The picks for best new music released the week of Friday, July 2 to the week of July 9 are in! Coming in at the number one spot for best new album is Snoh Aalegra’s Temporary Highs in Violet Skies which has zero skips. The 15 track album features 2 songs with Tyler, the Creator, James Fauntleroy, and Pharrell as a producer. Following Snoh we have IDK’s USEE4YOURSELF, Vince Staples’s Vince Staples, G Herbo’s 25, Jam & Lewis’s Volume One, and listed 6th in top albums is Joy Oladokun’s in defense of my own happiness. I think we’ve finally come across the songs of the summer with Kali’s “MMM MMM”, Bas’s “The Jackie” featuring J. Cole and Lil Tjay, Brent Faiyaz’s “Wasting Time” featuring Drake, and Bia’s “Whole Lotta Money” remix featuring Nicki Minaj. Dvsn released a song featuring Ty Dolla $ign and the late great Mac Miller who passed away in 2018 titled “I Believed It”, listening to the song and seeing the visualizer makes it feel like he’s still here with us.
There’s plenty of new music and we have the best of it! Keep scrolling to find your favorites.
