NEW ALBUMS
YG - ‘THE GENTLEMEN'S CLUB’
YG is back, and he’s on one. The Compton rapper is clearly entering a new space as an artist. His new album speaks to growth – while still giving you that West Coast street rap that made him famous.

The R&B singer-songwriter has never been afraid to take musical risks – and other kinds of risks – and she swings for the fences on this new mixtape collaboration with Timbaland.

THE WAR AND TREATY - ‘THE STORY OF MICHAEL AND TANYA’
The husband and wife duo has been one of the most talked-about acts in Americana/country for a while now, and for good reason. Their latest highlights their polished craftsmanship while allowing the pair to push forward.

The Atlanta-based artist blends melodic rap with influences from alternative and throwback grunge rock on her debut. Her aesthetic defies comparison, pairing raw energy with introspective, vulnerable lyrics and genre-bending production.

P.J. MORTON - ‘SATURDAY NIGHT, SUNDAY MORNING’
He’s been one of the most accomplished singer-songwriters in R&B and gospel,both, for quite a while now. But now we get both sides of PJ Morton’s acclaimed career on one project. He melds the secular with the sacred on this highly anticipated release.
