This week has been a blessing for music lovers and fans because finally artists like Saba, Brent Faiyaz and Baby Keem dropped singles after over a year of being inactive. Slowthai, James Blake, and more to name also had important releases this week, let's check out the hottest ones below:
Mrs. Whoever / Something in the Water
Saba
The long awaited return of one the best upcoming rappers, Saba, is finally here with two new releases named "Mrs. Whoever" and "Something in the Water" . The artist started teasing these songs two days ago on his social media with cryptic messages and fans were more than excited to see their favorite artist return."Mrs. Whoever" reminds us of the 2016 Saba, since it's a guitar driven R&B jam which sounds like something out of his debut album "Bucket List Project". The second single "Something In The Water" finds Saba and collaborator Denzel Curry spitting smart lyrics over a trap beat and making a perfect atmosphere.
Listen to the songs here.
hooligan / sons & critics freestyle
Baby Keem
The 19 year old wonder kid releases "hooligan" and "sons & critics freestyle" after a year of being silent and he is ready to win a place on your playlists. Both of the songs are accompanied by trap beats filled with piano and the unique Baby Keem's voice and flows to make your head bumping the whole time you listen to them. Listen to the songs here.
Dead Man Walking
Brent Faiyaz
There's not much to say for this talented person since he makes his music talks for itself with beautiful instrumentals and a distinctive voice that anybody can immediately recognize. "Dead Man Walking" is another masterpiece from Brent Faiyaz and it's one of those songs that you just instantly love.

Feel Away
Slowthai, James Blake, Mount Kimbie
There are not so many songs that you just fall in love with for the first time, but "Feel Away" is definitely one of them. Everything about this song is beautiful from the perfect production by Mount Kimbie to Slowthai's smooth rap and finally James Blake eerie vocals. You truly get lost in the harmonies and if you know that this song is dedicated to Slowthai's lost brother you just love it even more.
