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

Based on true events, Pride is set in 1980s London, where a group of lesbian and gay activists decide to unite against their shared enemies: Margaret Thatcher, the police, and the press. They form a group called LGSM: Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners. The group travels to Wales to support the striking miners, but 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

At some point today, or tomorrow, or next week, outlets of varying prestige will call the presidential election for Joe Biden. The Decision Desk, Vox’s election-calling partner, already has, as has (checks notes) Pop Crave. But most of the major shot-callers like CNN, MSNBC and the networks, who share the same data, have Joe Biden

Mourn don’t mince words. You can tell as much on the Catalonian quartet’s fourth studio album, which opens with the group alternating between two open chords as they repeat the titular line, “This feeling is disgusting,” before a single voice rings out: “It sucks!” The band then lets out all their pent-up frustration in an

Mishegas, a New York City-based artist, most widely known for his songs ‘Episodes’ and ‘Tonight,’ released his latest single ‘Untitled’ — today.

Gorillaz have shared a new video for their Beck-featuring track ‘The Valley of the Pagans’ as part of the latest instalment in their Song Machines series. Taking inspiration from Grand Theft Auto, the new visual sees 2D, Murdoc, Noodle and Russel cruising around a CGI Los Angeles, while Beck makes an appearance on something called

As many election-law doomsayers predicted, Donald Trump has spent the morning after election night misleading the American public about the results, claiming a victory he hasn’t won or complaining of “magically” disappearing margins as votes continue to be counted. None of this is a surprise. Yet none of this is normal. In a normal election

Netflix is available in 190+ countries and in each country its content varies depending upon the demographics and the local demand. In all of these countries combined, Netflix is speculated to have over 13,900 titles. But did you know that the majority of its content library i.e. 40% is available in the US? In this

There is a saying that if you love what you do, you won’t work a single day anymore. Which sounds nice, but there are not that many hobbies that can be transformed into a job. However, video games are one of those hobbies. And the best part is, that you don’t even have to be

Singer-songwriter Sophie Jamieson has previewed her upcoming EP Release with a new single called ‘Concrete’.

There’s still a lot up in the air after last night’s election last night, but as the dust settles, one thing seems clear: Americans support drug policy reform. A wide range of decriminalization and legalization initiatives appeared on ballots across the country last night. All of them passed. The biggest breakthrough of the evening came

Arcade Fire debuted a new song called ‘Generation A’ during The Late Show with Stephen Colbert‘s special live election night coverage on Tuesday (November 3).

Sam Smith’s third studio album begins with a declaration: “I want to be wild and young,” they intone, less a plea than a haunting evocation of a former self. Across 11 tracks – plus 6 previously released bonus songs – the British singer revisits the perennial theme of heartbreak, but does so in a way

Kanye West officially conceded his run in the US presidential race early this morning (November 4). The rapper-turned-presidential-candidate took to Twitter to announce his withdrawal, posting an image of himself in profile against an election map alongside the caption: “WELP”.

It’s 2020 election night and you’re likely maniacally refreshing poll numbers, watching needles swing back and forth, and sitting glued to your TV screen as Steve Kornacki wilds out on his Big Board. It could be several more hours—or days, or weeks—until we know for sure whether Joe Biden or Donald Trump is elected President.

Sofia Coppola’s work has often been accused of being overly stylish, culturally myopic, and generally void of substance. In what might appear to be a slight change of pace, the writer-director’s new movie, out now on Apple TV+, immediately presents itself as the her most conventional and accessible film to date, infused with a signature

After the release of their four-track EP Cat’s Pyjamas, Caro, an Indie Rock trio from Leeds, released their edited version of ‘Closet Lunatic,’ including a superb stop motion video to accompany the song.

Who did you look to for this sort of guidance, both spiritually and with your diet? Were you reading books? Did you have mentors? It started out with meditation for me. There were certain questions I asked the universe while I was in my meditation. I read books, like The Autobiography of a Yogi, sacral

On the verge of a second lockdown in the UK, it becomes more and more important to address enduring misconceptions about the gaming industry. It is hard to pinpoint precisely where gaming clichés come from. They seem to have always been part of the cultural mindset.  Encouraged by poor representation in films and the media,

thank u, next might have been anchored by big, ubiquitous singles, but part of what made it such an affecting highlight in Ariana Grande’s career was its subtly understated nature. The album’s minimalist, mid-tempo instrumentals gave space for some of the singer’s most starkly confessional lyrics as the songs processed grief and personal trauma with

It wouldn’t be quite that simple. Connery played Bond in two more movies. Enticed to return for 1971’s Diamonds Are Forever, he donated his considerable salary to charity. In need of cash after some bad real estate investments, he played him again in 1983’s Never Say Never Again for a rival Bond production made possible
