Babyfxce E Is Up Next
“Blackout” and more songs that made it through the weekend.

This weekend’s release slate was sparse. Understandable, as it’s the time of the year when artists know everyone’s brain is already halfway checked out, balancing holiday parties and travel plans. But light doesn’t mean dull. A few drops cut through the end-of-year noise and held our attention long enough to earn a replay (or five). Here are the tracks still hitting on Monday, Dec. 22.
EsDeeKid ft. Timothée Chalamet, “4 Raws (Remix)”
Producer: Wraith9
All the rumors can die down now. EsDeeKid is not Timothée Chalamet, and now they’ve got the song to prove it. The two linked up on the remix to EsDeeKid’s breakout “4 Raws." Love or hate Chalamet’s verse, you’re not ignoring it. Over the woozy, bass-loaded beat, he flexes about fame, grind, and, of course, his new movie Marty Supreme. If you know anything about his digital footprint, none of this comes as a shock. He’s somewhat earnest, very chaotic, and somehow very magnetic in the less than a minute and a half. Whether you’re laughing, impressed, confused, or all three at once, you have to be honest and admit you’ve already run it back.
Robyn, “Dopamine (Marlon Hoffstadt Remix)”
Producer: Robyn + Klas Åhlund
Robyn’s return after more than half a decade away already felt like a jolt to the system, and now “Dopamine” gets the treatment every great dance track deserves: a remix built to keep the night alive. Marlon Hoffstadt accelerates the pulse of the song, while Robyn’s voice stays luminous, floating above a beat that feels electric, cathartic, and club-bound.
Girlfriend, “Deep”
Producer: Malik Ninety Five + Gray Toomey + Ctag
Girlfriend might have chosen the least searchable stage name in history, but “Deep” makes a strong case that none of that will matter. The track is silky, unhurried, and an R&B jam to the max. Her voice is soft, floating over production that feels warm enough to fall into. Lyrically, she leans into longing and vulnerability, trying to bridge the space between craving closeness, and protecting yourself. “Deep” doesn’t try to reinvent the genre, but it’s so smooth that it doesn’t need to.
Babyfxce E, “Blackout”
Producer: 2Side + Kilo
Babyfxce E feels like he’s entering that thrilling hinge moment in a rapper’s career when they’re in the right place, right time, right heat. After a breakout year that included a buzzy mixtape and the “PTP” remix with Monaleo, undeniably one of 2025’s rap highlights, he’s now shifting into album mode. His debut, Da Realest, is slated for February, and the first taste of it, “Blackout,” doubles down on everything that makes E interesting. The beat is slick and restless, but E glides across it like it’s built for him alone, hitting familiar themes along the way, like flexing, money, women, and more. Yet it never sounds recycled. There’s so much humor tucked between the bars and the effortless cool in the pockets he finds.
EST Gee, “Supreme Sanders”
Producer: Foreverolling + Dbackinyahead
Rappers comparing themselves to athletes? Yeah, we are so back. EST Gee taps into one of rap’s favorite traditions and makes it feel sharp again on “Supreme Sanders.” Over the type gritty beat he’s become known for, he channels the aura of golden boy Shedeur Sanders (“Brown Supreme Vanson, I feel like Shedeur Sanders / Wrist AP 200 Gs, I can’t get cancelled”). The track hits hard without forcing any kind of impact. Gee’s flow is controlled; he sounds unbothered and locked in, riding the production like someone who knows he doesn’t need to do too much to leave a mark.
Baby Osamaa, “I Gotta Go”
Producer: Sxintvincent + Divine
Probably my favorite pick of the weekend: Baby Osamaa’s “I Gotta Go." The track drifts in like smoke, sounding atmospheric, spacey, and full of SoundCloud DNA. There’s a looseness to the flow, a sense that she’s following her own gravity rather than chasing structure, and it works. If Osamason or Netspend are already in your rotation, Baby Osamaa belongs there, too.
