A good listen from beginning to end.

One of Inglewood, California's finest has dropped off his third studio album. SiR's Chasing Summer is upon us, the follow-up to his January 2018 November release. The 32-year-old singer-songwriter has proven to be a formidable force for TDE, and this latest submission demonstrates just that.

SiR, real name Sir Darryl Farris, had previously shared his smooth, Kendrick Lamar-assisted single "Hair Down," a track that serves as the introduction of Chasing Summer. The album's title serves as a perfect descriptor for the remainder of the album. During a time when people complain that it's difficult to find R&B that they can connect to, SiR confirms that there are still crooners offering up R&B contenders that won't be recycled like yesterday's news.

There are a handful of features, some are recognizable, others may be unfamiliar: Kendrick Lamar, Smino, Lil Wayne, Jill Scott, Zacari, Kadhja Bonet, and Sabrina Claudio. Check it out and let us know your thoughts.
