Teen Activist Greta Thunberg Rickrolls Crowd at Climate Live Concert
The event at Stockholm’s Kungsträdgården featured sets from First Aid Kit, Victor Leksell, Loreen, Royal Republic and many more, as well as activists including Black Lives Matter Sweden’s Aysha Jones. The show unfolded just weeks before the Oct. 31 kick-of of the 2021 United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26) in Glasgow, Scotland. Last month, Thunberg once again laid into world leaders who she says are not doing nearly enough to combat climate change at a youth climate summit in Milan, lashing politicians for spending the past 30 years bloviating and offering up a lot of “blah, blah, blah.” “This is not about some expensive, politically correct dream at the bunny hugging or blah, blah, blah,” Grunberg said in her signature no-BS, punk rock fa...
Maxo Kream Talks Carrying the Load Through the Highs and Lows With New Album ‘Weight of the World’
The title of Maxo’s latest effort, Weight of the World — released this past Monday (Oct. 18) — is appropriate as it arrives not only at a unique time in his life but for the world at large. Obviously much changed for him personally, but we are all still reeling from the stoppages caused by COVID-19, despite the fact a new normal has been created. In the time before vaccinations and loosened protocols, the Roc Nation signee took the time to be more thoughtful and strategic on his third studio album (and second under RCA), after a two-year hiatus following 2019 breakout album Brandon Banks. “The whole COVID [thing] gave me more time to really go deep and seep into my music,” he says. “Everything planned out perfectly, I feel like it’s the perfect time — and after this...
Texas Put on Creeping Death, and Creeping Death Puts on Texas
You can pin a lot of influences on Dallas death metal band Creeping Death, and most of them wouldn’t be far off the mark. Like a lot of modern death metal bands who came up through hardcore, you hear a lot of Bolt Thrower’s pointed riffing and slamming breakdowns. Some of those breakdowns hit with a force where one might think they were directly plucked from Suffocation. Their new EP, The Edge of Existence, out now through MNRK Heavy, gives even more points of comparison: some of the groovy riffs take on a more Obituary character, and the lead guitar work straddles the line between mid-period Death and early Gorguts, jumping outside the lines a bit. A track like “Humanity Transcends” has a cosmic eye that hasn’t been seen in their work before. It’s still quite lean and mean – Creeping Deat...
Mac Miller “San Francisco,” Curren$y “The World Is Ours” & More | Daily Visuals 10.18.21
HipHopWired Featured Video It’s been more than three years since the untimely passing of the beloved Mac Miller, but last Friday not only were his fans elated that his 2014 mixtape, Faces, finally made it onto streaming services, they also got some new posthumous visuals to accompany the release. For the visuals to “San Francisco” Mac Miller’s team put out some never-before-seen footage of Mac simply staring into the camera and rapping along to the song while digital enhancements make the visual both enticing and entertaining. Not gonna lie, it was tough to watch Mac living and breathing again knowing he’s gone. Rest in peace, Mac.

Metal Musician Andrea Meyer Among Five People Killed by Bow-and-Arrow Attack in Norway

Young Thug Sues Apartment Building for Giving 200 Unreleased Songs to Stranger
Not so much fun: Young Thug has filed a lawsuit against a luxury apartment building in Atlanta, claiming the concierge service handed out a bag of his personal belongings — including a hard drive containing over 200 unreleased songs — to a stranger.

Disney Delays Three Upcoming Marvel Studios Films
Disney has now officially delayed all three of its upcoming Marvel films originally slated for release in 2022. According to a new report from Variety, the media giant has been forced to push back all three release dates due to production delays snowballing from the COVID-19 pandemic. As the outlet points out, the Marvel Cinematic Universe has become so intertwined that any delay in one film would almost definitely result in a domino effect.

The fourth installment of the God of Thunder’s storyline will now release on July 8, with Black Panther: Wakanda Forever to premiere sometime in November. Further down t...
