Best New Tracks: Chance The Rapper, Migos, SZA, Lil Yachty, Travis Scott & Quavo and More

For this week’s music roundup, fans were in for a couple of surprises including the unexpected release of Travis Scott and Quavo’s long-rumored joint album, Huncho Jack, Jack Huncho. Gucci Mane also joined in on the holiday festivities with his own unexpected release of his twelfth studio album, El Gato The Human Glacier. On the note of Atlanta artists, we also saw the release of a hilarious new music video from Migos & Lil Yachty that not only featured DJ Akademiks and Joe Budden lookalikes, but also showcase Offset’s new elaborate $70,000 USD Ric Flair chain. Speaking of disses, Dipset frontman Killa Cam felt the need to drop a Kanye West diss track this week after he felt some sort of way about being mentioned in Kanye’s latest album.

Outside the music, this week also saw several tragic passings, one of which was a pioneer in podcasting and arguably one of the most respected and innovative minds in hip-hop, Reggie Ossé otherwise known as Combat Jack. The other unfortunate passing was MF DOOM’s 14-year-old son, Malachi Ezekiel Dumile. Both are in our thoughts and we send our deepest condolences to their friends and family.
