Just a few weeks after appearing on Dreamville’s D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, Bas returns with his new EP [Bump] Pick Me Up. The four-track project includes Bas’ previously released single “The Jackie” featuring J. Cole and Lil Tjay, as well as guest appearances from Gunna (“Admire Her”), Ari Lennox (“The Others”), and Galimatias (“Eyes on You”).  On Twitter earlier this […]

In theory, fandoms are supposed to feel like families, even if each of the individuals have nothing in common besides their shared love for the same artists. And this weekend, J. Cole’s second annual Dreamville Festival was a family reunion. I’ve only been to North Carolina one other time in my life, for an actual […]

Despite earning four Grammy nominations this year, J. Cole failed to snag any trophies at Sunday’s 64th annual ceremony. The North Carolina rapper was nominated in four categories: Best Rap Album (The Off-Season), Best Melodic Rap Performance (“Pride Is the Devil”), Best Rap Performance (“My Life”), and Best Rap Song (“My Life”). Cole, a 16-time nominee overall, came away empty […]

Baby Keem’s “Family Ties” featuring Kendrick Lamar emerged victorious in the Best Rap Performance category at Sunday night’s Grammys ceremony. Keem accepted the award, which was presented to the Melodic Blue artist by Ludacris. Further reflecting on the win backstage, Keem spoke on how “surreal” the moment felt for him and his family. Originally joining Megan […]

Hours after Dreamville dropped their new project D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, Royce da 5’9” took to Twitter to give J. Cole his flowers, declaring that the North Carolina rapper has a leg up on the best rappers of his era. “Ready to talk about EarthGang now?” Royce wrote. “Matter of fact…The WHOLE Dreamville…They ready for the Zombie Apocalypse […]

It’s always special when Dreamville gets together to release a project, even more so when they bring some friends along for the ride, so it’s exciting that J. Cole and company have joined forces with DJ Drama to deliver their own Gangsta Grillz mixtape, appropriately titled D-Day. With the second annual Dreamville Festival set to begin on Saturday […]

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 […]

Wireless Festival has just announced its 2022 headliners and, in a break from tradition, the festival will take place across three separate sites. Each site—one in its old home of Finsbury Park, one in Crystal Palace, and one in Birmingham—will host acts across three days. From July 1 to July 3, A$AP Rocky, J. Cole, […]

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 […]

In a post on his Instagram, J. Cole showered Colin Kaepernick with praise and expressed his desire to see him play for a team in the NFL in the future. The former San Francisco 49ers player, who is set to be the subject of a Spike Lee documentary, famously kneeled during the U.S. national anthem in 2016 […]
