Memphis music is truly unstoppable. Each month welcomes more and more incredible new projects. Here are just 5 we’re highlighting for March that we’ve had on repeat:
Uni’q – “Ain’t No Sleepin”
One thing about the Unapologetic crew is that they are ALWAYS working. Their output is unreal not only because of the volume, but because of the quality. Uni’q’s new single “Ain’t No Sleepin” is just the latest example of this. Over soulful yet poppy production by SunnyDizzle, the Memphis songstress showcases her undeniable vocal prowess. The track was also mixed by industry powerhouse Ari Morris, so you know it’s something special. Listen to a snippet below and download the UnApologetic World app to hear it in full.

Kendrick P – Prelude EP
Is there anyone out there smoother than Kendrick P? No, for real though. Anything that the Memphis singer puts out, elevates and redefines our idea of sensual R&B. Don’t believe me? Just hit play on his latest project, Prelude. The three track EP is a hypnotizing listen, complete with melodic production and Kendrick’s velvety vocals. It’s an excellent offering, proving Kendrick’s own lyrics: “Let’s be honest, I been on it. Who fucking with me? Please show me my opponent”
K Carbon ft. Mello Buckzz and Big30 – “Un Huh”
There’s absolutely no messing with female rappers these days. These ladies are unstoppable with each new song better than the last. On “Un Huh”, Memphis rapper K. Carbon links up with rising Chicago artist Mello Buckzz and together they create a bouncy and utterly infectious anthem. Joining them is fellow rapper Big30, who nicely adds just a lil’ extra Memphis to the track. All three provide solid verses, but it’s the ladies that truly standout and take this song to the next level.
Supa Glock Bros – “St. Gatrick’s Day Freestyle”
Leave it to Supa Glock Bros to turn a lame (sorry but it’s true) holiday into something so much cooler. The Memphis trio, who have all been busy working on their solo endeavors, link back up for the much welcomed “St. Gatrick’s Day Freestyle.” Here, they seamlessly blend their unique styles on the track to create one cohesive output. It’s what makes Supa Glock Bros so good – they understand how to maintain their individuality while still functioning as a group. St. Gatrick’s Day >>> St. Patrick’s Day.
Lukah ft. Real Bad Man – “The Facilitator”
Memphis rapper Lukah is set to drop his new album Temple Needs Water. Village Needs Peace, and to give us a preview of what to expect he’s shared the first two singles off the upcoming project. The latest is “The Facilitator,” which finds Lukah operating at his very best: impeccable delivery, poignant lyricism, and flawless technique. “This project is about the community or the village,” Lukah told us when we spoke to him about the LP last week. “I have a lot of shit in my head that I just have to get out.” If the rest of the album mirrors the magnitude of “The Facilitator,” we’re lucky to hear his thoughts.
