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 collab from Gorillaz and Skepta plus a highlight from the brand new Kehalni album.
ONEFOUR - Say It Again (Feat. A$AP Ferg)
Sydney rap crew Onefour are already doing big numbers on streaming but they're about to go global. Their latest single recruits A$AP Ferg for an urgent, alarming cut with one hell of a hook.
Hp Boyz - Enemies
Melbourne rap crew Hp Boyz have release their debut project 6 To The World and it's opened by this banger. Enemies is a triumphant victory lap with the boys rapping about where they've come from and where they're going.
Little Simz - might bang, might not
Little Simz new project is appropriately called drop 6 and it opens with this gem might bang, might not. For the record, it does bang. Simz showcases her technique over a shuffling jungle beat that undeniably British.
Gorillaz - How Far? (Feat. Tony Allen & Skepta)
Gorillaz have been sporadically releasing songs with names like Georgia and slowthai. This week, they recruited Skepta for a song that sounds as grandiose as a Bond theme. Rarely do you get to hear Skepta over something like this.
Kehlani - Can I (Feat. Tory Lanez)
Kehlani is not technically is a rapper but she's got some bars when she wants to deliver. On her new record, It Was Good Until It Wasn't she shows them off on Can I. She gives us fast-paces verses slowed down by a soulful, slow-moving chorus.
