Distressed by accumulating student loan debt, music producer and visual creative director Bdice reached out to 3LAU for feedback on an idea. What happened next changed the trajectory of his life forever. A multi-faceted creative, Bdice understood well the need to retain ownership of his work. He had been well versed in the possibilities of Web3 and was actively exploring opportunities to monetize his work. Unfortunately, Bdice tells EDM.com, he had found himself in dire straits from a financial standpoint. He’d gone through Audio Engineering & Music Production school, but the aftermath left him six figures in debt. Despite monthly payments, the interest continued to eat away his progress. He had spent $100,000 over 10 years in interest payments alone. Nonetheless, Bdice was...

‘Fast & Furious’ Producer Wants Franchise to Return to “Where We Started”
The Fast & Furious franchise is gearing up for its tenth installment, but it appears that producer Neal Moritz wants to scale back the premise of the film. Over the years, the franchise has taken a turn to become one of the more outlandish action-driving series. In a recent interview on The Town with Matthew Belloni, Moritz discussed his hopes for the franchise and the direction he wants to take the next film. In particular, he hopes to “go smaller,” having sent Ludacris‘ character to space in F9. He explains, “Honestly, I think going forward I’d like to actually go smaller. And I’d like to kind of start to go back to where we started. I think that’s an interesting way to go. I like to zig and then zag. I like to try and do something different and I think that’s what audiences demand t...

Spotify Scraps Greenroom Creator Fund Amid Live Audio Rebrand
Spotify has shuttered its fund for live audio creators less than a year after the funding program was first unveiled, a company spokesperson confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter. Originally, live audio creators using Spotify Greenroom — which has since been renamed Spotify Live — would have been able to participate in the fund to receive payouts for their work. Spotify never disclosed how exactly the funding would be determined, but the company said in its initial announcement last June that a creator’s audience size and how their content was consumed would factor into the payments. But the creator fund never ultimately launched last summer, as Spotify said it would at the time, and a Spotify spokesperson said on Tuesday that the funding will be shifted to...
Johnny Depp Takes The Stand In Defamation Trial, Says Amber Heard ‘Grossly Embellished’ Abuse Claims
Over the course of six years, Amber Heard has reiterated accusations that ex-husband Johnny Depp had an alcohol and substance abuse problem that led to him beating her in fits of rage and stupor. Depp, taking the stand for the first time on Tuesday in a U.S. trial on whether Heard’s accusations amounted to defamation, claimed that his ex-wife “grossly embellished” his “quote unquote substance abuse” and that there’ve been “no moments where I would’ve been considered out of control.” Depp continued: “A lot of it is just plainly false. I think that it was an easy target for her to hit because once you’ve trusted somebody for a certain amount of years and told them all the secrets of your life, that information can of course be used against you.” Eleven jurors considered Depp’s testimony on t...
Digga D Heading For U.K. Chart Title
Digga D is on track for his first U.K. leader with Noughty By Nature (via CGM/EGA). The 21-year-old drill artist is new at No. 1 on the midweek chart with Noughty, his third mixtape. If it holds its position, Noughty will be the London rapper’s first chart topper and second Top 10 appearance after 2021’s Made in the Pyrex, which hit No. 3. Based on the chart blast, a string of hits collections should impact the top tier, including Fleetwood Mac’s 50 Years – Don’t Stop (up 11-4 via Rhino), Little Mix’s Between Us (up 12-6 via RCA) and The Police’s Greatest Hits (No. 9 via A&M), which enjoys a sales lift thanks to a vinyl reissue. Further down the list, U.S. slacker-rock master Kurt Vile is eying a Top 20 berth with Watch My Moves, his ninth studio record and first through Fiction....
