CRT FRSH (Licensed Recent) Playlist 5.23.25

CRT FRSH, Hip-Hop Wired’s playlist the place we showcase music that we imagine is “Licensed Recent,” is again with the novelty! With our newest replace this week, we’re gonna concentrate on Joey BadA$$ and his feud with what looks as if the complete West Coast earlier than sharing new warmth.

I need to clarify how I strategy curating the CRT FRSH playlist. Most significantly, I don’t segregate my Hip-Hop. Each type of music from the principle cultural tree deserves a pay attention and a glance. Once I assemble the playlist, I need to embrace all areas throughout the States and, when relevant, throughout the globe. I additionally need to entertain each fan of Hip-Hop, not simply those that take pleasure in one section of it. Now that we’ve received that out of the best way, let’s get to it.

The CRT FRSH playlist is a labor of affection. We don’t take funds, nor can we do favors. We solely add joints to our playlist that match the theme and imaginative and prescient we’re going for and don’t search to waste the listener’s time. Additional, we don’t stick to at least one lane of Hip-Hop. We imagine that each one features of the music ought to get some mild, whether or not it’s younger lions within the trenches or these hoping for that one shot to blow as much as grizzled veterans puffing out their chests with tons extra to say. — D.L. Chandler, Lead Curator, CRT FRSH

Like I mentioned, I’m opening up this week’s replace with all of the joints I may discover from Joey BadA$$, Ray Vaughn, Daylyt, and anybody else who hopped within the ring, together with a few of Badmon’s Professional Period group like CJ Fly. Not each music is on DSPs, so what we’ve amassed right here is all we received except of us can clear samples and manufacturing to get it up on streamers.

I’m not choosing any sides within the battle. I’m simply having fun with good rapping, and that it’s all being stored to recordings and never spilling into nonsense in actual life. If rapping is a sport, then battling is among the methods to point out and show one’s mettle. One tremendous spectacular factor is that within the backwards and forwards between coasts, of us are working shortly and addressing bars head-on as an alternative of ducking from any smoke.

If I missed a joint you’re feeling like ought to’ve been added, let me know and I’ll modify. This playlist is dwell for 2 weeks, so we’ll most likely have loads of time to replace this. And, from what I’m listening to on-line, there are over 90 songs recorded by a number of artists since Joey took the primary swipe on the West Coast on his Conductor Williams-produced monitor, “The Ruler’s Again.”

I’m not going to interrupt down each joint. As an alternative, take a look at the gathering of songs we did discover, get your hands on the remainder on-line, and simply benefit from the assortment of recent warmth I tacked on on the finish of the disses.
