Today is new music friday, fit check friday, and music rec friday. Every Friday Iâll try to send a recap of the songs that I (or other guests) have been listening throughout the week. This week we have recs from two fellow music club members (MĂłnica & Salvador). I hope to encourage to listen to tracks you havenât listened to yet and maybe help you discover your new favorite artist.
Letâs get this bread and the music recs flowing.
Taking Trips - Vince Staples
Vince Staples has always been a solid but underrated rapper. His chill approach to todayâs hyper-content music industry has cost him some much-appreciated recognition, but boy is he due. His new self-titled project is a smooth and easy flowing record. Produced by his longtime friend Kenny Beats, the song gives that So-Cal vibe we all yearn during summer. This song, and record, is a must listen.
Tryna Smoke - Jhené Aiko
Every day is 4/20 when listening to this jam by Jhené Aiko. Her relaxed R&B sound, smooth bass line and hypnotic vocals will have you vibing and ready to lounge the entire weekend.

Magic of Meghan - Dry Cleaning
Do you remember the first time you heard a rock song and thought: âfuck, rock is coolâ? Well after some time away from the genre, this track reminded me rock is cool. The debut single of Dry Cleaning is a great yet simple combination of a guitar chord and the vocalistâs, Florence Shaw, low tone voice. The song was composed when she moved out of her exâs apartment the same day Meghan Markle and Prince Harry announced they were engaged. Dry Cleaning also just released a new album you should check out.
U.N.I.T.Y. - Queen Latifah
Our generation grew up thinking Queen Latifah was a funny and cool actress in American movies. The reality is that she was one of the first women rappers who broke through the male-dominated hip hop scene of the 90s. This song is proof why she did so in such spectacular fashion, such so she was able to transition to the big screen.
Rap Snitch Knishes ft. Mr. Fantastik - MF DOOM
Itâs MF DOOM.
Just remember ALL CAPS when you spell the manâs name.
