Yolisa Mkele's verdict on which new tracks and albums are worth adding to your playlist

ALBUMS
PUSHA T - DAYTONA
An easy contender for rap album of the year so far, this album is proof that there is still space for high-density, lyrically driven hip-hop. At seven tracks long it is bite sized but each morsel tastes like high-quality cocaine from the '80s. It is good enough to make you forget the anticlimactic way his beef with Drake ended.
KID CUDI AND KANYE WEST - KIDS SEE GHOSTS
The latest in an unending stream of albums being released by GOOD Music record label sees controversial rapper Kanye West teaming up with his long-time collaborator and muse Kid Cudi with lukewarm results.
It's not a bad album but it doesn't set one's emotions on fire. Mind you, after three projects in three weeks and more to come, that could just be Kanye West-induced fatigue.
