This week on the Avenue’s weekly playlist, staff writers have put together a multi-genre jam session of music’s newest hits. The list features songs from both rising stars and household names. K-pop group Blackpink is just reaching new Western success after their dynamic performance at Coachella this year. Similarly, viral hip-hop star Megan Thee Stallion just released her album “Fever” on May 17 and it debuted in the top 10 of the iTunes U.S. albums chart. When talking about new music, it wouldn't be right to forget about DJ Khaled. Many fans of the artist wrote on Twitter that it wouldn’t be summer without a new album from the producer and songwriter, and he did not disappoint. He released his newest project, “Father of Asahd,” last Friday, and it featured many notable collaborations including the recently departed activist and rapper Nipsey Hussle.
