Festival season isn’t complete with the announcement of international shows. Glastonbury Festival, Afro Nation, and Rolling Loud have all revealed their lineups. That leaves just a hand full of others, including Wireless Festival. Well, the organizers of the annual three-day music extravaganza have just dropped a promotional advert starring British talent Nella Rosa, Yung Filly, and more to share this year’s lineup.

The festival set to take place between July 7 and 9 in London’s Finsbury Park will be headlined by Playboi Carti (July 7), Travis Scott (July 8), and D-Block Europe with special guest 50 Cent (July 9). For the full day-to-day lineup, continue below.

With a roster full of drill, grime, and gangster rappers, the festival might as well lift its vulgarity clause.

During Scott’s previous appearance at the festival, he advocated for the release of ASAP Rocky, who was being detained by Swedish authorities. On the other hand, Playboi Carti had a bad fall during his set last year but recovered well.

Last year’s festival headliners included Offset and Cardi B (who nearly got into an incident with an attendee, as did Lil Uzi Vert).

GoPuff is billed as this year’s sponsor. While 1XTRA returns as the official broadcaster.

Metro Boomin Says Young Thug Recorded “Skyfall” Verse In His Sleep

by

Metro Boomin, fresh off of the release of Heroes & Villains, unveiled some interesting factors about Young Thug’s recording habits.

Throughout the years, Metro Boomin and Young Thug developed a strong rapport on wax. The two built up hype for a joint project when they released songs like “The Blanguage.” At the same time, they refined their joint styles on recent releases like “Trance,” which also features Travis Scott. The Astroworld artist previously enlisted Metro and Young Thug on for his project, Days Before Rodeo on the song, “Skyfall.”

Though the song went down as a favorite among Scott’s dedicated fanbase, Metro recently revealed the backstory surrounding Thug’s verse. During his appearance on Producer Grind, he revealed that he witnessed Thug cook up his verse in his sleep.

“He was sleep [when] he recorded that whole — aye, his whole part on ‘Skyfall’ he recorded, he was sleep, bruh,” Metro explained. He said the two sat next to each other in the recording booth as Thug punched in.

“Where he punchin’ at, you could see this n***a clearly sleep but he’s so one with the music, like how I be feelin’ one with the music,” Metro continued. “You’ll think he’s sleep and soon, right on time for him to come in, he’ll be like, ‘Look me inside of my eyes,’ and then just go back down.”

Metro explained that Thug would go in and out of sleep without missing his moment to clock in.

Thug appears twice on Heroes & Villains. Along with “Trance” — which Drake has an unreleased verse on — Thug also teamed up with Metro on “Metro Spider.”

Kylie Jenner Clarified How To Pronounce Her And Travis Scott’s Son’s Name

Whether Kylie Jenner and Travis Scott have broken up again is anybody’s guess (and nobody’s business), but they do share two children: four-year-old Stormi and a nearly one-year-old son. Jenner initially announced his name was Wolf Webster shortly after his birth but later changed it. His new name had been kept private until Jenner posted to Instagram over the weekend.

Jenner’s Instagram carousel featured the first public photos of her son’s face along with the caption “AIRE [white heart emoji].”

The internet reaction was fast and vast, predictably. One fan account asked, “Do you think it’s pronounced air or airey?” Jenner commented, “AIR [heart emoji].”

Jenner’s post has been liked nearly 21.6 million likes (and counting) as of this morning, January 23. The comments section was just as crowded. Kris Jenner wrote, “I love you Aire Webster [heart emoji],” while Hailey Bieber seemingly couldn’t handle it: “[crying emojis] Aire angel.” Other commenters included Rosalía, SZA, Khloe Kardashian (“The king!!! Young king!!!!!”), and former Uproxx cover star Chloe Bailey.

Since then, Jenner has continued to break the internet with posts from Paris Haute Couture Week. This morning, Jenner attended Schiaparelli’s runway show with a faux lion’s head as her accessory. She sat beside Doja Cat, who showed up covered in 30,000 Swarovski crystals.

Here’s some stunning news: Future is not headlining Rolling Loud in Portugal this year. It’ll be the first Rolling Loud to not feature Future as a headliner since the 2021 New York show, as he was billed on every event in 2022 and the upcoming return to Los Angeles this March. Instead, the Portugal show this year will be headlined by returning RL mainstay Travis Scott, Playboi Carti, and Meek Mill. It’ll take place the weekend of July 5-7 at Portimão, Praia Da Rocha Beach.

Also included on the lineup are such names as Central Cee, GloRilla, JID, Joey Badass, Kodak Black, Latto, Lil Durk, Lil Uzi Vert, NLE Choppa, Ski Mask The Slump God, Soulja Boy, and YG. Local acts like Wet Bed Gang (no comment) are also included, and a bunch of the lineup is dominated by British rap standouts like Aitch, Digga D, Sainté, Tion Wayne, and more.

Rolling Loud’s last event in Portugal took place July 6-8, 2022 and was headlined by ASAP Rocky, Future, and J. Cole. Clearly, it went well enough that the festival is returning to the Iberian Peninsula, with many of the same acts returning.

Presale for Rolling Loud Portugal begins January 26 at 10 am, while general sale begins at 1 pm. As usual, more info can be found on RollingLoud.com.

Kylie Jenner has finally revealed the name of her and Travis Scott‘s son. Today (January 21) the reality star and makeup mogul took to Instagram to share an adorable set of photos of her and her son. The photo was captioned “AIRE” with a white heart emoji. While it was rather cryptic, Kylie’s mom, Kris Jenner commented on the post saying, “I love you Aire Webster,” confirming the baby’s name.

Aire was born last February, and Kylie and Scott had previously shared that their son’s name was Wolf Jacques Webster. However, shortly after revealing the name, Kylie took to her Instagram story to reveal that their son’s name was no longer Wolf.

“We just really didn’t feel like it was him.” Jenner said. “Just wanted to share because I keep seeing Wolf everywhere.”

Earlier this month, Kylie and Scott reportedly broke up, however, they are still said to be co-parenting Aire and their first-born daughter, Stormi.

“Kylie and Travis are off again, they were supposed to spend the holidays together, but she went to Aspen to be with her family and friends up there,” said the source close to the Kardashians. “This has happened so many times before, they’re known to be on again off again, but always remain friends and great coparents.”

On the ninth title, “KRZY TRAIN,” Travis Scott joins Trippie for a rockstar-inspired anthem. “I can’t lose my focus ’cause I’m marriеd to the game / If you acting out your conscience then I’ll blow your f*cking brain,” the 23-year-old rhymes on the chorus.

“Are you ready? All aboard the f*cking crazy train / Can’t save me, walk up in this bitch and make it rain.”

The song has already emerged as a fan favourite, along with tracks like “PSYCHO” with Future and Juice WRLD’s posthumous appearance on “KNIGHT CRAWLER.”

Trippie Redd Unleashes “Mansion Musik” Executive Produced By Chief Keef

by

Trippie Redd returned with a new body of work executive produced by Chief Keef.

The rapper returned with Mansion Musik this morning, a 25-song body of work that pays tribute to Keef’s 2018 project. The lengthy tracklist is packed with high-profile features. Chief Keef appears on the tracklist, along with artists like Future, Lil Durk, Lil Baby, and more.

Mansion Musik boasts a new collaboration with Travis Scott, which Trippie described as a sequel to their 2018 collab, “Dark Knight Dummo.” Additionally, Juice WRLD makes a posthumous appearance on “KNIGHT CRAWLER.”

Trippie’s new body of work follows the release of 2021’s Trip At Knight, featuring hits like “Miss The Rage” ft. Playboi Carti and the Drake-assisted, “Betrayal.”

While Trippie blessed fans with mansion Musik this morning, the rapper has even more music in store. Last year, he teased the fifth installment in the Love Letter To You series. However, there haven’t been any recent updates surrounding the status of the project.

“ Love Letter to You 5 is gonna be, if not the best body of music I’ve ever did, one of them. For sure,” he said. “This is the last one. This the last A Love Letter to You so…I done put my all into it. I’ve been working on this for like, three to four years. Dropping projects, but still having music tucked to the side for this project.”
