So many artists, so little time. Each week we review a handful of new albums (of all genres), round up even more new music that we'd call "indie," and talk about what metal is coming out. We post music news, track premieres, and more all day. In these concertless times, that includes daily livestreams and live concert videos we love. We update a playlist weekly of some of our current favorite tracks. Here's a daily roundup with a bunch of interesting, newly released songs in one place.
BRS KASH - "THROAT BABY" (REMIX ft. DABABY & CITY GIRLS) & "KASH APP" (ft. MULATTO)
BRS Kash's 2020 single "Throat Baby" has gone viral, and now it gets a new star-studded remix with new verses from DaBaby and City Girls. On Friday, the Atlanta rapper releases his debut project Kash Only via LVRN, and that also features the just-released "Kash App," featuring fellow ATLien Mulatto. Judging by "Kash App," it looks like Kash has plenty more up his sleeve besides the one viral song.

HUS KINGPIN - PORTISHUS
As the album title, artwork, and some song titles (like "Beth Gibbons") imply, Portishus is a new album by New York rapper Hus Kingpin with production inspired by Portishead's eerie trip-hop. That production style goes well with Hus' '90s-style raps (the end result is not far off from, say, Deltron 3030's psychedelic post-boom bap), as well as those of the album's guests, which include Vinnie Paz, Ransom, Willie The Kid, and more.
