Pino Palladino and Blake Mills - "Soundwalk"

Pino Palladino and Blake Mills dive into a murky funk on this standout from their new collaborative album, Notes With Attachments.

Mara TK - "Highly Medicated"

Electric Wire Hustle's Mara TK announces his debut solo album, Bad Medication, with a hook-heavy jolt of cosmic midtempo funk and proto-disco.

Oddisee - "No Trouble"

Oddisee floats over a slightly-swung rhodes-soaked accompaniment on his self-produced contribution to Mello Music Group's upcoming label compilation, Bushido.

Camden Malik - "DOORBELL"

Camden Malik boxes with the burly bassline of a muted G-funk suite on this standout from the Sacremento rapper's towering new project, Love of My Life 2.

Lord Apex - "Like You Know"

London's Lord Apex turns a symphonic Brazilian soul chop into a booming trap-laced siren on the first single from the freshly-announced third volume of his Smoke Sessions mixtape series.

Jazz Cartier and Cousin Stizz - "Nothin 2 Me"

Jazz Cartier and Cousin Stizz join forces on a shamelessly enjoyable trap anthem.

Brent Faiyaz - "Show U Off"

Brent Faiyaz continues a year-long streak with a touching ballad dedicated to the strength and resilience of the women in his life.

Buz - "Ceiling"

A tender ivory-touched highlight from Buz's debut EP, Life Should Be Whimsical. 

Cleo Reed - "Clock In-Out"

After a month of Bandcamp-exclusivity, Cleo Reed's gritty and glitch-happy new single leeps into the broader DSP landscape.
