With just over a month into the year so far, it would be wrong not to be enjoying what we’ve heard already. Luckily, we’re here to give you the lowdown on the very best that has happened.
At long last, we learnt that Timbaland is now part of the Roc Nation family, after years of affiliation with Jay-Z. Although we were expecting Drake’s new single right before the Grammy Awards, we received “Started From The Bottom” much earlier than scheduled. A stash of standout projects arrived from Pusha T, The Underachievers, CyHi The Prynce, Alexander Spit, Slum Village and more. Fresh singles came from Big K.R.I.T., Terrace Martin, Action Bronson, Curren$y, and even a sequel to Common’s timeless “I Used To Love H.E.R.”
Follow everything you may have missed over the the past seven days with The Week OnSMASH.
