Nu Musique Friday: Week of May 14, 2021 (redux)
(The previous email was filled with broken photos. This one has all the album covers. Sorry about that)
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.
Please consider donating to The Okra Project, an organization dedicated to helping feed Black trans youth.
If you feel so inclined, check out the Reel Notes podcast, dedicated to exploring the relationship between rap and film. The ninth episode, featuring L’Orange and Namir Blade, is out now. New episodes release every Wednesday wherever podcasts are sold, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Audiomack, Google Podcasts, and more via Buzzsprout.
