It's that time once again friends and folks, for another edition of What's Good. Every week, I drop a bunch of new music on you, some cool stuff from around the web, then I give y'all playlists of the whole shebang to slide into your weekend with. New here? Dive into the archive so far to see what you've missed. Otherwise, jump into this week's haul, starting off with some Bonus Beats (the aforementioned "cool stuff from around the web"):
Bonus Beats
Elaquent stopped by Wooden Tooth Records in Tuscon to record a live beat set ahead of his album Rediscovery, and Mello Music Group took cameras along.
As part of the 10th Anniversary Edition of Random Access Memories, Daft Punk's been posting interviews with their collaborators on the album, and this week it's the legendary Nile Rodgers.
Ron Obasi gives us a glimpse into their studio sessions. If you haven't already tapped in with their latest album THIRTY SUNZ, do so at your earliest convenience.

- BNDCMPR: What's Good for the Week of 10/22
And that'll do it for this week. As always, be sure to share this with your friends and folks, and feel free to let me know what you're rocking with in the comments.
One last thing before I let y'all go, one of my games is part of the Games For Gaza bundle, raising funds for Medical Aid for Palestinians. For just $10, you can not only cop 256 games from 140 creators, but you also can help fund MAP's efforts to provide humanitarian aid and assistance to Palestinians living under occupation, which is especially vital given the ongoing emergency in Gaza.
Since this blog regularly features Hip Hop, and the game I've got in the bundle (SHOOT THE GIFT) is a love letter to the genre, if you drop me a line either here, or via my other social media platforms (I'm DJ Regular everywhere) with proof that you've copped the bundle I'll share an extra gift with you. My YouTube "sample mix" playlist, where I compiled rap videos, regional commercials, and other video ephemera that inspired the game and its world.
In addition to the bundle, please give if you can, spread the word, and put pressure on your representatives to call for a ceasefire and an end to the occupation.
As always, make good choices, and free Palestine.
