Algo – Omar Apollo feat. Drayco Mccoy
Omar Apollo is a star in the making and this song proves exactly that from his hook to his mixture of singing in spanish and english. Alongside fellow Indiana start Drayco Mccoy, they together serve up one of 2017’s best tracks.

When I Get Rich – L.A. Van Gogh
L.A. returned this month dropping his new project “Everything is Subjective” and this track served as a highlight as he shares his thoughts on what he would do if he was rich from buying luxury items, taking a care of his family, to even buying a cloud to make sure it doesn’t come out when the suns out. This project serves as a great insight into LA’s life and is a quality listen that needs to be in your rotation. Check out his video for this song here.

No Mas – MFnMelo
If October showed us anything it’s that Chicago’s Pivot Gang has another star in the making with Mfn Melo. The song “No Mas” serves as a more up tempo song that will have the hook stuck in your head for days. S/o Xavier the Trill as well, who also comes in delivering another great feature verse. Don’t sleep on these guys.

Talk 2 U – Brent Faiyaz (Prod. By LosHendrix)
2017 is Brent Faiyaz year as he broke out with of 2017’s best hooks on Goldlink’s “Crew”. He followed it up with a great new project this month and continued his hot streak. The song “Talk 2 U” gives off a lot of 90’s R&B vibes and show off why Brent’s voice is so special.

Black Sheep White Dove – IDK (Prod. by Thelonious Martin)
Idk is one of the most promising young stars in rap and his new album has only solidified that argument even further. On this song Idk collabs with Chicago’s own Thelonious Martin who provides an incredible beat. The song is split in two parts and I still can’t decided which I like more, it’s that good.

Frozen – Wu-Tang Clan feat. Method Man, Killa Priest, and Chris Rivers (Prod. By Mathematics)
One of the month’s most pleasant surprises was Wu-Tang Clan returning and dropping another dope album to their collection. This song in particular goes nuts with each rapper dropping quotable bars after quotable bars, showing that regardless of their age their rapping skills don’t skip a beat.

Go Get Sum Mo – Young Dolph Feat. Gucci Mane, Ty Dolla $ign, & 2 Chainz (Prod. By The Honorable C.N.O.T.E.)
Young Dolph has had a quite an eventful 2017 to say the least and with his name in headlines he served up one of the best albums of the month. Every song on this project is a great in its own right but this star studded lineup stole the show. Each feature brings their own unique spin to the track and chalks up another W for Dolph.

Big Bank – Big K.R.I.T. Feat. T.I. (Prod. By Big K.R.I.T. x Will Power)
K.R.I.T. is back and in a big way with this new banger as he teams up with fellow southern rapper T.I. for this track. Plays this at max volume.
