Entitled Better Me Than You, Sean Don dropped off the trailer for the highly anticipated record as well as its first official single "Yes."While the trailer doesn't reveal much and rather leans into its visual composition, Sean followed up to confirm its release date of August 9.

BIG SEAN x THE ALCHEMIST soon," he wrote in an Instagram caption.And he did – revealing the first official single from the album, "Yes."...

When I listen to City Cinderella, it’s what I want to hear," she began in an Instagram caption. "I was being completely true to myself, the south, my city & my day 1’s who loved my verse on 'Where The Bag At' lol... ahhh I’m so happy it’s out!!! I feel free."The 16-track offering echos the sentiment JT introduced on "Sideways" and asserted with even more vigor on "OKAY" – that she's more than capable of handling herself as a solo artist.

Carter Vail's time is now. Over the last three months, the Connecticut-hailing musician's short-and-snappy songs ("Dirt Man" and "Aliens Ain't Sh*t," among them) have stolen the internet's heart, propelling his follower count into the millions, granting him the opportunity to tour with Yung Gravy this fall and earning him a rare nod from Apple Music's Zane Lowe.But the highlight reel doesn't end there. The absurdist pop-rocker has just released his sophomore album: 100 Cowboys, a nine-track project filled with his most personal work to date.“With all of my music so far, it just came out of a desire to make music rather than a specific inciting incident in my life,” Vail said in a statement. “That all changed with 100 Cowboys.” Like many of the best records in history, the album was inspire...
