porque digimon é melhor que pokémon
Solange Knowles 's new album A Seat at the Table officially comes out today, September 30, and it features a whole roster of exciting collaborators.
Like Beyoncé's Lemonade , A Seat at the Table incorporates a wide variety of guests, from industry vets like Lil Wayne and Q-Tip to up-and-coming singers like Moses Sumney and BJ the Chicago Kid. The album's track list notes that a few songs have been 'blessed by' guest vocalists, while others simply list them as featured artists.

Solange's new album grapples with many of the same themes as her big sister's latest: namely, the history of American racism and the challenges inherent in surviving it. Track titles on A Seat at the Table include 'F.U.B.U.,' 'Don't Touch My Hair,' and 'Borderline (An Ode to Self Care).'
Her extensive guest list says a lot about what Solange has been listening to in the years since she last released new music. Here's a guide to her latest collaborators.

Years before her stage name became synonymous with a 140-character quip, Tweet climbed up the charts with her debut single 'Oops (Oh My)' in 2002. She laid low for most of the aughts, but the R&B singer came back to release her third album, Charlene , last February. Tweet is credited on three tracks on Solange's new album: 'Weary,' 'Mad,' and 'F.U.B.U.'

Weezy's been recording since he was a teen in the '90s, though this year he's been more visible as a guest rapper on songs like Ariana Grande's 'Let Me Love You.' On A Seat at the Table , he features on 'Mad.'
