Memphis music is truly unstoppable. Each month welcomes more and more incredible new projects. Here are just 5 we\u2019re highlighting for May that we\u2019ve had on repeat:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

R\u00d8A- “BORDERLINE<\/strong>“<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

For several years, Memphis singer-songwriter R\u00d8A has quietly been releasing some of the city\u2019s best and most experimental alt-R&B and neo-soul songs. We\u2019re proud to announce that her newest single \u201cBORDERLINE\u201d is no exception. Dedicated to the ups and downs of what she calls a \u201ctemporary lover,\u201d the song\u2019s hazy atmosphere paired with R\u00d8A\u2019s unique vocal style is a perfect fit for the coming dog days of summer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Key Glock- “No Sweat<\/strong>“<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Key Glock\u2019s emergence as one of the city\u2019s most popular stars in recent memory is due in large part to two things: his effortlessly hypnotic flow, and his elite ability to select beats. Both of these strengths are on full display throughout his fourth album Glockavelli, which is a masterclass in finding a lane and then excelling within it. While we\u2019d suggest listening to the album in full, \u201cNo Sweat\u201d is an excellent starting point.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cyrena Wages- “If It Ain\u2019t Broke<\/strong>“<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In her new single \u201cIf It Ain\u2019t Broke,\u201d Cyrena Wages embodies a classic and beloved figure within popular music: the woman scorned. Although we’re accustomed to Wages\u2019 soulful Americana coming with a bit of venom, this is the singer at her snarky best. Teased as the first single from an upcoming album, \u201cIf It Ain\u2019t Broke\u201d has us giddy to hear what comes next.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C MaJor, Spookyli, AWFM, & Project Pat-“Expresso<\/strong>“<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

When Unapologetic\u2019s last Stuntarious album was released, Avengers: Endgame was dominating the box office, \u201cOld Town Road\u201d was inescapable, and global pandemics were solely the concern of epidemiologists. In other words, it\u2019s been a hot minute, but the wait was well worth it. With Stuntaious V<\/a>, the gang is back to their old tricks with a few new and exciting faces along for the ride. One of the many stand-out tracks in \u201cExpresso,\u201d an already great posse cut that is elevated even further by the inclusion of Memphis rap icon Project Pat, whose menacing sing-song flow never ceases to get heads bopping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spek Was Here & Dame Mufasa-“Rabbit Reloaded (Low Down Dirty Shame)<\/strong>“<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Speaking of posse albums from innovative local hip-hop talent, iNGud Co\u2019s newly released Anthology, Vol. 1 is proof positive that Unapologetic doesn\u2019t have a monopoly on avante garde hip-hop and R&B. Featuring performances from Spek Was Here, The Goddessie, Dame Mufasa, Ash Leon, 91\u2019 Co., and others, Anthology is truly one of the best\u2013and most unexpected\u2013 local releases of the year thus far. The opening track \u201cRabbit Reloaded\u201d sets expectations high from the beginning, which the crew goes on to clear throughout the 7-song project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
