This work, released in March 2026, is a standalone single following her August 2025 album “You Heartbreaker, You,” and it features Mike Patton as a guest.

We Don’t Get AlongJuice WRLD & Marshmello

Juice WRLD, Marshmello – We Don’t Get Along (Official Video)

From around the mid-2010s, Juice WRLD drew attention as an artist producing what was considered “emo rap.” Starting with a melancholic guitar riff that gradually layers into a lively trap beat, the contrast with his delicate vocals makes for an incredibly satisfying track.

The lyrics, hinting at inner fragmentation, are quite emotional.

Sadly, he passed away in December 2019 at the young age of 21, but this track, “We Don’t Get Along,” is a collaborative song with the famously masked DJ Marshmello.

Although it originally leaked around 2020, it was officially released in March 2026 as a previously unreleased collaborative recording.

It’s a must-listen not only for Juice WRLD’s fans but for everyone.

MIKE, Earl Sweatshirt, SURF GANG – Minty // Earth

Rapper MIKE, known for his introspective musicality, and Earl Sweatshirt, widely praised for his rapping talent—these two tracks are their latest releases.

The first half leans toward a mellow style of rap, while the latter half features low-end-heavy verses that make use of space and distortion, creating a characteristically introspective feel.

This work features the production collective Surf Gang and was released in March 2026 as a lead single from their 33-track album “POMPEII // UTILITY,” scheduled for release in April 2026.

It’s an unmistakably them kind of inventive sound that makes you think, almost instinctively, “Yep—this is how hip-hop should be,” lol.

Metric – Time Is A Bomb (Official Visualizer)

Metric, the Canadian indie rock mainstays who continue to enjoy worldwide popularity, have released this track as the lead single from their forthcoming tenth album, “Romanticize the Dive,” slated for April 2026.

Since forming in 1998, they’ve been known for contributing songs to numerous visual works, and this new piece showcases their signature sound—deftly weaving in electronic elements and driving, high-energy ensemble work.

Be sure to pay attention to the lyrics, which grapple with the urgent theme of how to live within finite time.

Packed with catchy hooks, it’s a killer tune that even listeners unfamiliar with indie rock can enjoy.

Highly recommended for anyone craving mature, grown-up rock.
