AHHH HALil Durk
AHHH HA, with its aggressive track, makes a strong impression.
It’s a song released by Lil Durk, an American rapper popular especially among younger generations.
The track came out on February 22, 2022, and it’s included on an album with a rather suggestive title, 7220.
The song is also regarded as a response to fellow rapper YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s track Bring the Hook.
Be sure to listen to the beef together as well.
Publicity StuntGucci Mane
“Publicity Stunt” is a song by American rapper Gucci Mane, released in March 2022.
The track is said to have been written in response to YoungBoy Never Broke Again’s song “I Hate YoungBoy,” which came out the previous month.
“Publicity Stunt” means “a bid for attention.” In the song, Gucci delivers a scathing critique of YoungBoy’s actions, which he portrays as mere publicity-seeking.
The two had previously released a collaboration—so what happened between them?

First ClassJack Harlow
“First Class” by Jack Harlow, a rapper from the United States, is a rap song that’s popular on TikTok.
What’s notable is its lyrics, which pay homage to Fergie’s “Glamorous ft.
Ludacris,” the hip-hop singer known for her work with the Black Eyed Peas.
It’s hard to notice on a first listen, but if you look closely at the lyric sheet, you’ll find a clever trick where several separated keywords connect to form the word “GLAMOROUS.” This kind of playful touch is quite appealing.
Broadway Girls feat. Morgan WallenLil Durk
A track where Lil Durk’s smooth rap is easy on the ears.
“Broadway Girls feat.
Morgan Wallen” is a song released in 2022 by the American rapper Lil Durk.
The singer with the gritty, wild vocals is the next-generation country artist Morgan Wallen.
His voice has a charm that somewhat recalls Journey’s original lead vocalist.
It’s a rare blend of hip-hop and country, but the song brings out the best of both genres.
Our StyleWILYWNKA & Brasstracks
Our Style features crisp, dry drums and punchy, feel-good brass.
It’s a 2021 track by WILYWNKA, who also raps with the group Hentai Shinshi Club.
The song rides a laid-back, slightly off-kilter drunk beat that feels great, while the brass lends it a happy vibe.
It was created as a collaborative track with Blastracks, a producer unit active in the United States.
You can feel authentic, New York-honed R&B in this one.
The Heart Part 5Kendrick Lamar
Kendrick Lamar, often called the “new king of hip-hop.” Despite debuting in 2011 and belonging to a relatively newer generation of rappers, he has earned numerous awards from a variety of music outlets.
His masterpiece “The Heart Part 5” showcases his dazzling command of rapid-fire rap while still delivering a strong sense of groove.
The music video, with its simple wardrobe and stripped-down direction, is refreshingly stylish—be sure to check it out!
