5 Atlanta Releases You Should Have on Your Radar This Week.

Atlanta’s music scene never really slows down.

Every week, there is another release, another collaboration, another artist building momentum and another reason to pay attention to what is happening in the city. This week’s roundup includes a mix of established names, artists stepping into new eras and records that deserve a little more attention.

Here are five Atlanta-connected releases you should have on your radar this week.

Johnny Venus — “SARAHTONIN” feat. INK & Alissia

Johnny Venus continues stepping further into his solo era with “SARAHTONIN,” featuring INK and Alissia.

Known as one-half of EARTHGANG, Johnny Venus has always brought a left-of-center approach to music, and this release gives listeners another look at what his solo direction can become. The record leans into melody, emotion and atmosphere while still keeping the creativity people already associate with him.

It feels less like a random side release and more like the beginning of a more defined solo chapter.

EARTHGANG — “Cool Me Down”

EARTHGANG also returned this week with “Cool Me Down.”

The Atlanta duo has built a career around refusing to stay inside one sound, consistently moving between hip-hop, soul, funk and more experimental territory. “Cool Me Down” continues that approach while giving fans another record to add to their current run.

For artists watching from the outside, EARTHGANG remains a good example of what can happen when you build a recognizable identity without forcing yourself into one lane.

Landstrip Chip feat. Pusha T — “Sin For Me”

Landstrip Chip linked with Pusha T for “Sin For Me,” giving the Atlanta artist one of the more interesting collaborations of the week.

Landstrip Chip has always had a melodic approach that fits comfortably between rap and R&B, and pairing that with Pusha T’s sharper delivery gives the record a strong contrast. The collaboration also puts Chip in front of listeners who may already know the name but have not fully tapped into his catalog yet.

Sometimes the right feature is not just about adding a bigger name to a record. It is about creating another entry point for discovery.

PLUTO — “Hella trim”

PLUTO keeps the momentum going with “Hella trim.”

Her name has continued to show up across Atlanta music conversations, collaborations and discovery lists, and consistent releases are helping turn that attention into familiarity. That matters because artists rarely build real momentum from one isolated record.

“Hella trim” gives listeners another reason to check back in and keeps PLUTO’s name active while she continues building.

Big Moochie Grape & Zaytoven — GRAPETOVEN

Big Moochie Grape and Zaytoven teamed up for the full-length project GRAPETOVEN, giving this week’s roundup something bigger than another single.

Zaytoven’s connection to Atlanta runs deep, and his production has helped shape the city’s trap sound for years. Pairing that with Big Moochie Grape’s Memphis energy makes the project an interesting regional crossover.

The project gives listeners a full body of work to sit with instead of one record, and it is another reminder that producer-artist collaborations can still create some of the strongest projects when the chemistry makes sense.

The Bigger Picture

What makes this week interesting is that the releases are not all coming from the same place.

You have a solo rollout from Johnny Venus, a new EARTHGANG record, a Landstrip Chip collaboration with Pusha T, PLUTO continuing to build momentum and a full project connecting Big Moochie Grape with Zaytoven.

That is what makes Atlanta worth watching.

The city is never just one sound, one artist or one level of the industry. There is always something happening at every stage — from emerging artists building their first real audience to established names experimenting with what comes next.
