crank

Refers to songs and music, even if just a beat/rhythm or instrumental. Also could refer to a certain part of a song that you're really feeling.

2) To continually put out songs or albums that you think crank. Refers to the musicians/artists.

3) To put on lively, engaging performances. Also refers to musicians/artists.
1) Chillin' with a few friends and a song you're really feeling comes on:

"Yo, that joint CRANK!" (You might start dancing or just moving to the beat some kinda way if you feel like it).

2) "You heard that new B joint? Man, she CRANK!"

3) Person 1: "Hey, you going to that show?"
Person 2: "YEAH, man! I've seen them in concert before and they CRANK!"
