Iggy Azalea Addresses Rumor She Was “Bullied” Away From Music

Iggy Azalea shot down the rumor that she was “bullied” away from continuing a career in music on Twitter, Wednesday. However, she says she’s putting her new album on pause and focusing on other endeavors.

“I’ve always been someone who finds my joy in being creative & seeing my ideas come to life. For a long time I used music to deliver my big crazy ideas to the world,” Azalea wrote. “I know a lot of people have this idea that I was ‘bullied away from music’ and that’s something I’ve always laughed at because I’d never be bullied out of anything! In fact, I’m too stubborn.”

Lil Skies New Song “Pivot” Leaves Fans Severely Disappointed

Pennsylvania rapper and crooner Lil Skies was one of the hottest rappers from about 2017 to 2019. His sound was very melodic with elements of trap, emo, pop rap. Unfortunately, many feel he has steadily fallen off since that point. While he still releases a steady flow of singles, it will be almost three years since his last album.

For some rappers, they may be able to bounce back from a long LP break. But, usually, those artists have more of a distinctive sound. Skies can rap for sure. However, his approach is quite run-of-the-mill, as there are many clones like him.

Listen To “Pivot” By Lil Skies

That is partially the reason why his latest single “Pivot” is not doing too well with listeners. Skies shared the song on his Instagram page to little in the way of compliments. Many people are saying he should go back to his original sound. One goes, “Skies really took 2 years off to release this dog s*** go back to your old sound tf.” Another goes, “Skies no we need that 2017 skies wtf is this it don’t even sound like you!” While it is good for artists to constantly evolve, this change has fans scratching their heads due to him riding the new waves of the music soundscape.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new single, “Pivot,” by Lil Skies? Do you think an album is on the way soon with all of the releases from last year? Are the fans in the comments section right that this is one of his worst tracks? Whether you agree or not, why? Does it sound like his style or his riding the wave of other rappers? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

Quotable Lyrics:

I stay on my pivot, ain’t takin’ no brakes (No brakes)
Tell ’em f*** n****s, “Get out of my face” (My face)
I got a Glock and it’s right by my waist (Huh-huh)
If you try me I’ll get you out the way (Do-do)
She wanna know what I’m doin’, I’m catchin’ theses plays (Uh-huh)
I’m really tryna fill up my safe (Uh-huh)

Lil Dicky Shoots His Shot With Rachel McAdams On “Mr. McAdams”

It was during late June of 2023 that Lil Dicky provided his fans with a massive update on his music career. Of course, the Pennsylvania native has been very busy with his hit television show on FX, Dave. It basically describes his life and how he wants to become one of the most successful rappers of all time. Because of the music industry elements, there are going to be some songs woven into the show.

However, Lil Dicky feels that the material is good enough to release as a full project’s worth. “It’s a really strong body of work that I’m super proud of. I was surprised when I took a step back and looked at the inventory of stuff that [has] made it into the show — ‘Oh, my God, there’s like a great album here of work that can live on its own.’” That is slowly becoming a reality because the soundtrack for Dave is on its way. It is going to be called Penith (The DAVE Soundtrack) and will be out on January 19.

The lead single is out now for it is called “Mr. McAdams.” The music video includes scenes from some episodes of the show in which Rachel McAdams makes some guest appearances. Over time they develop some feelings for each other, hence the name of the song. The lyrics make quirky references to The Notebook in classic Lil Dicky fashion. Brad Pitt also makes a funny cameo in the video when he raps, “Maybe I’m your Brad Pitt / F*** Brad Pitt, don’t think about him.” This soundtrack will be Dicky’s first album in eight years.

What are your initial thoughts on this new single, “Mr. McAdams,” by Lil Dicky? Do you think he is a genuinely funny comedian/rapper? Or, does he come off corny in your opinion?

Kanye West Has Fans Upset Yet Again As “Vultures” No Longer Has A Release Date

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign have been working on a new album called Vultures. Overall, it is an album that has been surrounded by controversy. With Ye’s fervent anti-Semitism, there are those who are deadset on boycotting the album. Furthermore, Ye has delayed the album on numerous occasions. Of course, this is something Ye does all of the time, so we should have known better. All throughout December, the album was delayed, and most recently, the project was pegged for January 12th.

Well, it seems like that is no longer the case. According to Forbes a spokesperson for Ye has said that the album does not have a release date. Instead, the album’s fate is completely up in the air. There is some speculation that the album is going to be scrapped entirely. However, there are actual insiders who know for sure this is not the case. According to HipHopDX, one of those people is Malik Yusef. He recently told fans on social media that vocals are being re-recorded and that the album will eventually drop.

Kanye West Continues To Mess With Us

At this point, it does feel like the album is in limbo. While those around Ye are confident that it will still come out, the entire rollout has been absolutely painstaking. Fans are being left in the dark, and those who still support Ye are becoming a bit fed up with the whole deal. Whether or not Kanye ends up pushing things along, still remains to be seen. By the time it comes out, there is a real chance a lot of people will have moved on. Not to mention, there is still time to make this a STEM player exclusive.

Hopefully, some tangible updates on the album come sooner rather than later. Let us know what you think of the new project, in the comments section down below.

DC The Don Releases Coveted Throwaways On New Mixtape “SACRED HEART 2 (+)”

A few days ago we compiled a list of five artists who we expect to really blow up in 2024. We went for names that were starting to garner some attention but have not reached the maximum potential just yet. After sitting with it for the past week or so, there might have been someone who should have made the cut. DC The Don, a Wisconsin native, was grossly underlooked.

He can sing and rap and floats around the trap and melodic rap subgenres. DC shares similarities with other artists in these lanes, but is developing a unique sound. Last year he impressed us with some singles such as “Tell Shyanne” and his deluxe version of FUNERAL. DC The Don is back now to deliver a sequel to his SACRED HEART mixtape series.

California rapper and auto crooner 03 Greedo has been bringing unique sounds to the West Coast for about a decade now.

Luh Tyler And Tony Shhnow Showcase Some Chemistry On “POP OUT”

Both Luh Tyler and Tony Shhnow were dropping new music on a consistent basis throughout 2023. For the 17-year-old sensation out of Florida, he put forth his debut project My Vision.

Logic Finally Delivers Update On Long Lost “Ultra 85” Project

Logic is an artist who has dropped a lot of music over the last couple of decades. Overall, he burst onto the scene with his mixtapes in the early 2010s. Subsequently, he dropped some massive albums with Under Pressure and The Incredible True Story. However, when he dropped Everybody, he got hit with quite a bit of criticism. Some felt his subject matter was repetitive, and with each subsequent release, those criticisms got louder.

However, after a brief retirement, Logic has returned with some of the best material of his career. Heading into 2024, fans have been optimistic about what he may come out with next. Well, as it turns out, he has something interesting up his sleeve. Taking to Instagram recently, he posted a blacked-out photo with the caption, “Ultra 85 2024.” For those who may not know, Ultra 85 is an album that Logic has been teasing for years at this point. In fact, some thought it was the original name for Everybody.

Regardless, the album is now set to drop this year, and fans have a reason to be excited. That said, as you can see from the comments section, some are a bit perplexed by the announcement.

Ice Spice Co-Signs Playboi Carti Track “BACKR00MS” After He Shouts Her Out

Ice Spice had herself a truly incredible 2023. Following the success of her 2022 hit “Munch,” Spice became a household name. Overall, she was able to secure some massive collaborations with the likes of Taylor Swift, and even Nicki Minaj. Although some were questioning the sustainability of her success, she ended up putting a lot of those questions to rest. Heading into 2024, she is primed and ready for another big year, especially with the Grammys on the horizon.

Last night, Ice Spice found herself as part of the rollout for Playboi Carti’s brand-new track “BACKR00MS.” The song features Travis Scott, and leading up to the song’s release, Carti was shouting her out. She had posted some raunchy photos for her birthday, and Carti ended up reposting them. As it turns out, there is even a bar on the song about Carti needing a “Munch” like Ice Spice. Spice was taking notice, and once the song dropped, she ended up showing some love. “Backr00ms,” she tweeted while adding a lipstick kiss emoji.

Ice Spice Reacts

As for the song itself, it is yet another lowkey and mysterious song from the artist. With each new album era, Carti has delivered a new sound. However, this is by far the biggest departure from his core sound yet. Regardless, it seems to be a sound that fans are genuinely enjoying. Carti is always finding new ways to reinvent himself, and this new era could birth his best album yet. Only time will tell whether or not that album actually comes out anytime soon. Based on some estimations, the album is going to come in January.
