Cassie

’90s and early ’00s rap and R&B-focused fest Lovers & Friends has moved from Los Angeles to Las Vegas, and it’s now on for next year.

It’s not explicitly billed as a collaborative album, but it may as well be; Gibbs appears on six of the eight songs.

All the new hip hop we postedd on BV this week, including Drake, Rapsody, Brockhampton, Cousin Stizz, Rico Nasty, Little Simz, Channel Tres/JPEGMAFIA, Denzel Curry, and more.

Listen to new songs by Alchemist/Schoolboy Q, Cross Record, Part Time, Ghost Funk Orchestra, Vacant Lots, and more.

Here’s all the hip hop we posted on BV this week, including Freddie Gibbs/Madlib, A$AP Ferg, Big K.R.I.T., H.E.R./YBN Cordae, Joell Ortiz, Young M.A, and more.

Listen to new songs by Lucy Dacus, The Appleseed Cast, Imperial Teen, Torche, Joell Ortiz/Big K.R.I.T., Cassie, Ada Lea, Florist, Nels Cline/Yuka Honda, Killswitch Engage, and more.

When I Get Home meets its sky-high expectations with ease. It scratches the same itch as the now-classic A Seat At The Table, but it’s also Solange’s most psychedelic and experimental album yet…

This week’s Notable Releases include the semi-surprise Solange album, Devil Master, Royal Trux, Hand Habits, Little Simz, 2 Chainz, and more.

Solange’s new album features contributions from Earl Sweatshirt, Panda Bear, Tyler the Creator, Blood Orange, Sampha, Standing on the Corner, Cassie, Scarface, and more.

T-Pain, who is now a few years removed from proving he can really sing, is playing some major festivals and a big NYC show with Cassie, which is an awesome double bill.
