Sango’s new album ‘In The Comfort Of’ is “inspired by the idea that comfort and being comfortable doesn’t always have to mean complacency. Comfort is almost like being confident,” the Seattle-based producer told HighSnobiety. “You know enough to be comfortable. Complacent is like being too set and not caring, it’s like settling almost.

British MC and producer Jay Prince says of new track ‘Heights’: “My first release of the year, collaborated with the homie from Brazil [Deryck Cabrera] on this joint, hope you guys vibe with this one.” Cabrera’s uplifting production, filled with fizzing hi-hats and gentle synths, sounds great underneath Prince’ optimistic bars, which carry with them a…
What it lacks in terms of length, ‘Mais Mais Mais’ more than makes up in energy and vitality [insert joke about sexual prowess here].

GoldLink’s debut album ‘And After That, We Didn’t Talk’, arrived a week early via Soulection. We guess he just couldn’t wait any longer, and from the tracks he shared in the build-up to the LP drop, neither could we. The variety of producers involved in AATWDT [Tom Misch, Medasin, Galimatias and long-time partner Louie Lastic] is…
