Joey Bada$$ – “Survivor’s Guilt”
Later this month, Joey Bada$$ is releasing 2000, the sequel of sorts to his 2012 mixtape 1999, which celebrated its 10th anniversary last month.

A couple weeks ago, Addy Harris released “Spinning Wheel,” the lead single from her upcoming debut full-length as Rat Tally, In My Car.

Julien Baker – “Guthrie”
At this point, Julien Baker is batting 1000. She’s released three solo albums, and all three are absolute gut-scraping bangers.
