Can you believe it? October is about to be over even though it feels like the month just began. But even as it wraps up, new music continues to be released.
Of course, Tyler, the Creator’s “Noid” was the main attraction, with the artist also announcing that he intends to release the album the song is from, Chromakopia, on Tuesday, Oct. 28 (harkening back to a time when albums used to release on that day of the week instead of Friday).
But there are also new tracks from funk luminary Bootsy Collins and R&B songstress Summer Walker.
As for new albums, there’s Atlanta’s Hunxcho and CheNoir, with the latter managing to get a member from the proto-rap group The Last Poets on her project.
Each week, Okayplayer will deliver a roundup of all the latest new heat from some of our favorite artists. Check out the latest offerings below.
