Week three of the G.O.O.D. takeover has arrived. Kanye West is back — this time, with KiD CuDi — for the join project Kids See Ghosts, which sees additional assistance from Pusha T, Ty Dolla $ign, Yasiin Bey and (presumably) more. As with ye, this one was also preceded by a live stream via WAV.

Very excited to check this one out.

London singer Angel is back with a brand new album titled Woman, his official follow-up to 2013’s About Time (not counting impressive EP’s in-between — please check this man’s catalog if you’re not familiar). This go ’round, fans get 14 new tracks with additional appearances from Giggs, Eric Bellinger and WSTRN‘s Haile.

Superfly (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Director X‘s new remake of Superfly has arrived, and so has the Future-fronted accompanying soundtrack. In addition to Curtis Mayfield’s successor, the 13-track compilation also sees appearances from Khalid, H.E.R., Young Thug, 21 Savage, Miguel, PARTYNEXTDOOR and more. Hopefully, both music and film will be equally on-point.

Jorja Smith – Lost & Found

Thanks to Drake and others, much of the world has become exposed to the breathtaking Jorja Smith, who has already been making huge waves in the UK and Europe. Now, following a slew of dope Pop/R&B singles comes her debut album Lost & Found, which surprisingly doesn’t feature the Stormzy-assisted “Let Me Down.” Regardless, this one should solidify her career as an amazing talent that can hold her own without big names to back her. Check it out — along with a recent Live Lounge performance — below…in related news, you can also check out her recent feature with Playboy (!).

Ne-Yo – GOOD MAN

It’s very dope to see how R&B star Ne-Yo has remained fresh and relevant for more than a decade. This weekend, he delivers his seventh official offering GOOD MAN, his latest since 2015’s Non-Fiction. The project sees 20 tracks and additional appearances from Stefflon Don, Bebe Rexha, PARTYNEXTDOOR, Eric Bellinger and more.

If you’re not familiar with singer-songwriter Sirach Charles (aka Angel), you need to be: not only has the London artist consistently dropped heat for much of this decade (ex. About Time, Possession With Intent and the more recent Her), the Island/Motown star has also crafted hit records for the likes of Beyoncé and Justin Bieber as part of The Clutch.

Last month, Angel liberated a new, Reggae-and-B cut titled “Hi Grade,” a perfect selection for the impending Summer weather. As he revealed to The FADER (who premiered the single), the song also pays homage to his father, Tenadi Charles, and Grenadian heritage:

I actually started producing Reggae music initially before I found love in R&B… This record was an opportunity to make something my Pops and Uncles would be really proud of. It’s authentic and represents my foundation and roots. It’s really important to me.

You can enjoy “Hi Grade” and — if you’d like more where that came from — last year’s Rich Homie Quan-assisted “Fvxk With You” below. Currently, Angel is putting the finishing touches on a new EP, said to be arriving sometime this Summer.
