His propensity to blend genres, his often light-hearted lyrics and his pop-oriented musical production, do not align with my vision of rap.

Wiz Khalifa's latest single "5 Star" featuring Gunna showcases the rapper's continued evolution and collaboration prowess.

In '2004', YG demonstrates a rare combination of fluidity and commitment. His ability to glide across the beats with an impeccable flow does not compromise the depth of the content. Instead, each line is intense, captivating the listener. His music is a perfect balance of style and substance. This track is proof that YG is an artist capable of marrying technique and meaning with ease.

Wale, in this track, shows once again his ability to blend different genres. He doesn't limit himself to hip-hop, but enriches it with R&B nuances, creating a familiar sound. This fusion is not only an exercise in style, but serves to intensify the emotional impact of the song. And then there is his ability to rap. Wale is a master at playing with words, creating complex rhymes and modulating his voice to best express his emotions. In 'Blanco', his rap part is an explosion of words that intertwine with the melody, creating a hypnotic and relaxing effect. His ability to go from moments of pure energy to moments of deep introspection is what makes this track so engaging; it reminds me of when you would slow dance, hugging your woman.
