After blessing Camper and Ty Dolla $ign with her magic touch on last week’s Freshest Find, “Oowee,” neo-soul queen Jill Scott joins forces with Rapsody for Grammy-nominated R&B trio Moonchild’s new “Not Sorry” joint. “No, I’m not sorry/ That all my hard work’s been paying off/ And I forgot to pick up your slack,” Moonchild’s Amber Navran coos in the first verse, perfectly encapsulating the tongue-in-cheek giddiness that comes with committing to their own self-interest in the face of a selfish lover. With a wise verse from Rapsody and the sultry glimmer of Scott’s voice, “Not Sorry” arrives as one of the year’s most alluring R&B collaborations. — KYLE DENIS

Raqbaby plays a food delivery driver in the chaotic ”DoorDash (OMG)” visual, but his antics get more devilish as the clip goes on. The Chicago-born rising star moves on from food to shooting opps with his paintball gun and blowing up another customer’s house. Don’t let it distract you from his twitchy flow, as Raqbaby gets reflective about how the dark moments in his life had him contemplating suicide, and nowadays he can’t keep the girls away, but that hasn’t slowed down his goal of one day fathering 40 kids. Put your seat belt on when pressing play on Raq’s high-octane I NEVER GAVE AF project is out now. — MICHAEL SAPONARA

Hearing Prodigy over Havoc production just feels right. The rap game hasn’t been quite the same since P’s untimely passing, so this upcoming Mobb Deep album is not only welcome but necessary. Fully produced by Havoc and The Alchemist, Infinite drops on Oct. 10, and if the rest of it sounds anything like this lead single, then we should be in for another masterpiece. — ANGEL DIAZ

London-based girl group FLO joins 4batz on “act xvi: twentyfoe7,” a smooth, contemporary R&B cut from his Still Shinin album. The track captures the highs and intensity of a consuming romantic connection, balancing moments of vulnerability with the rush of desire. Over smooth, sultry production, the repeated “twenty-four seven” emphasizes unwavering devotion, while the interplay between 4batz and FLO highlights the push-and-pull of love in real time. Released September 12, the song showcases both artists’ knack for blending emotional honesty with modern R&B flair. — C.C.

Bronx MC Connie Diiamond is back with her new Underdog SZN 2 project, and “Breathe” is an instant standout. Over a Go Gizzly-produced beat that immediately recalls the percussive fervor of mid-’00s hip-hop production like Timbaland’s iconic “Drop,” Connie delivers slick verses packed with classically New York braggadocio and swagger. “Been a baddie while you′ve been there so salty/ Had to tell these broke bitches, get off me, look/ Van Cleef and the Scantone coffee/ E-N-E, no, this shit really cost me,” she spits in the second verse. — K.D.

Coi Leray has entered a new era since becoming a mother for the first time earlier this year. With added motivation, Coi’s grit remains as she flexes about getting to the bag with ferocity on “Pink Money,” featuring assists from BKTHERULA and G Herbo. Coi raps about making it rain in Magic City — and she brought that same mindset north to Starlets strip club, where she hosted a wild Wednesday night at the NYC staple gentlemen’s club. Look for more heat the rest of 2025 and a new EP at the top of ‘26 from Coi. — M.S.

KP SKYWALKA followed up his 4 Tha Freakas project from earlier this year with I Tried to Tell You this past weekend, and the single “Industry” serves as the intro to the DMV rapper’s latest album. Come for the H-Town “A Thin Line Between Love & Hate” sample and stay for KP’s raps where he says lines like, “He wanna diss on a song like he Papa Doc” and “Dirty ass spot, I spray it with Baccarat.” — A.D.

With writing and production from Iyn Jay, Trevor Jackson leans into smooth, soulful R&B on “One Foot In,” a single that melds sleek melodies with candid vulnerability. The track finds Jackson navigating the frustration of loving someone who won’t fully commit, crooning lines like “You can’t love me with one foot in and one foot out” over Iyn Jay’s understated, moody production. Jackson’s layered vocals and carefully placed harmonies underscore the tension of craving stability while facing mixed signals, making the song both intimate and universally relatable. “One Foot In” leads into his forthcoming I LOVE YOU EP, arriving October 3. — CHRISTOPHER CLAXTON

BIA has kicked off the rollout for her BIANCA debut album, which arrives on Oct. 10, with the hard-hitting “Dade.” The thumping track will also appear in Madden 26. The Massachusetts native lights up the scoreboard while delivering one punchline after the next, seemingly mimicking a Project Pat flow, before handing the baton over to another Memphis titan in Key Glock, who rarely blesses other artists’ songs, so you know he respects BIA’s pen. “Orange Richard Mille dancing just like BIA, going against Glizzock, I wouldn’t wanna be ya,” he raps.
