New Music Friday: Stream new projects from Wiki & Tony Seltzer, George Riley, King Louie Bankston, and more

Tyler, The Creator has said he’s tired of new music being released on Friday.The rapper spoke to journalist Narduwar about New Music Friday, suggesting that “we should put music out again on Tuesdays instead of Fridays”“I know people think because of the weekend they can listen and stuff, and streams go up,” he reasoned. “I think it’s a lot of passive listening at parties, or [when] people get the time to go to the gym, so they’re not really listening.”Tyler said one advantage to Tuesdays would be that people could listen to music more actively on the way to work or school: “You really have that hour or thirty minutes to really ‘dive in’ and really listen because you know once that’s over you’ve got to get to work.”In 2015, it was announced that new music would be released globally on Fridays.
