Guardian's 50 best new June tracks

Lady Lykez

Apart from tracks we already picked out (Slowthai, JARV IS..., Skepta, Tyler, the Creator...), Guardian makes a colourful choice of June's 50 best new tracks. There's summer-bangers in the making ('Why Don't You Just Call Me' Antony & Cleopatra), pop-rock ('Playground' Steve Lazy), metal bangers (Slipknot and Employed to Serve), although the London paper thinks we should first take notice of new Sleater-Kinney, rap big-mouth Megan Thee Stallion, acoustic guitarist Bill Callahan, folk-rocker Jake Xerxes Fussell, an unusual banjo-European world music collaboration by Rhiannon Giddens and Francesco Turrisi, west-coast rapper YG, an awesome British MC Lady Lykez (just watch her freestyle), and Chance the Rapper. Listen to snippets of all the 50 songs here.
