Megadeth’s Dave Mustaine and Gibson Announce Partnership, New Line of Guitars
Megadeth legend Dave Mustaine is Gibson’s latest brand ambassador. The two announced the mutual partnership today along with a new line of Mustaine signature model electric and acoustic guitars across Gibson’s three brands: Gibson, Epiphone, and Kramer. It’s a major announcement for Mustaine and his fans, who’ve probably grown accustomed to seeing the iconic metal frontman shredding on a Dean guitar, his previous brand partner. Gibson’s new Dave Mustaine Collection will see the launch of signature model guitars at various price points, depending on the brand — much like KISS founder Gene Simmons’ recently unveiled line of Gibson brand basses and guitars. In fact, Mustaine vividly recalls a childhood memory of seeing Simmons and KISS wield Gibson guitars on the sleeve of their legendary Ali...
Drakeo the Ruler Connects with Drake on “Talk to Me”: Stream
Drakeo the Ruler is the latest rapper to receive a boost from Drake, recruiting the Toronto superstar for “Talk to Me”. The single will appear on The Truth Hurts, the LA rapper’s first project since being released from jail in November 2020. Stream it below. The song finds Drakeo nimbly adapting to Drake’s R&B side with a street ballad. Following the 6 God’s seductive hook, Drakeo spits game without softening his West Coast gangster appeal. “Don’t be shy, I got killers with me, stupid / I march with sticks, I ain’t worried bout no groupies,” he raps. “Boss you up, your lifestyle could be exclusive / But I don’t know, ’cause you be hangin’ ’round with losers.” During an Apple Music interview with Zane Lowe, Drakeo explained how the collaboration came together. After Drakeo’s engineer en...
Black Country Artists From the ’90s Share Their Stories: ‘It Was a Very Lonely Journey’
A cardiologist who sang on the side, Francis’ music attracted the attention of CMT, which played the video of his remake of Glen Campbell’s “Lovelight.” The CMT play prompted Liberty head/producer Jimmy Bowen in 1991 to sign Francis, who, at that time, became the only Black artist signed to a major label in Nashville. “He said, ‘I’ll give you a three-[album deal]. There’s a need for another voice in country music… you have a natural voice like Charley Pride does,’” Francis recalled. The label sent Francis on a radio station tour across the country and he garnered press in national publications, including The Washington Post and People, but “the record fell on its face. We released two more songs and they fell on their faces,” Francis said. “The radio stations had turned on me. No one would...

Michael Bolton Wants You to Dump Robinhood in New Ad
Though several online brokerages (including, until recently, Public.com) use PFOF, the video’s clear target is Robinhood, which received an avalanche of publicity during the recent Gamestop scandal. The well-timed ad piggybacks on recent Reddit outrage around the practice, which last week spawned a House inquiry that resulted in Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev being grilled by members of Congress. In a blog post, Public noted that it is “officially PFOF-free” as of Feb. 16. As an incentive to investors, the company is offering to cover any fees charged by an existing brokerage to transfer their portfolio to them. “I could hardly believe it, what I saw on Reddit today,” sings Bolton in the revamped lyrics, his vocals accompanied by stock images of romance gone wrong (shattering wine gla...

Moving Man: Will Teen Mom OG‘s Josh Join Mackenzie In Florida?
Mackenzie just embarked on a big life change: The mother of three and her munchkins moved to Florida for “a job opportunity” during tonight’s Teen Mom OG episode. But will Josh join his wife and their three kids Gannon, Jaxie and Broncs in the Sunshine State? “Josh has said this whole time, ‘I’m not going to Florida — I have work here,'” Mackenzie told her sister Whitney right before moving day. “Then last night, two days before I leave, he says, ‘Well, I can’t live without you guys. I think I’m gonna go.’ The sudden switch confused Mackenzie because she planned to make her leap solo and be a “powerful woman,” raising her children on her own. Another issue: Josh had a hunting trip scheduled on the day...
Kanye West Going On MAGA Presidential Run Ended Marriage, Source Says
Source: Sheri Determan/WENN.com / WENN After months of speculation, Kim Kardashian has officially filed for divorce from Kanye West and it appears the reason was right in front of the public’s eye the entire time. According to a source close to the situation, West’s failed presidential campaign was what split the couple apart. PEOPLE got the exclusive scoop from the source, revealing that West has been texting folks within his close circle saying that he’s seemingly aware that his Kanye 2020 campaign drove Kardashian past her breaking point. The source tells PEOPLE West has been “talking things through” for anyone he’s reached out about the situation. “He’s in that place of ‘if only,’” says the source. “‘If only I had done this, if only I hadn’t done that.’ He’s processing things.” T...

Source: Rich Fury / Getty Megan Thee Stallion’s momentum already can’t be stopped, and now she has gotten some words of encouragement from Representative Maxine Waters telling her to keep doing what she is doing. The Houston rapper and Auntie Maxine sat down for an interview as part of Megan Thee Stallion landing the cover of Harper’s BAZAAR’s March 2021 issue. The virtual meeting of the two powerful Black women in their own right came after Thee Stallion’s powerful New York Times op-ed titled “Why I Speak Up for Black Women” that caught Waters’ attention, moving her to write a letter the leader of the Hot Girls applauding her piece. Waters wrote, “I read the op-ed you wrote that appeared in the New York Times recently, and I can’t thank you enough for bringing much-needed attent...

Wiz Khalifa ft. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie “Millions,” Juice WRLD “Conversations,” & More | Daily Visuals 2.23.21
Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz It’s close to a year since Wiz Khalifa released the deluxe version of his EP The Saga of Wiz Khalifa and though he’s dropped seemingly hundreds of visuals since then the man finally got around to dropping a video for one of the album’s standout tracks. Linking up with A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie for his visuals to “Millions,” Wiz puffs on that sticky icky (no surprise) and uses some crazy special effects to entice viewers and show them what it’s like when they puff that Khalifa Kush. We needs some of that right about now. Juice WRLD fans meanwhile get to celebrate the memory of the man as today we get the posthumous clip to “Conversations” where after some dirt bikin’ and concert footage we get a never before heard freestyle from the young rapper.
