Happy October! Just in time for #SpookySzn, some of our favorite artists have been dropping heat. Put down your phone’s worn out top 40 playlist and let us curate some ~kinky~ vibes for your week.

“Mr. Right Now” - 21 Savage feat. Drake

21 Savage drops his highly anticipated Savage Mode 2 produced by Metro Boomin. 21 taps Drake to take turns flexing their stance in the music industry. Right Now is a playful ode giving us a peek into the rappers’ fleeting romantic escapades. The song teeters between flexing, feelings and recounts of past hookups. 21 Savage and Drake come off beyond jaded yet still ready to be the men of the moment. The track is as charming as 21 and as in-your-face as Drake. As the rappers go down memory lane, SZA, Beyoncé and TLC are name-dropped as some of the industry’s most nostalgia-inducing ladies.

“Trap Door”- Melo Makes Music

Melo places listeners in a dreamlike state with the cool synth-driven melodies taking us back to our Owl City days. He raps about being a one-man army, hoping to alter his reality and avoid.

“Crystal Necklace”- Happie Pat

Chicago based creator drops his 6-track debut ep I’m Not Ok, highlighting creatives’ existential struggles brought on by the pandemic. The album is an ode to finding inspo in unfavorable situations.

“Text” - Reeseynem

Reeseynem is back with another TikTok-friendly bop for the girls to play before they pop out to the #sociallydistanced function, while the guys can kick back and hope for a reply.
