Future ft. Drake & Tems “Wait For U,” A$AP Rocky “D.M.B.” & More | Daily Visuals 5.6.22
HipHopWired Featured Video The “Toxic King’ is all in his element in his latest album, I Never Liked U, and for his latest visuals, Future shows everyone that even a fairytale love won’t have a happy ending if he has anything to say about it. In his latest video to “Wait For U,” Future goes the medieval route and while he and his wifey send each other wax seal stamped letters about his cheating ways (LOL), while Drake is out there riding horses and saving damsels in distress with his sword which is no doubt made of Valyrian steel… from Canada. He is the King of The North after all. Could this be Drake’s audition for the new Game of Thrones series? Could be but his sword game need work because even Brandon Stark would’ve done him dirty. Just sayin.’ Back in 2022, A$AP Rocky seems to be a ma...
Peep The Latest Teaser Trailer To ‘Game Of Thrones: House of The Dragon’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ollie Upton / HBO HBO’s Game of Thrones might’ve gone out with a whimper (damn you, all!), but that isn’t keeping them from revisiting the franchise with a new series centered around the events that eventually led to the medieval fantasy epic that captivated the world from 2011 to 2019. HBO released their latest teaser trailer for Game of Thrones: House of The Dragon and whether or not fans will want to take a leap of faith on this restoring their faith in the franchise will henge on the series storyline. Set hundreds of years before the OG Game of Thrones, the series finds King Viserys Targaryen (Paddy Considine) ruling on the Iron Throne while his own blonde haired family scheme on ways to ascend to power themselves. Rather Trumpian if you ask us. Just ...
Kendrick Lamar Morphs Into OJ, Ye, Kobe, Jussie Smollet, Will Smith & Nipsey Hussle in New Video
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / Youtube Kendrick Lamar manages to up the ante on his already highly-anticipated new album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. The Compton rapper dropped a new song and video for “The Heart Part 5” from the forthcoming new project. While his fifth album drop this Friday, on Sunday (May 8), he dropped a new video loaded with bars and some chilling video effects. The visual starts off simply with a pensive-looking Lamar rapping slightly off-center in front of the camera with a maroon backdrop (and an initial written message of “I am All of us.”). But as he kicks his bars over a subtle instrumental that samples Marvin Gaye’s “I Want You” he first transforms into the distinctive face of OJ Simpson.

The teen pop superstar covered No Doubt’s 1995 classic “Just a Girl” at her shows at the Metropolitan Opera House in Philadelphia over the weekend, days after she was photographed with No Doubt frontwoman Gwen Stefani at the Met Gala in New York.

Kevin Morby Captures the Present
Kevin Morby grew up in Overland Park, Kansas, a suburb roughly 20 minutes outside of downtown Kansas City. We’ve both lived here at different points in time, and as we chat in Union Station, a historic landmark in the heart of the city, we instantly make connections over high schools, street intersections, and formative memories. The indie-folk singer-songwriter has used places as a leitmotif throughout his music, and his fascination with them is evident. Many of his records draw direct inspiration from them. His debut album, 2013’s Harlem River, explores his move to New York City; 2016’s Singing Saw tethers itself to Los Angeles, where Morby moved after New York; 2020’s Sundowner pays tribute to Morby’s home in Kansas City and his eventual return to it. There’s something poetic about...
