In the spring of 2021, Post Malone’s manager teased that the singer could drop two projects that same year. The releases would’ve been his first full-length efforts since 2019’s Hollywood’s Bleeding, but 2021 came and went without any projects from Posty. Thankfully for his fans, he did release two singles before the year came to a close, those being “One Right Now” with The Weeknd and “Motley Crew.” Earlier this month, Post’s manager announced that his fourth album Twelve Carat Toothache would arrive at some point next month. With May less than a week ago, Post took to Instagram Live to share some new details about the project.

During the livestream, Post played a snippet of “Happy,” his upcoming collaboration with Doja Cat, and also took a moment to praise her talents. “She is so incredible,” he said before pressing play on the track. “I am so blessed and so honored to be able to have worked with her.” Post also previewed his collaborations with Roddy Ricch and Robin Pecknold of Fleet Foxes, titled “Cooped Up” and “Love/Hate Letter To Alcohol” respectively. Before the livestream came to an end, Posty confirmed that Twelve Carat Toothache will feature 14 songs and guest appearances from The Weeknd, Doja Cat, Roddy Ricch, Robin Pecknold, and The Kid Laroi.

You can listen to the snippets of “Happy,” “Cooped Up,” and “Love/Hate Letter To Alcohol’ in the videos above.

Pusha T Reveals What Went Down With His Madlib-Produced Album

Just a couple of days ago, Pusha T released his long-awaited fourth album It’s Almost Dry. It’s a 12-track effort filled with his trademark cocaine bars backed by appearances from Kanye West, Jay-Z, Pharrell, Kid Cudi, Lil Uzi Vert, Nigo, Labrinth, and Malice. The project was also heavily produced by Kanye West and Pharrell with additional help from Labrinth, 88-Keys, BoogzDaBeast, and more. So far, It’s Almost Dry has been met with favorable reviews from listeners as it appears that Pusha has elevated his game since his 2018 album Daytona.

The arrival of It’s Almost Dry has also made some question the whereabouts of Pusha’s Madlib-produced album which he’s teased on a few occasions. During the inaugural episode of Amp’s It’s Almost Dry Radio with Idea Generation’s Noah Callahan-Bever and his longtime manager Steven Victor, Pusha gave an honest answer about that project.

“I was definitely going to work with Madlib,” he said according to Complex. “I got some beats and they were actually chops from him. I just think he’s really dope at finding ill sounds and ill chops, and things of that nature.” He added, “But at the same time, it was feeling like a beat tape situation. I felt like to step it up I had to be produced — to step it up from Daytona.”

Pusha continued, “When you think about Daytona, it’s just beats and hard raps. I wasn’t produced. The structure of Kanye West you know, taking these things out or whatever the case may be. Honestly, it was just that. It’s Almost Dry is an exercise, definitely on the Pharrell side, in being produced.”

Maybe Pusha and Madlib can get on the same page at some point in the future, especially since Pusha said it was a “bucket list thing” for him to craft an album with Madlib.

It’s Almost Dry is out now via GOOD Music and Def Jam. You can stream it here.

This summer will mark two years since Megan Thee Stallion was shot in the foot. The incident resulted in Tory Lanez being charged with one felony count each of assault with a semiautomatic firearm and carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle. Tory has repeatedly denied being the one who shot Megan, but testimony from an LAPD detective revealed that he allegedly apologized for shooting Megan in the foot afterward. Court proceedings for the case are still underway, with Tory’s arrest for violating Megan’s protective order against him being the most recent update in the matter. As that continues, Megan took a moment to sit down with Gayle King for an interview on CBS.

The full interview will air on Monday morning, but in a clip that was shared on Sunday, Megan gives an emotional account of what happened that summer night in 2020. “It was an argument because I ready to go, and everybody else wasn’t ready to go,” Megan says at the beginning of the clip. “But that’s like normal friend stuff, we fuss about silly stuff all the time. I never put my hands on anybody, I never raised my voice too loud, like this was one of them times where it’s like it shouldn’t have got this crazy.” Megan then went on to recall the moment she was shot in the foot.

“So I get out of the car, and everything just happened so fast. All I hear this man screaming is, ‘dance, b*tch,’ and he starts shooting, and I’m just like ‘oh my God…’ like he shot a couple of times,” Megan added. She then notes that Tory was “standing up over the window shooting” at her. Megan continued, “I didn’t even want to move. I didn’t want to move too quick cause I’m like, ‘oh my God if I take the wrong step, I don’t know if he’ll shoot something that’s super important and I don’t know if he could shoot me and kill me.”

Megan concluded the clip by saying, “I was really scared because I had never been shot at before.”

You can watch the full clip in the video above and stay tuned for Megan’s full interview with Gayle which arrives tomorrow morning.

Angel Olsen Covered Harry Styles Yet-To-Be-Released Song ‘Boyfriends’

Just last week Harry Styles debuted not one but two new songs during his Friday night Coachella set. Both “Boyfriends” and “Late Night Talking” are likely singles off his upcoming album, Harry’s House, but for now, “Boyfriends” is definitely the crowd favorite. So much so that indie rocker Angel Olsen has done her own cover of the track, though it hasn’t even been officially released yet. Gearing up to release a new album of her own, Big Time, on June 3, Olsen uploaded her spare rendition of Harry’s tune to her TikTok channel.

“This new Harry song is a beauty (debuted at Coachella) #harrystyles #bigtime #fyp,” Olsen captioned the video.

Here’s a snippet of the Harry version:

Does this mean a slew of “Boyfriends” covers will be unleashed in the coming days and weeks? Too soon to tell, but if there’s one thing this man seems to understand, it’s just how frustrating men can be. For his set during last night’s second weekend, Harry brought out Lizzo to do some One Direction classics, which is probably not comparable to the iconic appearance of Shania during the first weekend, but at least he mixed it up so fans got something different.

Bad Bunny Used A Buggati Ad To Announce His Upcoming Album, ‘Un Verano Sin Ti’

Bad Bunny had a musically quiet year in 2021, at least on his own terms. He released a few singles and some collaborations but it was nothing like his 2020 year that featured not one, not two, but three projects from him: YHLQMDLG, Las Que No Iban A Salir, and El Ultimo Tour Del Mundo. Three projects in one year is enough music to last most fans for some time, but many wondered when Bad Bunny’s next era would begin. Now, thanks to a new advertisement from Bugatti, we know that it will come sooner than later.

On Thursday night, Bad Bunny shared a classified ad under his legal name Benito A. Martinez Ocasio. The ad was for a Buggati Chiron 110 Anniversary 2019 priced at $3.5 million and it was attached with a phone number — (787) 417-8605 — which traces back to Bad Bunny’s home country of Puerto Rico. When the phone number is dialed, a snippet of a new song is played. Next, the number sends a text message in Spanish that translates to, “Hello! Thank you for calling. There’s little time left until the album comes out. I can’t say the date yet.” Bad Bunny then adds, “But I can tell you the name: ‘Un Verano Sin Ti (A Summer Without You).’”

The announcement arrives after he shared the dates for his World’s Hottest Tour which kicks off in August.

Terrace Martin Says He Will No Longer Work With ‘Rap Friends’ In A New Letter

Terrace Martin’s work in the music industry dates back to the mid-2000s. He started off as a jazz producer, but following some work with Snoop Dogg in the mid-2000s, Martin would go on to combine his jazz palette with hip-hop sounds as he worked with rappers like Kendrick Lamar, Denzel Curry, Cordae, Big KRIT, Travis Scott, Ab-Soul, Jay Rock, and more. Martin has also put nine albums over the course of 10 years with his first one being 2011’s Melrose with Murs and his most recent one being 2021’s Drones. Despite all his success, Martin is putting an end to his work with hip-hop artists.

In a lengthy letter that he shared on social media, Martin revealed that he would no longer work with “rap friends” in the future.

“It just hit me, I’ve helped people my whole career. I’ve helped the biggest artist to the smallest artist.

Whether it be producing a record or playing keys or sax solos or bringing in musicians to enhance an album to just giving game from all of my experiences.

Now I realize that the love and help I’ve been giving for YEARS has never been returned when I need it.

“I have waived publishing, credits, money etc on the strength of relationships, on the “love,” and to watch my “rapper friends” overpay these producers who come to me for pointers and tips is the ultimate slap in the face. So I’m done. I’m not working with anymore rap friends.”

While Martin’s presence in the rap world will be missed, he’s still helping craft some great records through recent projects like Robert Glasper’s Black Radio III.

FKA Twigs Floats Through City Streets In Her Tempting Video For ‘Honda’

by

Nearly three years after she released her second project Magdalene, FKA Twigs kicked off 2022 with her third effort Caprisongs. It’s a project that she teased as 2021 came to a close and one she described as “really deep emotional and honest but hopefully more golden tears than blue i channeled my melancholy differently this time and it was so amazing.” In January, Caprisongs arrived with 17 songs and features from The Weeknd, Rema, Daniel Caesar, Jorja Smith, and more. While a few months have passed since the project’s arrival, FKA Twigs continues to promote it with a new video for “Honda.”

The new visual is a rather short one as the song’s length is cut in half to make for a video that falls a bit short of 90 seconds. In it, FKA Twigs rides a motorcycle through the streets of London, but due to the way the visual is shot, it appears as if she’s floating through the city. “Yolo, like with me it’s just anything to get the shot,” she said about the visual in an interview with Rolling Stone. “‘Honda’ for me is like a perfect definition of a caprivid because it’s super short and cheeky and it leaves you wanting more.”

“Honda” is the latest track from Caprisongs to receive the visual treatment as it joins “Papi Bones,” “Bliss,” “Jealousy,” Meta Angel,” and “Tears In The Club.”

You watch the video for “Honda” above.

Caprisongs is out now via Atlantic Records. Get it here.

DaBaby Punched His Own Artist Wisdom During A Backstage Altercation

DaBaby’s 2021 year was wrapped in controversy with the biggest one being the homophobic comments he made during Rolling Loud’s Miami festival last summer. That incident caused the rapper to be dropped from multiple festivals, but by the end of the year, DaBaby was back on big stages like Rolling Loud’s Los Angeles festival. While the hope was that 2022 would be a bit quieter for DaBaby, that was quickly thrown out of the window after his altercation with DaniLeigh’s brother at a Los Angeles bowling alley. Just a couple of months after that incident, DaBaby found himself in another altercation.

Friday night, DaBaby was in Columbia, South Carolina to perform at the Spring Jam 2022 event at the Colonial Life Arena. The event also featured performances from Kodak Black, Renni Rucci, NoCap, Boosie, and Webbie. At some point during the night, DaBaby got into an altercation with his artist Wisdom and the two exchanged punches. As DaBaby is walking backstage, he suddenly swings on Wisdom, who is signed to his Billion Dollar Baby Entertainment label. DaBaby and Wisdom both landed punches, but the fight was quickly broken up thanks to security guards, personnel, and police officers who were nearby.

It’s unknown what caused the altercation between DaBaby and Wisdom, but it’s one that comes after DaBaby reportedly shot an intruder at his North Carolina home earlier this month.

Harry Styles’ stardom has been on full display at Coachella this year. During the festival’s first weekend, the former One Direction singer performed his chart-topping single “As It Was” for the first time and also debuted two new songs, “Boyfriends” and “Late Night Talking.” These tracks are set to appear on his upcoming third album Harry’s House. He also brought out Shania Twain to perform “Man, I Feel Like A Woman” during his set. For the second weekend of Coachella’s festival, Harry brought out another awesome guest during his headlining set to close out the night.

At the end of Friday night, Harry brought out Lizzo for a pair of performances. The singers, who have been friends for years, took the stage together to perform Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive” and One Direction’s “What Makes You Beautiful.” Lizzo teased her appearance at Coachella earlier in the day in a TikTok, writing, “I’m bored otw to Coachella.” Afterward, she took a moment to show gratitude to Harry in an Instagram post. “Proud of you @harrystyles,” she wrote. “Thank u for having me.”

Lizzo and Harry’s performance together comes as they prepare to release new albums to the world. Harry’s third album Harry’s House will arrive on May 20 while Lizzo’s next body of work Special will drop on July 15.

Kendrick Lamar Surprised Fans At Coachella By Joining Baby Keem To Perform ‘Family Ties’ And ‘Vent’

Kendrick Lamar has been stepping out a bit more as of late and it comes after he said his fifth album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers is finally on the way. The public appearances for the typically-secluded rapper began earlier this year when he joined Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, and more to perform at the Super bowl LVI Halftime Show. More recently, Lamar was spotted at a Los Angeles Dodgers game against the Atlanta Braves earlier this week casually sitting with fellow fans in right-field rather than in a press box. For his next act, Kendrick brought his talents to the second weekend of Coachella’s 2022 Festival.

On Friday night, Kendrick made a surprise appearance at Coachella by joining Baby Keem to perform “Family Ties” and “Vent,” both of which are from Keem’s 2021 debut album The Melodic Blue. The latter track also became Keem’s first and Kendrick’s 14th Grammy Award after it won in the Best Rap Performance category earlier this month. During their Coachella set, Baby Keem performed the first half of “Family Ties” before he welcomed Kendrick to perform his verse in front of a large video screen that displayed fire and water. Kendrick’s surprise appearance concluded with their first-ever performance of “Vent.”

Kendrick’s Coachella appearance comes after he confirmed his fifth album Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers would arrive on May 13. It’s one of this year’s most highly-anticipated projects as it’s the rapper’s first album since 2017’s DAMN.
