We made it through another week, and in addition to a brand new Beyoncé record I'm sure y'all are all on, there's a plethora of other new music for you to dive into with your regular dose of What's Good.

St. Vincent and Dave Grohl are digging into your skin, Shabazz Palaces are on the hunt, Cavalier is reminiscing on weed gone by, Lukah & Real Bad Man reach the Mountain Top, Hiatus Kaiyote don't want to Make Friends, and much much more, but before we get into all that, let's look into some Bonus Beats.

Bonus Beats

Madvillainy turned 20 last week, and to honor DOOM and Madlib's masterpiece, Clash Magazine gathered a number of artists (including AJ Suede, Fatboi Sharif, and the fellows from the Dad Bod Rap Pod podcast) to reflect on its legacy.

The Armed have released a whole new concert film for free on YouTube, Live At The Metro, where they run through joints from their latest album Perfect Saviors and old favorites for a raucous Chicago crowd.

Over on Passion of the Weiss, Jack Riedy sits down with John Luongo to talk his 1979 compilation of Disco remixes for Sly and the Family Stone Ten Years Too Soon, along with his process and eventual movement into licensing.

What's Good alums Soul Glo have the honor of being the first hardcore punk band to do NPR's Tiny Desk, with a performance that also reportedly caused the first mosh pit in NPR Tiny Desk history. Finally, true black excellence has been achieved.

Last month Charli XCX brought the PARTYGIRL experience to Bushwick for Boiler Room, and now it's on YouTube. A full night of club joints with sets from A.G. Cook, George Daniel, Finn Keane, and the lady herself.

Updated because I didn't realize "Goat Me" from Shabazz Palaces had an actual video! Post and playlist have been updated to account for it. Enjoy!
