Rest easy, though, as BET has you covered with our weekly New Music Mondays post, featuring some of the latest artists, sounds, and trends in hip-hop, r&b, Afrobeat, house and more.
You'll find a familiar (and not-so-familiar) array of artists and emerging music. So, without further ado, here are ten new records to kick off your week with Janelle Monáe, J Hus and City Girls.
