B.J. Armstrong woke Chicago up. That’s how Michael Jordan described the jolt his former teammate delivered to the Bulls in Game 2 of the 1998 Eastern Conference semifinals.  In that game, Armstrong helped the Charlotte Hornets beat the odds and the Bulls, hitting a shot as the seconds dwindled to seal their fate. As documented […]

As with every release from South London’s Sneakbo, anticipation for his second studio album 9 Lives was sky-high. The project was teased for months on his socials via mysterious posts and images, which could have easily backfired, but the general consensus is that it has more than lived up to the hype and makes a worthy addition to his growing […]

For someone who began their career as an enigma, Nav has started to open up. First gaining widespread attention for contributing to Drake’s “Back To Back” and following that with a self-titled mixtape in 2017, Nav seemed to be following in the footsteps of his mentor, the Weeknd, creating an air of mystery around his […]

When TM88 got on the phone with Complex this week, he was just finishing up his routine workout. But that’s not why he seemed so pumped up as he spoke. He was excited about his new collaborative single with Southside, “Blue Jean Bandit,” featuring Young Thug, Future, and Moneybagg Yo.  The new record, which TM […]

You know that “bad guy” speech from Scarface? The one where Tony Montana is all like, “You need people like me”? Well, Francesca Farago really exudes that type of energy right now. The Canadian Instagram model is framed as the villain of Too Hot to Handle, Netflix’s latest dating reality show, basically from the first episode. And […]

‘Sprinkle Cake’ is a term you have probably seen floating around the internet over the past week or so. You’ve probably even seen some of your favourite artists and social media personalities with square baking trays layered with white frosting, clad with rainbow sprinkles. The man responsible for all of that is Tiane Stewart, a […]

On March 9, days before most people went into self-quarantine to slow the spread of COVID-19 in New York City, Joey Badass joined guests at the McIntosh Townhouse for a private event in celebration of Paco Rabanne’s two new fragrances.  Unfortunately, the pandemic stalled the launch, but Paco Rabanne unveiled 1 Million Parfum on Tuesday. The […]

South London has created yet another masterpiece.  What Kinda Music is the latest collaborative effort from singer/guitarist Tom Misch and drummer Yussef Dayes, the record’s ambiguity and freedom reigning heavy throughout. Taking a very loose interpretation of their respective jazz backgrounds, the two musicians partner on an album that heralds no genre—it is just simply art—and […]

It was late in the fourth quarter against the Oklahoma City Thunder, 13.4 seconds remaining to be exact. Fred VanVleet had just missed a three-pointer that could have given the Raptors the lead, but Shai Gilgeous-Alexander came down with the rebound and the Raptors needed to foul. But Terence Davis forgot. Toronto trailed 98-97 and […]

At the risk of yet again bringing up coronavirus when talking about music, we do owe a huge debt to all the artists and DJs that have stepped up to keep our spirits lifted during quarantine season. Whether it’s clashes, freestyles or live mixes, they’ve all helped keep our sanity (relatively) in tact through the power […]
