Happy Friday, good people. Release Day's upon us and the spoils are stellar.
Leading the album charge, Offset's long-delayed solo debut has finally arrived, but new pieces from Benny Sings, IMDDB, and Spelling should scratch any remaining itch for left-leaning Migos-less long-plays. And for the boom-bap brigade, a 9th Wonder-produced Smif-N-Wessun project packs a mountain of vintage soul flips and ace wordplay into a hard-hitting 43 minutes.
LISTEN: Spiritual Funk and High-Altitude Jazz to Calm a Bewildered Mind
The bulk of the week's bag, however, arrived by way of lush loosies, collaborative one-offs, and fiery campaign-starters for long-anticipated projects. Madlib and Freddie Gibbs hit the ground running with a menacing introduction to their upcoming Piñata sequel. Doja Cat and Rico Nasty joined forces on an early contender for "Trap Anthem of The Year." Sophie Faith joined lophile for a buzzing full-burn r&b spectacle. Kehlani tapped Dom Kennedy as purveyor of romance raps on a selection from her short and sweet While We Wait mixtape. Tierra Whack reached beyond the one-minute mark on an elastic exposition. And that's just half the script.
LISTEN: Disciples of Dilla: Modern Classics Haunted by The Late Production Pioneer
