It’s hard keeping up with all the new music released each week. When you’ve fallen in love with a certain song, album, or artist, something else drops. It’s a fun time to be a music fan, but also tricky.

Rest easy, though, as BET has you covered with our weekly New Music Mondays post, featuring some of the latest artists, sounds, and trends in hip-hop, r&b, Afrobeat, house and more.

You'll find a familiar (and not-so-familiar) array of artists and emerging music. So, without further ado, here are ten new records to kick off your week with Janelle Monáe, J Hus and City Girls.

Janelle Monáe (feat. Nia Long & Amaarae): "The Rush"On Friday, Janelle Monáe released her highly-anticipated album The Age of Pleasure, which includes the standout song "The Rush," featuring Nia Long and Amaarae.

City Girls: "I Need A Thug"The City Girls are back for the summer, releasing their latest single late last week with "I Need A Thug."

Tyga & YG (feat. Blxst): "Westcoast Weekend"Tyga and YG team up for a smooth new single featuring Blxst called "Westcoast Weekend" just in time for the summer to start.

Amaarae: "Angels in Tibet"Amaarae released her latest album Fountain Baby on Friday, which features the standout song "Angels in Tibet."

BJ The Chicago Kid (feat. Freddie Gibbs): "Liquor Store In The Sky"BJ The Chicago Kid returned last Friday with a brand new single titled "Liquor Store In The Sky," featuring Gary, Indiana rapper Freddie Gibbs.

Kaleena Zanders: "ON THE WALL"EDM artist Kaleena Zanders released her EP Patchwork on Friday, which features the standout song "ON THE WALL."

CEO Trayle: "xXxtortion"Atlanta's CEO Trayle released his latest single on Friday with "xXxtortion." It's the first new song since he released his The Collection Vol. 2 mixtape in March.

Bonus Heat #UpAndComing: Check out Kenny Muney’s brand new song/video “AOGG” It features Tay Keith, and it's one of my new favorites!

Hey kids! Do you like it when your EDM does The Drum Thing? You know, the one that a good half the subgenres are based on and built around?

Thank him.

And then apologize to him because he died penniless in 2006 after never getting squat from the hundreds of artists making millions of dollars off his performance.

And I do mean HIS performance. Not a cover. Not following his example.

See where it says "sample" up there? That's what that means. When you hear the amen break in a song, you are listening to a recording of Coleman playing it in Atlanta in the 60s.

They ain’t lie 🤷🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️

Ken Carson Concert Live Review

Ken Carson's A Great Chaos Tour Concert at Terminal 5: A Night of Pure Energy

It was the Night of August 22, my friend and I were lined up for several hours outside of the terminal 5 venue ready to experience Ken Carson for the first time. Fans of the Atlanta-based rapper were treated to an electrifying performance during his explosive A Great Chaos Tour stop at Terminal 5 in New York City. Nothing short of electric was the sold-out performance at the renowned mid-sized stadium.  They oversold terminal 5 this night so there was an immense amount of people in the crowd. 

A Venue Primed for Chaos

The venue Terminal 5, which is situated in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan, is an amazing fit for Ken Carson's crazy sound. This venue matched his aesthetic perfectly which is dark and mysterious. The venue was so cloudy from all the smoke that you could only see the outline of Ken Carson. I felt like I was trapped in a sea of bodies, my personal space was gone and I was pressed so close to the people around me.

This theater has played host to many well-known acts in a variety of genres, including rock and electronic music, although its layout is most effectively utilized for hip-hop performances. At Ken Carson's set, the pit was a sea of movement, and fans could be seen dancing and waving their hands while the sound of the music echoed off the walls from the balconies.

Ken Carson's Performance: Raw, Unfiltered Energy

Before Ken Carson came on, the concert was opened up by an underground artist named 2hollis.  I barely heard of him before coming into the concert, but he was one of the best live performers I had ever seen.  He has a sound so unique, a mix of EDM, hip-hop and hyperpop (NYS Music).  His sound along with his energetic performance is the perfect opener for a concert like this.  

Ken Carson stormed the stage after 2hollis, opening with "Hardcore," immediately igniting mosh pits throughout the crowd. He played hits like "Me N My Kup" and "Go," as well as songs from his most recent album A Great Chaos, sending the audience into a frenzy. The 808’s hit the crowd so heart it felt like the sound was piercing through my body.  This unique sound appeals to a youthful, rebellious audience.  I felt like one of the oldest ones there as I was surrounded by what looked like to be freshman and sophomores in highschool who had unlimited energy

His live performance at Terminal 5 embodied his artistic vision: it was unvarnished, unrefined, and unrepentant. Carson walked around the stage with the charisma of a rock star, constantly energizing the audience with his infectious enthusiasm (Remixd Magazine).   Fans fed off his intensity, and mosh pits quickly formed throughout the venue. Songs like "Fighting my Demons" and "MDMA" were clear fan favorites, drawing some of the loudest reactions of the night.

The Visuals and Atmosphere

The arena exuded a combination of energy and excitement. The fans embodied the style of Ken Carson's musical universe, with many of them dressed in black streetwear and designer clothing. The audience was youthful, vibrant, and totally engrossed in the show. All of them had endless energy the whole night.

The Audience's Reception

There was unquestionably just one reason why people were at Terminal 5: mayhem. The crowd generated a steady surge of energy that added to Ken’s unrelenting performance, whether they were yelling lyrics at the top of their lungs or charging through the mosh pit. The excitement of the crowd occasionally resulted in near-mayhem, whereupon security intervened to control the raging pit.  I had to take a step back out of the crowd because it was getting too out of control and it felt like I was in the hottest sauna with all the people around me.

Conclusion: A Night to Remember

Fans will never forget the night of Ken Carson's A Great Chaos Tour appearance at Terminal 5. An amazing experience was created by the mix of Carson's captivating stage presence, Terminal 5's immersive environment, and the crowd's unrestrained enthusiasm. It is evident that Ken Carson's live performances play a big role in his appeal as he continues to grow in the rap scene.  As memorable of an experience this was, it is safe to say that I don’t think I would ever go again after experiencing the endless pushing and shoving in the pit.

Something that’s changed a lot in recent times, now that so much music is created online (vaporwave, future bass, electroswing, etc), is that it loses that sense of localized culture. It’s kind’ve a shame because I loved how cities used to become synonymous with the music scenes that they launched; Seattle became known for grunge, San Francisco for psychedelic rock, Detroit for Motown, Atlanta for trap, Birmingham for heavy metal, Düsseldorf for EDM, Washington for emo, Sheffield for industrial, London for dubstep, Kingston for reggae, etc. New Orleans is the birthplace of soul, funk, and R&B, and NYC is defined by everything from disco to punk to new wave to to hip-hop. It’s awesome that music has become so accessible, but it feels like a bit of the magic – that community element – has been lost.
