Since releasing Blond following a two-year respite from “the game,” Frank Ocean has been putting his hands and craftsmanship into a lot of stuff. Recently, he dropped a possible album cut, “Chanel.” The track is a continuation, in some ways, of the vibes from Blond and his collaboration with Calvin Harris. Overall, though, the song features […]

The still-mysterious H.E.R. (gotta love these “let’s focus on the music, not my appearance” artists. Thank Sia and The Weeknd’s early stuff) dropped this one over the weekend.

Read moreNew Music: @ILOVEMAKONNEN5D – "Call Me Badly"
Hopefully, I don’t piss off my Boi-1da.com fam for this one. But, this goes. It’s a new ILOVEMAKONNEN track that reminds me a lot of his older stuff. However, even with the “old Makonnen” feels, it’s a lot more advanced and mature than that older stuff. Additionally, it’s hypnotic as hell, partly because of the […]
