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…

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…

Megan Thee Stallion released her debut album on Friday, Good News , and fans are already enjoying the project quite a bit. The album is packed with dope songs and even features some lyrics that will certainly be seen as a diss to those who used to be close to her. Having said that, there are some obvious standouts on the project, including “Freaky Girls” which features the likes of Sza. The song starts with a hook from Sza who is offering up some sexually explicit lyrics. Meg ultimately matches this energy as she gets into her braggadocios bag, all while delivering a steady flow that will be appreciated by music listeners. “FOREIGN SONGS…

Today, Nas has come through to flip the script on its head with “ Fallen Stars Flying,” a new track off HBO’s Between The World And Me Soundtrack. And judging from a preliminary listen of the lyrically- potent drop, he succeeded in doing exactly that. Though King’s Disease was a breath of fresh air for Nas fans, “Fallen Stars Flying” does feel a little closer to his vintage sound — vividly rendered storytelling over gritty sample-based production. Fans will be pleased to see another solid drop from the legendary lyricist, and should this be the caliber Between The World And Me is bringing to the table, perhaps we’ll see more where that came from. “FOREIGN SONGS…
