If you like Frank Ocean, you gotta check out one of the most underrated R&B artist’s in the game, houston kendrick. On his latest track, ‘Hey Now’ (ft. Zach Taylor), what feels like references to early 90’s R&B is reworked into a modern electronic banger. Silk smooth beats and vocals give this track a chilled out vibe perfect for the weekend. Enjoy.
Multi-talented Chicago emcee Sir the Baptist scores a feature from gospel hitmaker Donald Lawrence on uplifting new jawn “What We Got”. Way into it.
Chicago megatalent Mick Jenkins will release his The Healing Component project on September 23. The gutty, almost proto-blues BADBADNOTGOOD-driven reads as a sort of genreless hymn to real shit. We’re definitely on board.
“Bobby Womack, save a place for me.” L.A. rapper Dom Kennedy returns with first new track in over a year, the cooled out Jake One-Produced “96 Cris”. Dom’s Los Angeles Is Not For Sale Vol 1 is coming soon.
Scandinavia’s latest and greatest R&B export is Oslo export Bright. “Doing Things”, which we are very pleased to premiere at B3, is outfitted expertly with a Drake to Trey Songz melange of A+ hook-writing and US radio-ready production and arranging. A featured artist at this year By:Larm festival in Oslo, a #1 track on his home country’s Spotify viral chart and tour support for Nelly, Bright is most definitely on his way up. Spin the B3 Premiere of “Doing Things” below.
Previewed below is “Surplus”, the latest from Philadelphia artist Kenji. A component part of Kenji’s debut “I’ll Think Of Something Better” EP, “Surplus” floats a-top a wash of cooled-out post-Sade electronics and a humid summer’s night aesthetic. We are into it.
The Atlanta emcee drops a silky smooth summertime heater with the nameplate of Joltin’ Joe.
