Tha God Fahim - "After Every Dark Day Comes Sunshine"

The Dump God returns with an empowering loosie, taking his time with a polished orchestral loop.

Koreatown Oddity - "Weed in LA"

A seasoned smoker's guide to just how little changes in his hometown haunts.

Vex Ruffin - "Do It Right"

The Stones Throw enigma reemerges with a bubbly disco-leaning bop.

Buddy and Kent Jamz - "Terrified"

Is Buddy the GoldLink we deserve? This up-trot selection from the elastic Compton rapper's new collaborative project with Kent Jamz might just close the case.

Tom Misch & Yussef Dayes feat. Freddie Gibbs - "Nightrider"

One of two new features from the Gary rapper, this phased-for-days collaboration with the British duo is a couch-locked suite of the highest order.

LUCKI - "Faith"

Extending a multi-week singles campaign, the Chicago rapper returns with a slurred and spacey lo-fi trap gem.

Shabazz Palaces - "Money Yoga"

Synths and trilling hi-hats lace this meditation on the pitfalls of unchecked capitalism off the Sub Pop duo's new album, The Don of Diamond Dreams.

Bishop Nehru feat. MF DOOM - "MEATHEAD"

The Metal Face Villain produces and blesses a track from his gifted protegé. Would not be mad at a NehruvianDOOM sequel.

Westside Gunn- "Versace"

The Griselda rapper Westside Gunn hits the pews with this redemptive, gospel-anchored standout from his newly released album, Pray for Paris. 

Bon Iver - "PDLIF"

A hopeful, slow-burning prayer from the border-pushing producer.
