My main thing was just, like…I was thinking about the homie. I was thinking about Nip. Because when we made the record, we went through so much shit. We were getting banned from certain venues. Certain cities, we couldn’t perform. We got a letter from the White House, you feel me? From the FBI. I

For the uninitiated, comic books (a shorter version of the graphic novel, and not to be confused with comic strips found in newspapers) might seem to be something children would like. After all, they’re not ‘real’ books (they’re more like picture books), they’re very colourful, and they tend to contain stories about superheroes or magical,

Re-alignment seems to be too strong a word for this — Right, because that implies a deeper, core value shift. Do you think that the incentives then, for more moderation and less euphemism, have started to shift already? I’m curious to see how long this lasts. Are they going to say, “Oh, this is an

Run the Jewels have shared a new track called ‘No Save Point’. It’s taken from the soundtrack for Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red’s long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077. Each of the musicians who contributed original music have taken on alter egos to fit into the game’s dystopian setting, and the duo of El-P and Killer Mike

Multi-talented LA artist Ayoni was staggeringly quick on her feet establishing herself as a one to watch in music. As soon as the 21-year-old Barbados-born singer, songwriter, producer and multi-instrumentalist dropped her self-composed and self-produced debut album, Iridescent, the critics (who got the memo) instantly took notice. Led by Ayoni’s remarkable, radiant voice, the boundary-breaking

Kylie Minogue had already gone through multiple transformations before the release of her 2018 album Golden, but hearing the pop stalwart lean into her country influences was still a surprise to many. An admirable if half-hearted experiment, the album arrived at a time when country was having sort of a resurgence in popular culture –

As anyone who has tried to buy a Nintendo Switch over the past six months can tell you, the COVID-19 pandemic has dramatically increased the demand for video games, which provide escapism, time-killing, and a link to the outside world in one convenient package. And so, although new video game consoles are always met with

At a time when live concerts still seem like a distant reality, it’s easy to forget that certain shows exist for the sole purpose of escaping that reality.

On November 12, 2016, Dave Chappelle hosted Saturday Night Live just days after Donald Trump was elected President of the United States.

After

What’s the chemistry between you two that makes a collab tape work? I’ve known Wheezy since like 2015, 2016. I knew him even before I met Cash, I met him through one of my close friends. I always loved his beats and I didn’t even know he was producing for YSL or anything at the

After a tortuous five days of methodical vote counting, county-by-county projections, and bizarre protests and conspiracy theories from President Donald Trump, all the major TV networks, cable companies, and print media outlets called the presidential election for Joe Biden late Saturday morning. (Vox’s Decision Desk, to its credit, got there 24 hours earlier.) Biden served

The Decision Desk, Vox’s election-calling partner, already has, as has (checks notes) Pop Crave.
