Key Glock (@KeyGLOCK) - "PROJECT X" (Album)

Key Glock does what he does best on this album. Key Glock enters a new era with PROJECT X, his first full-length release since continuing to carry the Paper Route Empire legacy forward. Notably, longtime collaborator Tay Keith appears on this project and his beloved producer tag appears early in the album. "Face Down," is a standout track that shows Keith's and Glock's chemistry, as two Memphis natives. Keith's influence can be heard and felt throughout the project as well, alongside production from C.N.O.T.E., Oh Ross, King Wonka, and more. Instead of stacking the project with features, Key Glock relies on his signature confidence and hard-hitting production across a focused 20-track effort. The album arrives after months of anticipation and follows a period of reflection for Glock, who recently opened up about navigating fame, patience, and the lessons he learned from his late mentor, Young Dolph. While many artists chase viral moments, Glock has continued building one of rap's strongest independent brands. PROJECT X finds him doubling down on what got him here. Those things have been consistency, self-belief, and his Memphis sound. - via HotNewHipHop

Crip Jesus - “Watts Prophet" (Video)

The Los Angeles based emcee and Killah Priest Royal Priesthood group affiliate Crip Jesus has released “Watts Prophet," the first single and video from his wildly anticipated forthcoming album, Blu Tang Forever, arriving July 11, 2026. Inspired by The Watts Prophets, the song is a street sermon on survival, trauma, knowledge, and rebirth. Produced by Nitro-Geez (IG: @getthatmoneytv), the record finds Crip Jesus connecting the blocks of Los Angeles to ancient history, proving that the struggle and the wisdom have always traveled together. Touching on gang culture, community trauma, African origins, spirituality, and resurrection, Crip Jesus delivers a message rooted in hard-earned experience and elevated thought. Rather than glorifying the streets, he examines the scars they leave behind while pointing toward growth, knowledge, and transformation. The video was filmed by Mykel.Sahih (IG: @Mykel.Sahih), with graphics by FreeslaveCato (IG: @shotbyhigherselfmedia). Known for blending West Coast street narratives with esoteric teachings, Crip Jesus continues to carve out his own lane with a style that is equal parts street testimony, spoken-word tradition, and underground Hip Hop.
