As if Run The Jewels’ latest lyric video for “JU$T” isn’t already a trip, wait until you watch it with their new cannabis line in hand.

St. Vincent & U2 Both Felt Compelled To Cover "Stairway To Heaven"
For whatever reason, both St. Vincent and U2 posted covers of Led Zeppelin’s so-iconic-it’s-cliché “Stairway To Heaven” yesterday. It’s like the inverse of that scene from Wayne’s World where Mike Meyers is forbidden from playing the song’s intro riff in a guitar shop — just an abundance of “Stairway,” more “Stairway” than anyone needs. Annie […]
Neil Young 'Reconsidering' Suing President Trump for Using 'Rockin in the Free World'
To say Neil Young has had it with President Donald Trump would be an understatement. After expressing his displeasure with the president after he played three of his songs — including “Rockin’ in the Free World” — ahead and after a speech in South Dakota, Young has had enough.

DaBaby & Stunna 4 Vegas – “No Dribble”
For the past six weeks, the Charlotte rap supernova DaBaby has had the #1 song in America. Later today, this week’s Billboard Hot 100 will come out, and it seems pretty likely that “Rockstar,” DaBaby’s big-hit Roddy Ricch collab, will get a seventh week at #1. But even with all that success, DaBaby isn’t taking […]
Bill Callahan – "The Mackenzies"
Just about a month ago, Bill Callahan announced Gold Record, his surprisingly quick followup to last year’s Shepherd In A Sheepskin Vest. There was another plot twist: The album’s rollout would feature a new song every week, teasing almost the entirety of Gold Record out until its early September arrival. It all kicked off with […]
JPEGMAFIA Interpolates Mariah Carey On New Song “Living Single”
Last year, Baltimore brain-wrecker JPEGMAFIA, one of the greatest noise-rap experimentalists currently walking the earth, released his album All My Heroes Are Cornballs. Since then, Peggy has dropped a small flood of one-off singles. Last night, he shared a new song that heavily interpolates a classic. Last night, JPEGMAFIA followed up his June track “THE […]

Future Hit: Deacon & Nina Nesbitt’s “Long Run”
Deacon, the 16-year-old son of Reese Witherspoon and Ryan Phillippe, dropped his debut single a couple of weeks ago — and it’s actually good!
