Hello faithful readers. Welcome to our new bi-monthly series The Better Half. flowsfordays will be curating a playlist showcasing the best SoundCloud releases in the last 15 days (give or take, depending on how many days are in the month.) Instead of perusing through your SoundCloud feed, you will now have a simple way to hear the best of the best in one easy to navigate playlist. All you have to do is press play.

The first half of this month came with a ton of new releases from industry vets such as Isaiah Rashad, Travis Scott and Young Thug among others. As usual we decided to focus on more independent artists (although we sprinkled in a few must listens). Press play and feel free to skip around.
