These past few weeks have filled me a deja vu feeling: it feels like Kanye West has brought back G.O.O.D. Fridays. And it reflects in the ‘Smoke & Mirrors‘! Previous editions have been dominated by Pusha T’s Daytona and then Kanye’s own ye. This week’s is no different. I was looking forward to the Kanye West and Kid Cudi collaboration album and Kids See Ghosts did not disappoint. Also, if you’ve not heard of THEY., I strongly suggest you listen to the duo’s debut album, Nü Religion: Hyena, which was a highlight of 2017 to me. Consider it an added bonus to their dope singles I added in here.
If you’re new to this, every week, I try to put together songs that push the envelope, that are dope and that have lots of replay value. Let these joints make your commute smooth and rock you into reflection and meditation. As always, I’ll be back next week.
