Not much new music was released in the last week as singles and albums were pushed back out of respect for the protestors risking their lives to combat anti-Black racism in the middle of a pandemic. Still, a number of people have been looking for music to entertain them during this historic time. We saw some artists release new protest anthems in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and others drop their regularly-planned programming. Our staff gathered up our personal favorites from the last several weeks for the new update of the TIDAL Wave playlist.

We start off with a stretch of music that will wake you right up, including Meek Mill's new single "Otherside of America" and select sounds from Run The Jewels, Flatbush Zombies, and Freddie Gibbs. This week's update is filled with RTJ4 tracks, also complemented by a number of selections from FBZ's new album now, more than ever. 

Elsewhere on the tracklist, there are offerings from Gunna, Lil Durk, Sleepy Hallow, Conway, Joell Ortiz and KXNG Crooked, Leon Bridges, Lil Yachty, and more.

This was not an ordinary week. We won't pretend as though it was. There is a revolution happening outside and, although we would love to solely focus on music and the regular hip-hop news, that's not entirely appropriate right now.

We have made an effort across our editorial staff to bring you news from the protests in addition to some hip-hop news. This week, labels and artists decided to push back their releases and, although there was still some new music released today, it was to a much lesser degree than what was expected.

Every week, we update our TIDAL-exclusive TIDAL Wave playlist with the songs that our staff has been feeling the hardest. If you've been turning to music for a temporary distraction from the world that surrounds us, check out the updates we've made this week.

We start off with one of the stand-outs from Lil Wayne's brand new Funeral deluxe edition before bringing you the fire "T.D." freestyle from Lil Yachty's new album with Tierra Whack, A$AP Rocky, and Tyler, The Creator. Next up on the docket is Conway's "Front Lines" effort before Freddie Gibbs and The Alchemist take over.

We've also got new cuts from G Herbo, Kevin Gates, SAINt JHN and Future, RMR, ROSALÍA and Travis Scott, 6LACK, Aminé, and more. Check out our individual contributions below and sign up for a TIDAL trial here.

We've been lucky enough to make it through this pandemic with a ton of good music. Artists are doing their best to release a bunch of fire new sounds for us to enjoy, doing God's work and giving us some much-needed entertainment during these rough times. This week brought us so many vibes and the new TIDAL Wave playlist update reflects what was playing in our homes -- the staff of HNHH.

Every week, we gather our favorite new musical offerings for a TIDAL-exclusive playlist and this time around, we've got all of the best new songs in a concise list for you.

TIDAL Wave starts off with the brand new collaboration between Gunna and Young Thug, "DOLLAZ ON MY HEAD." Their second track on WUNNA is also included further down the playlist. We're also giving you "TOP FLOOR" with Travis Scott, "COOLER THAN A BITCH" with Roddy Ricch, and a few solo efforts.

As for Future, we're still bumping that new High Off Life album heavy. We've added "Trillionaire" with Youngboy Never Broke Again, "All Bad" with Lil Uzi Vert, and others.

For stand-alone singles, the staff has been enjoying a lot of everything. Some of us are diving into the new iann dior, others are going for Ludacris' collaboration with Lil Wayne, and others are bumping the new Medhane. Like we said, a lot of everything.

Let us know your thoughts on this week's update and be sure to subscribe to your free trial of TIDAL here.

With each new week, we've been blessed to receive some incredible new musical contributions. It seems like the quarantine was beneficial to most artists, giving them enough free time at home to complete projects that were on the backburner. 

Out of absolutely nowhere, Future announced that his new album, High Off Life, would be out and last week, he delivered. With over twenty new songs and tons of replay value so far, the project has earned a number of selections on this week's update of the staff-curated TIDAL Wave playlist. In fact, I would go so far as to say he completely dominated this week.

Each staff member at HotNewHipHop shares a different music taste. Some of us rock with a more lyrical style of rap while others vibe heavier with production-based trap songs. It seems as though, no matter your preference, Future was a hit at our (presently unoccupied) headquarters. We've included several tracks from the new album, including "Solitaires" with Travis Scott, "Trillionaire" with Youngboy Never Broke Again, "Ridin Strikers," "Trapped In The Sun," and more on the playlist this week.

Elsewhere on the list, we've got the new singles from Lil Keed, Gunna, Gunplay (with Rick Ross), Chloe x Halle, and more.

Getting a co-sign from Jay-Z probably feels surreal for an artist that has been hustling to make it for years. Known globally as one of the best rappers of all time, the Roc Nation head honcho is respected as one of the premier faces in the music industry. His ideas surpass music though, heading over into all aspects of sports and entertainment.

As we near the midway point of the year (already!?). Jay-Z gathered together a list of his personal favorite songs of 2020 so far, showing love to some of the usual characters, and also taking notice of some younger talents.

The list starts off with Lil Baby and "Emotionally Scarred," before the Atlanta rapper appears again with "Sum 2 Prove" and "Grace" with 42 Dugg. Jay-Z is also clearly a big fan of what Polo G has been bringing to the table, shouting out the rising star for "Heartless" with Mustard. At #3, his wife makes an appearance on the remix of Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage." Elsewhere on the 20-song gathering, Jay Electronica makes several appearances, which makes total sense given Hov's involvement in the release of his debut album.

Jay-Z was also busy listening to some of the newer releases, including Future's High Off Life, of which he included "Hard To Choose One." Drake and The Weeknd earn their spots before Westside Gunn, Boldy James, Benny The Butcher, and Conway of Griselda impress the legend.

Check out the full playlist below.

Damn, what an interesting week for new music. As we were all dissecting the Drake mixtape and Chris Brown and Young Thug's collaborative project, the hip-hop world exploded when none other than the self-proclaimed King of New York, Tekashi 6ix9ine, returned with a new single. That's where things start off in the new TIDAL Wave playlist update.

Every week, the HNHH staff goes over all of the recent releases in hip-hop and R&B, putting together a list of our favorite bops and packaging them together for your enjoyment. 

Last week, Drake ruled the playlist and, seven days later, he's still maintained a good number of his spots. From the Dark Lane Demo Tapes, we're featuring "Time Flies," "Landed," and more.

Of course, this update would be nothing if not for last week's new album releases. We were blessed with new music from Kehlani, who takes up multiple spots on TIDAL Wave. NAV also came through with an effort that surprised a lot of people, earning several spots as well. Another star rapper, Lil Durk, also finds his way on the list.

Beyoncé just shared her very own "Classy, Bougie, Ratchet" playlist on TIDAL in celebration of her and Megan Thee Stallion's "Savage" remix. Although Bey's kept pretty quiet about the release of the "Savage" remix since it dropped last Wednesday (April 29th), the Queen came through with a collection of her favourite tunes that fit the theme of the multifaceted bad b*tch anthem. Naming the playlist, which was shared exclusively on TIDAL, after a lyric on the "Savage" chorus, Bey racked up 39 tracks total, curating a mix of hip-hop and R&B favourites past and present.

Naturally, Bey kicked things off with "Savage" remix, followed by a myriad of hits from tons of beloved female rappers like Lil’ Kim, Trina, Kash Doll, City Girls, Lil’ Keke, and Missy Elliott. However, she also made sure to rep her and Meg's Southern roots by including Texas natives like Travis Scott, Slim Thug, Bun B, Paul Wall, Maxo Kream, and, of course, her sister, Solange. Bey also plugs her bestie and former Destiny's Child member Kelly Rowland's new single, "Coffee," as well.

Additional artists who made the cut on the prestigious playlist include legends like Aretha Franklin, Janet Jackson, and Sade, as well as promising newcomers like Don Toliver, Omb Bloodbath, Cookiee Kawaii, and Tobe Nwigwe. Check out the full batch of "Classy, Bougie, Ratchet" selections below:

This is a loaded week for the TIDAL Wave playlist. Each week, our staff mulls over the hottest tracks to have released within the last month and, damn, we had a good time these last seven days. 

A ton of high-profile records saw the light of day, including an entire Drake mixtape (!!!) called the Dark Lane Demo Tapes. A handful of selections from that were chosen for this week's update, in addition to some brand new female rap match-ups. Megan Thee Stallion is vying to go #1 with her Beyoncé-assisted "Savage" remix but Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj are also trying to hit that point with the official "Say So" remix. Both of those have been highlighted on TIDAL Wave.

We've also got new music from Lil Baby, Smoove'L, Jackboy, O.T. Genasis, and more. On the R&B side of things, we're keeping you chill with songs from JoJo, Kehlani, Mahalia, Leven Kali, and, you guessed it, Drake.

Of course, we've also got one joint from that new Chris Brown and Young Thug mixtape Slime & B, of which we expect even more to be added next week. Stay tuned!

In addition to that surprising link-up, we will also receive new projects from Mozzy, Lil Durk, and more. As we wait for those to impact the airwaves, another edition of our staff-curated TIDAL Wave is upon us.

Another solid week for hip-hop releases is behind us, with a number of high-profile artists releasing new singles. Every seven days, we update our TIDAL-exclusive playlist with our team's favorite recent drops and, this time around, we're kicking things off with the first official single from THE SCOTTS, a new group formed by Travis Scott and Kid Cudi.

Premiering the track during his record-breaking experience on Fortnite, Travis Scott's new single with Kid Cudi titled "THE SCOTTS" is expected to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at #1. For that reason, it is the first song on TIDAL Wave. 

Right when the synths stop, Lil Uzi Vert's new single "Sasuke" blesses us before the new efforts by Lil Baby ("All In"), Lil Durk ("Viral Moment"), and more. Juice WRLD's first posthumous release "Righteous" also earns placement in this week's list.

It's been a pretty great year so far as music pertains. Everything else has been proper garbage but hey, at least we've got some good new music. And it's consistent too. Every week, we've seen some of the industry's heavy hitters drop off either a new album, a single, or a project in between. Last week was no different.

In the last seven days, we saw releases from DaBaby, Westside Gunn, a new single from Playboi Carti, a 4/20 release from Wiz Khalifa, and more. That's pretty special if you ask me. All of those are represented on the brand new update of our TIDAL-exclusive staff-curated playlist TIDAL Wave.

This week, we start things off with a stand-out from DaBaby's new album Blame It On Baby. His collaborative single "ROCKSTAR" with Roddy Ricch sees the two breakout stars connecting before we head into more of a hype zone, bringing that Playboi Carti "@ MEH" to your ears. 

There are a few surprises buried in the playlist this week, including one selection from Dr. Dre's The Chronic, which was recently added to streaming services for the first time.
