Keeping track of all the new music that drops every week is a nightmare. I’m here to do it so you don’t have to! Welcome to Nu Musique Friday. Pull up some headphones and stay awhile.

To all my subscribers: Peace! Sorry for the radio silence in your inbox for the last few weeks. It's been a hassle moving Nu Musique Friday from Buttondown to its new home at Ghost, but hopefully, if I did everything right, you're receiving (and opening) this email. That means business is going down as usual and I'ma have weekly roundups and all things going on in the world of CineMasai for you. So let's get to it...

I co-founded a new independent music publication called Hearing Things, which launched exactly a month ago today. My latest piece over there is a review of the new SahBabii album Saaheem. If you like what me and my co-founders are up to, consider subscribing to the site (and paying for it, if you can). We don't bite, promise.

My first book, Reel Notes: Culture Writing on the Margins of Music and Movies, is out right now! Purchase your digital copy on Amazon and read it on the Kindle app (You don't need a Kindle to read it. Buy the book and download the app).

Check out the Reel Notes podcast, dedicated to exploring the relationship between rap and film. The 38th episode, featuring New Jersey author, photographer, and event coordinator T. Eric Monroe, is available now. New episodes drop every Wednesday wherever podcasts are sold, including Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and more via Buzzsprout. Reel Notes is also available via my personal YouTube channel, and Podcasts on Vevo.

If you really wanna be tapped in, join the Reel Notes Patreon! For as little as $5/month, you'll gain access to our Discord server, exclusive interviews and reviews, early access to new episodes, & more.

Reel Notes stands in solidarity with the oppressed peoples of Palestine, the Congo, Sudan, Tigray, and Haiti. Please consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund, The Palestinian Youth Movement, HealAfrica, FreeTigray, and/or Hope For Haiti.

Please consider donating to The Okra Project, an organization dedicated to helping feed Black trans youth.
