Festival season is finally upon us, and Coachella is kicking things off with a stacked lineup including Frank Ocean, Bad Bunny, and K-pop superstars Blackpink. As with last year, both weekends of the fest are being livestreamed on YouTube. Aside from the previously mentioned headliners, there’s a whole slew of acts scheduled to perform on April […]

It’s tempting to say otherwise, but make no mistake: Coachella 2023 is as rap-heavy as ever. Seriously—it’s in the numbers. Since 2016, the iconic concert series has listed an average of about 15 hip-hop acts per festival, with this year’s edition landing at around 20, or 21 if we include the polymath Frank Ocean, who’s […]

The Creed III soundtrack has arrived, courtesy of Dreamville Records. Fans have been patiently awaiting the album since ComplexCon 2022, where Michael B. Jordan dropped some big news about the project. “I’m probably gonna get in trouble,” Jordan said during a ComplexCon(versations) panel. “Dreamville is executive producing this album.” Mike Will Made-It handled Creed II: The Album in 2018. Founded by J. Cole, […]

Fresh off founding a pediatric cancer foundation in honor of his late son, Nick Cannon paid a visit to Power 106 on Tuesday to spit some bars for the L.A. Leakers. Cannon kicked things off with a freestyle over EarthGang’s “Power,” a track from their latest album Ghetto Gods, which features Cannon and Cee-Lo Green on […]

We’re closing out the last Friday in February with a bang. Kanye West is back with Donda 2 (or, at least, an in-progress version of it). Conway the Machine dropped his highly-anticipated album, God Don’t Make Mistakes, featuring the standout song “Stressed.” And EarthGang linked up with JID and J. Cole for the dizzying anthem “WATERBOYZ.” This […]

It’s been a long time coming, but the dynamic Atlanta duo of EarthGang have officially released their fourth studio album, Ghetto Gods, with features from J. Cole, Future, JID, and more. Ahead of the album’s release, EarthGang dropped their single “Amen” featuring Musiq Soulchild. Speaking on how the song came together, the two artists shared how they […]

It’s another strong week in music releases. Gunna finally dropped his collaboration with Drake, “P Power,” which was previously delayed. Earl Sweatshirt dropped his new project, SICK!, featuring the standout track “Fire in the Hole.” Cordae recruited Freddie Gibbs and Stevie Wonder for “Champagne Glasses” off his sophomore album From a Bird’s Eye View. This week’s list […]

J Cole may have played a major role in Kendrick Lamar’s success. During a recent interview with Nardwuar, the Fayetteville emcee was asked if it was he who put Dr. Dre onto K. Dot. “Who told you that? Who gave you that piece of information?” Cole replied. “… The answer is, yes. I did. I’m not gonna say I […]

EarthGang has had their foot on the pedal for the last several months. After rejoining their Atlanta rap collective Spillage Village for their heavily-anticipated project Spilligion at the end of 2020, the duo has now set their sets on dropping another body of work to follow their last studio album Mirrorland.  In a conversation with The Breakfast Club, while talking about […]

EarthGang have shared their newest song “Options,” featuring Wale. The track is paired with a visualizer that was created by Robot Chicken animators Bona Bones and Zack Sekuler. The video reimagines EarthGang’s Olu and WowGr8 as two dolls, who wax poetic about the many romantic options they could pursue. This is the duo’s first song since […]
