DJ Khaled – I’m The One (feat. Jusitn Bieber, Quavo, Chance the Rapper & Lil’ Wayne)

Do we like this song? Yes. Are we upset we did not get invited to this ridiculous DJ Khaled party? A little. Are we perplexed as to why Chance’s belt buckle is blurred out in the video? Yes. DJ Khaled is not necessarily our idol, but we wouldn’t mind being that appalling if it meant being that successful. You keep doing you, man.

Favorite Lyric: It really doesn’t have great lyrics, it’s just really catchy.

Halsey – Closed Eyes

Do we like this song? “Rhetorical question Farley. Take a lap.” Yeah that’s a Mr. Woodcock quote. Anyway… it’s Halsey. She produces straight fire all of the time. Legend has it she is the Human Torch’s sister, which accounts for the fire production. We realize Sue Storm is his sister, but just go with it…

Favorite Lyric: “Now if I keep my eyes closed, he looks just like you But he’ll never stay, they never do” Is her boyfriend pitch black?

Dreezy – Body feat. Jeremih

Do we like this song? Yes. Do we know anything about Dreezy? No. Do we care? No. Do we like Jeremih? Yeah, we are tone deaf, but have head that he has a very good voice. Funny that we are tone deaf and have a music blog… don’t read too much into that. We still have good taste.

Favorite Lyric: “N/A” It’s a pretty suggestive song and we’d like to keep this post PG for our young readers.

Sexion d’Assaut – Balader

Do we like this song? Most definitely. It is an old French Hip-Hop song, but has a dope beat. The word balader means “to stroll” in English. We are very amused at the fact that Sexion d’Assaut wrote a rap song about strolling down the Champs-Elysées. They also ride smart cars (some convertible), which is just ridiculous.

Logic – Black Spiderman (feat. Damian Lemar Hudson)

Hey… For once we are actually on the earlier side of finding a song. Logic just released a new single and it’s got everything you want in a rap song:

  • a guy rapping about himself,
  • a choir that occasionally sings but is more there to dance and look happy (serious question: is Rick Ross in the choir…? 1:15)
  • a dude playing the piano on a float
  • a reference to Donald Glover playing Spiderman
  • Logic attempting to dance
  • Khalid sitting on a bench doing nothing outside a barbershop
  • Logic’s wife getting hit in the eye with confetti at 4:17
  • and a surprise twist that Spiderman was the dude playing the piano the whole time!

Mind blown. Did we mention it’s got a piano and a choir? Name me a bad rap song that has a piano and a choir. Yeah that’s what I thought.

Favorite Lyric: “I’m just as white as that Mona Lisa, I’m just as black as my cousin Keisha, I’m biracial so bye Felicia”

THEY. – What You Want

Do we like THEY.? Yeah, THEY. is great. It’s also fun to use “THEY. is” in a sentence, suck it English teachers. In a few months, these guys are going to blow up the music scene. For now you can enjoy them on underground, incredibly informative blogs like ObservedGuide. What You Want from us other than more great music?

Favorite Lyric: “Knock them out the park, you got the juice like Barry Bonds”
