Don Toliver's Album Drop 'Life of Don' 

Releasing only his second studio album and third music project, Life of Don was propagated to have high expectations and rumored to include some impressive features. Though Don didn't disclose any of his features until the album's release, fans are still thrilled to hear tracks including Baby Keem, Kali Uchis, and even two featuring Travis Scott. The rollout for Life of Don began with his hit release of 'What You Need' back in May, and then followed up with quite a few teasers, hinting at the album's name and a potential release date. Life of Don dropped today, October 8 and is now available to stream.

James Blake's Album about Heartbreak, ' Friends That Break Your Heart'

Also exciting fans with a big drop, singer-songwriter James Blake released his new album this Friday, expressing some of the emotions he's felt after relationships faltered during the Covid-19 Pandemic. Delivering songs dealing with frustration and sorrow, Friends That Break Your Heart provides fans with extremely relatable, yet still captivating, songs.
