What makes the Migos’ dynamic work well is their chemistry; they seamlessly enter, exit, and provide adlibs for each others verses, weaving a complex web of rap dynamics whenever they step into the booth. It’s the stuff of beauty, and, while often replicated, is never properly recreated. Most of the time, the competitive nature of artists causes them to attempt to outdo each other or offer their own spins on the formula, often times leading to lackluster results. On Asian Doll, Cuban Doll, and Honey Oso ‘s new track “Gangsta,” the three unknowingly channel Migos and the group’s chemistry and intensity by doing everything right that other artists do wrong.

The way that the three women come in and out of the Helluva-produced beat is beautiful, each three offering a frenetic flow that captures their street-fueled rhymes perfectly. Arguably, the most interesting verse of the three comes from Oso, a newcomer whose hard-hitting rhymes juxtapose with her beautiful, innocent appearance. We will definitely be on the lookout for more of her.

Check out the video for “Gangsta” below.

Akhil Sesh’s latest visual is “Lil Thouwow” and if there’s one word to describe it, it’s definitely “wow.” That’s a good one by the way, often because the word gets misconstrued in this context. In the visual for the song smoother than usual song, Akhil Sesh loads on copious amounts of special effects that showcase a drive to be eclectic. It works, too.

Y.E.D. hails from Atlanta and is more grassroots than anyone coming out of the city. His raw, visceral style of music relies on its spontaneity for thrills. “Like I Never Left” captures lightning in a bottle for a captivating sound and style that place you right in the action. The video will give you vertigo, but it’s mesmerizing in a way that Harmony Korine’s K.I.D.S is.

Watch Corin Gabriella’s exciting new video for “Brooklyn.” It has a very grassroots feel to the way that it’s shot and the frantic, energetic viewpoints that it uses to portray the city’s angst. Corin is a rising R & B stalwart out of the city with a soulful sound that cuts through much of the more atmospheric muddling that exists in contemporary soul culture. With a fresh, funky twist, her latest will give you something to remember.
