Bktherula Flips Vano3000’s Viral “Adult Swim” For Her First Single Since “LVL5 P2”

by

Bktherula has shared her first single since the release of her acclaimed 2024 project, LVL5 P2. On the new song, “Adult Swim,” she samples Vano3000’s viral “Adult Swim” edit of BADBADNOTGOOD‘s “Time Moves Slow.” After rapping about Kobe Bryant, having money in the bank, smoking weed, and more, she finished the brief track by singing her own version of the lyrics: “Running away is easy (Ooh) / It’s the leaving that’s hard.” In the comments section of Bktherula’s lyric video on YouTube, fans have been showing love for the song. “Kept this on repeat to keep the suicidal thoughts away. 18 hrs after you dropped it till now and most likely for a while after this. W song thank you,” one fan wrote. Another added: “Visuals got me tripping!!! Love it! And I love the chorus.”

Earlier this year, Bk spoke with HotNewHipHop about LVL5 P2, at which time she discussed landing high-profile collaborations like JID and Cash Cobain on the project, her social media presence, and more. She’ll also be performing at Rolling Loud in Miami, later this year. Check out “Adult Swim” on YouTube below. Be on the lookout for further updates on Bktherula on HotNewHipHop.

Quotable Lyrics:

What? Hit that lil’ ho with the Glock
Sexy-ass b*tch, got that cut on her rock
Safe house, I got that swag unlocked

But I’m prayed up, so I’m loving you back

by

Eric Andre says that he lost nearly 40 pounds to disguise himself while filming the upcoming sixth season of his self-titled Adult Swim series. After sharing pictures from before and after shooting the episodes, he expanded on his body transformation during an interview with Men’s Health.

Captioning the photos on Instagram, Andre wrote: “I think the heaviest I got was 218 lbs and the lightest I got was 173lbs!!! I’ll never do a body modification again! That shit was brutal for both season. (If you work at Marvel, ignore the last two sentences.)”

While speaking with Men’s Health, he explained that he changes up his appearance with the new season to avoid getting recognized. “My basic cable [stardom] has risen a little bit, so I disguise myself,” he told the outlet. “I can’t be in this look when I go out into the streets and prank people. So it’s a little bit out of necessity, but it’s also just a challenge, and I want it to be freaky and comedic. So, for season four, I lost weight. I got as skinny as possible and didn’t really work out. For season five, I gained as much weight as possible. I was just eating pizza and peanut butter sandwiches and piña coladas at night. For season six, I wanted to get ripped. And then as soon as I finished filming, I went back to pizza. It was a journey.”

He continued: “At my heaviest in season five, I got up to 218 pounds. This season, I got down to 173. I remember I got down to 184 pounds, which was my goal weight, and I looked at myself in some camera tests and the abs still weren’t popping. The camera adds 10 pounds. It’s totally true. I remember my heart sinking. I haven’t weighed 173 pounds since high school. But, it’s what you got to do. It took me six months. It’s a full time job. If you see any middle aged person with abs know that they’re either psychotic or unemployed, because it is a full time job.”

Run The Jewels Made A Hard-Hitting New ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ Theme Song For An Upcoming Movie

by

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is the show that just won’t die, as it’s enjoyed multiple distinct runs since it debuted way back in 2000. A new movie, which would later be titled Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm, was announced earlier this year and now there’s a new trailer for the film. Furthermore, there’s something for music fans to sink their teeth into as well, as Run The Jewels have created a new theme song for the movie. Some of it can be heard in a new trailer that premiered today.

Killer Mike and El-P are an unsurprising pick to do a new Aqua Teen theme song, as they’ve long enjoyed a fruitful relationship with Adult Swim. A couple years ago, they performed the network’s first live concert, dubbed “Holy Calamavote.” They also teamed up with Rick And Morty for some exclusive merch in 2016, they’ve shared new music as part of the Adult Swim Singles series, and they just performed at the Adult Swim Festival Block Party earlier this month.

It’s currently unclear if the movie will get a theatrical release, although it is set to be available in digital formats and on Blu-ray on November 8.

Check out the Aqua Teen Forever: Plantasm trailer above.

Adult Swim Festival Returns With A Block Party In Philly Featuring Run The Jewels And Tierra Whack

Just as Adult Swim’s one-of-a-kind music/animation festival, Adult Swim Festival, was gaining momentum, it was curtailed by the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The festival, which launched in 2018 and expanded in 2019, was shifted to an online-only event in 2021 but is soon to return in 2022. This time, it’ll not only change venues but also cities, crossing over to the east coast for the Adult Swim Festival Block Party in Philadelphia on August 5-7.

In addition to changing coasts, the format will be a little different as well, taking over multiple venues such as Brooklyn Bowl, The Fillmore, The Foundry, and Punch Line with music, “live panels, exclusive premieres, watch parties, games, giveaways, and merch.” Because it’s Adult Swim and because it’s in Philadelphia, the top line includes Run The Jewels (which formed largely thanks to the input of Adult Swim Senior Vice President Jason DeMarco) and hometown hero Tierra Whack (who previously played the festival in 2019).

Other musical acts booked to play the Block Party include Bia, Flo Milli, and RJD2, while standup comics like Hannibal Buress, Jak Knight, and Jo Firestone are set to perform as well. There will also be live panels for Adult Swim shows Aqua Teen Hunger Force, Rick & Morty, and Smiling Friends, and you can be sure there’ll be some fun screening events as well. Hopefully, they’ll bring back the bucking hot dog ride too, as it was one of the highlights from the 2019 event.

Tickets go on sale on Friday, May 20 at 10 AM ET. Naturally, you can find more information at adultswimfestival.com.

Lil Baby, 21 Savage, And Others Are Performing On The Virtual 2021 Adult Swim Festival

The Adult Swim Festival went virtual in 2020, and the event is returning in the same way this year: It was announced today that the fest is set to go down on YouTube and HBO Max on November 12 and 13, and a bulk of a lineup was also revealed.

It’s a multi-faceted event, but on the music side of things are previously unseen performances from Lil Baby, 21 Savage, Flying Lotus, Angel Olsen, Alessia Cara, Karol G, Kelly Lee Owens, The Armed, and Sheer Mag, with more artists set to be announced ahead of the show.

Meanwhile, there will also be livestreams and panels from Adult Swim favorites like Rick And Morty, Squidbillies, and Aqua Teen Hunger Force. Beyond that, episodes of shows like Rick And Morty, The Eric Andre Show, Robot Chicken, Joe Pera Talks With You, Metalocalpyse, and others will be broadcast, accompanied by live chats featuring surprise guests.

Adult Swim has long had its own specific presence carved out in the music world: For years now, the network has teamed up with (mostly alternative) artists to share new music, and they’re staying strong on that front. Just last month, for example, Soccer Mommy and Kero Kero Bonito shared a collaboration, “Rom Com 2021,” as part of the Adult Swim Singles series.
