Watch Robyn Use a Selfie Stick to Rock Out to “Dancing On My Own” in Quarantine Video
A little over ten years ago, the music world was rocked when Robyn released “Dancing On My Own.” The song would go on to become an unofficial anthem for the LGBTQ+ community, universally uniting those who’ve felt cast away to the shadows through the themes of isolation and loneliness. To this day you can’t go to a Pride parade and not hear this track being belt out by the masses. The song now comes with a different meaning due to the unwavering stay at home ordinances in place amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and its beauty has now been reignited by the queen herself. She recently shared a quarantine video, which is directed by Crille Forsberg, Maria ‘Decida’ Wahlberg, and Robyn herself, in which she performs “Dancing On My Own”...
Nora En Pure Drops Hypnotic House Tune, Has “Steady Stream of New Music” On the Way
Renowned deep house producer Nora En Pure has been a production machine while under lockdown. The South African-Swiss DJ dynamo, who has been relatively quiet on the release front in 2020, will be releasing “a steady stream of new music over the rest of the year,” according to a press release issued for her new single “All I Need.” Returning to Swiss house label and frequent collaborator Enormous Tunes, Nora dropped the curtain on “All I Need” and shared an instant classic. “All I Need” churns along to the bewitchingly melancholic sound design that has become synonymous with Nora and her brand over the course of the last decade, using subtle synth plucks and aching vocals to deliver a spellbinding deep house number. The forthcoming ...

Christopher Nolan’s Tenet Gets Delayed Two Weeks
For months now, Hollywood has setting its sights on the July 17th release of Christopher Nolan’s Tenet as the day movie theaters across the country begin opening back up.

Nicki Minaj Continues To Defend Working With Tekashi 6ix9ine, Says Rappers Hating Ain’t Built Like That
Source: @nickiminaj / Instagram The Hip-Hop culture was dismayed and even offended that Nicki Minaj would decide to once again work with known government informant, Tekashi 6ix9ine, but if we’ve learned anything about Nicki these last few years it’s that she could give two f*cks about what her fans have to say. During an IG Live session with Tekashi, Nicki explained that she understood why people felt the way they felt about snitching “because they lived that life,” but also feels that “rappers need to play it easy” because they love talking it but ain’t living it. After suggesting that a street rapper would have no problem signing a record deal with a “rat executive,” Nicki went on to say “let’s be clear when we talk about rappers versus street n*ggas. It’s rappers that put guns they ain’...
Young Buck Tells Judge He’s So Broke If Anyone Robbed Him They’d Just Be Practicing
Source: photo: Instagram Last month we reported that Young Buck had filed for bankruptcy in what appeared to be a last minute effort to avoid paying 50 Cent and G-Unit money owed from previous dealings. Now in documents obtained by Bossip we’re getting a clearer picture of Buck’s financial situation and it is not pretty for the man who once tried to teach us how to ball. Aside from saying he’s relying on his current girlfriend for financial support, also revealed that he owed $50,239 to the IRS and another $106,000 in child support to two baby mamas in both Georgia and Tennessee. And unfortunately his only source of income stem from past mixtape sales (not albums) which could barely cover a years worth of rent in most states. He lists that his only source of income this year was...

Trump Rolls Back Health Care Protections For LGBTQ+ People On Pulse Anniversary
On Friday (June 12) the Trump administration finalized a rule to roll back Obama-era non-discrimination protections for LGBTQ+ people when it comes to health care and health insurance. The plan was released on the fourth anniversary of the Pulse massacre, when a gunman opened fire at an Orlando gay bar, killing 49 people. The decision, which arrives amidst the national crises of COVID-19 and racial violence, changes Section 1557 of the Affordable Care Act to interpret sex discrimination based on “the plain meaning of the word ‘sex’ as male or female and as determined by biology,” according to a statement from the Department of Health and Human Services. The Obama-era rule previously prohibited discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender id...
