Meek Mill has never been one to rest on his laurels. Even though it has been a minute since the release of 2018’s Championships, Meek has been steadily putting in work at the laboratory, presumably for his upcoming fifth studio album. In the meantime, the MMG lyricist has officially come forward with a release to tide fans over, dropping off the Quarantine Pack complete with four new tracks. As has become somewhat of a modus operandi for the Philly rapper, Meek opted to set things off on a high note with “ Middle Of It.” Featuring additional support from Vory, who holds it down on two of the project’s four tracks, Meek Mill opts to carry the bulk of the weight with an incendiary pair of verses. For those wondering whether Meek’s newfound lease on life would lead to complacency, think again — “Middle Of It” is proof that he’s still as hungry as ever. “FOREIGN SONGS…

In what may very well be the most brilliantly timed album release of the past few years, Jeezy followed up his historic Verzuz battle with Gucci Mane with the release of his Recession 2 album. And while the rapper’s sound has shifted drastically since the first installment dropped in 2008, one of the earlier cuts “Here We Go” does feel quite nostalgic in nature. Produced by Don Cannon and Sean Momberger, the instrumental features a blend of triumphant horns and contemporary percussion, symbolizing Jeezy’s transition into the new era. And while the times may have changed, Jeezy’s propensity for keeping it real on wax has yet to fade. “FOREIGN SONGS…

French Montana‘s Coke Boys collective has always been a huge hit amongst hip-hop fans and over the years, they have put out a plethora of projects. On Friday, they came through with their latest effort CB5 which just so happens to have plenty of tracks and content for fans to enjoy. In the track “ You Deserve An Oscar ,” we see French Montana opting for a solo approach as he comes through with a track that features his own vocals sampled throughout. Meanwhile, the artist gives off some braggadocios lyrics, where he talks that talk and reinforces his place in the game. “FOREIGN SONGS…

Meek Mill delivers an icy banger on, “ GTA .” Dream Chasers in-house producer Nick Papz holds down the production with icy keys and bouncy 808s. Meek and Dugg leave no room for a hook, going back to back with a barrage of bars that includes a shout out to Lisa Raye, rapping, “Fuckin’ on this oiled lightskin bitch, look like Lisa Ray.” Clearly, she’s still on his mind. It feels like a minute since we’ve received some actual new music from Meek Mill. With Dugg serving as one of the hottest new rappers in the game, hopefully, “GTA” is one of many collaborative efforts we hear from them in the future. “FOREIGN SONGS…

DaBaby has been through a lot over the past few years, and just a few weeks ago, his brother Glen Johnson tragically took his own life after battling mental health issues. Since Johnson’s death, DaBaby has been advocating for mental health awareness, and on Friday, he released a 7-track EP dedicated to his late brother, called My Brother’s Keeper (Long Live G). Every track here contains emotional lyrics, including the Meek Mill assisted “8 Figures” which sees DaBaby grappling with his fame and how despite all of the heartbreak’s he remains pure and well-intentioned. Both artists rap about not being appreciated, which is a motif that has more to do with their romantic relationships. “FOREIGN SONGS…
