Watch Bktherula’s “TAN” video
Bktherula is back with her first new solo song since gracing The FADER's GEN F profile series. "TAN" rides a beat equal part cyberpunk and SpaceGhostPurrp, with BK matching the distorted menace in her boisterous lyrics that stress her authority over everyone else in the room. The music video acts like Bktherula's own episode of Cribs, if she lived on a boat docked somewhere deep in a remote waterfront suburb. Watch above. BKtherula's new tap LVL 5, PT. 1 drops February 27 via Warner.

Chlöe has announced details of her debut album, In Pieces, and shared new single "Pray It Away." The album, released via Beyoncé's Parkwood Entertainment/Columbia Records, is due in March. "Pray It Away" is a bittersweet moment in which Chlöe, reeling from heartbreak, turns to God for answers.

EST Gee shares new singles “Blow Up” and “If I Stop Now”
It's hard to view “Blow Up” and “If I Stop Now,” the new songs from Kentucky rapper EST Gee, as anything other than an attempt to reassert his dominance as one of the strongest and most versatile street rappers working today. Fortunately, his effort is pretty convincing.

Lil Yachty shares “sAy SOMETHINg” video
Lil Yachty's early career choices have continued to haunt him. Initially, he didn't run away from those who labeled him the godhead of mumble rap when he blew up in 2016 with "Minnesota" and "One Night," and mostly embraced the ascribed aura of a happy-go-lucky teen making low-stakes music. The result: no matter how many impressive lead lyrical performances he turned in or features he ate up, to some Yachty would always be the harbinger of rap's clout-chasing era, a clown right to the tips of his once-Flamin' Hot Cheeto-dyed hair.

Song You Need: Zach Bryan and Maggie Rogers are looking for a win on “Dawns”
The FADER’s “Songs You Need” are the tracks we can’t stop playing. Check back every day for new music and follow along on our Spotify playlist. Zach Bryan is a country-folk singer who releases music at a rate that would put some rappers to reconsider their work ethic. Last year his major label debut American Heartbreak crashed the Top 20 of the Billboard album chart despite, or perhaps in part down to, its epic 34-song tracklist and 2hr-plus running time. If that didn't leave you full, he followed it up with another EP in the summer and a live album (the excellently-titled All My Homies Hate Ticketmaster). Listening to the crowds roar his hearty anthems back at him during that Red Rocks concert it is clear he has managed to turn a fairly new form of sharing music, streaming, into a far older one, touring until you don't remember the last time you slept in your own bed.
