“Lil CC let it slap with the bass,” Drake raps on his new song “Money in the Grave.” If you’re asking yourself who Lil CC is, you’re not alone. Before this weekend, the 21-year-old producer had never released a song, and she was much better known for her successful modeling career as Cydney Christine. Lil CC says […]
You know Bianca Lawson. If you were a teenager at any point in the last 30 years—or consumed any teen-oriented content in the same period—you’ve seen her. If you’d like to challenge that theory, here’s an abbreviated checklist, decade by decade: In the ’90s the actress played Megan on Saved by the Bell: The New […]

First starting out in his parents’ house, Michalis Michael now boasts an illustrious career, working with the likes of BBK, Drake, Ed Sheeran, […]
While I hope everyone has gotten a chance to watch Ava DuVernay‘s powerful miniseries on the Central Park Five, When They See Us, I can understand if you haven’t. In the week since it’s dropped, many have tried to watch and found it to be too intense to take in one sitting. The fact that this […]
It’s not uncommon for Bryce Gotta’s lyrics to be incomprehensible on first listen. Professionally known as Belis, she’s even jokingly apologized on Twitter: “Sorry if you can’t understand me, I’m speaking in Belish.” Often described as a “baby voice” by fans, her saccharine, high-pitched vocals are heard on standout singles “Hysterical Glamour” and “LEMONADE,” which have […]
Writer Stefani Robinson’s star continues to rise. After writing an incredible pair of episodes for Atlanta’s second season, Robinson transitioned over to the high-profile film-to-television adaptation of Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi’s beloved What We Do in the Shadows for FX, where she’s pulling double duty as both a writer and co-executive producer. With the […]
Metta World Peace is incredibly honest. Ask him any question and the former All-Star and NBA champion with the Lakers will tell you exactly what’s up. Even if deep down he doesn’t want to share his vulnerabilities. “I’d rather not but sometimes it’s important, man, I ain’t gonna lie,” says the baller formerly known as […]
Ever since Ari Lennox signed to Dreamville Records in late 2015, the Washington, D.C. talent was determined to deliver a debut album that fully represented who she is. More than three years later—along with an EP, various guest spots, and opening for J. Cole on tour—Lennox has released Shea Butter Baby, a labor of love […]
Vic Mensa doesn’t care what you think about him; he’s going to do things his own way. When it came to getting his own footwear collaboration, it made sense that he didn’t work with a traditional sneaker brand. Instead he chose Wolverine, the shoemaker from Michigan, to design 1000 Mile sneakers and boots for him […]
Freddie Gibbs’ “great place” is not metaphorical; for the first time since being dropped from Interscope, he is in business with a major record company. Tunji Balogun, whose relationship with Gibbs and Lambert goes back a decade, is the executive vice president of A&R at RCA Records and a co-founder of the label Keep Cool […]
