On the rap side, Mike WiLL Made-It and 21 Savage link for “ATL” off the upcoming R3set project, bringing that gritty Atlanta energy back to the forefront, while Coi Leray taps NBA YoungBoy for “Better Than Yours,” blending melodic vibes with street energy . We also got full projects in the mix — Jack Harlow’s new album Monica is making noise as he continues evolving his sound, and Keri Hilson stepping back into the game with a new album is a moment for real R&B fans who’ve been waiting on her return. Add in PCD’s “Club Song” and Lebra Jolie’s Better Than Yesterday, and you’ve got a lineup that really covers every vibe — from the club to the feelings to the grind.
