New Music Friday is truly a melting pot of soulful R&B and hip-hop, offering a bit of everything to satisfy your many musical personalities.
After months of teasing, Ari Lennox has finally released her long-awaited album, “Vacancy.” This 15-track album kicks off with “Mobbin in DC,” a smooth melody that perfectly ushers in her latest masterpiece. “Vacancy” goes easy on features, including only a single appearance from reggae star Buju Banton on track 13, “Company.” This new era finds Ari musically refreshed after parting ways with Dreamville in April 2025, following her frustration with how her music was being handled. Just hours after its release, Ari was met with waves of praise online from day-one fans and new supporters alike.
After initially teasing a snippet back in November, Flo Milli has officially unveiled her new single, “Flo Jackson.” The rapper floats effortlessly over the pounding beat and even hinted at a music video for the banger. It remains to be seen if Flo Milli is preparing a full album, though with “Flo Jackson,” she is reminding her loyal followers that motherhood has not slowed her down in the slightest.
42 Dugg surprised his fans with his brand-new mixtape, “Part 3.” This fresh collection of ten tracks follows his 2024 album, “4eva Us Neva Them,” which did not achieve the same commercial success as his 2021 mixtape, “Free Dem Boyz.” For fans, “Part 3” allows for a sigh of relief, as 42 previously hinted at retiring from rap altogether. With features from Lil Baby, Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, EST Gee, G Herbo, Skilla Baby, and Doughboy Clay, it’s evident that the Detroit star still has his hat in the ring, with a flow that continues to be widely appreciated.
