For Your Rotation! (June 27, 2025)
Ovrkast. - I’m On
Released in 2025, Ovrkast has become one of my personal favorites the last four years, and I don’t see that changing anytime soon. This song gives me everything I want when it comes to bars, flows, and great production. This song is definitely making it into my top lists this year. Ovrkast. does everything himself, which lends more credit to his talent! This song is from his 2025 album While The Iron Is Hot.
Producer - Ovrkast.
Trent Josiah - BLOCK!
Released in 2023, Trent Josiah (FKA Trent the HOOLiGAN) is an artist I absolutely love hearing from wherever he releases. I became a fan four years ago from his 2019 album Medusa, and it's been history ever since. The self-reflective lyrics hit me at multiple points in this song, and this is something he does often. The production fully compliments the tone of the song as well. This song is from his 2023 album 91OCTANE!.
Producer - Plumdog
BeMyFiasco - Finally
Released in 2024, BeMyFiasco is an artist I have been loving since my first listen two years ago. Her voice is amazing, and she makes R&B that is right up my alley! This song is one I have had on repeat lately, and I am still not tired of it. If you love smooth R&B and Neo-Soul with a mix of some Hip-Hop elements, this is absolutely made for you! This song is from her 2024 EP Pretty Little Love.
Producers - BeMyFiasco & Tall Black Guy
Trevor Spitta - SWAGGER BACK
Released in 2023, this is one of those songs that gets me hyped and picks my mood up for sure. This song always gets multiple plays when it comes on, no debate about it! I have enjoyed what Trevor Spitta has released since my first listen three years ago, and this song is one that keeps popping up for me. If you want an easy going song to get your mood up, this is for you!
Producer - Max Mitchell
Planet Giza, Kojey Radical, & Venna - ELEVATOR
Released in 2023, Planet Giza has become one of my favorite groups that you NEED to listen to! This song is one of the first choices I would show someone who has never heard them, and having Kojey Radical and Venna on it makes it perfect in my eyes. This song is from their 2023 album Ready When You Are (which is an absolute must listen if you haven’t already).
Producers - Planet Giza, Venna, JMF, & Elijah Mansevani
Shae Universe - No Capacity
Released in 2024, Shae Universe is an artist who stands out and is completely unique. I have not heard ANYONE who sounds like her, and that’s why I am fully invested in what she does with her music. Her voice always has me hooked, and her production choices compliment it amazingly! Whenever I see her release music, It's definitely a must listen for me. This song is from her 2024 album Love’s Letter.
Producers - Sean Hamilton
G.L.A.M. - Sleepin On Me
Released in 2023, G.L.A.M. has been around for years, her talent needs to be recognized. Her creativity and talent bag seem endless due to her abilities as a rapper, producer, and DJ. This song is one I find myself having on repeat numerous times, and I never get tired of it! If you want a song that will put you in a good mood, I fully recommend this to you!
Producer - Nacolbie Edwards
Mark Saunders & Nyck Caution - DON’T TRIP
Released in 2025, Mark Saunders is an example of how many artists there are that continuously put in work, giving their all to their listeners. Many people don’t think about how artists have personal lives as well, and they create art while dealing with everything in between. Mark Saunders has been an artist I am keeping my eye on. I have really been enjoying this song a lot, and there is so much potential that I see here!
Jordan Ward & Lido - PRICETAG/BEVERLYWOOD
Released in 2023, This song gets stuck in my head at random times, and I never get annoyed with it. Jordan Ward has had that ability since my first listen six years ago, and his music continuously gets better. I love his ability to blend Hip-Hop with R&B elements, and I think that makes his style unique to him! This song is from his 2023 album FORWARD.
Producer - Aksel Arvid, Beat Butcha, Lido, & Nascent
Sainté - Dora
Released in 2025, Sainté has made some of the smoothest songs in my playlist, and that has been consistent for about four years now. His production picks have been unmatched when it comes to smooth vibes, and he knows how to flow over it to make the song greater! I find myself putting this song on for multiple different occasions. If you want a song you can just vibe to, this is right up your alley!
Producers - Parker Jazz & BB
