After much speculation and thirst, Kanye West not only announced the title and release date of his eagerly awaited sixth album, but unveiled two new singles: “New Slaves” and “Black Skinhead.”

Turning our attention of the lower echelons of the rap world, we pick our favorite slept-on releases from the past week. Thanks to Chuck Inglish, Gunplay, Julian Malone, Elijah Blake and Devine Camara.

Still no word on whether this will actually appear on his upcoming Stay Trippy debut, but Juicy J goes ahead and gives his new Crazy Mike-produced track the video treatment.

After literally world premiering his new single, “New Slaves,” on Friday night, and announcing the title — Yeezus — and release date — June 18 — of his massively awaited sixth solo album yesterday, Kanye West claimed the SNL stage as his own last night.

In an incredible 24 hours, Kanye West debuts his new single, “New Slaves,” in spectacular fashion, and announces the title and release date of his massively awaited sixth solo album.

Nipsey Hussle ends his dry spout with this smooth, new wave R&B-infused jam, “Smoking With My Stylist.” Nip will be gifting more gems like this for every 2,000 new Twitter followers he gains.

Following recent impressive offerings like “CoKo Bajio” and “Ques an Chârdé,” on-the-rise New Yorker Oscar O’Malley brings us something new to enjoy with “Billy Butcher.” Over some thumping orchestral production, Oscar showcases his lyrical flexibility and super animated flow. Now when’s that project coming?!

TGIF. But any day with some new Wu-Tang is a good one. On this never-before-heard gem unearthed by Soul Temple, “Execution In Autumn,” Inspectah Deck, Raekwon, RZA and U-God do what they do best over some funky Frank Dukes production. The track is currently available on a “pay what you feel” basis over on Bandcamp. That’s an offer you don’t turn down.
