The star-studded record features cameos from some of the biggest names in the music, including Drake, Justin Timberlake, JAY-Z, and Megan Thee Stallion. Stream it below via Spotify. DJ Khaled started teasing his follow-up to 2019’s Father of Asahd last summer, but then he vanished out of nowhere. It looked like he was hyped on wrangling a number of high-profile artists into the studio to record before realizing that the ongoing coronavirus pandemic wouldn’t end anytime soon. It’s fitting, then, that the hit-making producer would want to releas...

<span class="localtime" data-ltformat="F j, Y | g:ia" data-lttime="2021-04-30T04:28:24+00:00“>April 30, 2021 | 12:28am ET Rising California MC Baby Keem has teamed with Houston’s finest Travis Scott for the new single “durag activity”. The song is a major step forward for Keem, as it marks the first major collaboration from the young rapper. While he’s worked on projects like his cousin Kendrick Lamar’s Black Panther: The Album and Beyoncé’s The Lion King: The Gift, “durag activity” is his first official joint track. After being teased last week, the cut has now dropped alongside an accompanying music video.

This is the second single we’ve heard from Planet (i), following “Hurt a Fly”, and it sees Squirrel Flower veering in a dark direction. Over drawn-out, minimalist drumming and guitar strums that are barely there, Williams sings about a rebirth of sorts fueled by resentment. It increasingly sounds like a whispered Low song, and Williams puts her own spin on that slowcore style with melodically mono...

One of those was a book on his life and career called The Albatross Man, which is set for release later this year. Green also gave his stamp of approval to a pair of tracks to be released in conjunction with the tome, including a newly revealed rendition of “Need Your Love So Bad” featuring Pink Floyd’s David Gilmour. “Need Your Love So Bad” was first heard on Fleetwood Mac’s 1969 album, The Pious Bird of Good Omen.
