Short, fast and sweet, feel free to hit replay on this legendary Friday Beat: The White Stripes, 'Fell in Love with a Girl.' Fleeting like the lyrics and reflective of lust, Rolling Stone magazine listed the song as one of the forty songs that changed the world!
This Friday we're kicking back and enjoying the Black Panther soundtrack from Kendrick Lamar. Featuring a variety of guests including The Weeknd, SZA and Khalid, each song in its own is a hit we can't get enough of. Check out 'All The Stars' for a killer film clip.
This Friday it's not just one beat that's got us going, it's the full album 'SYRE' from Jayden Smith. Jaden's debut studio album, was three years in the making and is full of chaotic beats in the right way that will put your mind in an alternative reality.
