Polish hurdy-gurdyist Michalina Malisz, who has been a member of the Swiss folk metal band ELUVEITIE since 2016, has released her cover version of the METALLICA classic “Nothing Else Matters”.

According to Wikipedia, the hurdy-gurdy is a stringed instrument that produces sound by a hand crank-turned, rosined wheel rubbing against the strings.

Drake Denies Wanting To Date Kim Kardashian
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: PYMCA / Getty A few days ago social media was abuzz with news that the newly single Kim Kardashian was giving Drake the buffalo eye on IG and laying out thirst traps to capture the attention of the 6 Gawd.

I figured I’d ask this time.” The “In My Feelings” artist responded by simply saying “Obviously” with a crying emoji accompanying the DM. While that doesn’t really sway us either way we guess we’ll have to take it as face value at this point. It ...
Mystery Solved: Kanye West Is Not The Richest Black Person In America
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty Kanye West was all the buzz in the news this week when reports came forth that he was potentially the richest Black person in United States history. As we shared in our reporting on the earlier story, much of the valuation of West’s deals were speculative in nature and a new analysis debunks some of the headlines. Forbes examined the report put forth by Bloomberg that valued West’s clothing deal with the Gap at $4.7 billion due to a private bank document. However, Forbes is saying that the much-ballyhooed $6.6 billion number that has been floating around for days doesn’t pass muster. The folks at Forbes believe that West, very much still a billionaire, is actually worth closer to $1.8 billion, which proves his wealth has grown vastly i...
