The 9th Floor returns with another bomb playlist (available on Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal) to round out the final days of this Cinderella Story Autumn. We have many reasons to celebrate in these coming months, whether it's holidays with family and friends, the demise of America's worst president, or 9th Floor founder Karlo Haddad's birthday. This playlist includes the most recent releases from our artists Slake Dransky and Molly Pop, with more new music on the horizon. Additionally, check out some 9th Floor favorites, legends' return, and the most iconic covers of the decade.
Peep the new list below. We picked a few gems from the 9th Floor Playlist to help you celebrate the end of an era, and hopefully, the beginning of the end of this pandemic.
Let us take you to the 9th Floor, where you can find great music for every occasion.
“TenThirtyTwenty” - Slake Dransky, AceChristo
Check out more on Slake Dransky's newest release here.
"Back to the Streets (ft. Jhené Aiko)" - Saweetie
The seductively talented Ms. Diamonte Harper of California is always heavily featured on our playlists. Constantly providing us with tracks that pay homage to hip-hop classics like "Tap In" and "My Type," but this new track features an unusually pleasant laid-back delivery. Songbird Jhené Aiko taps in and drops a few fairy-like bars giving us a full bop for the California freeways.
"Give Me That Molly Pop" - Molly Pop
Check out more about Molly Pop's newest release here.
"Hate The Way (ft. blackbear)" - G-Eazy
We love the "James Dean of Hip Hop" at the 9th Floor. G-Eazy is an artist frequently dropping the freshest collaborations, and his latest with fellow tatted bad-boy blackbear delivers everything we wanted. This single will have to hold us over until his new album, These Things Happen, finally hits the stream-waves. The Kat Webber directed music video features Big Gerald's usual "we grungy, but sexy" melancholic vibe.
"Real Groove" - Kylie Minogue
2020 has blessed us with very few moments of pure happiness, and the presence of the legendary Kylie Minogue is one of them. Popping in and out of the game for decades, she's back with her fifteenth studio album DISCO, which reminds all of us exactly who she is and where she has been. Let yourself become a slave to the music because the nostalgia and timeless beauty are all there.
"motive (with Doja Cat)" - Ariana Grande
Where were you when Positions dropped? Ariana's latest single barely had 15 seconds of fame until our favorite pop princess bestowed an entire album on her loyal subjects. We couldn't resist featuring a few songs on this month's playlist because it's Ariana. Can you blame us? "Motive (with Doja Cat)" serves as a spiritual successor to the upbeat vibes of Say So, and what better duo to bring us this joyous occasion?
"Zombie (Live)" - Miley Cyrus
We rarely include a live performance on the playlist, but we had to give props to one of our favorites, Miley Cyrus. Fans of every stage of her career, from Disney darling to the scandalous songstress, this new rocker phase is it for us. Miley's dropped a few delicious covers, and The Cranberries' Zombie has to be one of our favorites. Some songs are just meant to be covered by another unique voice, which is the one 100 percent.
"Chlorine" - BIIANCO
Hypnotizing. We remember our first experience seeing BIIANCO perform with the band Smoke Season. It was a moment filled with beautiful visuals and sexual innuendo, and now we're all about Gabby Bianco's solo project. Staying true to all the talent she presented in previous projects, "Chlorine" is one of the songs we're vibing out to. Shout out to one of our closest collaborators izzi kit, an ol' BIIANCO college buddy, for putting us onto her years ago. The face-melting music video was directed and shot by BIIANCO and Todd MacDonald.
“Darkest Hour” - Sevdaliza
Bone-chilling melodies and a powerful message. Iranian artist Sevdaliza is a perfect addition to the 9th Floor playlists. From her latest album Shabrang, we selected "Darkest Hour," but let this be the beginning of your obsession into a world of self-discovery and self-empowerment led by her talented vocals and the subtle, alternative electronic and avant-garde instrumentation of her production. If you require some trippy visuals to join you on the journey, check out her YouTube channel.
"Baby Baby" - Sports
Now, these are the Sports we can really get into at the 9th Floor. Electro-pop duo Cale Chronister & Christian Theriot's latest single "Baby Baby" is a laid-back groove that can take your mind off all the bullsh*t and allow you to enjoy the high-life. There's always an occasion in our home base of Los Angeles for an airy eclectic jam. Even better, check out the beautifully isolating music video directed by Mortis Studio and shot by Taylor Clemons.
"Lonely" - Maluma, Jennifer Lopez
See what we said about the 2nd half of 2020's best collaborations on last month's playlist here.
"Little Something" - Melody Gardot, Sting
American jazz singer Melody Gardot partners with English legend singer/songwriter and sometimes actor Sting for a "Little Something" that gives us a lot of good. The two unique voices' union moves around the track like a forbidden sensual dance, creating the essential vibe for a late night of pleasure and seduction.
“QueLoQue (ft. Paloma Mami)” - Major Lazer
We're Major Lazer day ones at the 9th Floor, so it's about time we take a moment to speak to the greatness. On their fourth album, Music is The Weapon, Jamaican-American election dance trio of producer Diplo and DJs Walshy Fire and Ape Drums travel all over the world to give us the unique sounds of different cultures. This particular track features rising artist Chilean-American Paloma Mami blending together her Latin and New York flavors.
“Do It Like Me” - Bhad Bhabie
If you're like us, we were just waiting for this little internet personality to disappear into hip-hop obscurity, but it's not going to happen. Bhad Bhabie, real name Danielle Bregoli, is here to play with the big dogs being the youngest female hip-hop artist to appear on the Billboard Hot 100. To be honest, every song she's dropped so far is a bopper, and we'll catch her outside as long as there is a microphone and stage so she can turn it up.
"Thong Song" - Amber Mark
The 23-year-old Europe and Asia raised Amber Mark is talented beyond her years, and she proves that with this cover of the 1999 Sisqo hit, "Thong Song." Mark writes and produces all her own tracks, and those skills are presented first-hand on this track, the final piece of her COVERED-19 series. In the YouTube series, she takes classic hits and covers them in her tropical rhythm and bluesy sound.
"Boy Vs. World" - Jason LoCricchio
Don't let that little angelic face fool you. Slake Dransky's main homie Jason LoCricchio goes hard, as seen on this collaboration from Slake's 2018 self-titled mixtape. But, the kid not only spits bars, but he sang, y'all. Find out for yourself on his latest single, "Boy Vs. World," an anthem to boyhood's growing pains.
"Drinks" - Cyn
Cyn is the new bad girl on the block, all thanks to Katy Perry's discovery. With a name that is literally a play on the word "sin," this nostalgic singer plays with your expectations and delivers everything you weren't expecting and always wanted. One of her latest singles makes it onto our playlist because we love female voices with dark stories to tell at the 9th Floor.
