Different moments from ZAYALLCAPS\u2019 new album, Balling Out of Spite<\/em>, have been stuck in my head all morning. On Track 3, the way he coos \u201cBought that Mitsubishi, it\u2019s a Lancer\u201d with a slight stammer; on \u201cPro Clubz,\u201d when his weird enunciation of \u201cauthority\u201d sounds like he\u2019s trying to hold in a burp. \u201cMine!!\u201d is another early favorite. ZAY, who is based in Los Angeles but reps Northern California, floats in on a beat hazy enough to soundtrack a cartoon dream sequence, with a few popping noises in the background that let you know he\u2019s steeped in the Neptunes. His vocals are pitched up a tick, adding a little sweetness to lyrics about a romantic connection on the rocks. When he sing-raps, \u201cI\u2019ma do better, I\u2019ma make this work\/Work!,\u201d the emphatic second \u201cwork!\u201d makes it feel like he\u2019s serious.<\/p>\n

With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace, it\u2019s difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all\u2014no matter how tapped in they are. That\u2019s why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear.<\/em><\/p>\n
