We’ve almost made it to the weekend. I’m Tetris Kelly for Billboard News, it’s Friday, September 15th, which means we’ve got new music and our Friday music guide. Drake surprised us with his first SZA collab. It’s called “Slime You Out” from his upcoming album ‘For All the Dogs.’ We’ll have more new music throughout the show, but first let’s get to our top story.

Previous acts to play NPR’s ‘Tiny Desk’ include Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Dua Lipa and so many more icons. It’s the first ‘Tiny Desk’ performance since creator Bob Boylan announced his retirement. V’s not the only BTS member making moves: SUGA just launched his collab with the NBA. You can get some merch for your favorite teams with that BTS spin now, but you gotta hurry because they’re flying off the shelves.
