Noah “40” Shebib Tells His Story in New Short Documentary With Rare Footage: Watch
Noah “40” Shebib, the Drake collaborator and OVO producer, is the subject of a new short documentary called Toronto Rising. The Alim Sabir–directed film features rare footage from Shebib’s life, a discussion of some of his early work with Drake, and more. He also opens up about living with multiple sclerosis. Watch it below. “I’ve always considered myself a visitor in hip-hop,” Shebib said. “When I was 21, I got diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. I learned a lesson in the hospital, which was that as long as I had at least one finger that still worked, no matter what the world took from me, I could play the keyboard and I could make music. All the things in my life just kind of pointed me in one direction. I’m here to play my part and to leave my impact, but from my perspective, I was a gue...
Travis Scott to Perform at 2022 Billboard Music Awards
Travis Scott is performing at the 2022 Billboard Music Awards. The awards show will broadcast live on NBC this Sunday, May 15 at 8 p.m. Eastern. The BBMAs performance will mark Scott’s first major public appearance since the 2021 Astroworld Festival that left 10 people dead. Astroworld took place in November 2021, and Scott has slowly been returning to the public eye. In late March, he performed a brief set at a private pre-Oscars house party in Bel Air, California. The following month, the rapper also appeared at a Coachella afterparty, where he played five of his own songs during a brief DJ set in a La Quinta Venue. He was then featured on Southside and Future’s single “Hold That Heat,” and was announced as a performer at three South American music festivals. In addition to Travis Scott,...
SPIN First Drop Coachella 2022: The Martinez Brothers
Hailing from The Bronx, The Martinez Brothers are widely known for their extended DJ marathon sets in Ibiza and at the legendary Club Space in Miami. They never prepare their sets ahead of time, preferring to feel the vibe and pick up on the energy of the crowd. As producers, they’ve released major club records, spanning from their break out “H2 Da Izzo” in 2012 to their 2019 Lil Yachty Feat. Lil Baby “SaintLaurentYSL” remix.

Kanye West Drops New Visuals To “Life of The Party”
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Yeezy GAP / YEEZY GAP In celebration of Mother’s Day yesterday (May 8), last night FOX premiered Kanye West’s new visuals to Donda‘s “Life of The Party” during Family Guy and not only was it actually pretty cool, he didn’t even threaten Pete Davidson in it. Progress! Though this isn’t the version that saw the legendary André 3000 drop a ridiculously creative verse and Kanye call out Drake in his bars, Kanye did get his bars off on this version too. For the video Kanye uses old pictures of himself during his childhood years while incorporating some CGI to make his younger self rap his verses. Ultimately the visual concludes with a home video of a young Kanye in 1990 rapping at a family gathering while the adults went about their business not knowing they w...

MTA Instructs Bus Drivers Not To Open Rear Doors In Effort To Cut Down On Fare Evasion
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Noam Galai / Getty Not too long ago the MTA announced that they were planning on cracking down on fare evaders who hop on public transportation without paying for their ride and now bus drivers have been instructed to stop opening the rear doors which allow people to get on without paying a cent. According to the New York Post, the MTA is instructing bus drivers to keep rear doors closed whenever allowing passengers to board the bus as many New Yorkers creep through the back to avoid paying the $2.75 it costs to get on the bus.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ubisoft / Tom Clancy’s The Division 2 Remember Tom Clancy’s The Division 2? Well, it’s still here and is getting some much-needed new content.

Chloe’s journey to self-discovery continues — but now, it’s with Chris (and only good vibes) by her side. This week’s Siesta Key featured the zen blonde still reeling from her recent talk with Sam (a little sage over here, please!). Resolving to take a break from “the Sam and Juliette sh*tstorm,” Chloe found herself focused on getting settled into her new home with Chris, despite hearing from friends and family that the two are “moving way too quickly.” Even Chloe’s mom expressed concern over the pair’s swift move-in — while bringing up her daughter’s past. “She used to be quite a handful. I just hope she never goes back in that direction,” Michelle said. Chris was quick t...
