The back-and-forth between Megan Thee Stallion and her label 1501 Certified Entertainment has been the center of conversation over the past couple days. But what is really going on? Was Megan taken advantage of by a shady record company? Or is she attempting to rewrite history and leave her old partners in the dust now that […]
If you follow Jerry Lorenzo on Instagram, you might have noticed a slight shift in his outfits as of late. It’s not a huge departure for the Fear of God founder, who’s known for wearing—and designing—sweatpants, T-shirts, and hoodies that come in very specific, and desirable, shapes. But all of a sudden he was adding […]
Long before he was a motherfuckin’ starboy, The Weeknd and his XO camp literally had to steal food to keep their dreams alive. That was one of many nuggets revealed last Friday during In-HXOUSE Conversations, the latest in a panel series by HXOUSE, XO Records’ creative incubator. “I remember when we were coming up, we […]
The 2020 NFL scouting combine wrapped up this weekend and it’s full-on mock draft season. Free agency awaits in the coming weeks, and that’ll bring considerable clarity to how the draft will play out. We have a ton of updates from our last mock now that we have some testing numbers to pair with film […]
Peace hockey—basketball may be Canada’s new national sport. First of all: We kinda invented the game. Also, even though we’re already halfway through the 2019/2020 NBA season, we’re still low-key celebrating the country’s only NBA basketball team championship (you know, when the Raps beat Golden State last year).

The night started off with a poem called “Tell Em,” by Alysestal Hamilton Thomas. It was an ode to black culture and a commentary on not only being comfortable in your skin, but also learning to love yourself. The crowd snapped their fingers as words resonated with the diverse crowd from all over the city […]
With another month down the drain, 2020 seems to be getting off to a lightning-fast start, and we still haven’t hit peak movie time yet (although there’s a grip of great television out there, and on the horizon). This week, we have a pair of our standard picks; we can’t help it if HBO knows […]
February is closing out with a lot of new music. Lil Baby just dropped his sophomore studio album, My Turn, featuring appearances from Young Thug, Future, Lil Wayne and more. G Herbo delivered his new project, PTSD, a 14-track project that dives into the effects of growing up in the streets. Although PARTYNEXTDOOR didn’t drop his […]
“Piercing vulnerability,” “devastating,” an “indie rock exorcism”: these are all descriptors that have been used, not hyperbolically, to explain the music of Sophie Allison a.k.a. Soccer Mommy. But behind those aching records is a very real 22-year-old woman who writes them, records them, and spends months performing them over and over. Living those emotions once is taxing […]
Long before he was a deoderant pitchman or syndicated talent show host or Greek-yogurt-obsessed lieutenant on Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Terry Crews was in Toronto. To be more specific, he was in the 6ix because that’s where Platinum, the first TV series he ever acted in, was shot. He essentially played a hoodlum—and not even a funny one. You […]
