Protest music from Lil Baby, Emel Mathlouthi, Dax, Roney, and T-Pain, fresh albums from Chloe x Halle, Gia Margaret, and KEY!, Lil Wayne, Ciggy Black, and TORRES are riddled with anxiety, and Teyana Taylor, Delicate Steve, and Glen Hansard carry small bundles of joy. Plus new songs from Pop Smoke, Jorja Smith, Kaash Paige, and Mach-Hommy, bound together by a suite of passages from Laurel Halo on the theme of Ursula K. Le Guin’s carrier bag of fiction, and the first extended play by RMR a distension of his country-trap croon.
