Swae Lee’s solo career began this week, while plenty of emerging stars prepared for the summer with captivating new music. Hip-Hop has been missing from the top 10 Billboard charts for nine weeks now, but this week’s new releases could change all of that. T.I.’s “Let Me Know” has become the rap song to secure a gold certification by the RIAA. An inspiration for others to follow suit.
Kanye West, Cardi B, and 50 Cent might have had a hold on this week’s headlines, but social media couldn’t stop raving about emerging stars such as Darius Martin, Bunna B, and Denise Julia. And with summer around the corner, so many artists are releasing new music to claim their spot on the charts.
New albums from Bossman Dlow, Snoop Dogg, and Conway The Machine are coming this week, but there are still so many new tracks that have gone undiscovered. From Swae Lee’s first day out to Latto’s mid-2000s rewind to Dough The Freshkid’s new wave, here’s a list of new tracks you might have missed this week.

I’m not putting myself in a box.”
