The Listening: GELO, Rema, Roc Marciano and More

February 8, 2025 1

The beginning of February has a handful of new music releases, especially with new songs.

DJ Premier and Roc Marciano have come together for “Armani Section,” a track that serves as a nice sample of what’s to come with a collab EP the duo has planned for later this year.

There’s also the “Tweaker (Remix),” which finds Lil Wayne rapping over the viral hit from LiAngelo Ball aka GELO.

On the albums, we’ve got Life Is Beautiful, the collab album between Larry June, The Alchemist and 2 Chainz, that’s sure to have you say, “We need 2 Chainz on more Alchemist beats.”

There’s also Nino Paid’s debut project, Love Me As I Am, and a new EP from Nardo Wick.

Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
