“Zack & Cody” is a booming record that unites Aminé and Valee. Judging by the title, you may think this track is about the twin actors who starred in the original Disney Channel series. But nothing is PG about this record. Straight out the gate, Aminé drops lines about drug use and women, rapping, “I think I’m Leo and pussy the bear/ Smoke with the windows up, gelato air.” Valee is equally explicit, spitting, “Fucked that ho, then got the fuck out there/ SRT-8 truck, it don’t got a spare/ Promethazine, bitch, I don’t gotta share.” “Zack & Cody” is a standout from the deluxe edition of Aminé’s Limbo.

“No Debate” is a bouncy and fun record in which Rico Nasty lays down hard verses over JFK production. On the track, Rico spits cocky lines about her status and wealth while also dismissing her competition. “She need an occupation cause she busy worried bout mine/ Fuck a reputation, I’m still poppin’ on and offline,” she raps. On the chorus, the DMV native is more melodic, singing, “I can show you how to make a bitch lose it.” “No Debate” appears on Rico’s long-awaited album, Nightmare Vacation.

The song is noticeably happy, with Juice talking about the positive sides of being in the limelight, but he does revisit themes of mental health as well. “Workin’ out my demons, they in better shape/ Demons on my back, get them away from me,” he sings. “Real Shit” was released in memory of what would have been Juice WRLD’s 22nd birthday.

On “Reality Is,” Symba tells it like it is. He doesn’t hold back when he raps, “The reality is, most of us ain’t gon’ make it rapping/ Most of us ain’t gon’ make it trapping/ Most ain’t going make it playing ball/ Somebody ain’t gon’ see tomorrow.” Of course, this isn’t the most uplifting of truths, but Symba’s honesty and realism is what makes this an inspirational record. “Reality Is” is a standout on Symba’s newly-released project Don’t Run from R.A.P., which is out today.

Melii and 6LACK make a great duo on their new record. On “You Ain’t Worth It,” both artists are fed up with their relationships. Melii is over the deceit and lack of effort, while 6LACK seems to be done with infidelity. “Out of everything on my list of things that’s worth it/ I did not find you,” 6LACK sings. “Ain’t Worth It” is blunt and would the make the perfect break-up song.
Lil Tjay, “None of Your Love”

“None of Your Love” starts off sentimental, with Lil Tjay interpolating Justin Bieber’s 2010 hit “Baby.” “Oh, for you I would have done whatever/ And I just can’t believe we ain’t together,” he sings. Not long after his heartfelt message, it becomes clear that the Brooklyn artist isn’t serious. He switches up, rapping about betrayal in his romantic relationship. “I don’t want none of your love/ I can name all the lies that you have told me/ It’s crazy cause I really gave you my trust,” he spits. “None of Your Love” is a ruthless track that is expected to appear on Lil Tjay’s upcoming album.

“Legend of Zelda” is a reflective track that traces each artists’ come up stories. On the track, collaborators Jay Worthy and Boldy James trade verses about relationships, crossing enemies on the westside, and more. “Legend of Zelda” is a short song, but its jazzy instrumentals make this the type of record you’d expect to hear in classic film noir. It will appear on LNDN DRGS’ upcoming project, Burnout 4, which is slated to drop on December 11.
