Happy Friday everyone from InPear Music and All Songs considered. I'm Robin Hilton. I am here with Contributor Serena Turo,

Say Serena. Hey Robin. WXPN's John Morrison. Hey, what's up Robin.

And Radio Milwaukee's Tereek Moody.

Oh, he Robin.

It's new music Friday our last episode of the year, not a ton of music comes out in these last few weeks of the year

and we devote December to our best of 2022 coverage.

But today we're looking at the best releases out now on November 18th, starting with the rapper Roddy Rich.

He's back with a new album today called Feed the Streets 3. This is the song King Size.

Yeah, Roddy Rich. Compton based rapper. I know he's 24 and know all the stuff he's been through. I couldn't stop thinking about takeoff.

I have to take off past the way and some of the stuff that he said about Suicide and Exiting and some of the stuff he's been through. I really, I hope he's in a good place basically.

He's a father now. I pray to God that nothing happens to him. I hope he lives a long life and becomes a great father.

But on this album, I was trying to find the sensitivity of Roddy Rich and I felt like I found on tracks that really spoke to me fade away and letter to my son.

I just want to take your pain away. Tell you that you're beautiful, but just every day. I tell God that you're the greatest that he ever made.

I hope that it's never going fade away.

Fade away even though it's like it has playful lyrics. You really hear his sensitivity even at the tender age of 24.

Yeah, I listened to it. I was immediately struck with this thread of deep sadness that ran through this record. You know, like he's talking about getting money and like balling out and all of that.

But underneath all of that, there's this reservoir of pain that colors a lot of these songs. And I guess if you could sum up hip hop or black music in general, you know what I mean?

I guess this kind of theme that goes through it, but yeah, that's immediately what I saw and felt listening to a lot of these songs.

Well, he closes the record with letter to my son and to me, when I got to that moment on the album, it just refrained the entire album for me.

I ain't got no choice. I gotta be there for my son. I can't put too much pressure on you.

I just let's just for you. I want you to know that you don't want learning the importance of spending time at the park.

I ain't have a daddy. I ain't no where to start. Yours the main life. I want a party that make you proud. I'm still trying in my hardest.
