Nightmare Vacation
There is a wonderful excitement to be had with an artist that is capable of doing so many things, and does all of them well.
Rico Nasty isn't my single favorite rapper yet but I do know that looking forward, I don't see anything she can't do.

Listen to her here on two different Dylan Brady beats to hear what I mean.

Let It Out:
Nightmare Vacation, her first official studio album after a string of solid mixtapes, is available now.

Jessy Lanza - All the TIme
Jessy Lanza has released her new album, All The Time. Sure to be the future of hundreds of samples, just like the hundreds of samples that pushed her to this point. Whenever I can dance in public again, I hope it is to this.
The video for "Over and Over":
A Boiler Room set from the back of her mini-van:

RIP McCoy Tyner
Just wanted to commemorate the work of jazz pianist McCoy Tyner for a brief moment.
Words generally fail me when it comes to a figure so titanic.
Here is my best shot:
Each movement of his hands was equally explosive and refined. I've seen his playing descirbed as "violent" but with his level of precision and care, that word never seemed apt. Volatility has never been so gently harnessed as when made music.
Stupid football analogy because I can't help myself. Randy Moss caught footballs like McCoy Tyner played the piano: with endless imagination and unique physical command. They changed what we imagined was possible and did it with an almost inhuman ease.
RIP McCoy Tyner
I have made a playlist that only scratches the surface of his sterling career, from his solo work to his work with Coltrane to many session recordings for other band leaders. Every selection is him at his best (he never had just one "best”).

ARCA PRESENTS @@@@@ - DIVA EXPERIMENTAL FM
Musician/Producer/Icon Arca has shared an hour of new music, full of dark ambient smashes and raucous club music. It is her first new music released publicly since 2017.
Highly recommended.
Listen Here
Update: Arca has released a little context about the project and a "tracklist" so to speak:
@@@@@ out now on DSPs,— ⚧ (@arca1000000) February 21, 2020
1 song, the whole is a musical quanta
constituted by discrete musical quantums;
a quantum is the minimum amount of any physical entity involved in an interaction.
Each quantum on @@@@@ has a title: pic.twitter.com/Lu7HJwfISZ
