Future Unveils ‘BRAZZIER’ Music Video: Watch
Future is back with another music video to promote his latest album MIXTAPE PLUTO. This time, it’s for the ignorant anthem ‘BRAZZIER’ which some fans really like (but it’s not my personal favorite).

Superbloom – “I Loved Everyone”
No more grunge bands please. We need a reversion to twee blog-rock bullshit or dance-punk or something. I’ve reached my saturation point with all these new indie bands and their thicc power chords.
