Price Still Right: Fat Joe Announces One-Man Show, Dave Chappelle Will Intro
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Mindy Small / Getty Fat Joe is a great storyteller—historically in his music and more recently on social media.

And to sweeten the deal, the show will reportedly be getting a special introduction by none other than Dave Chappelle. Related Stories “The world will be getting Fat Joe at his most authentic, vulnerable, and comedic self on that stage,” Joe told TMZ Hip-Hop. “I’ve always taken pride in my storytelling, but we’re about to take it to the next level.

Pusha T Shines Brightly In Vevo’s ‘CTRL’ Series Performance [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Tim Mosenfelder / Getty Pusha T doesn’t have anything left to prove in Hip-Hop as he is consistently considered one of the most precise rappers to emerge in the game. That same laserlike focus was present in King Push’s recent performance for Vevo’s CTRL series, shining brightly as he performed two tracks from his latest studio album, It’s Almost Dry. Pusha T and his airtight delivery remain the hallmark of his still ongoing career, along with his descriptive ways of breaking down the ins and outs of the drug trade. While Pusha’s subject matter might be rote to some, his abilities are such that it still sounds fresh even some two decades later. For the CTRL performance, Push rocks the Kanye West-produced “Dreamin Of The Past” and the Pharrell Willams-prod...

Blizzard Insists ‘Diablo IV’ Won’t Feature Pay-To-Win Mechanics
Despite Diablo Immortal earning upwards of $100 million USD in just the two months since its release, Blizzard continues to insist that Diablo IV will not feature any pay-to-win mechanics. In a new blog post detailing the game’s development updates, the publisher says that while the title will feature an in-game store and optional season passes, it will remain a full-priced game, meaning you won’t be able to pay your way to victory. The only way you’ll be able to level up your character and your gear is to actually play the game. If you’re hoping to spend money, Blizzard will indeed be offering a premium season pass whenever it launches a new season, which it says should last around two months each. However, the paid track will only give you access to more cosmetic items for your...

5 Albums I Can’t Live Without: John Sebastian
Name John Sebastian Best known for A certain performance at Woodstock. Current city The thriving metropolis of Woodstock, NY. Really want to be in Fiesole, Italy What would you be doing there? Sitting around and having a plate of gnocchi. Excited about The absence of touring is as exciting to me as touring used to be. I am delighted about the project with Arlen Roth (John Sebastian and Arlen Roth Explore the Spoonful Songbook,September 2021) who basically invited me to do such an album which I never considered because I heard so many bad cuts of old songs. Arlen’s particular skills and the way we go together as guitar players made it a lot of fun. My current music collection has a lot of Jug band music. And a little bit of Other stuff. (Rhythm...
Björk Details ‘Organic, Spacious’ New Album Featuring Her Children
Björk has unveiled details of her first album in five years in a new interview with The Guardian. The project is titled Fossora (Latin for “digger”) and is expected to be released this fall. Björk’s children Sindri and Ísadóra sing on the album, as does serpentwithfeet, while the Indonesian group Gabber Modus Operandi is also featured. Writes journalist Chal Ravens of Fossora, “on the cover, she is a glowing forest sprite, her fingertips fusing with the fantastic fungi under her hooves. Compared with the cloudy electronics of 2017’s Utopia, it is organic and spacious, earthbound rather than dreamy, and filled with warmth and breath. It is also a world of contrasts: the album’s two lodestones are bass clarinet and violent outbursts of gabber. There are moments of astonishing virtuosity and ...
Every R.E.M. Album, Ranked
Michael Stipe met Peter Buck in an Athens, Georgia record store in January 1980, and that fortuitous moment spawned one of the defining ‘80s bands. Joined by the rhythm section of Bill Berry and Mike Mills, R.E.M. worked up a jangly yet esoteric sound – equal parts Velvet Underground and The Byrds — that quickly became their signature. Their ascent was remarkable: Each of the quartet’s first nine albums sold as much or more than the one before, turning them into household names in the ’90s. Berry’s retirement in 1997 marked the end of R.E.M.’s classic era, but the remaining trio carried on, recording five more albums that earned mixed reviews. But when the band finally disbanded in 2011, they left behind one of alternative rock’s most important catalogs, including 15 restlessly a...
