What's Good (Week of 11/8/26)
Welcome on in to this week's edition of my weekly new music blog, What's Good, where I bring you the dopest new joints I've come across, along with some musical odds and ends from all over the web. First of all though, rest in peace Young L of The Pack. A Bay Area luminary, gone entirely too soon.

New Albums
- Aesop Rock & Blockhead

- ZelooperZ & Black Noi$e
New Singles

And a whole lot more, but before we get into the new drops, let's take a look at the aforementioned odds and ends, with some Bonus Beats.

Bonus Beats
Bad Brains' earliest studio recordings, Are You Ready?, have been given an official release, and Ian MacKaye sat down with bassist Darryl Jenifer at the DC Public Library to discuss it as well as the DC punk scene's early days.
Robyn blessed NPR's Tiny Desk with a short set of songs split between this year's Sexistential and classics, including "Show Me Love."
Speaking of blessings, Danielle Ponder came to COLORS and lit the studio up with a performance of the title track from her sophomore album Everything Has Changed.
