Fresh Friday - August 19th, 2022

Welcome, if you're reading this, you've made it to Friday! I'm losing my mind, but that doesn't stop new music!

This is apology adjacent, but the lack of major artist releases this Friday has led to a lesser-known, more underground type FF. We'll just call it an "off-road" Fresh Friday. Find something new to enjoy below, maybe?


Demi Lovato - HOLY FVCK :

It's always great to see redemption stories (although in my opinion, it's not a redemption arc for cleaning yourself up -- most everyone deserves second chances) and Demi's has been great. And this album is GREAT.

Offset - "54321":

As if the Migos breakup situation couldn't get any more confusing, here's Offset venturing back into the solo career field. Is this a good song? I think it's okay.

BLACKPINK - "Pink Venom":

I'm told these people are popular, yet I can't name another song by them? The wonders of K-Pop abound.

Armani Caesar - "Hunnit Dolla Hiccup (feat. Benny the Butcher & Stove God Cooks)":

Y'all know I'm a big fan of Griselda Records, and I never shut up about it. Lots of people are missing out from Armani Caesar, who has a great delivery and could easily bring Griselda into the mainstream.

Skullcrusher - "They Quiet the Room"/"Quiet the Room":


I'm avoiding listening to these so I don't spoil the album, but two singles and two videos? Woah!

serpentwithfeet - "I'm Pressed":

Smooth. Sultry. Just how we like serpentwithfeet. While you're here, go check out his two incredible albums.

Iceage - "Shake the Feeling":

I love these guys. Damn they rock. And this is from an upcoming album of unreleased demos and rarities? Holy cow.

Larry June - Spaceships on the Blade:

Just about as underground as it gets. Love the flow, the beat selection, and the bonus Alchemist verse.

Nick Hakim - "Happen":

This guy put out an album a couple years ago that I don't give the love it deserves. This song looks promising, gimme the next album, sir.

Jean Dawson - "3 HEADS*":

Earlier this year, Jean blessed us with "PORN ACTING*", which is a pretty tough single to follow. Project soon? please?
