A week heavy on rap and R&B releases with new music from The Weeknd, dvsn, Ebhoni, Babyface Ray, Roc Marciano, Smokepurpp, Lil Poppa, and Kodie Shane. Teyana Taylor finally gets to bask in the shared warmth of ‘We Got Love’, a cutout from K.T.S.E. owing to sample-clearing issues, change comes in the form of the second side of Conference of Birds / Birds in Disguise by Avey Tare, and there are a string of surprise collaborations between Oh No and Madlib, The Flaming Lips and Deap Vally, and Khruangbin and Leon Bridges. Kranium and Wizkid bring the best from Jamaica and Nigeria, Kali Uchis and Lido Pimienta span the Americas, Julianna Barwick synthesises the day as she looks out over the New York city skyline, and Bill Fay brings it all back home.
