For those who weren’t able to make it out to Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens for Rolling Loud this weekend, not all is lost. The major hip-hop music festival is being livestreamed, with performances from the likes of headliners Travis Scott, ASAP Rocky, and Post Malone, as well as Lil Baby, Lil Uzi Vert, 21 Savage, […]

Just Blaze took to Instagram this week to share a bit of hip-hop history. The Paterson-born producer/DJ posted a photo of an Ensoniq ASR-10 sampler that was owned by Kanye West.

Harlem’s own Jim Jones recently partnered with eOne for ByrdGang Records, and he’s already giving the revamped roster shine on “Hip Hop,” a collaboration with Dyce Payso and Shoota. The music video for the single—which was directed by Shula the Don, Jones, and Will C—finds the trio mobbing Uptown, and includes cameos from Juelz Santana, Dave East, as well as fellow ByrdGang 2.0 members Fat Flee, […]

Having bubbled up into the R&B scene back in 2019, Hackney-based R&B collective Gramn. have hit a real stride, cranking out a steady stream of singles and even a couple of EPs. The first half of 2021 was relatively quiet by their standards, but they’re now back with new single “Glow Up”, and with it come […]
