The Listening: New J.I.D, DJ Premier & Roc Marciano Get Cold, Amaarae is a ‘Black Star’ and More

As summer is ending, you can already feel the vibes shift. Late August can make you nostalgic for the end of the season, as you start to look ahead to the fall. But the music is still delivering, even if it’s the soundtrack to the wind down as opposed to the early summer turn up.

This week, JID drops a star-studded God Does Like Ugly, and Bryson Tiller gets you ready for his ambitious double album The Vices. Meanwhile, DJ Premier and Roc Marciano join forces for The Coldest Profession.

Amaarae is proving yet again that she is absolutely a Black Star, with Anderson.Paak and Disclosure giving you the dance anthem for the rest of the year. Gunna drops his latest, with Mozzy giving you a follow-up to one of his best projects.

Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
