We first heard Khalid‘s Disclosure-produced lead Free Spirit single “Talk” back in February, a fitting month to be introduced to a song about a relationship with communication problems. Now, just as Khalid’s sophomore album hits streaming services, we have another way to experience the track by way of Jimmy Fallon. Thursday night, the Grammy nominee celebrated […]

At just 18 years old, it may seem hard to believe but so-called newcomer Jasmine Thompson has already quietly but effectively built up an impressive fanbase across the globe through her own original songs and covers of the likes of Sia, Chaka Khan and Tears For Fears that she’s uploaded to YouTube—some of which have racked up […]

Before Since ‘93, you worked in A&R at Virgin EMI and signed Professor Green and Krept & Konan. With Krept & Konan, they got a record deal after Young Kingz charted in the Top 20. Then their debut album, The Long Way Home, was a top five album. How do you go from a ‘good’ […]

Drake and Future have something up their sleeves. On Thursday night, Hendrix posted an Instagram story that teased what sounds like a collaborative project.  “What’s that?” Drake says as he holds up two fingers. “We gotta cook that up. That 2.” “It’s already cooked up,” Future responds. “Top secret.” Many fans suspect Future and Drizzy are […]

More than two years after releasing his debut project, American Teen, singer-songwriter Khalid has returned with the much anticipated follow-up Free Spirit.

Lil Nas X’s “Old Town Road” has reignited a longstanding debate about what “real” country music sounds and looks like. After getting to No. 19 on the Hot Country chart, Billboard removed the viral hit from the ranking because it was deemed, well, not country enough. “Upon further review, it was determined that ‘Old Town […]

Noname started 2019 on a strong note with the release of her politically charged record called “Song 31.” Three months later, the Chicago rapper has returned with it’s equally solid follow-up, appropriately titled “Song 32.” Noname confirmed the track’s release date exactly one week ago, along with a message that hinted at her hiatus.  “After I put out ‘Song 32’ I’m laying low […]

A tribute to the late rapper Nipsey Hussle was played at the Staples Center before the start of the Los Angeles Lakers‘ Thursday night game against the Golden State Warriors.  “Entrepreneur, rapper, and community activist Nipsey Hussle tragically passed away at the age of 33,” the announcer said. “From his work within locals schools, creating business in L.A., and promoting […]

In late 2018, KYLE and Lil Yachty reunited on an infectious, feel-good track called “Hey Julie”—the follow-up to their 2016 multi-platinum record “iSpy.” Four months after “Hey Julie” arrived, KYLE has come through with the song’s official music video directed by Lonewolf. The colorful visual begins with the entertainers shooting their shot with a group […]

Since launching his laid-back streetwear brand Drew House in January, Justin Bieber has signaled that he intends to shift the focus away from his music career and toward his other lucrative ventures. Bieber’s star-studded rolodex provided a failsafe marketing strategy for Drew House, and since his wife Hailey Baldwin was seen wearing it, so was every young Instagram influencer far and wide. However, the […]
