On the first day of 2021, R.A.P. Ferreira, the restlessly smart and inventive rapper previously known as Milo, released his loose and poetic album bob’s son: R.A.P. Ferreira in the garden level cafe of the scallops hotel. Before the year is over, we’ll get another R.A.P. Ferreira album. Today, the man announces the excellently titled […]
Cardi B – “Bet It”
Earlier this year, great American Cardi B released “Up,” her last proper single. It’s also her most recent #1 hit. Since then, Cardi has appeared on tracks from artists like Normani, Lizzo, and Summer Walker. Today, Cardi has come out with a new solo track, but it’s not a proper single. Instead, it’s the opening […]
Earl Sweatshirt – “2010”
The great Earl Sweatshirt has lately been appearing on tracks from artists like MIKE, the Alchemist, Boldy James, Armand Hammer, and Wiki. Today, he’s returned with “2010,” his first solo single since last year, when he released an expanded edition of his 2019 EP Feet Of Clay. Earl’s new single is called “2010,” and it’s […]

Freddie Gibbs – “Black Illuminati” (Feat. Jadakiss)
Freddie Gibbs and Jadakiss, both masters of hard street-talk, are in possession of two of my favorite voices in rap music. They last teamed up on “Krazy” way back in 2012. And today, the Indiana and New York rap icons have reunited for the new song “Black Illuminati.” “They want to take me out this […]

It’s only been a little over two years since 100 gecs released their debut album 1000 gecs, but they have become massive in that time. Last year, they released a star-studded remix album and the hyperpop pair has been producing for the likes of Rico Nasty and 3OH!3 and Pussy Riot. Around this time last […]

Delay – “Switter Beat”
Twin brothers Austin and Ryan Eilbeck and their pal Jesse Wither (later of Stereogum favorites All Dogs) formed the pop-punk-ish indie rock band Delay way back in 1997 as teenagers in the Cleveland suburb of Berea. By 2003 they’d relocated to Columbus, where they set about becoming pillars of the local and national DIY scene, […]
Quinton Brock – “Touch”
Brooklyn-based Quinton Brock caught our attention with last fall’s “To The Moon,” a song that sounded like what Miguel might come up with if tasked with writing a 2000s-era indie rock hit. It ruled. Today he’s back with his first single in more than a year following what I can confirm was a highly engaging […]
Hazel English – “Nine Stories”
Early last year Artist To Watch alum Hazel English finally got around to releasing her debut album, Wake Up!, and today she’s back with her first new song since then, “Nine Stories.” It’s a gleaming and smooth bit of guitar-pop, featuring a gliding chorus and English’s muffled delivery. It’s named after the J.D. Salinger short […]
