Get your trap elbows up because Dirty Audio and NXSTY have dropped the curtain on their highly anticipated collab “Inferno.” After a number major artists in trap and bass music supported the unreleased tune, including Henry Fong, Wuki, ETC!ETC!, and UZ, it is finally now out via Yellow Claw‘s Barong Family banner.

Vin Diesel Debuts First Single ‘Feel Like I Do’ on ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show,’ Thanks to Kygo
As Vin Diesel navigates 2020 away from the Fast and Furious set, he video chatted Kelly Clarkson on her show Thursday (Sept. 24) from a recording studio to premiere his debut single “Feel Like I Do” in collaboration with Kygo. “Feel Like I Do” is the first solo single by the action movie star and according to Diesel, the first song on Kygo’s record label Palm Tree Records.

A day after announcing that he and Gigi Hadid have welcomed a baby daughter into the world, Zayn has welcomed another creation into this earthly realm: his latest single, “Better,” a lovely slice of R&B pop anchored by Z’s massive, massive voice. The breezy, endearing song debuted alongside a sparse but stately video, where the heavily tattooed new daddy Zaddy dresses himself in fine menswear and stares moodily out the window of a nice house — all while he’s being spied on. Like a celebrity. Or an actual spy. As Zayn sings with red highlighted hair, “Your dad probably loves me more than he ever did now / ‘Cause I finally got out / Yeah, we finally knocked down,” there’s a palpable air of second chances throughout “Better,” and...
