Over time, BHM has gone under the radar as a cheat code for black artists to lock in. In essence, you can sense the spirit of the ancestors overlooking them in the studio, especially with this week\u2019s releases. This week\u2019s edition of New Music Friday features standout releases from J Cole, Ella Mai, Joji, and many more. Read on to find the latest tracks and albums that dropped this week.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">New Music Friday Picks<\/h2>\n<p><strong>J Cole \u2013 \u2018The Fall-Off\u2019 (Album)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Normally, I would say 24 songs is way too many songs but this album somehow maintained my full attention. Truthfully speaking, this album feels like a full-circle moment as if Cole was building up to this his whole career. To be clear, \u2018The Fall-Off\u2019 won\u2019t be remembered as a classic per se, but more like a career-defining album similar to \u20184:44.\u2019<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"J.

Simply put, their musical relationship has very much run its course as their chemistry is not as prevalent as it once was. In fact, on the first listen it\u2019s almost impossible not to get bored with the same monotonous sound, which makes it feel like a complete drag.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Ella Mai - Outside (Official Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/QvzS-cQgrNk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Joji \u2013 \u2018Piss In The Wind\u2019 (Album)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Initially, when it was first announced that <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/sushitrash?igsh=bDExYjdsNmEwZHdz\">Joji<\/a> would be leaving 88rising, I immediately felt it was a great decision to help maximize\/evolve his sound. In hindsight, it actually didn\u2019t change anything as he refused to take many notable risks on this album as you would hope. It should be noted that this is the longest gap between any of his albums, making it disappointing that he didn\u2019t fully take advantage of the hiatus.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Joji - Last of a Dying Breed (Visualizer)\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/85UJ8Rvfj9g?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">R&amp;B Corner<\/h2>\n<p><strong>PJ \u2013 \u2018Why Do Feelings Matter Anyway\u2019 (EP)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In light of Valentine\u2019s Day being around the corner, everyone should start being proactive about their Valentine\u2019s Day-themed playlist.

Because of this, there was certainly a lot of anticipation for his next release and he definitely delivered. For this reason, it\u2019s about that time to admit he has further separated himself from the underground scene and has begun to put himself in mainstream conversations.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"EsDeeKid - Omens\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/VdU_iaEoBKM?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<p><strong>Wallie the Sensei \u2013 \u201cFed Up\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Historically, West Coast rap has always received the short end of the stick when it comes to receiving proper recognition.
