Nu Musique Friday: Week of April 12, 2024
Keeping track of all the new music that drops every week is a nightmare. I’m here to do it so you don’t have to! Welcome to Nu Musique Friday. Pull up some headphones and stay awhile.
My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is out right now! If you're in the NY/NJ/CT area, I'm hosting a release party at Loudmouth Brooklyn tonight, April 12, from 7PM-11PM. The event will also double as the second episode of my Reel Talk interview series, this time featuring special guest AKAI SOLO. Free admission with a $5 suggested donation (no one will be turned away if they don't have it). Purchase your digital copy on Amazon and read it on the Kindle app (You don't need a Kindle to read it. Buy the book and download the app).
Check out the Reel Notes podcast, dedicated to exploring the relationship between rap and film. The eighth episode of season 4, featuring Houston rapper jerrard (fka Danny Watts), is available now. New episodes drop every Wednesday wherever podcasts are sold, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, and more via Buzzsprout. Reel Notes is also available via my personal YouTube channel, and Podcasts on Vevo.
If you really wanna be tapped in, join the Reel Notes Patreon today! For as little as $5/month, you'll gain access to our Discord server, exclusive interviews and reviews, early access to new episodes, & more.
