Adan Drops New Song “Goodnight Moon”| Music Leaks| @adanbean @trackstarz

Poet and emcee Adan Bean is predictably unpredictable. While many are awaiting a full length project, one can always count on Adan to drop songs on his birthday. 2017 is no exception, as Mr. Bean teams up with Van Hunt for the song “Goodnight Moon” with DJ Opdiggy on the production. Adan had this to say about the song “This is for those of us who believe we’re getting better with time. The night…

Tity and Dolla - Isaiah Rashad (feat. Hugh Augustine & Jay Rock)

Off of Isaiah Rashad’s new album The Sun’s Tirade.

Drowning (feat. BADBADNOTGOOD) - Mick Jenkins 

Mick Jenkins and BADBADNOTGOOD team up again after “On The Map” and “Hyssop of Love” [see later] Look out for Mick’s debut album The Healing Component, September 23rd!

Sweet Sweet - Travi$ Scott

https://itun.es/us/b2AJeb?i=1150135919

Fresh off of his first #1 album, Birds In The Trap Sing McKnight, Travi$ does not seize to deliver. As quoted as “his favorite song off of the album”, it may be mine as well.

Because I’m Me - The Avalanches 

The Avalanches - Because I'm Me [Wildflower] from faustidioteque on Vimeo.

The first track off of my favorite album of the summer, Wildflower, which was their first album in 16 years! Jam out to some great spirits this morning.

Sunny Duet (feat. theMIND) - Noname

Named perfectly. A very sunny sounding track by Noname off of her debut project Telefone. One of my favorite female MC’s for a while.

Hyssop of Love (feat. Mick Jenkins) - BADBADNOTGOOD

The second collaboration between BADBADNOTGOOD and Mick Jenkins for BBNG’s album, IV. Just a vibe-y track with Mick Jenkins referencing “Perception” off of his last EP, Waves.

In My Shoes - Fudge

Comprising of Michael Christmas and producer Prefuse 73, the duo’s new album, Lady Parts, has definitely been in constant rotation. “In My Shoes” serves as their first single, and a great brushing teeth track if that’s what you’re into. 

Only Human - Innanet James 

I can’t even act like I know a lot about Innanet James, but I can tell you this, this dude is next to come up! In my opinion he sounds like a mix of Anderson Paak, GoldLink and Vince Staples, if that makes any sense. This track off of his newest mixtape, Quebec Place, may be my favorite. From the funky production to the woken lyrics, this is a great way to start your morning.

Wyclef Jean - Young Thug

Come on...how could this not be on this list? The first track off of Thugger’s newest project, Jefferey, gives you nothing but great vibes. Shout out to Wyclef by the way. Fugee-la-la

Bus In These Streets - Thundercat

I don’t know if it’s me, but I can’t help but smile when hearing this song. The sunny production and Thundercat’s melodic voice create the perfect duo for eating that morning breakfast.

Don’t worry people, First Spins is not done, and not even close. Last Wednesday we launched First Spins radio through Spreaker! 

I [Brando] will be trying to at least two shows a week, and you check our Twitter for updates when to tune into a show. Our first two shows feature new songs from Frank Ocean, Mac Miller, Danny Brown, Isaiah Rashad, and more!
