Now 30, the English-born, Los Angeles-based artist is delivering some of his best work to date on Illusion of Depth, which spans jungle, rave, melodic trance and DnB and maintains the cockiness Zo’s earlier output while also demonstrating his maturity as a producer and human.

Megan Thee Stallion Slams ‘Dumb Comment’ Criticizing Her ‘Protect Black Women’ Essay: ‘This Is Sad’
“I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him,” Megan wrote for the NYT, in reference to the July incident in which Tory Lanez is accused of shooting her in the foot from outside his vehicle after an argument. “We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place. My initial silence about what happened was out of fear for myself and my friends. Even as a victim, I have been met with skepticism and judgment. The way people have publicly questioned and debated whether I played a role in my own violent assault proves that my fears about discussing what happened were, unfortunately, warranted.” Despite the trolls, Megan also received an overwhelmi...

Megan Thee Stallion Speaks Out For Black Women: ‘We Deserve To Be Protected’
Despite a show-stopping year that saw her first pair of No. 1 singles and a culture-defining song (and video) that spawned a lucrative, entertaining cycle of performative outrage from the typical talking heads, Megan Thee Stallion has endured her fair share of trauma in 2020. On Tuesday (October 13), she expounded on that trauma in a New York Times op-ed. “I was recently the victim of an act of violence by a man. After a party, I was shot twice as I walked away from him,” Meg wrote, referring to a July incident involving her and rapper Tory Lanez. “We were not in a relationship. Truthfully, I was shocked that I ended up in that place.” (Meg named Tory as the shooter a month after the attack. He’s since been charged with assault.) “My initial silence abou...

Asked in a new video interview with SiriusXM‘s Volume if he had any personal memories of Eddie to share with the viewers, Rob said (see video below): “When VAN HALEN‘s first album came out, JUDAS PRIEST‘s manager at the time, Dave Corke, comes over to my place, bangs on the door and he goes, ‘You’ve gotta come listen to this band. I’ve just been sent this cassette. It’s this band called VAN HALEN. You’ve gotta listen to this cassette.’ And I didn’t have a cassette player at home — I had a record player, but not a cassette player. So I...

A guy like that doesn’t come around except once a century, once a decade, or however you wanna say it. Guys like that are extraordinary. He innovated so many things with the guitar. And [he was] just an amazing, amazing force. “It’s very sad. I had no idea he was battling that for a while. He kind of did it real quietly, and it was really abrupt. “So, very sad. But we’ve all gotta go at some point, and he had a really good run. That being said, h...

TED NUGENT Calls TOMMY LEE ‘A Convicted Felon, Domestic Violence Heroin Addict’
In a new interview with Blunt Force Truth, Ted Nugent discussed his recent appearance on Sammy Hagar‘s AXS TV reality series “Rock & Roll Road Trip With Sammy Hagar”. The outspoken conversative rocker, who is also an avid hunter, said (see video below): “Sammy Hagar just came out, and [we shot footage for] his ‘Rock & Roll Road Trip’ on AXS TV. The producers wouldn’t let him near me, even though he and I go way back; we’re dear friends. They thought I was dangerous, that I’d come out with a machine gun or I’d slaughter an innocent fawn on television. This is stupidity! I said, ‘So your producers were afraid of me, but they did a show with [MÖTLEY CRÜE drummer] Tommy Lee, who’s a convicted felon, domestic violen...
