Title Error on Kids See Ghosts
Without pushing back the date, Kid Cudi and Kanye West released Kids See Ghosts today. The 7 song project contains features from Pusha T, Ty Dolla Sign, and others. The outro also contains a Kurt Cobain guitar sample.
The incorrect titles seen on streaming services might be an error when uploading the album. No report has dropped yet explaining why this is.
Overall, the project felt well prepared, even with the rushed debut date. The production on tracks such as "4th Dimension" and "Reborn" stand out with their lo-fi distorted percussion. This sound reminisces on the iconic Kayne West sound first brought forth on 808's and Heartbreak.
On "Cudi Montage" the second verse describes the corruption of a person due to their niece being shot. This leads to them creating their own justice, which results in their arrest, only causing more pain that family. This might be one of the best verses where Kanye is telling a non personal story.
Curren$y And Action Bronson Team Up For "Scarab 38"
Curren$y's latest release The Marina EP, which came out last week, is an 8 track, star-studded EP filled with features from artists like French Montana, Action Bronson and Wiz Khalifa going toe to toe with the New Orleans MC. Curren$y linked up with producer Harry Fraud on the album and all of the beats are crafted to match the vintage Miami aesthetic that's found throughout the EP.
One track in particular stands out, "Scarab 38" is a summertime bop. The beat sounds like the soundtrack to a James Bond style speedboat getaway, complete with coast guard radio chat scattered throughout the track. Action Bronson kicks things off with his trademark braggadocios style followed by Curren$y humblebragging in a way that only a truly successful rapper can, not aspirational but casually observational.

A$AP Rocky & Skepta Release New Visuals
A$AP Rocky & Skepta team up on the split screen visual representing New York City & London for their song "Praise The Lord (Da Shine)." Following a similar vintage hazy feel of the previous video, "A$AP Forever." The combination of the quick transitions, A$AP's outfits, Tyler the Creator cameo, and the cool color tone creates another epic music video.

Dally Auston Shares New Single "Nike Effect"
West Side rapper Dally Auston just released a new track called "Nike Effect" via soundcloud. This is the latest release from Dally, who uses his laid back flow to talk about his approach to life before dropping a series of pop culture references in rapid sequence on top of the spaced out, David Miller produced, beat. The track clocks in at 2 minutes long, urging the listener to follow along with the quickfire lyrics which is typical of Dally Auston, especially in his more recent releases. Listen to it below.

serpentwithfeet Shares "Seedless"
New York based singer serpentwithfeet is sharing his new single, “seedless,” ahead of the release of his debut album, soil this Friday, June 8th. Co-produced with Clams Casino, “seedless” pokes fun at serpentwithfeet’s overbearing presence in the lives of partners. serpentwithfeet plays with the extremes of his ideals to show the ways in which past partners have felt oppressed by his need. The hyper-vibrato of his voice floats uneasily above a dark, industrial beat that pulses with mechanical precision throughout the track.

Look for soil streaming everywhere this Friday.
