The finest releases out on March 24 : All Tracks Deemed : NPR

It can be been five several years given that the Atlanta rapper and singer 6Deficiency dropped a entire-size challenge, but he is back this week with the emotional and brilliantly produced Because I Have A Lover. We listen to quite a few cuts from throughout the album to open up this week’s exhibit and communicate about the techniques 6Deficiency employs intimacy and honesty to, as Radio Milwaukee‘s Tarik Moody states, reveal the “complexities of Black males” in The us.

We have also received Lana Del Rey’s long-awaited album Did you know that you will find a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, R&B singer Yaya Bey, deep drones from the Irish folks group Lankum and extra.
