✨ Joel - Mdou Moctar - Tears of Injustice
A scorching blend of desert blues and psychedelic rock on Tears of Injustice, where blistering guitar solos meet soulful vocals in a landscape of longing and resistance. This is music that feels as vast and unforgiving as the Saharan desert, yet utterly captivating. A journey through sonic freedom and heartache.

🎤 Jed - Kendrick Lamar - GNX
I know this technically was released last year, but the Vinyl dropped this month and I can’t fault it.  It’s Kendrick at his best, Gloria  is one hell of a love song! there’s latin influences sprinkled across it all and it just proves why he is the GOAT!
