Listening to "Solitude", "Stars Align" and "Forget Me" in a loop. So, so good.

Swing Ting & Shanique Marie's "Give Thanks" is a nice vibe:

I've completely slept on this whole phenomenon. Is there a painless way to rewatch it?

not sure if this is the full thing because I thought it was a bit longer than an hour, but if you search Beenie man verzuz on YouTube you should find a lot of versions.
they start off with rap and rnb collabs which are ok, I mean it's still entertaining because these guys are kings but when the showtime riddim comes on later it's *rocket taking off emoji*

How about when the cops showed up (I am still wondering if that was real or staged)

I love this Alkaline track from earlier in the year. Even though the lyrics don’t seem to back it up, the title just has to be a Gladys Knight reference, no?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QddyEM61qTQAlkaline ft. Black Shadow • Gladdest Night
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Sunday, 7 June 2020 20:22 (three years ago) link
...or is YouTube commenter "troll ute" right and is this all there is to it:
troll ute 4 months agoGladdest night is a singer bredda so alka a say the girl going to sing on his mic. Get it bredda 😂😂😂
so sad the song...

UPDATE: ah, no - he's just repaying the compliment with interest, I guess:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9o8m1q3JIf8
"Alaskan Pipeline" - get it bredda?
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Sunday, 7 June 2020 20:42 (three years ago) link
Yeah, I like that song too. Alkaline seems to be kinda... back... in 2020?
In other news, I have started loving the new Buju & John Legend. Let's just say it grew on me.:

Buju's new album is a, let's say, mixed bag, but this Lloyd Bradley interview/profile is p interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/jul/02/every-black-man-have-to-fight-buju-banton-on-prison-and-liberation

New Kartel album is kinda hot though. I don't hear a Fever, but a lot of the tracks are extremely catchy.

pretty sure I could listen to that riddim every day for the rest of my life!
Intence "Yeng" is a good time, love the bits of steel pan:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KDHgA4RR7NY
"Blessed" was the best new-to-me track off the first half of the Buju album (I bailed before finishing it I must confess; also "Yes Mi Friend" resonated emotionally):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tzmzKtOaVf4
"what the bloodfire is this a gwaan in America?"
― rob, Friday, 3 July 2020 18:40 (three years ago) link
“Yeng” is great, it is indeed the steel pan that makes it.

'yeng' is my shit, heavy rotation so far this year

haven't enjoyed much from Masicka in a while, but "Just a Minute" is cool:

contra the Aidonia comp discussion upthread, I feel like Govana has really come into his own this year; here's Likkle Bit A Money:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERpkRVPGgJg
more Intence; "Antisocial" is great:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mYfUEtC40MU

Sevana has never really clicked for me, but "Mango" might be an exception:

Definitely intrigued by the idea of hyper-arranged rnb-dancehall
