These are the highlights of this past week in music! Well actually… the past two weeks in music since we missed last week while were out of the office for Coachell! So with two weeks of music, this week’s installment is definitely stacked. Hopefully you can bump these tracks on your way to work to brighten up your Monday mornings, and to stay up-to-date on today’s music.
This week we have new music from Vic Mensa and Kanye West, the return of Mike Posner, Run The Jewels and more. Get started at the jump below to check out our favorite records of the past week.
Sunday wrapped up our amazing experience during our first year at Coachella. The weekend was surreal, as music fans saw performances from Drake, Lil B, The Weeknd, Tyler the Creator, Toro y Moi, Action Bronson, Run The Jewels and many more! While we posted a small selection of our favorite photos last weekend, to share our experience with our readers, we will be posting new photo galleries from Coachella EVERY DAY FOR THE NEXT MONTH. We saw over 30 great performances this past weekend and we will share our collection of photos of each until we run out!

It’s not technically new but it’s new to us, as a new unheard Rihanna and Chris Brown collaboration has surfaced online. The previously unreleased track from the former lovers is titled ‘Put It Up’, and you can stream it now. We aren’t quite sure when this track was recorded, especially since Breezy and Rihanna have had a long history, but either way the record is hot.
‘All Gold Everything’ rapper Trinidad James had a rough breakup with Def Jam, but getting dropped from one of the biggest labels hasn’t stopped him. Earlier this year he dropped his very strong project, No One Is Safe, and now we have his new EP, titled Trips To Trinidad. Coming in at just four tracks (and with no features) this EP is definitely worth a listen.
Check out Trinidad’s new Trips To Trinidad EP here and stream ‘Trini Wolves’ below.

We just got back from Coachella, and already we are getting excited to travel to our next music festival. While the next fest on our radar is definitely on a smaller scale, that isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
Ever since the 2013 announcement of Madison, Wisconsin’s Revelry Music & Arts Festival, I have been a fan. For years the live artist recruiting by the University of Wisconsin was disappointing, and this is coming from a Badger of seven long years. Revelry changed that, balancing a student-run organization’s budget by drawing in some of the biggest emerging names across several different genres. And now that I have since graduated, I am excited to return as a photographer and journalist. Continue reading Revelry Music & Arts Festival: A 2015 Artists Guide→
