Aesop Rock and Blockhead drop another teaser track in the run-up to their second collaborative album. “Coyote Summer”, featuring Hanni El Khatib, digs into survival instincts and the knock-on effects they have on perseverance in a hostile world. Once again, Rock is on form, while Blockhead’s production works in tandem with Khatib’s vocals, helping build a coherent track with clues about what we can expect ahead of Trouble Mountain’s release.

Taj Austin is a revolutionary act, and his four-person group Coast Contra, who’ve been tearing up the scene for years, continues to amplify the genre. This time, Austin teams up with producer Khrysis on “THANK Y’ALL N****S”, with a composition and story filled with motivational anecdotes about moving forward and embracing change.

Ray Vaughn is now part of the Top Dawg Entertainment furniture and continues to operate with a stylistic key of success. His fresh drop, “Set It Off”, produced by Hitmaka, is a reflective track before the beat switches up to an uptempo, tailspinning production, detailing hardship, hustling, and the violence it brings, while exploring his own lifestyle and the women who surround him.

Daniel Son, Futurewave, and Asun Eastwood pair up to tear it up for “Clean Up Nice” over reverberating snares and hard kicks. The trio makes strides and right now, there’s not one bad track coming out of their camps.
