This season of Insecure is winding down, but the playlists are still going strong! We finally saw Issa’s breakdown and as an audience, we are learning more about the hurt she and Lawrence are carrying. The list features Amir Obe (love his latest project), Roman GianArthur, Kari Faux, and many more. Next week is the 45 minute season finale. I know Kier Lehman and the team will end on an amazing note with the soundtrack. Now here are this week’s sounds. Enjoy! http://spoti.fi/2eDkmjQ

Daniel Caesar’s “Freudian”

Toronto native Daniel Caesar has released the most beautiful album I have heard in 2017, “Freudian”. The album is for true R&B lovers and anyone who loves a good love song. This is definitely the album you want playing when you invite that special someone over for dinner. The album features Kali Uchis (who is having a great 2017 with a feature on Tyler the Creator’s new album and the Insecure soundtrack), H.E.R., Syd, and Charlotte Day Wilson. “Freudian” captures beautiful melodies, addictive harmonies, and honest, vulnerable lyrics from Caesar. Give “Freudian” a listen: http://spoti.fi/2waQaRN. For those who want to see Caesar while he is in Philly, he will be performing at Union Transfer on October 16.

New Music and Project from The Jet Age of Tomorrow 

Odd Future members have really been putting in work this year. We have had new projects from Tyler, The Creator, Syd, and Matt Martians. Now we have a new release from The Jet Age of Tomorrow which is a combination of Matt Martians and Odd Future founding member, Pyramid Vritra. The two released a new track called “Fly Like Me” and also announced they will drop a new project called  “God’s Poop or Clouds?” on September 15. Fun facts: Matt created the album art and told his Twitter followers that after this album is released he will still record future albums with The Internet but will be focusing on his art more.

Section808s Song of the Week

Our song of the week comes from our favorite “Flower Boy” Tyler, The Creator’s “See You Again”. The song features singer Kali Uchis and is a love song to Tyler’s ideal mate who exist only in his dreams. While questions continue to linger about Tyler’s sexuality, I could care less who he is singing about. A good love song is a good love song, and I am here for all of Tyler’s vulnerability.

"Why do we get so upset when we, us as a culture want to start our own shit? That shit is puzzling to me. Like I sit back and I'm like, 'This makes no sense'...We are culture. Nothing moves without us. We just continue to give it away." Jay-Z, Rap Radar Podcast

Noname announced the new tour today and has been teasing her new project Room 25 more and more. I suspect this means we will be getting new music from her this fall! Noname is amazing in concert.
