Travi$ Scott featuring Big Sean, "Don't Play"

Travi$ Scott unveiled his collaboration with Big Sean at SXSW called “Don’t Play.” Now, we get the official version to hold us down. This track isn’t as momentous as anything on his debut mixtape Owl Pharaoh, but it’s a good sign that he’s in the lab making new music.

Listen above.

Big K.R.I.T., "MT. Olympus"

Big K.R.I.T. got the streets primed for his new music with "Week Of K.R.I.T." in early March, where he dropped a new track or freestyle every day throughout the week, and now he's back with a vengeance with his first official single off his sophomore Def Jam effort, Cadillactica. The track, titled "MT. Olympus," is a scathing swipe at the hip-hop scene around him, particularly on the hook, saying, "Thought they wanted trap/Thought they wanted bass/Thought they wanted molly/Thought they wanted drank/Fuck them niggas."

Krizzle also addresses Kendrick Lamar's "Control" verse—"That 'Control' beat is like a ugly bitch that everybody done fucked raw/Maybe you hit it/Aw man, I'm more concerned why niggas been texting my cell/Callin' my phone/Askin' me 'bout this Kendrick shit/That he ain't even really dissed me on"—and articulates his struggle between juggling the music he wants to make, the music his fans want him to make, and the music that would put him on the radio across the world, finishing up with the heartfelt, "What’s good for hip-hop may not be good for my soul."

Ariana Grande featuring Iggy Azalea, "Problem"

These girls have one less problem without you. Following up her widely successful debut Yours Truly, Ariana Grande is right back to work on her sophomore album. After premiering "Problem" at the Radio Disney Music Awards on Sunday, she is now offering the full single for purchase on iTunes. It features Iggy Azalea, who tells off a certain someone. Listen above.

DJ Khaled featuring Jay Z, Rick Ross, Meek Mill, French Montana, "They Don't Love You No More"

Just merely a few hours after DJ Khaled announced his new single with Jay Z, he’s actually ready to drop it tonight.

Khaled’s “They Don’t Love You No More” gathers an all-star cast of rappers—Rick Ross, French Montana, Meek Mill and Hov—for a big posse cut. When Khaled says he takes over the summer, you best believe he isn’t joking around.

Listen to the track above and look out for his eighth studio LP, titled I Changed A Lot, slated for this year.

Vic Mensa, "Down On My Luck"

Vic Mensa has been keeping a low profile after since his last release, but he’s back with new music.

“Down On My Luck,” produced by Stefan Ponce, gives Vic an bouncy, house beat for him to rap over. Although we don’t know if this will appear on an upcoming mixtape, it’s something to hold us over.

Check it out above.

Lil Boosie, "Heart Of A Lion"

The wait is finally over.

After teasing the artwork for "Heart Of A Lion," Lil Boosie drops the first official song from his upcoming album Touchdown 2 Cause Hell out July 15.

The single caters to Boosie's distinct style with a gritty backdrop and tough-talking rhymes. Boosie Boo is also planning on releasing another album this year, so we'll continue waiting to see how this one shapes up.

Listen to the track above and check out our interview with Boosie when he swung through the offices.
