It’s Friday, and you know what that means—new music drops are flooding our playlists like an overenthusiastic DJ at a wedding. This week, pop and hip-hop heavyweights (and some promising newcomers) are serving up fresh bangers, emotional ballads, and beats so fire they might just set your AirPods on fire.
Whether you're looking for a club anthem, something to cry to at 2 AM, or just want to pretend you're in a music video while walking to your fridge, we’ve got you covered. Here’s a breakdown of this week’s biggest and best releases in pop and hip-hop.
Lisa – 'Alter Ego' (Album)
BLACKPINK’s Lisa is stepping into her solo superstar era with Alter Ego, a genre-blending album packed with high-energy rap, sultry R&B, and dancefloor-ready beats. If you loved her tracks like Money, this album takes it up a notch, featuring heavyweights like Future, Raye, and Doja Cat.
Must-listen track: “Switch It Up” ft. Doja Cat – A fierce club banger that screams main character energy.
For fans of: Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, and K-pop-meets-hip-hop vibes.
Lizzo – 'Love in Real Life' (Single)
The queen of body positivity and feel-good anthems is back with a glamorous, MJ-inspired track that’s dripping in '80s synth-pop nostalgia. If you miss that iconic 'Thriller' energy, Lizzo’s latest song will have you moonwalking into the weekend.
Must-listen moment: The explosive saxophone solo in the bridge—because why not?
For fans of: Beyoncé, Prince, feel-good bops that make you strut.
Jim Legxacy – 'Father' (Single)
If you haven’t heard of Jim Legxacy yet, this is your “I knew them before they blew up” moment. The UK rapper/producer’s latest track is an electrifying blend of alternative rap and underground grime, and the Lauzza-directed music video is a cinematic experience in itself.
Must-listen moment: The glitchy, futuristic beat switch that hits like a plot twist.
For fans of: Playboi Carti, slowthai, and boundary-pushing hip-hop.
Paris Texas – 'They Left Me with a Gun' (EP)
Paris Texas is back with an explosive new EP that blends punk, rap, and alt-rock into one chaotic, head-banging masterpiece. If you're into genre-bending hip-hop that makes you want to jump into a mosh pit, this is your new obsession.
Must-listen track: “Bulletproof” – Imagine Run The Jewels and Nirvana had a baby… yeah, it’s that wild.
For fans of: JPEGMAFIA, BROCKHAMPTON, and pure, unfiltered chaos.
