Week 2 of Round 2 of Kanye West’s highly anticipated GOOD Fridays is finally here, and despite a brief (3 day) delay this week definitely delivered. Following the release of his ‘Real Friends’ record, which was loved by critics and fans alike, this week Kanye blessed us all with the full version of his Kendrick Lamar collaboration ‘No More Parties in LA’.
Kanye’s new album Swish, his first LP since his game-changing 2013 album Yeezus, is only a few weeks away. And if Ye’s first two GOOD Friday tracks of 2016 are indication of what the new album sounds like, then we cannot wait for February 11th.
Milwaukee singer Lex Allen is easily one of the most exciting artists out of Chicago’s sister to the North. With an amazing and beautiful voice, that can be best paralleled to that of John Legend, but with a complete style of his own, Allen is not only immensely talented but the bravery he shows through the sexuality in his music, while crossing genres with a historically unaccepting style of music, is without a doubt unmatched even in 2016. His raw talent mixed with his honesty makes him one our favorite artists to watch in the new year.
Allen’s new record is no exception to all the things that make him great. ‘Cream and Sugar’, which is produced by Q the Sun and assisted by a verse from the equally talented Milwaukee artist Webster X, is a catchy track that is sure to get you to sing along. With visuals directed by Cody LaPlant, the track and music video together demonstrate the vast creativity from New Age Narcissism, a Milwaukee collective with three of its members on this record alone (Allen, Webster X, Q the Sun).
Watch and listen to Lex Allen’s new music video and record ‘Cream and Sugar’ below.

Rapper/singer Anderson .Paak new album Malibu is only a few days away (January 15th) and today we have a new track from the forthcoming LP. Titled ‘Come Down’, .Paak’s flow on the new record can’t be touched and it has us very excited for his new project.
Anderson .Paak hit the radar of many, despite making music for years, in 2015 when he played a major role in Dr. Dre’s critically acclaimed comeback album, Compton. Knowing how .Paak makes the artists around him better, it will be interesting to see how good of a solo project that the California native will put out next week, while taking the wheel all himself.
GOOD Fridays are back in 2016! And to get things back started with a bang, this week gives us two new awesome tracks from Kanye West. The new records, titled ‘Real Friends’ and ‘No More Parties in LA’ are exactly what we have been waiting for from Kanye. ‘No More Parties in LA’ also brings us a highly anticipated collaboration between Kanye and Kendrick Lamar, who first linked up when Ye invited Kendrick on his critically acclaimed Yeezus Tour.
New collabs with Sia, the return of GOOD Fridays, and headlining The Governors Ball, Yeezy season is officially back! Unfortunately though, the version of ‘No More Parties in LA’ that Kanye released on Soundclound (which has since been deleted) is just a sample, of what may be one of the best records that rap will see in 2016.
Listen to “Real Friends” and “No More Parties in LA” here.
