Tkay Maidza - "PB Jam"

Demae feat. Ego Ella Mae - "Stuck in a Daze"

London singer Demae links with Ego Ella Mae on a sleek standalone, trading melodies over murky chords and staggered drums.

Yellow Days - "Getting Closer"

If you ever wondered what the "Collard Greens" shuffle would sound like under a synth-funk anthem, a sun-crushed new single from Yellow Days' provides precisely that insight. The video follows the producer through a range of neon and 8-bit backdrops, slipping in and out of iconic album covers from Bobby Caldwell, Roy Ayers, and other innovators of the form.

Anderson .Paak feat. Noname, J.I.D. and Jay Rock - "Lockdown" Remix

Griselda's Conway The Machine announces his upcoming album, King to a GOD, with an icy new single, featuring a steel-toed verse from the mighty Method Man.

Aminé - "Burden"

Aminé's back like he never left on his sophomore album, Limbo. Sitting atop of the project, "Burden" is a soulful and slow-churning reintroduction to the one-lining Portland rapper.

Jamila Woods - "SULA (Paperback)"

Released on the one-year anniversary of Toni Morrison's death, Chicago's Jamila Woods returns with another heavenly homage to a pioneering Black woman in the arts.
