Hip-hop music comes faster than any other genre. It's not uncommon for a rapper to drop upwards of three projects a year and while that's great, it becomes increasingly hard to stay on top of it. 'The Rap Wrap' is our attempt to keep you in the know on the weekly. This week, you're getting a new Run The Jewels heater plus a highlight from the surprise Childish Gambino record.
The Kid LAROI - Addison Rae
Brisbane's young gun The Kid LAROI keeps the bangers coming, dropping his second track of the year Addison Rae. It's yet another melodic rap moment, namechecking US blogger Addison Rae.
Baker Boy - Move
Baker Boy's output isn't constant but it is consistent. Move is a funky, groove-infused cut that's surely gonna get people moving in isolation. Everything he does is perfected and considered.
Run The Jewels - Ooh La La (Feat. Greg Nice & DJ Premier)
If you thought Run The Jewels' gap between album meant they fell off you better think again. Ooh La La is a steam-roller of a track taking us right back to those relentless raps and vintage-tipping production.
Sophiegrophy - EVOL
Melbourne MC Sophiegrophy has come through with her first release of the year and it's a hot one. EVOL takes her into the dancehall realm with a laid-back but spot-on delivery.
Skepta, Chip & Young Adz - Waze
Skepta, Chip and Young Adz have joined forces to make a grime supergroup and the combination is potent. Waze sees all three rappers on form, flexing with the rawness of a classic freestyle.
Childish Gambino - 12.38
Childish Gambino secretly dropped his new album Donald Glover Presents... last weekend and it features this gem. 21 Savage and Khadja Bonet join Gambino on this Outkast-leaning oddball.
