It’s been a long time coming, but RV has now dropped off his new tape, Rico Vondelle, and it’s a stunning showcase of what the North Londoner can do when he’s in the driving seat. For the most part, RV’s the star of the show—as he should be—but there’s still a good few collabs and one or […]

Fresh off the release of her first full-length Spanish-language project, Revelación, Selena Gomez has treated herself to some new body art. Celebrity tattoo artist Keith “Bang Bang” McCurdy took to Instagram to reveal the 28-year-old singer’s new ink, sharing a video that shows a black cross on Selena’s collarbone. “We [heart] @selenagomez,” McCurdy captioned the footage. In the video, Selena can […]

Issa Rae has revealed the surprising inspiration behind her Rap Sh*t comedy series. In her new cover story for Rolling Stone, the entertainment multi-hyphenate confirmed she began writing the show in response to Jermaine Dupri’s controversial comments about women MCs. Durpi faced widespread backlash in 2019, when he suggested the new wave of female rappers were indistinguishable and unworthy of a hip-hop […]

A few years ago Nick Murphy took a break from the Chet Faker moniker, opting to release music under his birth name for the years that followed.

South London sonic auteur Cleto Maréz has been crafting beats and soundscapes for a little while now. His Sonic Dissertation on Black Reality for Black Discourse—which stirred together City Girls and Slick Rick with soundbites from the likes of Toni Morrison and Darcus Howe, should give you a pretty good primer of what Marez is about—but before you do that, […]

Machine Gun Kelly is getting into the nail polish business. According to Page Six, the 30-year-old entertainer has teamed up with Unlisted Brand Lab to create a nail polish line called UN/DN. Unlisted founder/CEO Candy Harris announced the news in a press release this week, shortly after the brand began teasing the MGK collaboration. “We’re honored to be working with MGK […]

Chris Brown has another lawsuit on his hands.  According to legal documents obtained by TMZ, the 31-year-old singer is being sued over an alleged dog attack involving two people he hired to clean his home. The plaintiff, Patricia Avila, claims she and her sister were hired to clean Browns’ Tarzana, California, home for $600 a day. She says they […]

After dropping off their sixth studio album Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine last Friday, Brockhampton is back with the visuals for their single “Count on Me.” The music video, which was directed by Dan Streit and Kevin Abstract, stars Lil Nas X and Dominic Fike taking a romantic trek into the woods to get trippy off what appears to be some hallucinogens and do […]

Funkmaster Flex found himself involved in Drake and Meek Mill’s feud in 2015, when the DJ played a reference track for “10 Bands” on-air as further proof that Meek’s accusations of Drizzy having a ghostwriter were true. This led to Drake responding with “Charged Up” and “Back to Back” in just a few days’ time. Meek would […]

Over the past decade and a bit, the resourcefulness of British music, particularly Black British music, has made it the cultural powerhouse it is today.
