#RushHourRap – Benny The Butcher – One Way Flight

What’s a stage with no mic and no voice of a poet?
What’s more important, the flower or the soil that grow it?
Yeah, it’s cool, but one rule, don’t get caught in the moment

As Ron Burgundy once said, “Drink it in, it always goes down smooth” and thats exactly what this track is: smooth. Benny the Butcher released his new project “Burden of Proof” last month, which HotNewHipHop is calling “one of the best albums of the year.” If you needed any more convincing, the whole album was produced by Hit-Boy, who if you didn’t know has produced some of your favorite songs like Paris by Jay-Z and Kanye, Trophies by Drake, Clique by GOOD Music, Drop the World by Lil Wayne, Sicko Mode by Travis Scott and the list goes on and on. Get your earbuds in and get this album going right now.

Shoutout to Gary for the rec

#RushHourRap – J. Cole – Middle Child (Video)

I know we’ve been doing a lot of J. Cole lately, but hey the guy is on fire right now. Yesterday he dropped the visuals for his latest single, Middle Child, and it is a trip. J. Cole, so hot right now. J. Cole.

I’ll let HotNewHipHop break it down for you below:

The visuals start out on a dark note with a group of figures behind the rapper as he sings for the camera. Things brighten up when he sits passenger side in the whip, ending up in a lavish cabin by the fireplace. A woman bounces her booty back and forth in the corner of the room with Cole paying little attention to her. The most lighting in this video comes when Jermaine rolls through the supermarket, casually flowing through the juice aisle with so much swag. This is one of the best videos of 2019 and it may remain in that category at the end of the year.
