Stream Kamaiyah & Capolow’s New Collaborative Mixtape Oakland Nights
It feels like a million years ago, but it was only seven months ago that the great Oakland rapper Kamaiyah released her extremely enjoyable mixtape Got It Made.

Kygo & Donna Summer – "Hot Stuff"
It seems like Norwegian producer Kygo has picked a lane and is sticking to it. Last summer, he had a chart hit with a remix of Whitney Houston’s cover of Steve Winwood’s “Higher Love.” He followed that up last month by teaming up with Tina Turner on a remix of “What’s Love Got To Do […]
Justin Bieber – "Holy" (Feat. Chance The Rapper)
Justin Bieber released a new album, Changes, at the beginning of this year (yes, this year) and he’s already trying to move past it. Compared to his blockbuster 2015 album Purpose, sales for Changes were really weak, and the scale of his planned tour was downgraded even before the pandemic spelled doom for the entire […]
