What's Good (Week of 2/2/25)
Things are bad all over, including the internet, but occasionally it provides us with wonderful things like hearing from Knxwledge himself that he was holding the loudest of packs while at the Grammys.
Congrats to him and Anderson .Paak on the win.

In addition to this newness, Bandcamp's donating 100% of their revenue share for all purchases made from today until Midnight PT to MusiCares to help artists affected by the Southern California wildfires:
We believe in the power of music to make a difference, so on February 7th, from midnight to midnight PST, 100% of Bandcamp’s proceeds will be donated to MusiCares, an organization providing emergency financial aid, mental health support, and essential health services to artists in need.
You can find more info on Bandcamp's site, and cop a special t-shirt designed by Shepard Fairey.
Without any further hubbub, let's get into it.
Bonus Beats
KNOWER's dropped a little EP collecting a few of their live performances, both from their YouTube house jam sessions, and concerts, and to go along with it they've got a new video of footage from a show last May. You can cop the EP in the music section down below (I've featured "Overtime" in the list, "It Will Get Real" is the last song in the video).
Like dropped a new House tape and put a up a video to accompany it over on his channel. You can cop the audio version over on his Bandcamp ("horizon" is featured in this week's drop).
To go along with last's week feel-good clip for "My Nigga," Fly Anakin released a BTS video for what went on while they were making it. Cameos from Bbymutha and others!
