HHW PREMIERE: Xay Capisce Drops New Clip For “U Can’t Tell”
Source: Key Note Ent. / Dominic Fondon It’s been a minute since we’ve had an artist come out of Alabama representing the Southern state with such rich history. But for the past few years Xay Capisce has been doing what he can to put the Yellowhammer State back on the map and today he continues to put his home on his back and mush forward. Dropping off music on his own label Key Note Entertainment, Xay comes through with some new visuals to “U Can’t Tell” which brings back memories of Jay-Z and Jermaine Dupri’s “Money Ain’t A Thang” video. Racing Porches with some young women, Capisce turns his home streets into a racetrack in the Dominic Fondon directed clip while leaving us wondering who won. Looks like he had the lead on the women but in the end, we can’t tell who won for real. Xay for h...
Run The Jewels’s Evergreen Protest, Janelle Monáe’s Defining Anthems, And More Songs We Love
Janelle Monáe is a Black queer woman, and this is her palace. “Django Jane,” and Dirty Computer, the epic, unapologetically feminist “emotion picture” from which it hails, came out in 2018, but it just as well could have dropped this week. Monáe’s outrage — at the entertainment industry making racist evaluations of her worth, at Black femmes being silenced and denied platforms — seeps into every syllable. “Runnin’ outta space in my damn bandwagon / Remember when they used to say I look too mannish?” she raps. “Black girl magic, y’all can’t stand it.” If the Black woman is “the most unprotected person in America,” then Monáe is steadying her shield. —Sam Manzella You Deserve to Make Money Even When you are looking for Dates Online.

Bobby Duque, MONÄVA, and Trice Be Drop Kaleidoscopic Music Video for Wonky Trap Single “Younger” [Premiere]
Bobby Duque and MONÄVA have joined forces for “Younger,” a new collaborative single featuring Las Vegas-based singer-songwriter Trice Be with nostalgic lyrics that yearn for the simpler times of the past. “Younger” looks at the past through rose-colored glasses. With melancholic chord progressions and subtle brass, the production of the verses strikes a wistful chord under the pensive vocals of Trice Be. Trice Be’s vocal effort here is phenomenal, blending reggae and soul to aching effect. “One could say that we were ignorant / But that don’t take away our innocence,” he sings. “I dream, awake, of going back again / To feel that love that seems to never end.” The smooth production is juxtaposed, however, by...
Aluna Francis of AlunaGeorge Pens Social Media Letter About Racist Experiences in Music Industry
Aluna Francis of renowned musical duo AlunaGeorge took to Instagram today to pen a letter about her experiences with racism in the music industry. Francis, who is the venerated voice behind some of the most celebrated songs in dance music, detailed how she feels “practically invisible” despite her significant contributions to music from white collaborators. “Over the years I’ve accepted my role as the black accessory to white peoples dance music, internally bowing and scraping for these opportunities with no acknowledgement for my contribution because I’m just used to it. I would stand on huge stages singing to thousands of white people, bringing soul, meaning and magic while feeling like an alien,” Francis wrote. “Deep down I know dance music isn’t white m...
