Blxst is Taking L.A. With Him on His Way to the Top

2 Chainz says a burst pipe at his home resulted in the discovery of an apparent cash stash left behind by his late father. Indeed, as seen in a recent Instagram Stories update, workers found the collection of tightly rolled-up bills while carrying out repairs on the property. “Quick story,”...

In some ways, 2022 felt like one of the most unpredictable years for music in recent memory. Sure, there were some obvious bets: Kendrick would drop a universally acclaimed album, Taylor would dominate the charts, Beyoncé and Drake would own the attention of the world. But outside of the elite class of superstars, everything is up in the air. Who would’ve thought that Steve Lacy would land the No. 1 spot on the Billboard Hot 100 or that Yung Lean would end up with the most popular song on TikTok?

The new track, a collaborative effort from Cordae and Anderson .Paak, was rolled out to all major streaming services on Wednesday. Notably, the track features production from J. Cole.

SZA's "SOS" is the No. 1 album in the United States for a sixth, consecutive week.

Rap fans have been arguing over whether Drake’s propensity to pay homage is actually obsessive cosplay since he walked out on that Apollo stage dipped in Cam’ron’s fabled pink fur. Prior to his two nights at the historic Harlem venue, he revealed in his latest video that he purchased Pharrell’s N.E.R.D. chains. There’s also the time Drake purchased a microphone allegedly signed by Push, so this has been an ongoing hobby of his apparently. Someone on Twitter said he’s collecting rap artifacts like Infinity Stones. Whatever the case, he seems to be enjoying himself these days as he’s living out his dreams while sitting on top of the game. Here we’re gonna run down a list of instances he styled himself in iconic hip-hop attire and/or collected rap artifacts, and guess whether he’s paying homage, doing cosplay, or both.

London-based producer kiskadee, aka Jack Chown, is gearing up for a new EP, and judging by its first single, “Hypna”, it sounds as if it’ll be landing at exactly the right time of year. There’s a driving, danceable energy pushing it forward (a hint at some more...

Is Chrisean Rock getting hitched? It definitely looks that way.

Video shared by TMZ and Hollywood Unlocked show Rock inside Anita’s Bridal Boutique while trying on a gown.

Jamaican dancehall artist Popcaan has returned with his long-awaited fifth studio album, Great Is He. His second-full-length project through Drake’s OVO Sound imprint, Great Is He sees Popcaan deliver the goods across 17 new tracks. While most of the release is a solo affair, it also features appearances from Drizzy, Burna Boy, Toni-Ann Singh, and Chronic Law. With its summery sound and uplifting melodies, it’s yet another example of how effortlessly Popcaan is able to craft some of the most infectious earworms out right now.

Lil Tjay was shot seven times during an attempted robbery last year, and following his miraculous recovery he received some advice from 50 Cent. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Tjay revealed that after his condition stabilized he got a phone call from Fif, who was on a jet at the time. “Every artist needs pain or something to feed off of. This right here, you shake this shit off," Tjay recalled 50 telling him. "You got the length for greatness. You going to be bigger than ever.” Of course 50 Cent is no stranger to overcoming such injuries, as he was shot nine times in 2000 ahead of his breakthrough success with his debut album, 2003’s Get Rich or Die Tryin’. He noted that Diddy called him to show support, too.

Rae Sremmurd are whetting fans’ appetites again. The Mississippi duo return this week with their first 2023 single “Sucka or Sum,” plus an official music video.

An award-winning rapper, best-selling author, sports pundit, presenter and father, Guvna B is a phenomenally busy man. But, thankfully, he hasn’t let music fall by the wayside and this year will see him release a brand new album in The Village Is On Fire. The lead single from the...

They say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. Despite its overuse and aura of corniness, this mantra is one that Eem Triplin routinely puts into practice, especially when considering how he turned a 13-person turnout at Rolling Loud New York into a viral moment. It doesn’t take a sold out show for this Johnstown, Pennsylvania native to make the most of an opportunity, but following co-signs from Drake and Tyler, the Creator on top of an already successful 2022, it’s safe to assume that sold out shows will be a feature of Eem’s 2023.

Julia Fox shared a video on TikTok Wednesday where the Uncut Gems actress gives a tour of what she considers to be her “very underwhelming apartment” in New York City. “I never thought in a million years that I would do this, but I do believe in maximum transparency,” Fox said. “And so, I’m going to give you guys an apartment tour.” Even though she expected to get roasted, Fox said her goal was to have someone come away from the tour thinking, “Maybe I’m not doing so bad.”

Adaptation is an exercise in expectation management. As such, HBO’s The Last of Us, the television series translation of the beloved PlayStation video game franchise, arrives with plenty of preconceived notions about what should or shouldn’t make it onto the screen. Initially released in 2013, The Last of Us was a remarkable leap forward for storytelling in gaming. Bolstered by motion-captured performances that transcended the screen, dynamic cinematography, a memorable narrative, and richly memorable environments, the video game ostensibly functions as a playable movie.

Social media star Keith Lee is attempting to clear the air. Earlier this week, the TikTok food critic posted a video in which he addressed a potentially career-ending scandal. The Las Vegas resident, who is known for reviewing struggling restaurants in the city, was accused of stealing an idea from a TV producer who had pitched to him late last year.
