The DX Digest for Wednesday (April 26) finds teenage singer-songwriter Khalid’s acoustic versions of “Coaster” and “Angels” in the top slot while Uncle Murda and 50 Cent’s collaborative track, “Statute Of Limitations” sits comfortably in the second slot. The X-Ecutioners’ DJ Boogie Blind and his 5 Minutes of Funk routine, Tuxedo’s “Thank You” and Nef The Pharaoh’s “Bling Blaow” complete the Top 5. Further down, Yellow Claw recruits Juicy J and Lil Debbie for “City On Lockdown,” IAMSU! reflects on love, Locksmith questions his “Sanity,” and T-Pain flexes his confidence on “See Me Comin.” For good measure, we’ve also thrown in some new material from Max Gertler and The Combine.
Khalid – “Coaster” & “Angels”
El Paso, Texas native Khalid is back with a double dose of visuals for the acoustic versions of “Coaster” and “Angels.” The teen R&B crooner was performing music for the new VEVO series, Stripped, and pulled most of his material from his recent album, American Teen. Dressed in a high school letterman jacket, he sails through both tracks with ease. Watch both videos above.

UnclE Murda f. 50 Cent – “Statue Of Limitations”
After dropping “Gang Gang” with Maino and “Mask Off” during an episode of LA Leakers, Uncle Murda makes a swift return with “Statute Of Limitations” featuring 50 Cent. The song comes ahead of The Lenny Grant Story, which is supposedly dropping later this year. Don’t make them hit you in that Waffle House (or at 50’s show).
Dj Boogie Blind – “5 minutes of funk”
As a member of The X-Ecutioners turntablist crew, DJ Boogie Blind is constantly flexing his impeccable scratching skills whenever he gets a chance. The New York-based DJ stopped by Hot 97 for an episode of Funkmaster Flex’s 5 Minutes of Funk series, where he put on a flawless show for nearly 15 minutes.
