Ty Dolla $ign has amassed a star-studded lineup for his new single. “Ego Death” boasts Kanye West and FKA twigs, as well as electronic music producer Skrillex and experimental artist serpentwithfeet. Stream the full song below. During his turn on the mic, Ty Dolla $ign speaks about the toxicity of ego and the freedom that comes with its death. “Ego death is where you find happiness,” raps the Los Angeles native. For his part, Kanye raps abouts mass incarceration and Black voter suppression. The Chicago MC also makes references to the NFL’s history of racism and that one time he feuded with Beck over his controversial Grammys win. Editors’ Picks “Ego Death” comes just 24 hours after the release of Kanye’s own God’s Country single “Wash Us in the Blood” featuring Travis ...
Beavis and Butt-Head Are Returning With New Episodes
New episodes of Beavis and Butt-Head are coming to Comedy Central. Mike Judge is resurrecting his beloved Gen X cartoon as part of a new deal with the cable network. In addition to two new seasons of Beavis and Butt-Head, the deal calls for spin-offs and specials, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “We are thrilled to be working with Mike Judge and the great team at 3 Arts again as we double down on adult animation at Comedy Central,” Chris McCarthy, head of ViacomCBS’ entertainment and youth group, said in a statement. “Beavis and Butt-Head were a defining voice of a generation, and we can’t wait to watch as they navigate the treacherous waters of a world light-years from their own.” In his own statement, Judge joked, “It seemed like the time was right to get stupid again...
Neil Young Steps Out Onto the Porch, Covers Bob Dylan for Latest Fireside Session: Watch
A few weeks after releasing his long “lost” album Homegrown, Neil Young is back with the latest edition of his Fireside Sessions. After playing at every fire pit and fireplace in his Colorado home over the first four episodes, the folk icon took to the barn for the most recent entry. Now, Young steps out onto his front porch — and into his personal teepee — for Fireside Session No. 6. With his wife Daryl Hannah behind the camera, Young delivered a set of politically pertinent songs from throughout his storied catalog. He opened with “Alabama” from Harvest before going into the Decade rarity “Campaigner”, his first time playing the song since 2008. He also dusted off the enduring Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young protest song “Ohio”, as well as the terribly...

Ty Dolla $ign Enlists Kanye West, FKA Twigs, Skrillex For ‘Ego Death’
Ty Dolla $ign, Skrillex, FKA Twigs and Kanye West walk into a bar… Wait, that’s just a new single. In a collaboration that could best be described as the second coming of West’s single “Fade,” Ty came through today with his latest collaboration-heavy track “Ego Death.” Featuring samples that only West or Skrillex can throw together, the (probably) bouncy instrumental to “Fade,” a West verse referencing Watch the Throne and Twigs’ magic touch, Ty’s latest single is a flex of his connections just as much as it’s a flex of his raspy vocals. The track also features serpentwithfeet, who worked with Ty on last year’s “Receipts.” “‘Ego Death’ is a very special record,” Ty said in a statement. “It’s always an honor working with my brother ‘Ye. He’s a genius and we make incredible records...

Having recently hit the 15th anniversary of their seminal debut, Phantoms, Acceptance is back in full force with a new 4-song EP, Wild, releasing on July 24 (Tooth & Nail Records) and rumors of a full album coming later this year. A handful of years removed from the decade-long hiatus that almost immediately followed Phantoms, Acceptance becoming more consistent both on the road and in the studio has been a welcome change for the band’s dedicated following. “The lyrics in ‘Cold Air’ present a snapshot of a community that is being broken apart by prejudice, indignation...
