Bump or Dump 48

Strong Bump – A hit. I really like it. Rewind worthy

Weak Bump – It’s listenable. Something You have to be in the mood to listen to. Not Bad

Weak Dump – Don’t really like it. Might like parts of it but not the whole composition. Could grow on you. Underwhelming

Strong Dump – Get rid of it. Absolutely don’t like it. Garbage. Hate It

Simple rules: 

As we do every week, I'll give you the Top-9 new singles officially sent to Urban-format radio stations, that are either beginning to chart right now or expected to chart soon. In exchange, you can have & listen to them, and personally comment below, stating if you would *Bump It* or *Dump It* for each record and why... [Strong Bump, Weak Bump, Weak Dump, or Strong Dump] 

"KNOW NO BETTER" 
(Major Lazer f/ Travis Scott, Quavo, & Camila Cabella),
Currently #34 on Pop formats;
+# 43 on Rhythmic/Club formats;
via Mad Decent/Warner Bros. [1560 + 615 Daily US Spins]. -  This is kinda tricky. There are parts I like and parts I hate. The parts don’t fit well together. The ED sound is not bad. The tone and pace fit. But the lyrics sound like they should be over something else. I can def see it in certain clubs and definitely on pop airwaves. Even with Travis Scott and Quavo on the track, I’m having a hard time imagining this crossing over to urban formats and clubs.  – Weak Dump 

"LOVE U BETTER" (Ty Dolla $ign f/ Lil Wayne & The-Dream),
Currently #40 on Urban formats;
+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 8/1/17;
via Atlantic [626 Daily US Spins]. -  I can definitely hear this pumping out of a system driving down the road, at a bbq, or just as the warm up section of the night is finished at the club. I'd be shocked if it became a smash, but I could see it getting lots of burns and being around for a while. It's easy to sing along to and can be easily mixed or transitioned to and out of. It has a great summer sound but it's not distinctively summer so it may stick around into the fall.  – Weak Bump

"BANK ACCOUNT" (21 Savage),
Currently #44 on Urban formats;
+ Shipped to Rhythmic/Club formats 8/8/17;
via Slaughter Gang/Epic [562 Daily US Spins]. – The production is good, I can see a better rapper making a smash freestyle over it. The lyric quality is terrible.  Because it’s easy to follow and the has some sing along qualities. I can see it being a hit in the club. It’s a good song to turn up to, but it has too much of a hard edge underground sound to completely take over radio or crossover. It could be around for awhile however. Weak Bump

"SO EXCITED" (Fat Joe ft/ Dre),
Currently #48 on Urban formats;
via Terror Squad/RNG/Empire Dist. [482 Daily US Spins]. – Heavy Bass and familiar sample. Extremely mixable. Should play well in the club. You can turn up to it, and mix it in with other trap. It’s a pretty versatile record, the radio should get behind it. Weak Bump

"I DON'T KNOW" (Vivian Green),
Currently #27 on Adult Contemp. formats;
via Make Noise/Caroline Dist. [235 Daily US Spins]. – Starts off with a familiar sample and picks up quick. It's good to hear Vivian Green back, and older heads will definitely be excited that she hasn’t missed a beat. It’s kind of up tempo and has a familiar sound, so there’s a potential for some crossover, this could easily play on the morning drive, mid day, primetime and afternoon drive segments. This has great crossover potential. It has some great club potential also. Keep your eye on this one. Strong Bump

"GET YOU" (Daniel Caesar f/ Kali Uchis),
Currently #33 on Adult Contemp. formats;
via ICM Partners/danielcarsar.com [173 Daily US Spins]. – Nice full smooth sound. Also, has plenty of potential. Could see this not only on quiet storm mixes and late night love, but definitely morning drive, mid day, primetime and afternoon drive segments. This has great crossover potential. Basically, if the station plays Miguel they should have no problem playing this. I could see it in some clubs. I look forward to more from Daniel Caesar – Strong Bump

"GAMBLE" (Rich Homie Quan),
Shipped to Urban formats 7/27/17;
via Motown/Capitol [154 Daily US Spins]. – The production is good, and the sound is full. It's kind of catchy. Kind of Bass heavy. I can definitely see it doing well in the club, for some reason I’m not sure about the radio. – Weak Bump

"ON & ON" 
(Lenny Grant [aka Uncle Murda] f/ 50 Cent & Jeremih),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 8/05/17;
via G-Unit/Caroline Dist. [108 Daily US Spins]. – Good use of the sample, good production. Can’t imagine a clean version of the song honestly. The song really doesn’t work for Uncle Murda style, but 50 and Jeremih work together very well. Based on whats on the radio, I can’t really see a large spot for it. It also has a very summer sound and with summer coming to a close, not sure if this is good timing.  I can see it in the clubs early in the night. But I can see it in a show or movies party scene so their might be hope for life after radio for it. – Weak Bump

"PERFECT" (Dave East ft/ Chris Brown),
Shipped to Urban formats;
+ Rhythmic/Club formats 8/1/17;
via Mass Appeal/Def Jam. -  Sounds like a trap song. So it's mixable. I can see it getting some club play and a few radio spins, but it does nothing to set itself apart from everything else out. It has no distinct features – Weak Bump
