As the second week of May comes to an end and we start to ease back for the weekend it is once again that exciting time for new music releases and another episode of release round up where we talk about our top 5 projects released during the week. This week saw a number of hot releases from a wide range of talented artists but for the Nefarious Supply staff our top 5 favorite projects of the week come from Deante Hitchcock, Future, Che Ecru, Odunsi (The Engine), and RIMON.
BETTER - Deanté Hitchcock
Starting off at our favorite project of the week is Atlanta based artist Deanté Hitchcock who released his debut studio album “BETTER”. A talented rapper who knows what he is doing in the studio Deante Hitchcock’s new album includes guest appearances from J.I.D, 6LACK, Young Nudy, Miguel, and much more all of who fit in with the sound, and theme of the entire project. And while lyrical rap may not be what is popular on the market right now even casual listeners won’t be disappointed because of how relatable the project is. A hidden gem in Atlanta, Deante's musical talent and lyricism shines through his work and with the release of “BETTER” he has not only raised the bar for himself but moves the bar even higher in terms of what we can now expect from him and how his peers will respond.
Best Songs:
I Remember Attitude (feat. Young Nudy)
Flashbacks (feat. Miguel & St. Beauty)
Growing Up/Mother God
High Off Life - Future
Honestly what is there to say about Future, you may not be proud of yourself for listening to him but what doesn’t mean King Pluto himself makes bad music. Announcing the newest project without warning “High Off Life” comes right after his last album “The WIZRD”, and features some heavy names including; Travis Scott, NBA Young Boy, Young Thug, Lil Uzi Vert, Drake, Meek Mill and Doe Boy. The entire project from front to back is peak Future and while his name does carry controversy that lowkey what makes the album enjoyable.

Prejection - Che Ecru
Okay so before you yell at us and say this project isn’t really newit is the first time that Che Ecru has packaged the songs together as a project and put them on Apple Music so to us and Apple Music it’s new. Che Ecru's previous work include a collection of top notch singles on Soundcloud, as well as “Fan Out of Rucks”, “Ghost Need Love 2”, “Pain Pack” and his most recent album “Still Single”. Do you self a favor even if you haven't heard his previous work make sure you listen to “Prejection” with only one guest apperance from Carrie. This newest body of is the perfect place to experience his dynamic vocal range as well as his skill on the production end of things.

EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IS TRUE - Odunsi (The Engine)
An artist who has just popped up on our radar, Nigeria based Odunsi (The Engine) is so underrated it is almost criminal. After listening to his previous work which includes his debut project “Time of Our Lives”, and “rare”. His newest album “EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IS TRUE” stays on course with the quality of work that he has become synonymous for. Featuring guest appearances from Maison2500, DETO BLACK, and Gigi Atlantis “EVERYTHING YOU HEARD IS TRUE” has Odunsi gliding smoothly between alt-pop, funk, hip-hop, and trapsoul.
