"Over two years into a killer run of mixtapes, EPs and load- bearing loosies, it's hard to fathom that the crown prince of New York underground rap hasn't dropped an official LP until now. But he takes care to set the 20-track Xavier apart from past releases, foregrounding his own production (on lead single "iPhone 16") and keeping the features list as selective as it is inspired. OsamaSon, Yung Sherman, and Zaytoven under one roof? Consider us enthused."
Significant new releases are available on streaming services this week, including Xavier by xaviersobased, Euphoria Bound by Shackleton, and a new Joyce Manor album. Xavier is a 20-track debut LP that foregrounds xaviersobased's production, features the lead single 'iPhone 16', and includes selective collaborations such as OsamaSon, Yung Sherman, and Zaytoven. Shackleton's Euphoria Bound continues his percussion-forward exploration, pairing experimental jazz sensibilities with heavy bass and spectral vocals after a decade of work via Skull Disco and diverse collaborators. Additional recommended releases to stream include new music from Geologist and Don Toliver.
