Watch Alesso Debut His First-Ever NFT at Dreamverse Festival In New York City
Alesso has set the tone for the future of NFTs by unveiling his debut drop, dubbed “Cosmic Genesis,” at Dreamverse, the world’s first-ever NFT art and music festival. Last month fans were given cryptic clues and a special decoder to decipher Alesso’s NFT through social media. Opting in on the OneOf platform provided fans with the special decoder which, once deciphered, unlocked the first chapter of the “Cosmic Genesis” story. “Cosmic Genesis” is a video series consisting of four chapters in total. Each represents a new curated audiovisual experience—a piece of Alesso’s vision—and new music from the Swedish EDM superstar. Dreamverse kicked off on November 4th and was the world’s first combined NFT art gallery and mus...
Remastered ‘GTA: Trilogy’ Leak Highlights Modern Controls and Improved Graphics
Gameplay footage from the remastered Grand Theft Auto trilogy has been leaked just a day before the game pack’s release. The footage was published to YouTube and showcases over an hour of gameplay across the updated versions of the three games that comprise the new trilogy edition — GTA III, Vice City and San Andreas — all of which were originally made for the PlayStation 2. In its announcement last month, Rockstar Games said that the remastering would maintain the original 2000s aesthetic of the games while introducing visual upgrades such as resolution upgrades and increased draw distances. The game developer shared cutscenes from the reworked trilogy but it hasn’t previewed any official gameplay footage itself. Video Games Chronicle was the first to come ...
Mariah Carey Teams Up With McDonald’s For a Menu of Free Goodies Leading Up to Christmas
“Some of my favorite memories with my kids are our family trips to McDonald’s, and of course, each of us has our go-to order. Mine is the Cheeseburger, and I get it with extra pickles,” Carey said in a press release for the announcement. “Bringing together some of our favorite food from McDonald’s with my all-time favorite season is a holiday wish come true.” “Mariah goes with the holidays like ketchup and fries, so we couldn’t think of a better partner to help us celebrate the upcoming season,” said Jennifer Healan, vice president, U.S. marketing, brand content and engagement of McDonald’s USA. “Just like McDonald’s brings people around the table with their favorite orders, Mariah’s music connects us all during ...
Another Lil Wayne Mixtape Is Coming to Streaming Platforms in January
“Shout-out to the fans. If we could, we’d put all of [the tapes] up in one month,” he adds. “It’s a tedious process. It’s not like a one-day thing. But we’re going to hopefully get all those mixtapes [up].” The first Wayne mixtape to make it onto streaming was No Ceilings in August 2020, released by Cash Money Records and Young Money Entertainment, both distributed by Republic Records. The project, which originally dropped as a downloadable zip folder on sites like DatPiff in October 2009, was almost entirely made up of other artists’ instrumentals, and as a result, was not re-released in its entirety due to sample-clearance issues. Of the 21 tracks, including three skits, only 11 made it onto streaming platforms. All of the skits, and tracks t...

Oh, and she’ll be kicking off her televised concert with “Hello” because “it’d be a bit weird if it was like halfway through the set.” Adele will be giving a warm “Hello” to her fans to start off her upcoming concert special Adele One Night Only, and in a new interview, she explained to Oprah Winfrey what else the song started for her. In a minute-long snippet from the primetime special that was released on Wednesday (Nov. 10), the English pop superstar sits down with Winfrey in a similar setup to the host’s viral Prince Harry and Meghan Markle tell-all interview from this past spring. The two discuss the deeper meaning behind the opening track of her forthcoming televised set, her 2015 smash “Hello,” while Adele j...
Jay-Z Wins Trial Over Soured Cologne Deal
“You failed to prove your case, they failed to prove their case,” Justice Andrew Borrok said to an attorney for Parlux after the verdict was read aloud in court. “You’re excused.” Wednesday’s verdict came after nearly six years of litigation over “Gold Jay-Z,” which the superstar launched in 2013 through a partnership with Parlux, which had previously launched licensed fragrances with other major artists like Rihanna. Parlux accused Jay-Z and his S. Carter Enterprises of failing to promote the fragrance, breaching the terms of their business contract and costing the company millions. The lawsuit said he refused to appear for events like Good Morning America and then refused to approve later iterations needed to keep the brand relevant. Jay-Z denied ...
Kanye West and Soulja Boy End Feud Over Missing ‘DONDA’ Verse
After Ye, formerly known as Kanye West, said he removed Soulja Boy from DONDA because he did not like his verse during last week’s Drink Champs interview, Ye took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a text exchange in which he apologizes to Soulja Boy for not being honest. “Yo it’s Ye. Love you bro. I should have told you I wasn’t gonna use the verse,” Ye wrote in the text exchange. Soulja Boy replied, “Love you too bro. That’s all I wanted.” Prior to Ye’s apology, Soulja Boy went on his live stream to call out the rapper in an explicit speech. “Don’t get on no motherf**kin’ platform and say different from what the f**k you told me to my face,” he said. “Tell me to my face that shit was trash…Who cut your hair? Yo shit f**ked up.” He appears to show his followers a text ...

Will Smith Discusses His ‘Raging Jealousy’ of Tupac in New Memoir ‘Will’
Will Smith has unpacked his previous sentiments of jealousy toward Tupac in his new memoir, Will. In the book, the actor explains that he felt “tortured” by the Tupac’s close relationship with his now-wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, who the renowned rapper first met at the Baltimore School for the Arts in the 1980s. “Though they were never intimate, their love for each other is legendary – they defined ‘ride or die,’” he writes. “In the beginning of our relationship, my mind was tortured by their connection. He was PAC! And I was me.” He goes on to say that Tupac possessed a “fearless passion” that he describes as “intoxicating” and a “willingness to fight and die for what he believed was right.” “Pac was like Harry [Will Smith’s younger brother] – he triggered the perception of myself as a cowa...

Vocalist Kyle Thomas of New Orleans-based thrash metal pioneers EXHORDER has confirmed to Heavy New York that the band is preparing to enter the studio to record the follow-up to 2019’s “Mourn The Southern Skies” album. “We have been working very hard on new material since the [start of] the pandemic,” he said. “We’ve been demoing songs, doing pre-production, preparing for when we finally do record the actual album.
