[Weekly Playlist] 24KGOLDN
West Coast rapper 24KGOLDN first came on our radar when we heard his 2019 single "Workin'" on New Music Friday. We were instantly taken by the hard-hitting rap track about grinding it out.

Now, “City of Angels” – cut from his acclaimed…

Once she settled in London, ABISHA began to find the sense of belonging that had eluded her back home. “For the…
