Rubber Mask Kanye Clones Mob Through Manhattan For ‘Donda’ Deluxe Edition Release Promo
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Revolt / Revolt November continues to not disappoint when it comes to bizarre Kanye West headlines. Last week, a mob of Ye clones hit the street in what seems to be a marketing ploy for the Donda deluxe edition. As spotted on TMZ, a crew of individuals hit the streets, and to say it was a scene to behold would be an understatement. On Saturday (November 13), about 20 to 30 people wearing the YZY x Gap round jacket, rubber face masks, and black caps walked together throughout the Union Square area of Manhattan. At first glance, it seemed that the group was either paying homage to the unique outfit but upon further review, all signs point to the stunt being a marketing ploy. The army hit the streets the same weekend that Ye’s Donda (Deluxe) finally mad...

Lil Nas X Receives GQ Men of the Year Cover
Lil Nas X is one again making headlines, this time as one of GQ‘s Men of the Year cover model. The Grammy-winning singer has been announced as one of three cover headlines for this year’s GQ Men of the Year covers alongside 2021 NBA Champion Giannis Antetokounmpo and Spider-Man actor Tom Holland. Since coming out as gay in 2019, Lil Nas X has been outspoken about the evolution of the rap industry when it comes to LGBTQ representation. In the GQ interview he shared his thoughts regarding LGBTQ issues and what it is like being a queer entertainer, “I do feel like this newer generation of rappers who are coming in, and the ones who are here, are going to have to reshape their thoughts. Because change is happening. There’s going to be so many gay rappers. There’s going to be more trans people ...
LouCii Unveils Electrifying Bass House Tune “Running Back”
Veteran dance music producer LouCii has unveiled “Running Back,” an electrifying house banger built for the clubs. Elements of both electro and bass house pervade LouCii’s latest original track, which is out now by way of LouCii’s own Lalee Records label. “Running Back” has a bombastic, foot-tapping bass line paired with its punchy four-on-the-floor rhythm. The drops here are downright mean, chock full of menacing bass patches, crisp saws, and bouncy percussion designed for cutting shapes. After the first drop concludes, LouCii introduces infectious sound design in the break to add dimension to the arrangement. It’s here where the song’s catchy refrain kicks in (“I keep ’em running back”), stepping in unison with breakbeat-inspire...
Tate Sedar Drops Bubbly Future House Stunner, “Heaven”
Tate Sedar has unveiled his latest dance music stunner, a bubbly single called “Heaven.” Released independently, “Heaven” is a love letter sealed in a future bass anthem. Just like its name suggests, its an ethereal ballad at its core, but it doubles as a club-ready house jam. “Heaven” strikes that elusive contrast between melancholic and uplifting, thanks to Sedar’s pretty production. His use of vocoders is a nice touch in the verses, adding a warm layer to the sugarcoated lyrics and tugging at the heartstrings. Fans of Don Diablo’s HEXAGON brand will gravitate to this one thanks to its honeyed drop, which features pitched vocal chops and a bouncy electropop arrangement. He performed on the same bill with Diablo at the EDC Virtual...
Destructo’s Version of Dolly Parton’s “Jolene” Is The Country Queen’s New Favorite Remix: Listen
With his new remix of Dolly Parton‘s “Jolene,” Destructo is officially EDM’s latest superstar to pop on a pair of cowboy boots and try his hand at a lil’ country twang. Only in this case, the boots are probably pink, paired with rhinestones and a V-neck for good measure. Out via RCA and Sony Music, Destructo’s version is one of the only official “Jolene” remixes to ever grace the ears of the public and, according to Parton in a press release, it’s her favorite. “It makes me want to dance!” she said. Notably, this isn’t the Queen of Country’s first foray into electronic music. In 2019, her collaboration with Galantis and Mr. Probz, “Faith,” topped the charts with its of-the-moment tro...
JASON NEWSTED Recalls Concert That Was ‘Personally Huge’ For METALLICA
During an appearance on a recent episode of Bill Burr‘s “Monday Morning” podcast, former METALLICA bassist Jason Newsted was asked if there was a particular concert that stood out in his mind as being particularly memorable. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET): “The ones that have been glorified over time and sensationalized, like the big Russian show and that stuff — unforgettable, of course, [and] quite well documented. But there’s other ones that are personally huge for us as a unit. Day On The Green in Oakland [on] October 12 of ’91. That was [legendary concert promoter] Bill Graham‘s last proper show that he put on — period. That’s a big goddamn deal to Bay Area, man. He took a chance on METALLICA back in ’82, ’...

Former MACHINE HEAD and current VIO-LENCE guitarist Phil Demmel filled in for Dave Linsk at OVERKILL‘s November 13 concert at The Wellmont Theater in Montclair, New Jersey. The gig marked OVERKILL‘s first pandemic-era performance — “609 f!!kin’ days” after they were supposed to play the same venue before the coronavirus crisis forced everything to shut down. When Demmel‘s participation in the concert was first announced two weeks ago, OVERKILL singer Bobby “Blitz” Ellsworth commented: “We had a few issues getting this rescheduled show together. But to hell with the issues, we all have problems. And wouldn’t you know it, our bro and yours Phil Demmel to the rescue. The show must and will go on. See you at the Welmomt Jersey…&...
SLAYER’s KERRY KING And Wife Relocate To New York City
SLAYER guitarist Kerry King and his wife have relocated to New York City. Ayesha King broke the news of the move in an Instagram post earlier today. She wrote: “I suppose it’s time to tell you all that the King and I have moved to NYC ( back home for me, excited to be near my family again ). I figured I’d beat some acquaintance’s friend buddy who it heard it from a guy to announce it and think he’s cool. I served my time on the west coast for 18 years. Time to be back in the best city on earth.” It was reported back in April 2020 that Kerry and his wife paid $3.81 million for a home in a section of the Las Vegas Valley known as Enterprise. Clark County property records still list the couple as the owners of the 5,116-square-foot house. Last month, Kerry ...

Gothenburg is small, and it’s always been very incestuous in terms of members, back and forth, in bands. “I got asked by Niclas Engelin, who I’...

The program will air on KCRW, the popular NPR affiliate based in Santa Monica, California. For now, it is limited to one episode on Friday, November 26th at 6 p.m. PST.
