    We've gathered you all here today to rant about songs you should be spinnin' on repeat right now.

    Stormzy - Cigarettes & Cush (Feat. Kehalni)

    Stormzy dropped off his debut album Gang Signs & Prayer today and it's steaming hot. One of the unexpected jams on it is this one with Kehlani. It's not a grime tune but it's fiery and sweet simultaneously.

    THEY. - Truth Be Told

    US duo THEY. dropped their debut album Nu Religion: Hyena today and this is a highlight from it. The twinkling break-up anthem feels light as a feather but it's as deep and dark as they come.

    Young Thug - Safe

    Young Thug is back with a slippery, tropical-leaning tune that highlights all his greatest strengths. It's apparently taken from a new album called I Never Quit. Let's hope he never does.

    The Kite String Tangle - Selfish

    He kept us waiting long enough. It's been three years since the release of his debut EP Vessel but The Kite String Tangle has decided to stop being selfish and gift us a tune. Selfish is aptly the name of the song and it's a glistening, sparkly slice of electronica, introducing us to a slightly more forthright sound. 

    LASTLINGS - Urges

    The Gold Coast's slickest duo Lastlings are back with their most accessible song yet. It takes those dreamy vibes and beefs up the melody, taking them closer towards pop without comprimising their individuality.

    Cadence Weapon - My Crew (Woooo) (Prod. By Kaytranada)

    Kaytranada is a really underrated rap producer and this track plus his Vic Mensa feature on his LP are proof of that. He's behind this new Cadence Weapon track, a hard-hitting hip-hop jam with a sampled hook that's infectious.

    Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You (Feat. Stormzy)

    This week's been all about the Ed x Stromzy bromance. First they interviewed each other, then they performed together at the BRITs and now Ed has released a version of Shape Of You with Stormzy on it. The core of the song doesn't change but Stormzy's verse makes it 100 per cent more #merky.

    Yellow Claw & DJ Snake - Good Day (Feat. Elliphant)

    When your opening lyric is, "You make me feel like all those kids who were supposed to stay the night but changed their mind and called their Mummy," you know you're onto a winner. Elliphant is the queen of the feature and Yellow Claw and DJ Snake are the kings of housing a feature. Win WIN.

    Busy P - Genie feat. Mayer Hawthorne

    When Ed Banger drops a record you better listen. It's always guaranteed quality and this Busy P jam is no different. A very slick, falsetto-driven dance number.
