j-hope feat. GloRilla, 'Killin It Girl'
As the BTS members complete their mandated military services and their millions of fans wonder what will come next for the globe-conquering group, j-hope is enjoying a nice little run of solo singles right now: following 'Sweet Dreams' with Miguel and 'Mona Lisa,' 'Killin' It Girl' takes a time machine back to early 2000's hip-hop percussion, with j-hope flexing over the beat and GloRilla crashing the party midway through.
Lil Tecca,
Lil Tecca's Dopamine kicks off with 'Dark Thoughts' and 'OWA OWA,' a pair of sample-heavy singles that have recently gone viral and reinvigorated the New York rapper's commercial prospects — yet his fifth album sounds more self-assured than his previous output, with Tecca using his recent success as a springboard to refine his aesthetic instead of freezing in the face of expectation.
Gunna, 'Won't Stop'
An artist as prolific as Gunna typically doesn't wait until June for his first release of a calendar year, but 'Won't Stop' follows up last year's One of Wun with three minutes of calm determination, as if the rapper had been waiting for the right moment to once again strike; the single artwork depicts an ancient, decaying clock, a nod to how long Gunna believes his reign will last.
Mark Ronson & RAYE, 'Suzanne'
From Amy Winehouse to Miley Cyrus to Lykke Li, Mark Ronson has always excelled when presenting a magnetic female singer with a rich sonic tapestry, and 'Suzanne,' his new single with 'Escapism' star RAYE, provides her soaring voice with big-band opulence, creating a throwback soul-pop track that still sounds like it could very well crack pop radio rotations today.
Brandon Lake,
Is Brandon Lake ready to be the mainstream face of contemporary Christian music? After 'Hard Fought Hallelujah,' his absorbing team-up with Jelly Roll, cracked the Hot 100 chart, new album King of Hearts has primed the gruff-voiced, deeply passionate singer-songwriter for a much wider audience, with further collaborations on the full-length still allowing his solo spirit to make a lasting impression.
Editor's Pick: Zara Larsson, 'Midnight Sun'
Although Zara Larsson has enjoyed a winding career over the past decade, her finest moment remains her hit MNEK collaboration 'Never Forget You' — and fortunately, her upcoming album Midnight Sun, including the quiet-storm title track, was created alongside MNEK, as the studio polymath once again provokes the most immediate hooks out of the Swedish pop star.

Kendrick Lamar Blocks One Of Hip-Hop's Most Successful Women From A New No. 1
Cardi B's 'Outside' debuts at No. 2 on both Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop and Hot Rap Songs charts, ... More landing behind "Luther" by Kendrick Lamar and SZA. BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA - MARCH 10: Cardi B attends the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party hosted by Radhika Jones at Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts on March 10, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by) Cardi B rules several Billboard charts this week with her brand new single 'Outside.' The tune opens in first place on five rankings, as it's a bestseller and a powerful streamer, especially within the hip-hop genre. The Grammy winner nearly secures a new champion on some of Billboard's most competitive style-specific tallies, but another one of the most successful names in the history of rap music blocks her. 'Outside' Starts Behind Kendrick Lamar 'Outside' debuts at No. 2 on both the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts this week. Cardi lands behind Kendrick Lamar and SZA's collaboration 'Luther,' which has been running the show for months. That track earns its twenty-seventh stay atop both of those consumption-based rosters. It recently became the longest-running No. 1 in the history of those two charts, and each week that it holds on, the song extends its lead and makes history once again. Cardi B's Collection of No. 1 Smashes Cardi has already claimed the top spot on both rankings in the past, where she enters in second place this time, so a No. 2 start isn't too disappointing. She has racked up half a dozen stints ruling the Hot Rap Songs ranking and one more on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs tally. She's also accrued more than 20 top 10s on the two busy lists. 'Outside' Enters at No. 1 on Several Billboard Charts While 'Outside' misses the throne on multiple rankings, it does conquer the Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales, Rap Digital Song Sales, R&B/Hip-Hop Streaming Songs, and Rap Streaming Songs charts. 'Outisde' is the latest single from Cardi's highly anticipated upcoming full-length album Am I the Drama? As it arrives, the cut also reaches the top 10 on both the Streaming Songs chart and the Hot 100, where it narrowly manages to become her thirteenth smash to land inside that competitive region as it kicks off its time at No. 10.
