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.

You can check out James Blake’s private (recorded) parts on Vault, a new artist-to-fan platform that he is publicly comparing to Substack but which seems more like an OnlyFans for receiving aural pleasure.
“About a week ago I went viral with a post about the effects of streaming and TikTok on artists’ ability to support themselves,” Blake said in a post on X (just one X!). As he explained, Vault approached him with a partnership offer where he would offer his fans unreleased music in exchange for $5 a month. Charging audiences to consume music? How retrograde.
“I wanted to find a way for musicians to make money directly from the music they make, not least to be able to reinvest in the very expensive process of renting studios, hiring musicians, etc,” Blake continued. “Music is not cheap to make and I wanted to help incentivize musicians to actually spend more time making music.

Erick the Architect rolled out his latest single from his forthcoming debut solo album I’ve Never Been Here Before on Friday. “Instincts” also features Westside Boogie and explores the possibility of shedding doubt and embracing intuition.

Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has returned with “Parkour,” his first new single of 2023 which is produced by James Blake. Stream the track below.
A reflection of Erick’s journey after moving to Los Angeles from his native Brooklyn, “Parkour” starts with pitched-up vocals that are then slowed down to a sinister tone before the rapper’s normal voice cuts through Blake’s spacy production. On the track, Erick describes coming up in New York City with lyrics like, “When I was growing up, we all had different crews/ I always knew what’s up/ If you down to bust a move.”
Back in 2020, Blake produced the Flatbush Zombies loosie “Afterlife,” after which Erick returned the favor by contributing to “I Keep Calling” on the producer’s EP Before. Prior to “Parkour,” Erick’s most recent solo singles were 2021’s “Self Made” and last year’s “No Ice” featuring Akthesavior.
