Though never released as a ‘visual album’ per se, it seems that Jay-Z could well be following in Beyonce’s footsteps by releasing videos for every track off his new project, 4:44.
We’ve already seen clips from The Story Of O.J., Bam and the album’s title-track; today comes the latest excerpt as Jigga gives 4:44‘s opening joint Kill Jay Z the video treatment too.
Catch it below:
Fekky has teamed up with Neutrino and Chip for Avirex, the latest track to be lifted off his upcoming debut album El Clasico.
Releasing the explosive video earlier today, Fekky says of the track – “I feel like Neutrino and So Solid were the beginning of seeing people from where I’m from, on the telly, shooting crazy visuals, winning crazy awards and living a certain lifestyle. For me, it felt like Chip was the end of that era into a new era so I just wanted to capture every era up to now, and that’s why I put them both on it. Obviously, I’m the new kid on the block—so I thought to myself: ‘Let’s have it all lead up to me.'”

Mysterious producer whereisalex (all lowercase, btw) has been bubbling under the scene for a while now. Initially releasing tracks via Film Noir, the producer joins the likes of Brasstracks as a heralder of jazz-inspired futurebrass, and today he brings his sound further into the masses, working his magic across Flume and Tove Lo’s 2016 smash Say It. The track’s completely flipped from the original, this time erring toward a brass/trap focus.
Listen below:
Brasstracks are leading the way when it comes to their self-confessed ‘future brass’ – a new genre that’s as delightful as the description sounds. From featuring on Chance The Rapper‘s Coloring Book LP all the way to last year’s brilliant Good Love EP, the NYC natives definitely know a thing about delivering ultra-fun sonics.
Today they up the ante with their new instrumental Fever, and it’s seriously, SERIOUSLY good. Catch it below:
Duke Dumont and Gorgon City didn’t disappoint when they shared their first ever collab Real Life back in early-June. With some über-flirty vocals courtesy of NAATIONS, the joint has struggled to leave the dancefloors over the past few weeks, and today the jam gets another lease of life courtesy of some stellar remixes from Dillon Francis, Murdock and Kilter.
Grab a listen to them all below:
K Stewart continues to throw some sun-led pop gems our way, this time with the catchy Sex 4 Breakfast.
This one is fun as! Catch it in full below – obviously it’s been thrown onto our ‘Best of July’ playlist too (which you can subscribe to, here).
Earlier this year, Orbital announced their return with a rework of their seminal hit Kinetic; six months on the iconic electronic group are now back with new music courtesy of Copenhagen.
The track’s already played a role in many of their summer sets, however now it’s received an official studio release – catch it in full below:
High Contrast has announced his sixth studio album Night Gallery.
Set to land in October, the project will feature previous excerpts Questions, Remind Me and Shotgun Mouthwash, alongside his groovy brand new single The Beat Don’t Feel The Same.
Catch a listen below:
Jay-Z’s The Story Of O.J has received yet another remix (and this one’s absolutely solid!). Courtesy of Page Kennedy, the four-minute head-nodder hears the Detroit actor/rapper throw his response to Jigga’s 4:44-standout from the perspectives of both the younger generation and the “old heads”.
Don’t sleep on this one guys; it’s not official by any means but it passes the quality test in an instant. Catch it below:
Last week Vic Mensa announced his long-awaited debut album The Autobiography.
