The Round-Up: Best Songs of The Week - Prince, Frank Ocean, ROSALÍA and More [Playlist]

This week's haul features another sneak drop from Frank, a previously unreleased gem from the purple vault, and a grip of top-tier bars.

Happy Friday, good people. Release Day's upon us and there's a bag of burners, bops, and bars to claim. So let's get right to it.

This week's list of requisite long-plays includes Wiki's gorgeously gritty sophomore album, OOFIE,Vegyn's twisted and trap-happy, Only Diamonds CutDiamonds, Clams Casino's shrewd and searching, Moon Trip Radio, and Starchild & The New Romantic's potent and pastel-plastered, VHS 1138.

Singles did the heavy-lifting, though. Frank Ocean lead the week with another sneak drop. The Prince Estate pried a Triple Threat era gem from the vault ahead of an upcoming deluxe edition of 1999. Illingsworth returned with a heavy dose of Detroit swing and spirituality. Griselda's Westside Gunn, Conway, and Benny The Butcher are an unholy trinity on their latest link-up. And that's just half the script.
