Kamasi Washington has unfeiled “Get Lit,” the latest single from his upcoming album Fearless Movement. The track features funk icon and Parliament Funkadelic member George Clinton and rapper D Smoke. Stream the song below.
In comparison to the meditative, eight-minute “Dream State,” Washington’s previous single featuring André 3000, “Get Lit” is a more straightforward, fun-loving bop. Living up to its name, the tune boasts a dance-worthy groove, swirling production, and an overall celebratory tone, as well as Clinton’s funkadelic performance and D Smoke’s impressive verse.

Accomplished jazz musician Kamasi Washington has confirmed his new album, Fearless Movement, set for release on May 3rd.
Fearless Movement is Kamasi Washington’s first album in six years, and the saxophonist refers to the record as his “dance album”: “It’s not literal,” Washington clarifies in a statement, “Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music —expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.”
Another significant theme of Fearless Movement is new fatherhood, inspired by Washington’s experience having his first child several years ago. In addition to his daughter appearing on the album, Fearless Movement features contributions from André 3000, Thundercat, George Clinton, Bj the Chicago Kid, D Smoke, and fellow member of Washington’s collaborative group Dinner Party, Terrace Martin.

The drug business behind bars is back in full swing on Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown season two episode seven. Drones drop packages of drugs into the yard that are then taken by the Aryan Brotherhood to the kitchen to be broken down for individual sales – all with the guards’ tacit approval.
Bunny (Tobi Bamtefa) meets with Mike (Jeremy Renner) in the prison’s kennels and points out the Aryan Brotherhood’s back in business with the help of technology. Bunny also confirms that he moved the hit off Mike and onto the District Attorney. People are tired of broken promises and now that the way’s clear, Bunny orders Mike to get the paperwork signed and get him out.
The drones are flying overhead, making deliveries every few minutes.

Mike believes he has a plan that will set the wheels in motion to get the gang leaders released as Paramount+’s Mayor of Kingstown season two episode six gets underway. Mike (Jeremy Renner) meets with Wendy (Sandrine Holt) from the Warwick Group and reveals he knows the inmates are being used as slave labor and that even the guard dogs are eating better than the prisoners. Wendy doesn’t care because it’s working and that’s all that matters.
If he doesn’t like it, then he can just move aside.
Mike proposes a deal: if Wendy helps him get Bunny released, then he’ll be in her debt. She just needs to make the Da sign the release. He’s forced to admit he can...

On Inglewood rapper D Smoke’s latest single, “Glide,” he self-soothes with reminders of his resilience. The track debuted Tuesday morning with a performance video on the popular minimalist music platform Colors.
Although the song begins with a cocky hook (“I look sexy when I’m walking through this bitch/I look sexy when I’m moving through your city”), D Smoke goes on to recount moments of struggle and doubt. “Glide” builds into a monument to strength, most titanic when he embodies his mother’s encouragement: “You should know...

What a difference two years make. On 2019’s Mirrorland, Earthgang conjured a stew of Black music idioms – trap, sampled soul, Southern blues, percussive polyrhythms – with audible joy. Breaking into Billboard’s top 40 albums chart, the album established Olu (a.k.a. Johnny Venus) and WowGr8 (a.k.a. Doctur Dot) as one of the more imaginative hip-hop acts to emerge in recent years, albeit one bedeviled by comparisons to Atl’s greatest duo, Outkast. Yes, Olu harmonizes with a yelp reminiscent of Andre 3000 at his most animated. But Earthgang is...
