Frank Ocean’s Blonde, though its carefully assembled inner workings are unquestionably timeless, turned five entire years young back in August. And while any true fan is fully supportive of great work often taking great amounts of time, it’s hard to deny that detailed updates about the follow-up—especially if the latest report turns out to be […]

The Roc Nation School of Music, Sports & Entertainment at Long Island University has unveiled its first back-to-school merch collection for the fall 2021 semester.  The collection features t-shirts, sweaters, hoodies, shorts, socks, hats, beach towels, notebooks, water bottles, and more. As detailed in a press release, proceeds from purchases of collection pieces will be directed […]

Usher has weighed in on the proposed Verzuz showdown between Jermaine Dupri and Sean “Diddy” Combs. Dupri took to social media this week to seemingly challenge Diddy to a music battle, saying the Bad Boy Records boss will “need some training for me.” Diddy responded to the video by declaring Dupri an unworthy opponent, and that the only artist he’d go up against would […]

Ja Rule and Fat Joe faced off last night in the latest installment of Verzuz, as the two rappers went hit-for-hit at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York City. During the battle, Ja’s bitter rival 50 Cent started trending on social media, which didn’t sit well with Irv Gotti. The Murder Inc. Records boss took to Instagram to blast internet trolls […]

Doja Cat is aiming to be “really careful” about she collaborates with in the future. In a recent interview conducted amid coverage of her 2021 MTV Video Music Awards hosting (and performing) stint, the Planet Her artist was asked about the collaborations already in her catalog and who else she wants to create with. “I’ve been trying […]

South London-born singer, songwriter and rapper Ling Hussle has unveiled her new project, I Hope You Like This—a strictly R&B, six-track offering from the sometimes rapper. Just like June’s Still Here EP, Ling’s latest is another featureless venture. But make no mistake: she packs enough vocal charm and vigour for two.  The EP opens up with the relationship thesis “Fool”; Ling’s […]

Ja Rule and Fat Joe faced off tonight in the latest installment of Verzuz, as the two rappers went hit-for-hit at Madison Square Garden’s Hulu Theater in New York City. Tuesday’s battle comes on the heels of last month’s match-up between Dipset and The LOX, which was also done in front of a live audience. As expected, Ja leaned on his catalog […]

Virgil Abloh took to Instagram on Tuesday to share an intimate jam session courtesy of BadBadNotGood, Kid Cudi ​​​​​​, and ASAP Nast. “Inspired to keep curating these different nights out around music-music instead of just music,” Virbil captioned the IG video. “I had my friends @badbadnotgood set the tone last night. @asapnast & @kidcudi impromptu. Was different, really different.” The video […]

A clip from popular TikTok user La’Ron Hines starring 42 Dugg has gone viral, after Hines asked the rapper his trademark question—“Are you smart?”—and got a surprising response. In the video, when Hines lobbed the question to Dugg, he immediately said, “No.”  “You supposed to say yes, bro!” Hines said, asking again, “Are you smart?” “No, again,” Dugg said, […]

Children Of Zeus—everyone’s favourite soul-rap duo from Manchester—are back with the visuals for “I Need You”, one of the highlights from their critically acclaimed sophomore album, Balance. Tyler Daley’s smooth vocals lead the neo-soul, R&B-glazed soundscape, whilst Konny Kon comes through with a husky rap verse over the COZ-produced beat.  Directed by Gina Snow, the accompanying visuals breathe new life and perspective into […]
