I try to spend an hour a day listening to new music I haven't heard before. It's hard to keep up with the deluge of new releases that come out each week. There are still thousands of songs in my music collection that I've never given a full playing to.
Things were easier when I only listened to reggae music and it was possible to keep up with the new releases. Over the past couple of decades I've become more a generalist and I try to keep track of the latest music from nearly every musical genre. It's an impossible task to stay current on so many varieties of contemporary music. I'm still finding some excellent album releases from 2011 & 2012 that I didn't have time to listen to the first time around.
