HNHH TIDAL Wave: Benny The Butcher & T.I. Provide This Week’s Soundtrack

Another week filled with incredible music releases.

Despite the world looking bleak with an election in a couple of weeks and a pandemic continuing to keep us stationed at home, we’ve got a decent soundtrack to keep us entertained and sharp.

Last week saw full-length album releases from Griselda’s Benny The Butcher and the King of the South T.I., as well as new singles from YSL Records’ standout Lil Keed, the outstanding Black Thought, and more. Each of them is featured on the brand new update of the TIDAL-exclusive TIDAL Wave playlist.

Our staff always ponders over all of the recent releases for a weekly update of the playlist and, as always, our eclectic range of tastes made for a pretty fun playlist to curate. On one end, we’ve got lyrical rappers tearing things up and, on the other, R&B singers come through as PARTYNEXTDOOR, Queen Naija, and Victoria Monét make appearances this week.

Listen to the new playlist update below and let us know whose personal list is the best this week.

Kieran James Honors Memory with “Part of the Grind”

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

Set to delicate instrumentation and achingly sung vocals, “Part of the Grind” is both a lament and an honoring, a means of remembering while addressing the unavoidable cost of time and illness. His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
