As February winds down, there’s a bevy of great new singles, EPs and albums from across all genres.
When it comes to new songs, the biggest drop is J. Cole’s “cLOUDS,” a track he unloaded through his Algorithm website. Quavo drops his first official release of the year. And Coco Jones serves a reminder that she’s R&B’s most sultry revivalist with “Taste.”
Of course, the highly anticipated joint album from Dave East and Ransom makes serious noise; and singer-rapper Morray finally takes center stage once again for his new project, Long Story Short.
There’s also RJ Payne’s team-up with the legendary Erick Sermon, as well as NAO’’s Jupiter, the spiritual sequel to her acclaimed 2018 album Saturn.
Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
