Everyday- Dave East (ft.Gunna)
Harlem rapper Dave East has teamed up with Gunna for “Everyday”. Which came in a two song release, Survival Pacc. Survival Pacc will act as a prequel to Dave’s highly anticipated debut album, Survival.
On this collaboration each rapper stays true to their sound as you can see the beautiful blend of East’s New York rap style and Gunna’s Atlanta influences.
Quotable Lyrics:
I just blew 10 up in Saks
Fuck cops, they kill if you blackThe gas the color purple, sellin’ white-boy like Nowitzki
The cars is foreign like Ginobili, shots burn your chest like whiskey

Just Because- Young Thug, Future
The two best R&B singers of our generation link up once again on Just Because. Young Thug and Future tracks never fail to hit the right way, and this one’s no different. Atlanta’s patron saints go back and forth, floating over a guitar loop and an 808 so smooth it could rock anyone to sleep on it’s own. This one has everything we love about Future and Thug, go check it out on Audiomack.

The Motion- Drake Ft. Sampha
The Motion is all the best parts of Drake’s multiple personalities on one song. Rapping and crooning about a toxic relationship over a deep muted synth is where Drake is at his peak. When you add Sampha haunting the background, you have yourself an all-time great Drake song and the best release of the week.
