// NC //'s TOP HIP HOP SINGLES

“I've loved all three mixes of this song. He's a genre-bending artist and crazy talented. I wish him all the best. @Nathan, I hear what you're saying, the voice is polarizing, but through his evolution from the two mixtapes to his live shows now, it's definitely improving. I think it'll impress a lot of people on the album.”

“Banger. Loving the chemistry between these two. Looking forward to more Jared Evan in the future for sure.”

“This ish has been in my head all day. And that's a good thing.”

“Live instrumentation makes hip hop universal.”

“Damn”

“Straight hits.”

“I've been a fan of Taio since his first album Departure, and all three singles from Rokstarr have been great. Not sure what Luda's doing on here—an odd pairing made worse by his mediocre bars. I don't think Taio needed him to make headway in the States, but after Jay Sean blew up with Lil Wayne on the track, I'm sure every UK R&B cat will follow in suit. Hope this gains some traction.”

“Solid. What song was this Drake verse on previously?”

“I didn't want to like it. Didn't work”

“The third verse on here is one of the best versus I've heard this year. It's what we need more in hip hop: crazy skill and real, honest emotion. I still hang on every word of every verse this dude does. It's crazy.”

“Played this all weekend. His bonus tracks from Twitter are better than 3/4 of the album tracks I've heard recently. Can't wait for the record.”

“I'm already a huge fan of Benzi and Posner, and XV has impressed me with every track I've heard. Smooooooooth.”

“I"m torn between Z and Santa—It's got the pop appeal to be a single, but the vibe of a final track on an album. Either way, it's dope.”

“Posner is the ish and shows some serious skill on the boards beyond his own cool ass quirky style. Still love his voice. Great hook. Oh, and One Be Lo is fly as hell too. Banger.”

“Been a fan of Casely since I heard Emotional and Drunk Dial. No idea why this kid hasn't seen radio success. Great voice, cool ass production, perfect for the club”
