Danny Brown: “Dirty Laundry”

On any given night in America, there is an open mic event where a green comedian jokes about paying strippers with change and inevitably uses the phrase “making it hail.” No one laughs. On “Dirty Laundry,” being a broke, horny schmuck is the setup instead of the punchline, and Danny Brown kills. He recounts awkward drug sales, a hookup in a Burger King bathroom, and two encounters with a stripper: as a client and as a fellow patron at a laundromat. Skeevy and giddy, he makes the gutter sound like a theme park.

Brown has been telling offbeat stories his entire career, and Q-Tip’s bouncy production—a funky drip of beeps, gurgly synths, and stretched vocal samples—accents his poise. The rapper sounds at ease over this colorful backdrop, his laundry-themed wordplay as loose and entertaining as it is technical. These gonzo escapades lack the teeth-chattering urgency of Brown’s previous music, but ultimately, his dirty-uncle act comes across as relief. He’s a full showman here, his bits polished, his delivery smooth. Most acts don’t mature this well. –Stephen Kearse

Dave: “Screwface Capital”

On “Screwface Capital,” the UK rapper Dave recounts his experience growing up with a single mother, and his transition from boy to man of the house. “So many days that I starved myself to make sure my family eats,” he raps over a dramatic beat. Actually, Dave is barely rapping—his slow, pointed cadence borders on spoken word; at one point, that beat drops away altogether, and it feels as though Dave is delivering an impassioned speech. The song is tagged with a moody, minute-long instrumental outro, which allows this harrowing origin story to properly sink in. –Matthew Schnipper

Dee Watkins: “Hell Raiser”

Dee Watkins begins “Hell Raiser” with a simple question: “If you ain’t talking money then why the fuck you in my face?” He says the line casually—he’s not angry, just curious. The young Florida rapper keeps up this devil-may-care attitude for the entirety of the track, gliding through a Hot Boys-meets-hyphy instrumental courtesy of type-beat producer Rocktee. The accompanying video riffs on the horror flick The Purge, but it’s more carefree than sinister, with Watkins and his buddies kicking up some dirt with their ATVs. “I’m a bad motherfucker ’cause the good die young,” Watkins concludes, and it’s impossible to argue with him. –Ryan Dombal

Denzel Curry: “RICKY”

Denzel Curry blazed a trail for SoundCloud rap—that gritty, bass-boosted sound that reverberated around South Florida and elevated its young practitioners into rock stars. But despite his fame, he’s grown up with his head screwed straight. The rapper pays tribute to his father on “RICKY,” handing down paternal pillars of advice—trust no one but your family, stick up for your day-ones, respect women like you would your mother—to his followers, some of whom started out doubting him. The directives are austere, but a slowed-down sample of the British electronic producer Lukid’s “Twisted Blood” infuses the song with life. “RICKY” clanks and bounces, as if an airplane climbing toward higher altitudes has just hit turbulence. –Cat Zhang

Doja Cat: “Rules”

Doja Cat is a good rapper, a capable singer, and a skilled troll—but rarely has she put all of her talents together as she does on “Rules.” Compared to the L.A. artist’s viral hit “Mooo!,” “Rules” is tame, more centered around her fiery rapping and steady melody. Her personality still drips through her verses, which are loaded with offbeat humor and stylish pop culture references to Wendy Williams, the Olsen Twins, and Paris Hilton. Since her big break, Doja Cat has been trying to stay true to her meme-driven personality while being taken seriously at the same time. “Rules” is that moment. –Alphonse Pierre
