Rated by The Face: a weekly playlist

The flow of new music is relentless. Want to keep up with the best stuff? Check out this playlist, which we lovingly update every week.

Kendrick Lamar – The Heart Part 5

K.Dot’s back and there’s so much to process here. Roll on Friday 13^th.

Naira Marley – O’Dun ft. Zinoleesky

The one-of-a-kind Nigerian hitmaker drops the breezy, bouncy lead single from his debut album God’s Timings The Best.

A$AP Rocky – D.M.B.

There’s something subtly psychedelic about Flacko’s ​“ghetto love tale”.

Knucks – Die Hard. ft Stormzy

There are alternative UK rap fans out there who argue that Knucks is one of the best in the scene. Stormzy recognises the talent.

IDK – Breathe

IDK has just dropped an eight track project entirely produced by the always-excellent Kaytranada. The sound is mostly jagged disco rap, but on Breathe the duo zone out into blissful territory.

Eartheater – Mitosis

Sega Bodega teams up with the experimental musician and burgeoning fashion icon, providing glacial synths reminiscent of Eartheater’s 2019 album Trinity.

George Riley – Jealousy

We loved George Riley on Anz’s 2021 late summer dancefloor banger You Could Be. The London singer is in a more gentle mode on Jealousy, with tranquil production courtesy of Vegyn.

Jack Harlow – Churchill Downs ft. Drake

Drake gave Jack a verse so good that he had to add new bars to his own.
