HeadHuncho Amir: ‘Certified’ Momentum

Dallas rapper HeadHuncho Amir is keeping his buzz alive with the release of his new single, “Certified.” Known for his motivational and street-rooted delivery, Amir has been building a strong regional following with tracks like “MOTIVATE THE CITY” and “YOU THE BIGGEST.” This latest single, listed among his 2026 releases on Apple Music, also comes with an official music video, giving fans a visual to go along with the infectious sound.

6LACK’s Soulful Return: ‘Love Is The New Gangsta’

On the R&B front, Atlanta’s own 6LACK is back with his fourth studio album, “Love Is The New Gangsta.” This marks his first full-length project since “Since I Have A Lover” in 2023. The 15-track album, released via LVRN and Interscope, is described as a deeply personal and soul-baring exploration of love, fatherhood, mental health, and personal growth. 6LACK uses this project to reflect on past mistakes and arrive at a powerful message: love is the new gangster.

The album is preceded by singles like “Bird Flu,” “Sunday Again,” and “Ashin’ The Blunt,” which have already set the stage for this introspective body of work. Fans can expect a raw and honest listen as 6LACK navigates his journey.

Veeze’s Surprise Mixtape: ‘Y’all Won’

Detroit rapper Veeze has surprised fans by dropping “Y’all Won,” an 11-song, 30-minute mixtape. This release comes as listeners eagerly await his long-teased sophomore album, “Worst Tape.” Pitchfork reports that Veeze also dropped a video for the track “Wrong Place, Wrong Time,” featuring notable cameos from Playboi Carti and Lil Baby, adding extra hype to the project.
