Best New Music Releases
adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Static
It always feels like we’re experiencing peak Ye. In the last week, Donda 2 released exclusively on the Donda Stem Player, the rapper still managed to be the most-streamed artist on Spotify two days in a row, and the Yeezy Gap x Balenciaga collection dropped. This new streaming feat comes two months after becoming the first artist to have his first 10 albums achieve one billion streams on the platform. And now we’re getting a restock of the adidas Yeezy Boost 700 V2 Static. One thing we can say about Kanye: the man stays busy.
Nike Hot Step Air Terra Drake NOCTA White
Champagne Papi is back and now he’s ready to offer his highly anticipated Nike Hot Step Air Terra Drake NOCTA White silhouette. Drake first teased the sneaker way back in 2020 in his “Laugh Now, Cry Later” video with Lil Durk. The NOCTA sneaker also comes in black, so you can cop them both and prove your allegiance to the world’s favorite Certified Lover Boy.

Pink Floyd The Piper at the Gates of Dawn Mono Vinyl LP Vinyl Black
In honor of its 55th anniversary, a new reissue of Pink Floyd’s 1967 debut, The Piper at the Gates of Dawn, dropped. This mono reissue updates the 2017 Record Store Day release with standard vinyl packaging instead of the special edition packaging from 2017. Most importantly, it maintains the sonic punch of the mono mix approved by the band. And no, you can’t sync the album to The Wizard of Oz, but it’s still a certified classic.
