Rico Nasty: Ben Taylor/The FADER; Lil Yachty: Brad Ogbonna/The FADER; Rina Sawayama: Megan Eagles; Saweetie: Valerie Chiang/The FADER
Each week The FADER staff rounds up the songs we can't stop playing. Here they are, in no particular order.
Tay-K, BlocBoy JB, "Hard"
Tay-K and BlocBoy JB get amped up and dark for "Hard," a surprise collaboration that's got blow-your-car-speakers chops.
Rico Nasty, "Trust Issues"
Rico Nasty and producer Kenny Beats are two for two for bangers with "Trust Issues." And we can't get over it when she says: "I make mo' money than my old teachers and I'm proud of that / You thought you was teachin' me, well, bitch, I shoulda taught yo ass."
Lil Yachty, "Count Me In"
Our favorite off Lil Boat 2,Yachty's newest project, is "Count Me In," a breezy freestyle over blown-out bass and onomatopoetic adlibs that keep it fun.
Saweetie, "Agua" - 10 songs you need in your life this week
Saweetie's "Agua," which finds her smooth flexing all the diamonds on her wrist, probably sounds best blasted while you're getting ready for a night out.
Chris Stapleton, "I Want Love"
Chris Stapleton gives Elton John a run for his money in his rendition of "I Want Love," which is heart-wrenching and totally karaoke-worthy.
Rina Sawayama, "Alterlife"
We know Rina Sawayama's "Alterlife" came out five months ago, but her addictive twist on digital glossy-pop never gets old.
Juls, feat. Moelogo, Siza, DJ Tunez, "Oshey"
Catch a vibe with Ghanaian producer Juls' latest, "Oshey," which, with its minimalist afropop beats under Moelogo's airy vocals, is a laidback banger.
