JAY-Z has shared new music to coincide with the release of his ‘Bonus Edition’ of 4:44..

He’s already previewed Blue’s Freestyle and Adnis, however new to the mark comes ManyFacedGod which features James Blake.

Listen: NEIKED – Call Me (Alex Adair Remix)

Video: Kendrick Lamar – ‘LOYALTY.’ (ft. Rihanna)

Album stream: Toddla T – ‘Foreign Light’

Toddla T has been teasing his Foreign Light project for a fair few months now. From opening the year with the Andrea Martin-featuring Blackjack 21 back in early-spring, the DJ/producer has gradually hyped up his new record with further joints (many of which include Martin’s soulful grooves), and today comes Foreign Light‘s official release, Toddla’s first new full-length studio project in almost six years.

Featuring further collabs from the likes of CaSisDEAD and Stefflon Don (among others), Foreign Light gives probably the closest look at the UK’s burgeoning scene right now. It may be only be 10 tracks in its entirety, but every joint packs more than the right punch.

Listen to the full album below:

Listen: Mick Jagger – ‘England Lost’ (ft Skepta)

Teased earlier this week, Midnight hears the lead release from the Londoner’s anticipated third studio album set to land later this year, and comes as the first piece of all-new solo music from Ware since 2014’s acclaimed Tough Love LP.

Premiering the track for the first time on BBC Radio 1 (where it received Annie Mac’s coveted ‘Hottest Record’ status), Jessie revealed the basis of the song as “a big old love song to [husband] Sam and my little girl”.
