New Hip-Hop Friday October 23rd, 2026: Anderson .Paak, Cordae and Yung Miami
A shared album, a solo statement and a strong supporting cast give this week’s Hip-Hop listening plenty of directions. Anderson .Paak and Cordae lead the October 23rd edition with a selection from Heavy Is the Crown, while Yung Miami brings Travis Scott into the picture on Watch Dis. These seven picks offer starting points without asking you to tackle every album at once.
The lineup also makes room for Che Noir, Armani Caesar, Toosii, Bruiser Wolf and That Mexican OT. Some choices introduce a larger project; others spotlight a specific collaboration. Start with the previews below, follow a favorite into its full recording and build your own Friday sequence from there.
Anderson .Paak & Cordae — “Crown”
The title connects directly to the pair’s new album, Heavy Is the Crown. Putting this collaboration first gives listeners a doorway into the joint project before exploring its remaining tracks.
Yung Miami & Travis Scott — “Just Might Go”
Travis Scott joins Yung Miami on this Watch Dis selection. It is a useful first stop for listeners approaching her new project through a familiar guest, with the spotlight still on Miami’s release.
Che Noir — “This Morning”
Che Noir’s It Takes a Village supplies this pick. Her place in the roundup broadens the week beyond its biggest marquee names and gives listeners another full project to investigate.
Armani Caesar & Benny the Butcher — “Sephora In Ibiza”
Armani Caesar teams with Benny the Butcher for this newly released collaboration. The pairing makes a clear destination for listeners looking for both artists in one recording rather than a solo introduction.
Toosii — “Highway Love”
Toosii’s Platinum Heart 2 adds another album to Friday’s options. Highway Love is our entry point into that release, giving the roundup a different lead voice before the final two collaborations.
Bruiser Wolf & Conductor Williams — “Ain't Got Time”
Bruiser Wolf and Conductor Williams share billing on this new cut. Their collaboration earns a place alongside the larger album drops, keeping the selection open to different corners of contemporary rap.
That Mexican OT & Kodak Black — “Yo Mama”
Released October 22nd, this Kodak Black collaboration leads into That Mexican OT’s Cucuy arrival. It closes our picks with a recent single attached to a larger release worth exploring beyond one track.
