Yves feat. Lolo Zouai, “NAIL”

Yves’s track record for making cunty pop songs is 100% right now. “NAIL,” with an assist from French-American singer Lolo Zouai, has a hard, esoteric exterior that melts when you get to its surprisingly sensual R&B center. —Steffanee Wang

Natanya, “DON’T ASK!”

FADER’s GEN F star Natanya continues her generational run with “DON’T ASK!” — an early aughts thumper that twinkles with its harpsichord and pizzicato string arrangement. The music serves as a comfy bed for Natanya’s deliciously dramatic vocals, which feel pre-made for a theatrical lipsync. — Tobias Hess

JT, "Numb"

JT isn’t minding the haters and sticking to her creative guns. With three verses and a characteristically cocky hook, the “City Cinderella” is following a formula that only she can replicate. "Numb" is an electronic rap evolution that will blare in the club and long into the afters. — Kylah Williams

Safety Trance feat. Six Sex, "no me quiero dormir"

Argentinian diva Six Sex and Barcelona-based experimental club producer Safety Trance collide on this fast and furious heater. It’s funny and fiery with Six Sex cooing relatable lines like “I love hot boys / I drink cold coffee.” — TH

Rob49, "Do It"

Rob49 is an explosive rapper, but that brute force belies how agile his raps are. That is front and center on the first half of “Do It,” which opens with a jazzy minor-key beat fit for a Pink Panther cartoon. The beat-switch halfway through provides a perfect springboard for some of Rob49’s most dialed in bars to-date. — Vivian Medithi

Lelo feat. Joey Bada$$, “Yoppenheimer [Remix]”

A huge smile slips across Lelo’s face when Joey Bada$$ starts rapping in the video for “Yoppenheimer [Remix].” When you hear the New York rapper’s ensuing verse, it’s easy to understand why. Bada$$ builds his feature around Lelo’s mini-refrain (“Let’s just be forreal / you ain’t got find no n***a fly as me”), obsessively detailing his fit in 16 densely coiled bars. — VM

Derrick Lumière, "GET MONEY X MINI SKIRT REMIX"

mvlikey · GET MONEY X MINI SKIRT REMIX

What’s the most shocking way you can start a song? Derrick Lumiere answers with a sharp arrival: “I pulled up dick hard in a mini skirt.” It’s a rebellious intro from a queer femme-rapper sick of the narrow boxes gay men are forced into. The song is harder than most of your faves' recent releases. — KW
