Words: Dylan Murphy

With the endless onslaught of new music every Friday it’s hard to keep up with all the new releases. We’ve curated the essential new albums and projects out today for you to check out.

Cleo Sol – Gold

Cleo Sol’s stock is through the roof. The lead singer of the enigmatic UK group SAULT is also a frequent collaborator with Little Simz and already has three other stunning albums under her belt. So you already know this was the first thing we were hitting play on this morning.

Jorja Smith – falling or flying

Jorja Smith blessed us with a 16 track album that features J Hus, Lila Iké and production from the likes of DAMEDAME*. Tap in.

Maxo – Debbie’s Son

Having featured on Earl Sweatshirt’s Feet of Clay deluxe version, Maxo has been on quite the run since. His latest album Debbie’s Son, maintains the quality output of the past few years and invites Zelooperz for a guest verse too.

Armand Hammer – We Buy Diabetic Test Strips

This album is what we like to call in the industry ‘a spicy meatball’. Experimental rap goodness from one of the underground’s most compelling duos. billy woods and E L U C I D always cook when they link up and they’ve invited JPEGMAFIA, EL-P, Pink Siifu and more for the ride. Strap yourself in.

Kelvin Krash – HARSH

Accomplished producer Kelvin Krash shares his debut album today having already worked with the likes of Skepta, Giggs, Jeshi, A$AP Twelvvy, Lancey Foux, and Kasien. A$AP Rocky makes an appearance on ‘GET A GRIP’ too.
