For Your Rotation (Oct 30th, 2025)
Here we go again! Culture of the Day closing out the month with some of their favorite vibes as of recently! Make sure you check out the accompanying Spotify playlist.
Here with another entry into the “For Your Rotation” series!
It’s already the end of October, and it feels like the month just started! Honestly, this has probably been one of the longest and fastest months this year. We’re getting closer toward the end of the year, which means everything is going to go by faster with the holiday season here. Which means it is getting closer to seeing everyone’s Top lists for the year! It’s time to start thinking about what we’ve all been listening to this year and seeing where our music tastes have been.
This week’s list is a mix of songs that have encapsulated multiple vibes I have had for the past couple weeks, which means my life has been everywhere (in a good way tho). I hope that y’all enjoy this week’s list!
Watching time pass you by can invoke numerous feelings. Try to enjoy the time you have currently.
Here are 10 songs from my rotation that you might enjoy!
For Your Rotation! (October 30, 2025)
Earl Hondo - dolo
Released in 2025, this song has been on repeat since it came out. It has everything I want here, which is great production, great flows, and bars! Earl Hondo is an artist that came across my radar in 2024, and I am always interested to hear what he’s got cooking up. I’m excited to hear what he’s gonna do on a future full length project! If you want a song that can bump, this one is for you!
Producer - D. Sanders
Latrell James - Help
Released in 2020, Latrell James has songs that randomly pop up that get multiple plays, and this is one of them! His lyrics always hit when I hear him, and his work as a producer is elite. He offers the perfect balance of what I want to hear, and I really appreciate what he does with his artistry. If you want a good introduction to Latrell James, this is a song I would recommend! This song is from his 2020 EP Under.
Producer - Latrell James
BROCKHAMPTON - RENTAL
Released in 2017, this was one of my favorite songs that year, and is one I still find myself coming back to almost 10 years later! The production had me hooked within the first 15 seconds, and the hook still gets stuck in my head. The vulnerable lyrics are always present within BROCKHAMPTON’s music as a collective, so I really love that. If you want a great song to chill to with substantive lyrics, this is for you! This song is from their 2017 album SATURATION III.
Producers - Kiko Merley, Jabari Manwa, & Romil Hemnani
MFnMelo - Bankroll
Released in 2024, MFnMelo is an artist I absolutely love hearing from, and look forward to whenever he releases! I first heard him in 2017 from a feature he had with Pivot Gang member Saba, and I have been hooked ever since. Every member of Pivot Gang has their own sound, and MFnMelo does an amazing job at displaying his own creativity within the group and as a solo act!
Producer - Renzell
Grace Sorensen - CAN’T KISS AND FORGET
Released in 2025, Grace Sorensen came across my radar in 2024, and I have been impressed with what I have heard from her. Her voice is very refreshing to hear, and I really love her attention to detail within her production choices! You can tell she has many different influences when it comes to her style, and I think that it blends together greatly. If this is your first time hearing Grace Sorensen, this song is a great introduction! This song is from her 2025 album BLUEPRINT.
Producers - Grace Sorensen & Matt Noveskey
Bas & The Hics - Four Walls
Released in 2025, Whenever I see Bas and The Hics release music together, I have to check it out immediately! Bas’s style mixed with the talent and style of The Hics makes a combination I didn’t know I needed when I first heard them. Based on all of these previous collaborations together, I already knew I would love this song and album from all three of them! If you haven’t heard this, you need to check it out! This song is from their 2025 album Melanchronica.
Producers - The Hics, Alex Tapia, SoundWavVe, Ron Gilmore, & KQuick
ScHoolboy Q - Blueslides
Released in 2024, ScHoolboy Q is one of my favorite artists, and this song proves why. ScHoolboy Q is no slouch on the mic, and his lyricism needs more attention. This song is one of his most introspective and vulnerable songs, and proves that he is an artist with multiple different pockets. As one of my favorite songs from 2024, I fully recommend this song if you want substance and topics to think about when it comes to life. This song is from his 2024 album BLUE LIPS.
Producers - J.LBS, Jason Wool, Mario Luciano, & Tae Beast
BARii - Barbershop
Released in 2024, this song came across my radar in 2024, and I think this is one of the most underrated finds that year. I really love how simple the topic of the song is, but a feeling everyone has had once they get that hair cut. I also really loved his ability to tie that in with relationship topics, which makes it even more relatable. His voice and the production match really well together, which makes this an enjoyable listen many times over!
Sunni Colón - UNIVERSE 4 TWO
Released in 2022, Sunni Colón has been an artist I have been a fan of since 2018, so he has multiple songs that get stuck in my head at random times. His style blends so many different elements together in a way that is unique to him, and that is a major win in my book! I can truly say, I never get tired of hearing his music, and I never get tired of coming back to future classics like this one. This song is from his 2022 album JúJú & The Flowerbug.
Producer - Sunni Colón
Britton Rauscher & 350 - ELIJAH WOOD
Released in 2024, this song is one that I find myself coming back to more at random points. I liked it when I first heard it in 2024, but I find myself loving it even more as time has gone on! Britton Rauscher has pockets within his songs that fit perfectly with his flows and bars, and I feel this song is a great showcase of that ability. He makes it sound so effortlessly, which is why I recommend this if you want clean flows, bars, and great production! This song is from Britton Rauscher’s 2024 album DIRT CHEAP.
Producer - Karl St-Amant
