New Music Tuesday #62

The Grammy's, Fly Anakin, Fat Ray & Wes Felton

Happy Black History Month!

The country seems like it has gone crazy and it feels like something new breaks everyday. This makes writing a newsletter tracking new releases seem simultaneously important and pointless so I guess that means it’s both cus art don’t stop when society collapses.

And with that said here is where you can find me this month.

SHOWS

Feb 9 - Super Bowl Party - Medusa in Brooklyn. It starts at 5 and it’s free.99

Feb 13 - Dick & Jane’s - Pre-Valentine’s day R&B set and it’s gonna be a fun one. Let’s just say the hours are 10p - 1a.

Feb 14 - Bunton’s - Bunton’s with Mekdot I am pretty sure this one runs from 10 until 2. Maybe even 4? Aye dios mio!

Feb 17 - Frankenstein’s Baby. I’ve double booked myself!

Feb 20 - Shouting at The Screen - It’s black history month and if you want to support a black as fuck event this is the one. We’ve got a great movie and a fantastic guest lined up. What’s the movie? Can’t say. Who’s the guest? Don’t know! I just know you need to get your tickets

Feb 25 - Trivmatic - BierWax with Jim Search. It’s a free event and it believe that it starts at 7. It’ll be fun if you like hip hop trivia.

NEWS

The Grammy Awards are happened and most of our Grammy predictions were right. Shout out to the voters and let’s do it again this next year haha. I didn’t see them live but I watched the highlights and Kenny, Beyonce, Doechii and Rapsody all won. Not bad!

Beyonce announced the Cowboy Carter tour and Solange released a short film Shakersss.mov via a website and it will be at MOCA in Los Angeles. Busta Rhymes is set to receive the President’s Lifetime Achievement Award unless DT decides to cancel that along with everything else he’s been undoing. I also just found out that ASAP Rocky is in court for some sort of a gun charge.

VIDEOS

I am sure he has some drum-less joints floating around somewhere out there but I’m so happy DJ Premier hasn’t abandoned his drums full stop.

I think Quelle executive produced this upcoming Fly Anakin album so you already know it’s gonna be extra fire.

Kurious quietly put out one of the better albums of 2024 and he’s still pushing them visuals in 2025. Love to see it.

Will Smith doin art for art’s sake cus why else would he still be making music? Pretty cool to see if you ask me.

ALBUMS

Stretch dropped a few classic freestyles from the Stretch and Bobbito show and I am pumped to listen to this. Everybody from Jay Z to AZ to Mobb Deep to Big L? Talk about a sure shot.

Somebody responded to me last week to let me know that I didn’t give the Count a shout. He dropped a new instrumental album.

Jack Davey made her way onto the latest Pink Siifu album and

SINGLES

Fresh off of her Grammy win Doechii had this song on deck to drop. You gotta love it.

Black Milk and Fat Ray launched pre-sales for their album with another new song.

I haven’t checked in with Wes Felton in a while but he popped up on my radar with a song about Snoop, Nelly and Rick Ross shilling crypto with the orange guy’s admin.

Herawin’s album gonna be so crazy.

Are Larry June, 2 Chainz and The Alchemist doing a full album? Cus if not they need to.

This Shareef Keyes song was featured in the new Issa Rae film and it’s such a jam.

This is me finding out about Real Bad Man in real time. His album with Boldy got some incredible beats on it.

New Sir Micheal Rocks? Hell yeah!

I like Jamie xx. He’s got a cool story. With that said I don’t really know his music like that. I just saw Erykah’s name and decided it was worth sharing.

BONUS

I thought I’d have some random music to give you guys figured out but I have been too busy doing family vacation.

So let’s call it next week and please hold me accountable by responding to this post! The more comments I see the more pressure to upload something!

Either that or just say hi haha.
