Memphis music is truly unstoppable. Each month welcomes more and more incredible new projects. Here are just 5 weâre highlighting for April that weâve had on repeat:
R.U.D.Y – âShine Onâ
Memphis rapper R.U.D.Y is special. We saw it on his first single âShow Improvementâ and we see it yet again on his latest song, âShine On.â Over triumphant production courtesy of TP808s & B Stylz, R.U.D.Y masterfully delivers one empowering line after another. âEach bar is an affirmation to be the light when youâre surrounded by darkness,â R.U.D.Y says of the song. Damn, if your spirit isnât lifted after hearing this, then we are not the same. This one will be on repeat for a while.
Cyrena Wages – âAre We Allowed To Fall In Loveâ
Iâll admit it, Iâm a sucker for an emotional tour de force ballad. You know what Iâm talking about too: that type of love song that you have to start over because it didnât hurt you enough the first time you hit play. Cyrena Wagesâ new single, âAre We Allowed To Fall In Loveâ is one of these songs. Beautiful and delicate, the song transports you to another time and place and begs you to get lost within its notes. Itâs a stunning track; one that once again showcases Wagesâ prowess as a songwriter.
Key Glock ft. Young Dolph – âLetâs Go (Remix)â
How can you make a song as massive as Key Glockâs âLetâs Goâ even bigger? Add a surprise posthumous verse from Memphis legend Young Dolph. Yea, this shitâs as wildly good as youâd expect. Long Live Dolph.
CMajor – “B?tchâŚAre You Dropping These?“
Most artists and producers have a folder of songs they recorded that, for one reason or another, never get released. Luckily for us, this isnât the case with producer CMajor. Instead of keeping these gems to the confines of his hard drive, he decided to share them with listeners on Unapologeticâs UNDRGRNDAF Radio. Featuring some “some pretty high profile people” (Project Pat?!?! Wiz Khalifa?!?! Ty Dolla $ign??!? Say less), the collection showcases CMajorâs wide range as a producer. The tracks are said to only be up temporarily, so hurry up and listen to them before they get taken down and put back into CMajorâs vault.
GloRilla ft. Kevo Muney – âAiteâ
Earlier this month, Memphis superstar GloRilla dropped her new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang, and on it she enlists the help of a handful of fellow Memphis artists. One of the standout tracks from the project is âAite,â which features Memphis singer Kevo Muney. The two nicely balance each other out, with his soulful vocals providing the smooth hook in between Gloâs sharp verses. The whole tape is a must listen, but this song is specifically special because, after all, whatâs better than one Memphis powerhouse on a track? Two.
