I, as a music enthusiast and someone who grew up listening to hip-hop legends like The Lox, cannot contain my excitement for midwxst’s latest installment in his BACK IN ACTION mixtape series. Having been a longtime fan of the car culture and street racing scene myself, this project is an ode to the unwavering spirit of pushing forward, just like a foot on the gas. With its perfect blend of loud 808s and confident lyrics, I’m transported back to my childhood obsession with cars and video games.
At the end of the musical week, TopMob has collected the finest releases for this edition of Best New Tracks.
As a gamer, I’m excited to share my weekly playlist highlights in first person! This week’s tunes are headlined by Childish Gambino, Denzel Curry, and Lil Yachty. They dropped the albums “Bando Stone & The New World” and “King of the Mischievous South Vol. 2,” along with the hot single “Let’s Get On Dey Ass.”

midwxst – BACK IN ACTION 4.0
Midwxst released the fourth edition of his “BACK IN ACTION” mixtape series, collaborating with Don Kenji and DC The Don. In a statement, he shared, “This project is a harmonious blend of booming 808s and self-assured rhymes, saluting the automobile culture and street racing community.” Growing up, Midwxst was deeply fascinated by cars – from constructing them on Roblox to immersing himself in The Need for Speed video games until dawn. His unyielding passion for vehicles fueled his artistic endeavors for this project. Just like the essence of racing – never giving up and constantly pushing forward – “BACK IN ACTION 4.0” will undoubtedly leave you craving to hit the gas pedal and keep going, an experience I aim to continue providing.

Liam Benzvi x Blood Orange – “Other Guys”
Liam Benzvi teams up with Blood Orange for his latest single “Other Guys.” He unveils that this track is the completed version of a demo from 2016. According to him, “It’s clear what the song represents – self-discovery, socializing, and exploring desires. The title ‘Six Degrees I’m On You’ reflects how interconnected the world feels at times. Dev is one of my close friends, and I knew our voices blended well. His addition to the track added the ideal texture, and I couldn’t be happier with the final product. Producing it together between New York and LA with Nightfeelings, Middle Part, and Frank Corr was both rewarding and enjoyable.”
