El-P knows that honesty is the best policy.  On Tuesday afternoon, the rapper/producer shared a quick update on Run the Jewels‘ much-anticipated fourth studio album. The good news is that the project is definitely on the way. The bad news? It won’t arrive before the year’s end. El-P made the announcement via social media, claiming he wanted […]

Georgia singer-songwriter Jacquees launched the Twittersphere into an exhausting debate on Monday, after declaring himself the “King of R&B.”  Trey Songz and Ty Dolla Sign quickly stepped in for a word, people exposed themselves for suggesting Bryson Tiller was better than Usher, and the wisest among us nodded resolutely toward the alter of King Beyoncé.  But Diddy is dismissing […]

Young Thug is one of the most prolific rappers to ever release music, but even so, a lot of what he records doesn’t even see the light of day. In a new interview with Virgil Abloh and Thom Bettridge for Interview Magazine, the Atlanta rapper revealed that he’s recorded “15,000” songs throughout his career. When asked how he manages […]

A few major albums have recently dropped, including Meek Mill’s CHAMPIONSHIPS, Lil Baby’s Street Gossip, Ski Mask the Slump God’s Stokeley, and the 1975’s A Brief Inquiry into Online Relationships.

It’s been a hectic year for Cardi B, who gave birth to her first child Kulture, separated from her husband Offset, dominated the charts, and feuded with Nicki Minaj. That latter has been a thorn in her side for a good while now, and during a new segment on CBS Sunday Morning, she addressed the situation […]

Though Matt Skiba has already given us an arguably more fascinating angle to explore with regards to the Great Fyre Festival Fuckery of 2017, Netflix has stepped in with another wrinkle: a full-blown documentary from the same guy behind the excellent Jim & Andy: The Great Beyond. Chris Smith’s Fyre was produced in conjunction with […]

A desire to work with Kid Cudi that’s so strong that you simply, without hesitation, publicly ask him to make it happen? Relatable. That was the move for Juice WRLD over the weekend, who hasn’t yet—at least, not publicly—received a response from Cudi. “I need to work w you,” WRLD said in a tweet, adding a pair of black […]

Cardi B doesn’t suffer fools and that goes double for the types who peddle conspiracy theories about her recent split with Offset. Cardi took to Instagram Live to head off the idea that she separated from her husband for the press it would generate.  “I just really hate how people say we trying to do […]
