On April 1, PartyNextDoor shocked the world when he revealed the cover art for his upcoming album, P4 (short for PartyNextDoor 4). The cover, which featured a photo of a nude woman kneeling from behind in a pose suggesting an intimate moment between lovers, made some fans wonder online if it was an April Fool’s joke. But in the weeks since, Party has stuck to his guns as he released a trickle of new music, including the single “Real Woman.” So…
When Can You Play PartyNextDoor’s New Album P4 On Apple Music?
P4 is out 4/26 via OVO Sound / Warner Records. That means it’ll most likely hit streaming platforms like Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal at midnight, eastern time (which is 9 PM pacific).
The album will be the Canadian R&B singer’s fourth studio album and his first in four years following the release of PartyMobile in 2020. He previously explained the delay as the result of a relationship. Naturally, that means fan anticipation is high; in Wongo Okon’s latest feature for Uproxx, he lists four wishes for the new album, including “a new album cover.” Fans are also looking forward to a new Drake collaboration; Party’s prior connections with his OVO boss have become fan favorites, so there’s a tradition to live up to.
Fans are now waiting to see what this new release will bring — or if there will be any other disses in store. As of right now, though, the tracklist and those featured on We Still Don’t Trust You have yet to be revealed.
For those who are using Apple Music, here’s what to know about when it will be on the streaming platform.

I’m happy that we were able to create something so pretty with a good message.”
Future and Metro Boomin are releasing the first of their two collaboration albums in just a few hours. We Don’t Trust You was first teased back in January 2023 on social media, so the anticipation for it has been building for quite a while.

With their music returning to streaming services, De La Soul are being introduced to a whole new generation of fans. It’s been just over a year since their entire catalog made its way to digital streaming platforms after years and years of old school hip hop fans calling for its inclusion. That’s caused quite a bit of love to emerge for the legendary rap group. One of the biggest moves they’ve made is their new show on Apple Music Art Official Intelligence Radio with De La Soul. In the recently released second episode of the show, Common and Questlove guest star to talk about the group’s 2001 album Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump.
During the new episode Questlove tells one particularly notable story. about a studio encounter with Prince. “I came in to ‘View’ when we were trying to fix it. You guys had a sample issue with Ode to Billy Joe the drum break that is on ‘View,’” Quest began. He went on to explain how they got interrupted in the middle of working. “We get to the studio and then you and I were greeted by a bunch of security, Secret Service-looking men, and then Clive Davis and Prince walk in. And then the management of Electric Lady lets us know. Prince wanted to play for Clive Davis so we got kicked out of our own session so that Prince could play Clive Davis Rave In2 the Joy Fantastic,” he concluded. Check out the full episode of their radio show below.
Last year, De La Soul’s Trugoy The Dove tragically passed away at age 54. Many in the rap community paid tribute to him in the wake of his shocking death. A few months after it happened Gorillaz brought the remaining members on stage during their Coachella set. In addition to performing some of their legendary collaborations they also paid tribute to Trugoy.
What do you think of Prince kicking Questlove out of his recording session with De La Soul just to play his new album? What’s your favorite track off of Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump? Let us know in the comment section below.
Streaming services like Spotify and Apple Music have made music consumption easier than ever. The issue, though, lies with how artists are paid by the platforms. In short, there are often complaints. Now, there are lawmakers who want to do something about that.
Yesterday (March 6), congresswoman Rashida Tlaib and congressman Jamaal Bowman (founder of the Congressional Hip Hop Task Force) introduced the Living Wage For Musicians Act. Per a post on Tlaib’s website, the legislation, created in partnership with United Musicians And Allied Workers (UMAW), aims “to compensate artists and musicians more fairly at a penny per stream when their music plays on streaming services.”
The post goes on to note, “Currently, musicians make tiny fractions of a penny per stream, while streaming has grown to represent 84% of recorded music industry revenue in the US. Spotify, the world’s largest streaming service, pays rights-holders an average per-stream royalty of $0.003, which means it takes artists more than 800,000 monthly streams to equal a full-time $15/hour job.”
So, essentially, Tlaib and Bowman hope to more than triple the current per-stream royalty currently paid out by Spotify.
More specifically, the post explains:
“The Living Wage for Musicians Act would tax providers’ non-subscription revenues and add a small fee to the price of music streaming subscriptions. DSPs like Spotify offering interactive music streaming services would pass their taxed revenues and royalties to a non-profit collection and distribution fund, that would in turn pay artists in proportion to their monthly streams. The bill includes a maximum payout per track, per month, in order to generate more sustainable income for a broader and more diverse set of artists beyond the world’s most popular performers. […] By creating a fund that directly compensates recording artists and musicians, the bill will allow vastly more artists to achieve a living wage from music, enabling them to pay rent, raise a family, buy a home, and invest in their future.”
In January, Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign announced that their joint project Vultures had been reimagined as three complete albums after several delays to the original release. At the time, they gave three new release dates: February 9, March 8, and April 5. With the first part out already and the second part scheduled for release this New Music Friday, when can fans expect it to hit DSPs like Apple Music, Spotify, and Tidal?
With most releases, the answer would be 9 pm PT or midnight ET tonight, but with Kanye West, release dates are more like vague suggestions than hard deadlines. Fans watched the first Vultures release date come and go in December without a hint of the new album, with Kanye insinuating that it might have been Nicki Minaj’s fault for not clearing a verse he asked for at the last minute. A second release date in late December also disappointed fans — but didn’t surprise them — and the third release date, the aforementioned February 9, also nearly passed without the album coming out.
However, while Kanye did manage to get the album out on the day (if not at the expected time), it was not without issues. The album was pulled from Apple Music by its distributor, FUGA, which issued a statement claiming that Kanye had only gotten the album through its service through skullduggery and that it was working with DSPs to have it removed entirely. While it’s still available on Spotify, the song “Good (Don’t Die)” was removed after Donna Summer’s estate filed a lawsuit for copyright infringement over an authorized interpolation of her song “I Feel Love.”
So, Vultures 2 might not even come to Apple Music, unless Kanye has a contingency plan, and even if it does, it almost certainly won’t be at midnight. The rest remains to be seen.

Fresh from the release of his 11th studio album INSANO, Kid Cudi invites Zane Lowe into his home to discuss the project, his retirement from music, his relationship with Ye, and more.
Speaking on INSANO Cudi tells Zane, “I think that this album is a triumph, because I’ve seen a lot of people saying, yo, you sound like you can feel the happiness in the music. You can feel the joy radiating. Every note, every verse. There’s no Kid Cudi album that sounds like this. Can you imagine? 11 albums, and I was able to still do something new.”
As he nears his 40th birthday, this wide-ranging conversation sees Cudi reflect on his career, how he’s inspired the next generation of rappers, and why he loves working with Lil Yachty.
When speaking about his relationship with ‘Ye, Cudi says, “It’s usually one person does something where the other one has to defend themselves, but usually you like to keep these things private, but sometimes they can come out.”
He added, “I think in my situation it’s a little bit more complicated. Me personally, I just pray on it and walking the light and the new Scott is not angry at anyone. The new Scott doesn’t have beef with anyone, and I just try to focus on that.”
