Teyana Taylor Announces Retirement, Airs Out Def Jam Amidst Alleged Exit
Source: 2020HHA / Getty Teyana Taylor has announced that she has officially retired from music. As previously reported, on Saturday (Nov 5), Teyana Taylor took to Instagram to share the unexpected news that she was walking away from the music industry. In a post that featured her year-end Spotify analytics, the “Bare With Me” singer and mother of two announced that she would be retiring. “Wow, who did that? Y’all did that! Thank you,” she wrote. “I ain’t gone front in times of feeling super under appreciated as a artist, receiving little to no real push from the ‘machine,’ constantly getting the shorter end of the stick, being overlooked, I mean the list on and on lol… I’m retiring this chapter of my story with the comfort that i can depart with peace of mind seeing that all the hard work ...
Meek Mill ft. Vory “Middle Of It,” King Von “Wayne’s Story” & More | Daily Visuals 12.8.20
Source: press handout / King Von For a minute there Meek Mill was the darling of Hip-Hop. Having been unjustly targeted by a seemingly vindictive judge and sentenced to prison for poppin’ wheelies, the culture was riding with him throughout his hardships and obstacles. Then he came home and used social media only to once again have fans sour on him like it was 2015. Still, the man can rap and comes through with some new visuals to the Vory featured “Middle Of It” in which Meek takes to the block and just dripping in ridiculous ice. No wonder them kids selling water was mad at him for having to split the $20 he gave them. Back in Chicago fans of King Von still mourn his untimely death but the man was able to make a few visuals before his passing. “Wayne’s Story” is the latest posthumous cli...
Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo is Selling Over 2,000 Unreleased Demos
We didn’t get a new Weezer album this year, but frontman Rivers Cuomo has arguably given diehard fans a better gift. The 50-year-old rocker recently created an online marketplace where he’s selling over 2,000 unreleased demos, spanning the pre-Weezer years all the way up to the band’s 2015 era. Located in the “Market” section of his Mister Rivers’ Neighborhood website, Cuomo has ten different compilations for sale that are organized based on different periods of his creative history. Each demo pack costs just $9, but the track counts range from 26 in the concise “Best of the Demos” comp to a whopping 1,113 (that’s over 38 hours of music!) for “The EWBAITE Years”, which encompasses the 2011-2014 era. Fans of Weezer’s early work will surely be tantalized by the 72 demos in the coveted “Blue-...
10-Year-Old Nandi Bushell Covers Muse’s “Hysteria”, Earns Praise From Band: Watch
10-year-old Nandi Bushell has already defeated Dave Grohl in a drum-off, received Kirk Hammett stamp of approval for her “Enter Sandman” cover, and was even gifted a Tom Morello signature guitar for her viral rendition of Rage Against The Machine’s “Guerilla Radio”. But that hasn’t stopped the musical prodigy from continuing her quest to conquer all corners of the rock world. On Sunday, Bushell posted a video of herself nailing the complex drum and bass parts for Muse’s proggy 2003 song “Hysteria”. “Ever since I jammed ‘Hysteria’ by Muse on drums I wanted to learn the bass line too as it’s so so #awesome!”, the whiz kid wrote on Twitter. “It is the HARDEST bass line I have ever learned. I had to concentrate A LOT!” Like all of her previous covers, Bushell played the parts flawlessly ...
Nick Cave Says He Will Record a New Album in Lieu of Touring
Because of the ongoing pandemic, Nick Cave has been forced to cancel both his 2020 and 2021 tour dates. However, the gothic rock veteran doesn’t plan on just sitting around and bingeing TV shows for the next few months. Intent on making the most of his newfound down time, Cave has announced that he will begin recording a new album. Cave revealed the exciting tidbit on his Red Hand Files Q&A website while replying to a fan who had expressed her sadness over the tour cancellation news. The Australian musician first addressed the scrapped concerts, writing, “When the pandemic first hit and we had to postpone the European tour I was given the opportunity to take stock, and to see what I actually wanted to do with my life.” “Well, I took stock. I took a year’s stock. I came to the conclusio...
Tom Petty’s Estate Releases “Something Could Happen” Video Starring Lauren Cohan: Watch
Tom Petty’s estate has released a new music video for “Something Could Happen”. It’s directed by Warren Fu (The Strokes, Daft Punk) and stars The Walking Dead’s Lauren Cohan. “Something Could Happen” appears on Wildflowers & All the Rest, Petty’s new double album reissue of his 1994 record Wildflowers. When finding inspiration for the track’s music video, Fu fell hard for “Into the Great Wide Open”, off Petty’s 1991 album of the same name, and decided to create a modern spinoff on its imaginative, out-of-left-field video. “In looking back on Tom’s old music videos, it was obvious that he had a lot of fun with them and was not afraid to get a bit weird,” said Fu in a statement. “I wanted to create another modern fairytale in the spirit of Tom’s music video for ‘Into the Great Wide Open’...
Is Teen Mom 2‘s Jade Really ‘Done’ With Sean Once And For All?
Jade and Sean celebrated their daughter Kloie’s birthday on tonight’s Teen Mom 2 episode, but, sadly, the two could not contain their negative feelings toward each other and fought at their now-three-year-old’s party dinner. “I’m done. I want him out of my house,” Jade told her mother Christy and producer post-bickering. But what led to this firm statement at what was supposed to be a happy occasion? At first, the mini bash (which included Christy and her husband Corey) felt positive: Kloie gleefully opened presents from her grandma, and everyone enthusiastically sang “Happy Birthday.” But the mood immediately soured when Christy brought up preschool. “She’s three,” Jade began. “She misses going to her daycare, but he&...
Tainy Is a Secret Force in Modern Reggaetón
At 15 years old, reggaetón producer Marco Masís, artistically known as Tainy, couldn’t have imagined being the backbone of some of the new millennium’s biggest Latin hits. A fortunate encounter with the producer Nely “El Arma Secreta,” led to his demo being passed to Luny Tunes, the production duo responsible for Daddy Yankee’s ubiquitous “Gasolina.” Luny appreciated Tainy’s sleek production style and unwavering diligence. Consequently, Nely gifted Tainy the digital audio workstation FL Studios, and, after giving him a basic grasp on the software, Luny tasked Tainy with making a song to show his skills. After tenacious practice, Tainy’s test track ended up on Luny Tunes’ 2005 compilation album, Mas Flow 2. Born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, Tainy found himself in the cultural epice...
Kaskade Speeds Ahead With Second Monstercat & Rocket League Single, “Solid Ground”
After breaking some very big news last week about starting a new chapter in his career alongside Monstercat, Kaskade is going full speed ahead, releasing his second single with the label already this month. The producer’s latest, “Solid Ground,” is a colorful house release that presents a stark stylistic contrast to the Kaskade’s first Monstercat offering, “Flip Reset.” The song strikes a balance between candid, melancholic breakdowns and invigorating drops with its heart-tugging vocals, proving to be the perfect transitional catalyst. Kaskade hits the gas, releasing a barrage of melodic leads, dicing things up with powerful low end growls and flashing appearances of the dance music vet’s signature deep house basslines in a flurry. Like &...
