So many artists, so many songs, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we’d call “indie,” and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here’s a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
LAKEITH STANFIELD – “FAST LIFE” (FEAT. KID CUDI)
LaKeith Stanfield, who is best known for his memorable, idiosyncratic performances in film and TV (Atlanta, Judas and the Black Messiah, Uncut Gems), has signed to Def Jam and released his first single for the label. “Fast Life” features Kid Cudi and has LaKeith in melodic rap mode. The striking video was directed by Jeymes Samuel, aka The Bullitts, who made The Book of Clarence and The Harder They Fall, both of which featured LaKeith.
