New Music Friday (July 18, 2025): Sadboi Pop, Gospel Bangers & A Bass Demon You Didn’t See Coming

Is it sadboi pop? Gospel with a side of Afrobeat? A Wu-Tang legend in designer threads? This New Music Friday (July 18, 2025) roundup has it all—and probably one track that'll hijack your summer playlist.

Fridays are sacred. They're for exhaling the stress of the week, buying drinks you probably don’t need, and blasting new music like you’re starring in your own Netflix teen drama. And this New Music Friday? It DELIVERS—whether you're into heartstring-tugging pop, bass-heavy hip-hop, or something spiritually fly with Afrobeat vibes.


Here’s a round-up of the hottest, most stream-worthy releases in pop and hip-hop on July 18, 2025, with a few gems that might just end up on your repeat playlist for the rest of the summer.


POP: Feels, Fresh Faces & Fitness Icons

Alex Warren – You’ll Be Alright, Kid (Album)

TikTok’s golden retriever boy has grown up, and he’s wearing his emotions on his sleeves—yes, both sleeves. You’ll Be Alright, Kid is a cinematic pop album soaked in melodrama, self-help mantras, and full-blown redemption arc energy. If you like your pop emotionally damaged but ultimately optimistic, this album is your new therapy session (without the co-pay).



Calloway – “6 Pack” (Single)

Brothers Reggie and Vincent Calloway return with an R&B/pop track that sounds like it was custom-made for gym playlists and vitamin ads. It's a banger. It’s also motivational enough to make you cancel your Postmates order and maybe, just maybe, do a sit-up.



Leigh-Anne – New Single

The former Little Mix powerhouse steps further into her solo glow-up era. While the song title was under wraps longer than a Marvel post-credits scene, Been A Minute early reactions called it a sleek summer bop with a touch of island spice.



HIP-HOP: Bars, Basslines & Big Names

Joyner Lucas – ADHD 2 (Album)

Joyner’s back with a vengeance and verses. The sequel to his breakout 2020 debut is dripping with A-list collabs (T-Pain! Ava Max! Chris Brown!) and rapid-fire introspection. ADHD 2 plays like a therapy session and a festival set—raw emotion meets festival energy.



Che – Rest in Bass (Album)

The Atlanta scene’s most unapologetic sonic rebel, Che, drops a grimy, gnarled bass-blaster of an album. Lead single “Hellraiser” (feat. OsamaSon) sounds like if Travis Scott did a haunted house collab with Skrillex.



Raekwon – The Emperor’s New Clothes (Album)

Wu-Tang legend Raekwon proves you can teach an old Don new tricks. His latest is elegant, lyrical, and yes, just a little bit smug (but in that legendary way). Pure grown-man hip-hop—tailored suits and all.



Ty Dolla $ign – Tycoon (Album)

The king of hooks and Hennessy-fueled slow jams drops a project that oozes R&B-luxury crossover vibes. This is music for yacht parties you’ll never be invited to.



Gospel-Rap Fusion: Yes, It's a Thing. Yes, It's Fire.

Vic Lucas – “Holy Ghost” ft. Lady Audri

Vic fuses international Afrobeat rhythms with gospel vocals and hip-hop flair. It’s inspirational, global, and a lot more fun than most things labeled "clean."



Kevi Morse – “Honest Cvlture” ft. STIXX



Rhymes in Harmony – “Lift Your Name”



Christian rap? Yes, but with swag. Think Lecrae vibes, but your youth pastor has a better barber.
