Memphis music is truly unstoppable, constantly evolving and shaping the soundscape with its rich history and innovative artists. Every month brings fresh talent and exciting new releases, making it clear that the city\u2019s musical legacy is as strong as ever. November has been no exception, with an impressive lineup of projects that showcase the heart and soul of Memphis\u2019 diverse music scene. Here are five standout releases we\u2019ve been playing on repeat this month, and we\u2019re sure you\u2019ll love them as much as we do. Dive in and discover your next favorite Memphis artist!<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Al Green-\u201dEverybody Hurts\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although Al Green\u2019s recently-released cover of R.E.M.\u2019s 1992 classic \u201cEverybody Hurts\u201d was certainly not something we were expecting, the iconic soul singer\u2019s excellent rendition of Lou Reed\u2019s \u201cPerfect Day\u201d from last year gave us at least an inkling that such things were possible. Ever since Johnny Cash scored a late-career hit with his cover of Nine Inch Nails\u2019 dour \u201cHurt,\u201d aging legends have often returned to the deep well of angsty Gen X anthems for inspiration. Count this one amongst the best, especially as Green is able to imbue the song with a sense of optimism. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In his social media posts announcing the song, the good Reverend wrote \u201cRecording \u2018Everybody Hurts,\u2019 I could really feel the heaviness of the song, and I wanted to inject a little touch of hope and light into it. There\u2019s always a presence of light that can break through those times of darkness.\u201d Amen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IMAKEMADBEATS-\u201dMAGIC\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Last week, producer extraordinaire IMAKEMADBEATS made his triumphant return with a mesmerizing performance of his new album WANDS at the Planetarium. As is true with albums such as J. Dilla\u2019s Donuts<\/em>, WANDS <\/em>is best experienced in-full, but to keep with the theme of this article, we\u2019ll suggest starting with \u201cMAGIC,\u201d one of the album\u2019s many stand-outs. If you haven\u2019t check out the album yet (and you absolutely should), think of it as \u201cLo-Fi Hip-Hop Beats to Study and Travel the Cosmos To.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hitkidd-\u201dLookin\u2019 For Ah Trick\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this month, Memphis producer Hitkidd released his newest album Hitkidd For President<\/em>, yet another collection of trunk-rattling bangers that proves crunk is still very much alive. As he\u2019s been known to do in the past, Hitkidd assembled some of Memphis\u2019 baddest women for a posse cut with the undeniably great title \u201dLookin\u2019 For Ah Trick.\u201d Featuring Jucee Froot, La Chat, and the late great Gangsta Boo, Hitkidd transports us back to the elbow-throwing mid-2000s. Also, shout out to Talibah Safiya, who provides a gorgeous outro to the album on the track \u201cLand of the Free.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

General Labor-\u201dCalculator\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From Lost Sounds to NOTS and Optic Sink, Memphis has been a strong breeding ground for kick-ass synth punk bands for a couple of decades now. General Labor, the duo of Thomas Corbin and Elijah Poston, have established themselves as worthy entrants into this tradition, especially with their new album  The Airtight Garage<\/em>. Album opener \u201cCalculator\u201d has been released as the first single and is a perfect summation of the band\u2019s sound and philosophy: using technology to rage against the machines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ISpeakWithAGift Ft. Preauxx- \u201cF.T.O.S.\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

and is a perfect summation of the band\u2019s sound and philosophy: using technology to rage against the machines.I honestly can\u2019t remember if we\u2019ve ever covered the artist ISpeakWithAGift before in this space, but if not, shame on us. The rapper-producer, who has been regularly releasing music for the better part of a decade, has earned a dedicated following with his unique production and smooth flow that seems to grow more skillful with each release. His newest single \u201cF.T.O.S.,\u201d which features an excellent feature from a very hungry sounding Preauxx, is a woozy banger reminiscent of early releases from A$AP Mob. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
