The edgy but earnest Indonesian-American rapper further leans into his identity on his first album in six years, welcoming a variety of guests on his trek through self-actualization.

Marissa Nadler, New Radiations
The gothic songwriter’s latest collection of bad-dream vignettes feels like a return to the mold she was cast in as she wrestles with the current state of her country through obscured lyrics.
