They really are, aren't they. Can't wait for KD3. Loved Wave Gods and Hollywood Gangster. Agree re ASAP. I really like bits of what I've heard of him in the past (1 Train is a banger) but have been tepid on others. He was great on this.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.
Strong return from Earl
New Lupe. Album dropping later this year.
Any love for the new Cordae album?
Not sure if this is in the right place but had a random playlist on and this song appeared;
Appreciate it’s a few years old now. Is it worth exploring more of his music? I love this kind of thing and reminds me a little of earlier Frank Ocean (Swim Good etc).
Any other recommendations? Love this.

The Devault remix of Switch is amazing:
This is a good cover of Swim Good by Indiana, too:
Don't have an answer to your Q though, have only heard one other 6lack track.
Thanks for the reply. I’ll have a listen tomorrow.
How about any other similar tracks (any artist) in that kind of style? Looking to add to my playlist!
If no one else has told you yet, yes it absolutely is worth exploring more of his music, 6lack is fantastic.
I personally prefer his first album, it's a bit more moody, solemn and more like Frank Ocean's "blonde" whereas his second album is a bit more uptempo.
Saba is also a really good artist, he's a rapper but he's melodic & rhythmic so he bends the two genres a bit.
This is one of my favourite songs from him
Heres a song with Saba, 6lack & Smino (also another really good artist)
Others to check out; SiR, Masego, Lucky Daye, James Blake.
If you specifically just want some lo-fi-type instrumentals then look into J Dilla and also Nujabes, their styles heavily birthed a lot of these beat styles that these types of artists use.
Thank you both!
Much appreciated. I only know Cudi (very underrated IMO) so I’ll add the other tracks to my play list and let you know.
6LACK is great and yeah that Saba album is superb. Great storytelling.
A few more good 6LACK songs are Pretty Little Fears feat. J Cole and also Stan.
Maybe give Choker a listen as well @TheReligion. Songs like Juno, Petrol Bliss & Lucky give off very Blonde Frank Ocean vibes.
This is fantastic.
The new Benny stuff is nice. Very nice.
Didn't realise Nas released yet another album at the tail end of last year...
It’s amazing. They’ve managed to make something sound really new but also really nostalgic. Nas is having a fine Indian summer.
Hit Boy has really turned up on the last few Nas albums and of course, Nas' flow is on point, Kings Disease 2 is a fantastic album.
DJ Kay Slay has passed away
Utter legend in the NY radio and mixtape scene.
Sad news I remember he had a lot of influence around the Nas V Jay Z battle.
Apparently he refused to take the vaccine
Hallelujah!
Yes, yes, yes, yes
Hope he tours again, the DAMN tour was amazing to go see in Manchester.
It's happening.
Who the feck is oklama
finally.So one month?! Very exciting...it's been a minute. Hope it loves up to its predecessors.
I love rollouts like this. So many artists announce something and release singles from it for months and by the time it comes out you’ve been anticipating it for ages plus you’re sick of the singles.
Agreed entirely! I guess K dot doesn't need to build hype any more...he knows people are chomping at the bit.
I still think we're going to get The Heart Part V.
I love Pusha T, the man never disappoints.
What a start for an album. Whole album is great, but those first two songs is crazy.
Excited to listen to this later. Not even going to do it the disservice of listening while working.
Its one hell of a month comming.
This friday : Pusha T
Next friday : Future
Friday after that : Jack Harlow
Friday after that again : Kendrick

He is just playing with the rest
So glad he continued The Heart series, mentioned many times is one of my favourite callback series he returns to.
The video was touching, loved that he referred to many people in popular culture who have gained notoriety particularly at their low points and showed grace to them in their vulnerability, instead of adding onto the pile-on like so many others.
Love the references to Jay-Z, Lauryn Hill, Nipsey, and many references to his own previous lyrics too.
Great track! Looking forward to the album.

There is a song/group I'm trying to find.
Song is around 5- 6 years old. They're riding around on BMXs around some suburb type neighbourhood and that's literally all I remember.
Any thoughts?
