It’s been a while since we’ve heard from the psychedelic Pittsburgh experimentalists Black Moth Super Rainbow, but leader Tom Fec’s solo project TOBACCO still appears to be going strong. Last year, TOBACCO released the album Fucked Up Friends 3, the latest installment in a long-running series. Today, TOBACCO has also dropped a new track with […]
Freddie Gibbs – “Too Much” (Feat. Moneybagg Yo)
In recent months, most of the online chatter about Freddie Gibbs has centered on his bitter and slightly troubling feud with fellow rap great Benny The Butcher. That’s a shame. Gibbs and Benny are grown men who have basically the exact same fanbase and who are too good to let that kind of shit overshadow […]
Romeo Santos & Rosalía – “El Pañuelo”
Rosalía and bachata staple Romeo Santos have teamed up on a new collab called “El Pañuelo” — it’s featured on Santos’ just-released album Formula, Vol. 3, which is the third chapter in Santos’ Formula series.

Mary Lattimore – “The Last Roses”

Since then, she’s been on tour in Canada and the US, and she recently played Green Man Festival in Wales and La Route du Rock in France. Today, Lattimore posted on her Instagram that […]
Balming Tiger – “Sexy Nukim” (Feat. RM From BTS)
Ever since BTS announced they were taking a break back in June, the different members — RM, Jin, Suga, J-Hope, Jimin, V, and Jungkook — have been steadily branching out. J-Hope released a solo album Jack In The Box in July, and V joined the docuseries In The Soop: Friendcation. Now, BTS leader RM has […]
Cakes Da Killa – “Svengali”
For well over a decade, the New Jersey rapper Cakes Da Killa has been making a sharp, expressive, outwardly queer form of club-rap. In the past few years, he’s been on a serious run, tapping into a deep and resonant hip-house sound on his two Muvaland EPs. This fall, Cakes will follow those EPs with […]
Stream Ari Lennox’s New Surprise EP Away Message
Three years ago, the Washington, DC-born R&B singer released her debut album Shea Butter Baby on J. Cole’s Dreamville Records. Since then, Lennox has been on a steep ascent, and she’s joined a whole generation of sleek-but-heartfelt R&B artists. Next week, Lennox will follow Shea Butter Baby with her long-awaited sophomore LP Age/sex/location, and she […]
Editors – “Vibe”
Next month, UK rockers Editors are set to release EBM, their first full-length project with Benjamin John Power, aka Blanck Mass. The band has already shared a smattering of singles, including “Heart Attack,” “Karma Climb,” and “Kiss.” Now, Editors are back with an ominous-sounding party anthem, appropriately titled “Vibe.” Layering clattering percussion over strobing synths […]
Young Jesus – “Rose Eater”
Earlier in August, Los Angeles’ Young Jesus announced a new album, Shepherd Head, out September 16 via Saddle Creek. John Rossiter & Co. have already shared a lead single with Saddle Creek labelmate Tomberlin called “Ocean,” and now they’re sharing a second and final single before the album’s release. It’s a grandiose, operatic song called […]
