Here’s the Funk for what has been the craziest week we’ve ever lived in our life times…

Kanye West – YE [Album]

I’m shocked that KKKanye stuck to his word and dropped his 8th studio album titled YE. With all the other albums he’s been working on I thought he’d push one back, but he’s 2-for-2 so far. Ye vs. The People isn’t on it, but considering he took the photo for the album art minutes before his listening party, you’d be hard pressed to find a single or a proper leak.

Drake – I’m Upset

Upon release, I’m Upset was not received well by the masses (at least by Drake’s standards), it seemed lazy and basic. But after the week Drake has had with Pusha Tea revealing all, this song has grown on me simply for the fact that I know who he’s addressing in this song. “Can’t go 50-50 with no…”

Black Thought – Streams of Thought Vol. 1 [EP]

Black Thought released one of the greatest freestyles of all time right before the new year, and now he gives us the Streams of Thought EP; Making a Murderer being one of the hardest songs off it.

Tekashi 6ix9ine – TATI

6ix9ine is back on his bull-bull starting a beef with Chicago rappers Chief Keef and Lil Reese, who really aren’t to be played with. But if there’s one thing this kid can do well, it’s make a hit and TATI is no exception to that rule.

Mac Miller – Programs

Mac has been quiet for a minute, but he’s back with three new songs for his fans.

The Internet – Come Over

Ahead of their July 20th release of their upcoming album Hive Mind, The Internet give us their first single Come Over and it’s a tuuuune.

J Hus – Big Spang [EP]

EP’s seem to be the wave these days. UK artist J Hus comes through with his three track EP Big Spang.

Quentin Miller – Destiny Freestyle

With the week we’ve had involving Drake, I can see why Quentin would want to release new music to capitalize off some buzz, but I think in order for his career to take off he’s got to distance himself from everything Drake.

Audio Push – Melange [EP]

Audio Push is a California Hip Hop duo containing Oktane and Price. Melange is their latest five song EP, with Craner Ave being a potential hit.

Gorillaz – Humility

From the lastest album THE NOW NOW, the Gorillaz give us the visuals for Humility.

BAKA Not Nice – No Beam

Toronto man BAKA is back with another aggressive banger. No shots for Push though.

Madeintyo – Ned Flanders (Feat. A$AP Ferg)

Banger. Alert. Madeintyo and Ferg team up for this heater.

Fetty Wap – Black & Decker (Feat. Fuzz)

This sounds like a diet 6ix9ine song when it comes to Fetty, but one should give a listen solely for Fuzz, he’s got a good verse.

Zaytoven – Trap Holizay [Album]

We missed this one last week, but with how good Zaytoven’s album is, it had to get a spot on this week’s Funk.

Curren$y – The Marina [EP]

“La musica de Harry Fraud!” Curren$y links up with respected producer Harry Fraud for an eight track EP.

Maroon 5 – Girls Like You (Feat. Cardi B)

Maroon wanna party with Cardi! Girls Like You gets an update? a remix? a retool? with Cardi B. Same song with an added verse from a queen.
