Firstly, happy 4/20 to everyone who celebrates the occasion! The past week was one of busiest weeks of the year so far, and it was jump-started straight from Monday with Drake’s killer dosage of tracks. From news about Kobe Bryant’s injury to the return of Breaking Bad, there was definitely something for everyone to discuss. A single week without Jay-Z breaking the headlines just wouldn’t seem right, as he penned a letter to the Brooklyn Jets, covered TIME magazine and became part of the first billionaire couple in popular music. We should definitely be thinking about starting a sub-heading simply for Hov.
A packed week was fuelled by brand new singles from Cocaine 80s, Drake, Statik Selektah, Havoc, Rockie Fresh, De La Soul, Problem, Florence + The Machine, Juicy J, Daft Punk, Ludacris, Disclosure and plenty more. You can also make the most of notable new projects from the likes of Eric Bellinger, Chinx Drugz, will.i.am, Jahlil Beats, Snoop Lion and Funkmaster Flex.
Stay up to date with everything over the past seven days with The Week OnSMASH.
