Zelly Ocho’s “Dirty Drugs” recent album is a 14-track record full of (who would’ve thought) drugs, voice experiments, and heavy bass instrumentals. The autotune is not just present — it’s over the top, which makes it hard to understand the lyrics sometimes, but it also adds to the album’s overall atmosphere. Multiple “Dirty Drugs” features include “Brand New” with Trippie Redd and “Cup of Ice” with Joeyy and Ricky Chix.

Big Homiie G’s “Self Made Self Paid 2” record is an eight-track addition to the artist’s previously released “Self Made Self Paid” album.

“Locked In” by Nuage~Soul and F.S Rudy is a classic Atlanta banger.

Such is the case for UBS, who partnered with Rico Love to host songcraft sessions at Sound Emporium Studios in Nashville. Art and money have been associated since the beginning of time. From Gaius Maecenas to the Medici family to Heineken, the wealthy have always sought to support the arts, whether to help develop culture, avoid taxes, market themselves, or otherwise.

The deluxe version of BIG30’s “Still King“ record is rather versatile, yet there are pieces binding the album. While bangers and lyrical compositions with various genres appear throughout the record, many tracks will likely have boosted bass and aggressive or suspense-sounding piano in the background. This situation ends up being a double-edged sword. While the similarity of the sounds gives BIG30 a signature style, some tracks might appear too similar.
