Well, we did it. Summer has effectively begun and new albums are trickling in to contend for a spot in your seasonal rotation.

Kelly Moonstone delivers a tripped-out treatise on late-night r&b with her debut studio album, I Digress. Speakers Corner Quintet imbue soul and hip-hop with air-tight jazz chops on their expansive introductory project, Farther Out Than The Edge. Metro Boomin proves an ample and wildly capable composer on the blockbuster soundtrack to the new animated movie, Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse. Pi’erre Bourne continues to showcase his Sosshouse roster with the new J Billz mixtape, Streetz Hottest Young’n. And DaBoii proves The Bay is a hub for more than just hyphy on his The Mekanix-produced tape, Soakin’ Game.
