Feds Say Casanova Was Promoting His Gang Allegiance With His Iced Out Pendant
Source: @Stretchd_34 of http://www.p3.photography / Radio One Digital Just when it seemed like “Hip-Hop Police” was a unit that was left behind in the mid to late 00’s, rappers G Herbo and Casanova have found themselves targeted by authorities and facing numerous federal charges seemingly out the blue. Now that Casanova 2X has turned himself into police, information about his arrest have begun to surface including how the Brooklyn rapper allegedly promoted his gang ties right under everyone’s noses. According to Page Six, the “Don’t Run” rapper who authorities claim is a member of the Untouchable Gorilla Stone Gang would promote his allegiance to the crew by rocking iced out gorilla pendants on his person. And here we were just thinking it meant he was a gorilla out on these streets. An in...

Paris Jackson On How Radiohead and Mushrooms Inspired Her Debut
While making her debut solo album, Paris Jackson wasn’t concerned about flaunting her musical heritage. “It’s really just about the music itself,” says the 22-year-old singer-songwriter and daughter of Michael Jackson. “I’ve been writing for a really long time, and I wanted to get into the studio.” The end result is the recently released wilted, an ethereal concept record on “heartbreak, betrayal, grief and rebirth” that, says Jackson, “tells my journey.” She reveals who awoke her inner artist — and what she surrounded herself with in order to open up.

First Beat: New Music by Lil Baby, 24kGoldn Rico Nasty and More
Lil Baby refuses to hit pause on his banner year. In honor of his 25th birthday this week, Baby resumed his hot streak with two new explosive tracks. Whether the discussion is finances or street prowess, Lil Baby swiftly breaks down his credentials on “Errbodyy.” He also reminds folks why he doesn’t take any offers lower than $100,000. Meanwhile, “On Me” finds Baby in a more focused zone. Instead of celebrating his wins, he’s pensive.

Dua Lipa Throws a Joyful Living Room Party For NPR Tiny Desk Home Concert
The teeny set marks one of the only performances Lipa has put on with her crew since the tour in support of her sophomore album Future Nostalgia was canceled in March. “It’s about manifesting good things into your life, when things aren’t quite going your way,” she said as an intro to the introspective ballad “Love Again.” The set, of course, ended with a living room dance jam version of the singer’s smash hit “Don’t Start Now.” And, even though we’re all still stuck at home for a bit longer as the COVID-19 pandemic rages out of control across the country, Lipa has been doing her best to keep us entertained. In fact, more than five million of DL’s fans tuned in to last Friday’s “Studio 2054”...

Chance the Rapper, Jeremih and Valee liven the party and overall holiday season in their “Are U Live” music video, which unwrapped itself on Thursday (Dec. 3). “Are U Live” was featured on Jeremih and Chance’s SoundCloud mixtape Jeremih & Chance’s Merry Christmas Lil Mama: Rewrapped that the Chicago natives released on Dec. 15, 2017. Now after Chance and Co. have “been trying to clear this record for THREE years,” as he noted on Twitter, the song has arrived on streaming services for the very first time with an accompanying Lyrical Lemonade visual. The three rappers get the party started, commit a couple of party fouls from broken glass to unsuccessful daps, and dance the night away in the Cole Bennett-directed clip, w...

Greta Van Fleet Announce New Album The Battle at Garden’s Gate, Unveil “Age of Machine”: Stream

The Godfather Coda: The Death of Michael Corleone Is Tighter, Leaner, and Self-Aware: Review
The Pitch: The Godfather trilogy has to be the most beloved hated idea in popular cinema. The Godfather, about the semi-reluctant rise of Michael Corleone (Al Pacino) to become the head of his family’s criminal organization, is one of the most watched and venerated American movies. The Godfather Part II, about Michael leveraging the last bit of his soul for control that isn’t his to take, broke a rule it could just as easily have created: it’s a sequel every bit as good as the original. The third Godfather movie, which sees Michael’s past replay itself in a violent burlesque? That’s a movie over which people are still personally aggrieved. They’ll come out of the woodwork to tell you The Godfather Part III sucked. Go ahead and post about it on social media, someone will find you and tell y...
100 gecs Unwrap New Anti-Christmas Song “sympathy 4 the grinch”: Stream
Consider the halls gec’d. The experimental pop duo 100 gecs have returned with a new Christmas song called “sympathy 4 the grinch” that wraps their signature quirks in silver and gold. Laura Les and Dylan Brady pack so many influences into their music that there’s no telling where they’ll draw from next, but this tune finds a cheerful middle ground between their neon electro-pop and early 2000s pop-punk. The ska-like verses sound like chiptune’d versions of a Reel Big Fish song, while the bouncy pre-chorus and crunchy guitar riffs during the hook throw it back to Good Charlotte’s “The Anthem”. Lyrically, the song is almost somewhat of an anti-Christmas tune. After Les complains that she “Wanted some speakers, Xbox, and t-shirts / I’ve been good like every single day/ Looked under my tree, ...
