Week of June 19, 2026

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.

Reel Talk #12 w/ special guests Fatboi Sharif and Child Actor is going down on Saturday, July 25th. Join us at Loudmouth for a screening of Eraserhead, followed by an interview and Q&A revolving around their new album Crayola Circles, out now via Backwoodz Studioz. Doors at 6, film starts at 7. Tickets are $15 via Posh (or payment apps by request) and $20 at the door day-of. Sliding scale admission is in effect, and no one will be turned away for lack of funds. Should be a fun one, hope to see y'all there

Check out the Reel Notes podcast, dedicated to exploring the relationship between rap and film. Episode 18 of Season 6, featuring New York-via-New Jersey producer and DJ, DJ Haram, and California-via-Indiana rapper and violinist Sha Ray, is available now. New episodes of Reel Notes drop every Monday on my Patreon for paying members and every Wednesday wherever else podcasts are sold, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more via PodBean. Reel Notes is also available via my personal YouTube channel, and Podcasts on Vevo.

If you really wanna be tapped in, join the Reel Notes Patreon! The tenth iteration of Reel Talk, featuring North Carolina rapper Lord Jah-Monte, is available to stream exclusively on Patreon.
