With the summer 17′ officially behind us and autumn vibes now taking full effect, you can expect to hear more cozy slow jams in the coming weeks — most notably from the likes of PARTYNEXTDOOR who didn’t waste any time
contributing to the opening days of cuffing season. The OVO crooner surprised fans this week with the release of his new EP which was recorded over the course of seven days in August, hence the project being called Seven Days. Not to be outdone with baby-making jams was Tory Lanez who dropped off a syrupy new lady-friendly cut called “
Skrt Skrt” off his yet-to-be titled sophomore album due out later this year.
Meanwhile, Lonzo Ball is continuing his quest to become the best baller-rapper ever, this time addressing his adversaries and critics on a new song called “Z02.” The eldest Ball brother can be heard echoing his father’s discourse with verses like, “Don’t talk if you clueless just stay in yo’ lane cause my people is moving” and “people scared of change, we not.” Listen to that track
here and check out the rest our picks of the week below.
