Today, she revealed its latest track, “Call Me Home.” [embedded content][embedded content] “‘Call Me Home’ is dedicated to anyone who has blown up their life just to remember what it’s like to feel something,” Sasami said in a statement. “It’s about the darkness of feeling nothing and the creeping ache of apathy that can swallow you whole if you let it.

Flume has dropped off a new music video for his latest track “Say Nothing” featuring MAY-A, which arrives as the lead single from the Australian electronic artist’s forthcoming third album, Palaces.

Wiz Khalifa “Wiz Got Wings,” Method Man “The Last 2 Minutes” & More | Daily Visuals 2.2.22
HipHopWired Featured Video Rick Ross may have a Wing Stop franchise, but apparently Wiz Khalifa got wings in general and that’s good enough to keep him happy and high. At least that the general consensus that we get in Khalifa’s visuals for “Wiz Got Wings” in which the rapper with the Muay Thai martial arts skills blazes some KK and stands in front of his exotic car while kicking his bars. Sometimes simplicity is the way to go. Just sayin. Back in Shaolin, Method Man keeps the Wu-Tang flag waving high and in his clip to “The Last 2 Minutes” takes over a bar with a gang of goons sporting Purge inspired masks to let y’all know they ready for all the ride-or-die smoke. Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from Philthy Rich, BIG30, and more. WIZ KHALIFA – “WIZ GOT WINGS” [embedde...

As HypeBeast pointed out, Yeezus first proposed making “Black Future Month” a thing in November last year during an appearance on N.O.R.E. & DJ EFN’s Drink Champs show. “I’m tired of seeing us getting hosed-down. I’m tired of talking about slavery,” he said. So, a couple things: First, Ye really should be “tired of talking about slavery” after his loud, wrong and largely ahistorical comments about slavery being a choice. He should also keep slavery and Black history all the way out o...
