Riding In Rotation, 4.1.20
If there’s one thing consistent in rap, it’s that I can always depend on rappers I listened to growing up to produce projects that resonate with me. Funeral by Wayne was amazing. Untrapped by Gotti was a pleasant surprise, too. Jeezy and Ross came with it last year. If I don’t listen to new rap much, does that make me an oldhead?? Was this how the generation before me viewed Wayne, Ye, and them?? Music really is generational. Although, I must admit, Rod Wave the only new rapper I’m a fan of. If you’re an avid listener of rap, is there an artist I should check out? Check out 8 songs on rotation at the moment below.
What else am I missing out on? Leave a comment!

“Them Uzis get so surgical, shooters, they shoot like Türkoğlu
We murder you, then bury you, dig a hole and throw dirt at you
You disappear like abracadabra, magic like 32...”
“Don’t mix the twenties with the hundreds, you must be crazy
Expensive habits
Said not a wise purchase, gotta have it
Exclusive drip, boy, I got this shit from Paris
One on one, nigga, you will never have it
I’m on my fifth Rolls Royce, I’ma addict
Grandma house, north Memphis where I had it...”
“I work too hard for my name to let you come put dirt on it
I came up out the mud I emerged with no stain on me
And if there’s beef, then there’s beef cuz we ain’t squashin shit
I jump in the whip I got my glock and shit
I’m with the hittas they be poppin shit
And police don’t be stoppin shit
Ain’t no cup of liquor big enough to hold my pain, hold my pain...
”
“No one could understand, I had way too much aggression
That built over the years from my abandoned adolescence
See I done been lied to, backstabbed, and heartbroken
I wanted to cry but I was too afraid to open
Prayin’ one day I’d find a peace of mind by the ocean
I spent all my time committing crimes to get closer...”
“Been chasin’ these presidents so long they must be tired (Yeah)
They better not close their eyes, ‘cause Tunechi never blink (Never blink)
And if you sleepin’ on Lil Tunechi, rest in peace
’Cause all a nigga do is win like I cheat
And I ain’t sleepin’ ‘til they bring me to the priest...”
“How you try to come get it off of me, but treat me like I’m worthless?
If she ain’t got her nail done, I curve her, broke bitch made me nervous
Lil’ baby want me to buy a Birkin, but I don’t think she worth it
Said she saw me all in them videos, I look better in person
She chose up when she seen me pullin’ up, but I had to curve...”
“I’m rockin’ Dior in the trap spot
We just switched up the house and it’s still hot
[On my shit in a whole nother league with it]?
Gotta keep me a fire, I’ma sleep with it
I’m just hittin’, she know she can’t be with me...”
“See me grindin’ in these Dickies and these new designer belts
Only thing that’s on my mind, an abundance of wealth
Givin’ up or givin’ in is some shit I never felt
’Cause I’m a street nigga, and I don’t sleep nigga, gotta eat, nigga
Street nigga, nothin’ cheap nigga, we don’t lease, nigga...”
