CRT FRSH [Certified Fresh] Playlist 11.1.24

CRT FRSH, Hip-Hop Wired’s playlist the place we try and showcase music we imagine is “Licensed Contemporary,” is again for the autumn season with a truncated choice. Now that we’re again, we’re trimming down the CRT FRSH playlist and updating the idea with our newest drop which we hope you all get pleasure from.

Disclaimer:

The CRT FRSH playlist is a labor of affection. We don’t take funds nor can we do favors. We solely add joints to our playlist that match the theme and imaginative and prescient we’re going for and don’t search to waste the listener’s time. Additional, we don’t stick to 1 lane of Hip-Hop. We imagine that every one features of the music ought to get some mild, whether or not it’s younger lions within the trenches or these hoping for that one shot to blow as much as grizzled veterans puffing out their chests with tons extra to say.

I need to clarify how I strategy curating the CRT FRSH playlist. Most significantly, I don’t segregate my Hip-Hop. Each type of music from the primary cultural tree deserves a hear and a glance. Once I assemble the playlist, I need to embody all areas throughout the States and, when relevant, throughout the globe. I additionally need to entertain each fan of Hip-Hop, not simply those that get pleasure from one section of it. Now that we’ve bought that out of the best way, let’s get to it.

For these devoted few who sustain with the updates, you’ll have seen I created a playlist in reminiscence of the late Kaseem “KA” Ryan, maybe Hip-Hop’s biggest lyricist if not the style’s most honest and susceptible. That playlist, which captures only a small slice of who KA was, might be heard by clicking right here.

We open up this week’s playlist with Tyler, The Creator’s “Sticky” from his new CHROMAKOPIA, which options GloRilla, Sexyy Purple, and Lil Wayne and is taken into account an early standout amongst some. We observe that with Megan Thee Stallion’s “Larger In Texas” from her Megan: Act II reissue and finds the Houston Hottie in prime kind.

The Alchemist is nice for dropping potent singles out of the skinny blue sky and we’re higher for it. Including to that stellar monitor file is “Ferraris In The Rain 2” that includes Freddie Gibbs and ScHoolboy Q. Danny Brown dropped his strong Quaranta album close to the highest of the 12 months and the Detroit-born, Austin-based rapper and podcaster launched a deluxe of the challenge. We embody the somber “Preserve It To Me” from the drop.

The Underachievers, AKTHESAVIOR and Issa Gold have been creating superb music since their 2013 debut, Indigoism, together with constant solo initiatives between then. Their new single “Have Nots” is a continuation of their esoteric poetics and atmospheric beats. We even have Buffalo’s Che Noir and her single “Black Single that includes Rapsody from Che’s The Black Lotus challenge, which she produced herself.

A robust salute to Patty Honcho, Lil Uzi Vert, A$AP Ferg, RXKNephew, Knowitall, Chuck Strangers, Milc, Blaq Chidori, Ab-Soul, BigXThaPlug, El Cousteau and the remainder of the contributors to this week’s playlist.
