The Game Postpones ‘Drillmatic’ Album, Announces New Release Date
The Game took to social media on Monday to share that he would be postponing the release of his forthcoming LP Drillmatic after a rough couple of weeks.

I have witnessed disloyalty on levels unimaginable by people I’ve trusted with my heart, money, career & livelihood.” “Not only have I been backstabbed & betrayed. I’ve been left to pick up the pieces alone,” he continued. “I’m in no way shape or form ...

Beyoncé surprised fans on Wednesday with a four-track “Break My Soul” remix EP, featuring revamped cuts of her popular RENAISSANCE track by Honey Dijon, will.i.am, Terry Hunter and Nita Aviance.

Beyoncé Removes Kelis Sample From Album After “Theft” Claim
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Prince Williams / Getty Beyoncé has moved to remove the interpolation from a smash hit by Kelis from her latest album after the singer spoke out about not being contacted at all during the process of creating the song. According to reports, the original version of “Energy” off of the superstar’s recent album Renaissance featured her singing a variation of a recognizable line from Kelis’ 2003 hit “Milkshake” from her album, Tasty.

DJ Khaled Announces Release Date For ‘GOD DID’ & New “Anthem” With Drake & Lil Baby
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Is it truly summer without a new album from DJ Khaled? Apparently not, and now we have the release date and the name of the first single from Khaled’s latest project. Who said we need a new feature-filled album from DJ Khaled before the summer ends?

A Day in the Life of…Wallows
Playing Lollapalooza is a big step forward for any band. But for Wallows, who were playing the event for the second time in their career, the moment was even more substantial. With a mid-day slot on the T-Mobile stage (one of the two main stages), it was a chance to see how far they’ve come in four years. They’ve been here before, but the pre-game jitters still exist. “There’s more pressure because we’re in a much bigger slot,” frontman Dylan Minnette says in the band’s dressing room a few hours before the set. “And we’re a bigger band compared to what we were then. There was pressure last time since it was our first festival we’d done as Wallows. You try not to have expectations or hopes of what it will look like [from the crowd]. I always get a little nervous before festival sets more th...
