Songstress SZA liberates "Childs Play" featuring Chance The Rapper, who was rumored to have material with TDE's leading lady earlier this year. Although I've heard multiple artists use XXYYXX's "About You" and am actually tired of hearing it, I have to admit this take on it is pretty refreshing. With additional production from Dae One, SZA's smokey mesmerizing voice sounds amazing and Chance cleans up the end of the track with a few nice bars. All in all a short track to get the blogs buzzing and wanting more. Z drops April 8th.

Asher Roth - Fast Life ft Vic Mensa
With Asher Roth's sophomore album RetroHash now available for pre-order and with a release date of April 22nd it seems we'll finally get the follow up to his 2009 debut Asleep in the Bread Aisle. "Fast Life" the second single from Ash features Chicago's Vic Mensa who sounds right at home over the Blended Babies production, as both emcees spitting verses about getting caught up in the fast life (as you probably guessed).

Johny Locus - Room 209
It's been a minute since we've heard from SNB's Johny Locus who has been in the cut since dropping his last project Point Blank but today marks his return. On "Room 209" Locus paints a picture of a live function and may have inadvertently created the unofficial anthem for Delaware State. I've stated it before but I think it's necessary to again, Johny is almost untouchable when it comes to his flow, few rappers I know can do what homie does.
