The feud between the two rappers apparently permeated into the crowd, as audience members repeatedly interrupted Cudi’s set by throwing objects at him and chanting West’s name.

The Ledger: Royalty Growth Requires Changing More Than How They’re Calculated
The Ledger is a weekly newsletter about the economics of the music business sent to Billboard Pro subscribers. An abbreviated version of the newsletter is published online. If The Beatles wrote a song about music royalties, the band would sing about a “Long and Winding Road” to higher subscription fees and better pay for artists and labels. The music subscription business model has become the record industry’s main breadwinner since launching in the early 2000s. But for two decades, many artists and rights holders have bristled at the royalty rates paid by streaming services. Some rates have improved: ad-supported royalties grew as online advertising matured. Royalties from subscription services have less wiggle room for change, however. The biggest innovation is a change in how to divvy a...

Listen to Chris Lorenzo and COBRAH’s Sultry Tech House Banger, “Mami”
It’s no secret that tech house is having a moment, and one of the genre’s leading producers today unveiled one of its most hotly anticipated tracks. Long revered as one of the most gifted sound designers in house music, Chris Lorenzo has dropped “Mami,” a sultry house bomb that has been running roughshod in his live sets this year, including EDC Las Vegas and Lollapalooza. The track features a seductive COBRAH, whose come-hither topline is akin to cognac and satin sheets. Lorenzo says he knew he had an instant hit on his hands when he first heard COBRAH’s lead “Mami” lyric, an unapologetic ode to hedonism. Combined with his signature, thick basslines and an ingenious steel drum pattern, it lends to a bona fide club banger. “I had been listeni...
How Northern Nights Music Festival Stays True to Its Roots
It’s only natural that music festivals would hold music as a central priority, but at Northern Nights, it’s not quite so simple. That’s mostly because as many come to the Humboldt-Mendocino county-line-straddling event for cannabis as they do for music, so attention gets split between the productions onstage and the many varied cannabis offerings at the festival. 2022’s iteration was no exception either. In fact, last weekend the kaleidoscopic forest rave used the very same two-pronged approach to throw its most evolved and integrated event to date. By making more than a few major strides from past editions of the now-paradigmatic music fest, 2022 wasn’t just a triumphant post-pandemic return. For the ragtag band of dance music-loving misfits turned world-class event producers ...
