Monkeypox Declared A Public Health Emergency In The U.S.
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Alex Wong / Getty As the number of monkeypox cases has risen in the United States, the federal government has seen enough to declare it a public health emergency.

The declaration also releases emergency funding and allows for the hiring of additional workers. “We’re prepared to take our response to the next level,” Secretary Becerra said during the briefing held at...

Raves, Resilience and Rapture: How Ray Volpe Overcame His Lowest Moment to Produce a Game-Changing Record
They say success isn’t about luck, connections or even money. It’s the discipline to outwork everyone around you—a tenet which Ray Volpe has long been tethered to. The byproduct is Legend of the Volpetron, his new EP, out now by way of Disciple. The inventive record effectively pours gasoline on the broiling career of Volpe, who was named to EDM.com‘s Class of 2022 earlier this year. It’s a dazzling showcase of his generational production talents, which extend far beyond the confines of his breakout hit, “Laserbeam.” “It sounds cheesy, but it means everything to me! It’s a moment in time that I’ll look back on years from now,” Volpe tells EDM.com of his new EP. “I really wanted to mash everything I loved a...
Eliminate and XAELO Team Up for Emotive Single, “Nothing Left”
Eliminate‘s latest single teeters precariously on the brink of emotional ruin. “Nothing Left” sees the Class of 2021 star joining forces with XAELO for a brooding record that pairs his melodic trap sensibilities with heart-wrenching lyricism. “Losing you is like taking my last breath,” XAELO elegiacally sings amid a smooth trap flow from Eliminate. Though he’s typically one to let his robust and often frenetic sound design do the bulk of the talking, Eliminate instead opts to let the track’s soul-stirring lyrics take center stage while following up each verse with his signature synth work. Cruising into the song’s final act, Eliminate doses the vocal up with filters and vocoder-based effects, effectively harmonizing the poignan...
