Youtooz Jack Harlow Vinyl Figure WHATS POPPIN
It’s been a minute since Jack Harlow released new music, the Pooh Shiesty collab “SUVs (Black on Black),” last August. And for fans of the Louisville, KY-native rapper, his newest single, “Nail Tech,” is a promise of a big 2022. This is his first proper, solo single since “Tyler Herro.” It comes on the heels of his announced brand ambassador partnership with New Balance. While we wait for a new album, pick up his debut album, That’s What They All Say, on Ruby Red, black, or Lemonade Yellow vinyl.
BAPE x Kid Cudi Tee Black
Who needs Kanye? Not Kid Cudi. Amid some social media feuding with the mercurial West, Cudi teamed up with BAPE founder NIGO for a new, Pharrell-produced track, “WANT IT BAD,” from NIGO’s upcoming musical project I KNOW NIGO. In addition to the new single, Cudi is set to release two new albums this year, and debuting his clothing line, Members of the Rage. In the meantime, grab Man on the Moon I, II, and III to prepare for everything Mr. Mescudi has planned this year.
Kanye West Jeen-Yuhs Hoodie Black
Kanye West. The polarizing public figure has been at it again on social media in the run-up to the release of two projects: Donda 2 and the Netflix documentary jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy. And if you decide to pass on the Donda 2, we have College Dropout, Late Registration, 808 & Heartbreaks, and My Beautiful Twisted Dark Fantasy to give you all the Old Kanye feels you may be missing.
Best New Music Releases This Week
alt-J The Dream (The Nightmare Edition) LP Vinyl Blac/Purple
The lads from Leeds are back with their fourth album, The Dream, a suite of songs focusing on cryptocurrency, love, loss, revenge, and Coca-Cola. It’s been five years since the band’s previous release, and the time away seems to have recharged the band’s creative batteries on tracks like “Hard Drive Gold,” “U&ME,” and “Losing My Mind.” If you’ve been wondering what happened to vintage 2012-2014 alt-J, you’ll be pleased to discover they never left.
Daft Punk Discovery LP Vinyl
Daft Punk is dead. Long live Daft Punk. First released in March 2001, Discovery now receives the reissue treatment. Although reviews were mixed upon initial release, Discovery has become the consensus choice as the duo’s masterpiece two decades later. Also, this album introduced the robot avatars the pair adopted over the next 20 years. In addition to this album, check out their movie soundtrack for Tron: Legacy as a double LP or Target exclusive transparent blue LP.
Most Expensive Music Product This Week
OVO Jurassic Park Varsity Jacket Black
Handcrafted by iconic NBA jacket designer Jeff Hamilton, Drake’s OVO line dropped this vegan leather varsity jacket in November 2021 as a part of an OVO x Toronto Raptors collection made in partnership with Universal Pictures. Hamilton’s jacket features OVO, Raptors, and Jurassic Park logos with a red-and-black Toronto skyline, and the city’s “416” area code on the collar. Pair this jacket with the Jordan 4 Retro Raptors Drake OVO when Jurassic World Dominion hits theaters this June.
Most Popular Products This Week
No surprise here. With the impending release of Donda 2, Kanye announced that the album would only be available via the Donda Stem Player. Whether or not the album appears on its announced release date, this is still a great product to let your inner-producer create brand-new, Kanye-approved beats.
Kid Cudi Man on the Moon 2: The Legend of Mr. Rager 2xLP Vinyl Black
The second album in Kid Cudi’s Man on the Moon trilogy was released in 2010. Featuring support and guest spots from Mary J. Blige, Kanye West, and St. Vincent, among others, the album jumped up the most popular ranks, no doubt in part, to Kanye’s social media logorrhea. Looking back to the halcyon days of 2010, you can put this album on and not have to worry about taking sides when former friends feud.
With an ever-increasing amount of music available on StockX, you’re going to need some way to listen to it all.
