Clipse, Let God Sort Em Out
Paired with familiar high-gloss minimalism courtesy of producer Pharrell Williams, Pusha T and Malice’s first album in 16 years stands up fairly well as an assured re-up of their rap powers.

Nilüfer Yanya, Dancing Shoes
A follow-up to last fall’s full-length, this four-song EP sees the London-based songwriter strengthening her case for pop-chart status while continuing to prove that that’s not her goal.
