Destroy Lonely Prepares For A Big Hit In His Anxious ‘How U Feel?’ Video

Atlanta rock rapper Destroy Lonely dropped his debut studio album, If Looks Could Kill, in May, debuting at No. 18 on the Billboard 200 and selling 29,000 album-equivalent units in its first week. He continues to promote the album, releasing the video for the standout track “How U Feel?” today.

The video takes on imagery from such wide-ranging influences as the Sam Raimi Spider-Man series and assassin action dramas like Nikita and Mr. And Mrs. Smith. Destroy Lonely and his girls load up their weapons and hop in an SUV, presumably for a late-night murder mission.

The song “How U Feel?” was recently featured in the film Insidious: The Red Door, reflecting the horror film aesthetics embraced by the Opium rapper on his debut. Meanwhile, Destroy Lonely is also rising quickly, collaborating with breakout artist PinkPanthress for “Turn Your Phone Off.” He’s also on tour with Opium founder Playboi Carti and the rest of his labelmates later this year.

Travis Scott’s Egypt Concert May Have Been Canceled, But He Has Something Special Planned In Rome

The status of Travis Scott’s planned Utopia concert at Egypt’s Pyramids Of Giza was in doubt for some time before it was officially canceled last week. He later insisted the show would still happen one way or another, but whether or not that’s still true, Scott has moved on, at least for the moment, to Rome.

He shared an announcement on Twitter today (August 1), revealing he has an event happening in the Italian city on August 7, so next Monday.

Currently, the travisscott.com/live website linked to in the tweet simply features small text reading, “NOT FOUND.” He offered a bit more detail in his Instagram post about the event, though, writing, “FIRST STOP. UTOPIA LIVE AT CIRCUS MAXIMUS. WE OUT !!!!!TIX ON SALE AUGUST 3 10AM CET TRAVISSCOTT.COM/LIVE.” So, it’s not a screening of his Circus Maximus movie, but rather, a concert at the actual Circus Maximus, an ancient Roman chariot-racing stadium that has been used for concerts in modern times, like when Genesis performed there in 2007.

An Egypt show could still happen in the near future, though. In his aforementioned post-cancellation update, Scott wrote, “Egypt at the pyramids will happen But due to demand and detail logistics They just need a bit a time to set lay on lands. I will keep u posted on a date which will be soon love you alllll.”

Rob49 Delivers An Exclusive Performance Of The Fiery ‘I Realized’ For ‘UPROXX Sessions’

Rob49 is the latest artist to grace the UPROXX Sessions stage, bringing a fiery performance of his unreleased song “I Realized” to the infamous graffiti wall. The New Orleans rapper’s profile has risen sharply in recent months, with appearances on tracks with G Herbo, Lil Baby, Lil Durk, and Travis Scott under his belt, despite only rapping professionally for about three years. His booming voice and nonstop flow have distinguished him in the street rap scene, along with his gritty storytelling style.

Rob is fresh off the release of his new album, 4GODII, which features appearances from the likes of Birdman, Icewear Vezzo, NoCap, Roddy Ricch, and Trippie Redd. He’s preparing to release the deluxe edition next Friday, August 11, but “I Realized” will remain an UPROXX Sessions exclusive for the time being.

You can watch Rob49’s UPROXX Sessions performance of “I Realized” above.

UPROXX Sessions is Uproxx’s performance show featuring the hottest up-and-coming acts you should keep an eye on.

[WATCH] Fat Joe Responds to People Saying He Lied About His Unreleased Album With Biggie

Screen Shot 2023 08 01 at 2.16.59 PM

Terror Squad general Fat Joe has wowed fans and critics alike with his never-mentioned-before stories involving the likes of 50 Cent, Mike Tyson, the late Big Pun, and of course, The Notorious B.I.G. As some continue to call cap on Joe’s most recent claims that he was working on a joint album with the late B.I.G. before he was killed in 1997, Joey Crack doubles down on all of his statements as truth and says he has a host of reputable and known people to back him up.

In one of his most recent interviews, Fat Joe says that there were five songs that he and Biggie recorded together, but after the death of B.I.G. and ‘Pac, it was decided that it was best not to release the tracks. He adds that he’s kept a lot of brewing beef from boiling over, and artists such as Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, Common, and Busta Rhymes can attest to his savvy skills of squashing beef.

See Joe’s response to the critics’ claims below.
