Czarface and MF DOOM - "Break in The Action"

As promised, Esoteric, Inspectah Deck, and 7L's collaborative banner, Czarface, has released a joint project with the late MF DOOM. On this standout from Super What?, the iconic rapper trades bars with the group over a smooth and sedated rhodes groove. Super What? is out today on Silver Age with vinyl copies available to pre-order in two variant covers via Gasdrawls.

Little Simz featuring Cleo Sol - "Woman"

Little Simz appears to be in new album mode. Her latest transmission is a simmering mid-tempo ode to black women with a Neptunes knock.

Isaiah Rashad featuring Duke Duece - "Lay Wit Ya"

After weeks of deciphering who would be the subject of TDE's May 7th drop, the West Coast camp officially revealed the video for Isaiah Rashad's long-awaited comeback single last night at a premiere party in Los Angeles. And it's already a "Song of The Summer" contender.

Sango and Waldo - "Neutral (Interlude)"

Sango and Waldo tease their next collaborative outing with a brief but blistering interlude.

Mara TK - "Te Kete Aronui"

A hauntingly soulful slow-burner off of Mara TK's debut solo album, Bad Meditations, out today via Extra Soul Perception.

Namir Blade and L'Orange - "I Can Change

Namir Blade is full float on a tender ballad from his new collaborative album with L'Orange, Imaginary Everything, out today via Mello Music Group.

Mndsgn - "Medium Rare"

Mndsgn offers another glimpse at his upcoming album for Stones Throw with a gorgeously sophisticated spell of cosmic r&b and heavy reverb.
