The Ones: Best Rap Songs of the Week From JG Riff, Puffy L’z, Shygirl, Keyah/Blu, and Benny the Butcher

The must-hear rap songs of the week.

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace it's difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That's why every Monday through Friday the Levels team highlights their must-hear tracks with The Ones. This is our weekly roundup of the songs you should be checking for. Thank us later.


JG Riff - “No Bluffing”

The DMV has a melodic street rap scene too.


Puffy L’z - “Front Gate” [ft. Giggs]

We need the video of Kawhi Leonard putting all of his energy into shouting Puffy L’z’s signature “Ahwoolay.”


Shygirl - “Uckers”

Shygirl is bringing that villainous energy to the dance floor.


Keyah/Blu - “Choker”

I love some whisper raps.


Benny the Butcher - “Took the Money to the Plug’s House”

Half of Benny the Butcher’s one-liners might be lies, but they sound so damn good.
