Cyanide” is one of our top joints.
“Danger Danger” is a new track from Swizz Beatz from the Godfather of Harlem Season 4 original soundtrack, featuring verses from Jadakiss and Pusha T on the closeout. Mathematics, the longtime DJ and producer with the Wu-Tang Clan, delivered his new album Black Samon, the Bastard Swordsman, and the track “Mandingo” is a classic Wu banger featuring Raekwon, Inspectah Deck, Method Man, and a stong anchor verse from Cappadona.
From The Private Selection of Saba and No ID could very well end up being the album of the year for many, and “30seccchop” featuring Joseph Chilliams and a strong performance from Jane Deaux is just one of the heaters from the project. Ray Vaughn, one of Top Dawg Entertainment’s newest signees, delivered his new mixtape, The Good The Bad The Dollar Menu, and “EAST CHATT” features fellow TDE artist, Isaiah Rashad.
Salute to Young Thug, Future, Jack Harlow, Doja Cat, Half-Empty, Partly Vacant, SALIMATA, Khadijat, Larry June, 2 Chainz, The Alchemist, KenTheMan, Niontay, MAVI, Sideshow, Shoreline Mafia, Boldy James, V Don, Wiz Khalifa, DJ Quik, Domo Genesis, Smoke DZA, Dough Networkz, Graymatter, Coyote, Ab-Soul, Python P, 2 Eleven, Low The Great, MOLIY, Silent Addy, Skillibeng, Shenseea, LaRussell, Busta Rhymes, and Mike G Beatz.
Check out out in two more weeks for our next update. If you wish to be CONSIDERED for inclusion, email D.L. Chandler at: dchandler@bhmdigital.com.
