The Ones: Best Rap Songs of the Week From Wayne Valentine, Rico Nasty, Lil Keed, MIKE, and Wifigawd

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.


Wayne Valentine - “idkboutthat[90]”

Producer Wayne Valentine wears the influence of J Dilla on his sleeve as he flips Bow Wow’s “Don’t Know About That” into a crisp knocker.


Rico Nasty - “Guap (LaLaLa)”

When Rico Nasty hops on a Kenny Beats instrumental she sounds like she’s a split second away from ripping a haters wig off.


Lil Keed - “Nameless”

Lil Keed will have the high school IG captions on lock for the next month with “Nameless.”


MIKE - “PRAYERS” [ft. Medhane]

MIKE’s music ascends when he collaborates within his New York-based community, and it’s no different when his bro Medhane jumps on the track.


Wifigawd - “Lexus”

Wifigawd brings his D.C. flexing to the Texas funk suplied by Dretti Franks.
