Another weekend is heere which means another week of new music hitting streaming services as artists add bodies of work to their discographies in hopes of providing good music to their fans and grabbing more fans in the process. This past week was a wash with a ton of hot new releases and it was a nice way to start the first weekend of May. While we can’t cover all of the new releases we wanted to show case some of our favorite albums that have dropped this past Friday, as well as start weekly release roundup playlist to keep you guys up to date with the best new music out.
Kehlani - It Was All Good Until It Wasn’t
Taking the number one slot for the week Kehlani’s newest album is one our favirote releases this week and takes our number one spot for best body of work released this past friday. With a somehwat shaky personal history over the past year one is thing is clear. Kehlani has not let that sway her focus and her ability to make good quality on her new album. Pouring her soul out into her work “It Was All Good Until It Wasn’t” Kehlani is more than authentic and honest not only with her self but with her fans. Sharing a side a of her that is personal. The best thing about this album is that everything works the production flows easily from beginning to end, and the features which include; Tory Lanez, Jhene Aiko, Masego, Lucky Daye, and James Blake all fit in like perfect puzzle pieces to make a body of work that fits in perfectly with Kehlani’s overall artistry.
Nav - Good Intentions
One thing is clear about Nav as much hate as he gets that will not stop him from making decent quality music, and while he may not be the favirote of hip hop heads, Nav’s ability to put out an album and gather the biggest names in the Hip - Hop industry as features should be evidence enough to show he knows that he’s doing. The Canadian rapper-producer keeps him self constantly busy and his work ethic shows throgh on the 15 track album which features production from the brown boy him self, Amir “Cash” Esmailian, and The Weekend. And features guest appercanes from Young Thug, Future, Gunna, Travis Scott, Lil Uzi Vert, Pop Smoke, Don Toliver, and Lil Durk. He stay’s consistent to his sound but that’s what makes the project good, at this point I think fans know what to expect from him, which is a high octance project with some of their favirote names in the industry.
Lil Durk - Just Cause Y’all Waited 2
Lil Durk, Durkio, or whatever name you call him is still one of Chicao’s finest rappers and drill music is the style of hip hop that he has down to the tee. Brining in heavy hitters with his newest project including Lil Baby, Polo G, Gunna, and G Herbo, Durk carries each song effortlesly and showing that no matter how much his name gets entagled with legal trouble he is still focused on his music and his fans are not going to suffer in the process.
Young Thug & Chris Brown - Slime & B
Okay so while no one really asked for a Young Thug and Chris Brown collab project, I gotta say this mix tape is lowkey amazing. This project lowkey flew under everyone’s radar but that does not mean its not worth taking some time to listen to. The project in its self gives off more R&B vibes but both artists are able to do what they do best delivering the best of both their sounds together while working featuring a range of talent including; Major 9, Gunna, Lil Duke, Too $hort, E-40, and Hoody Baby. Slime & B is extremely well put together and is nothing but hits from beginning to end.
