Digging for Gold is HYPEBEAST’s monthly playlist series that highlights regions across the world and the genres that come out of them. By putting together a mix of essentials and hidden gems, we hope to add to how you discover music and to deliver the thrill of finding new tracks.

Nowadays, the latest wave of reggaeton tunes that are topping the charts have become fusi...
Paul McCartney Claims John Lennon Initiated The Beatles Breakup
Paul McCartney shared in an upcoming interview that John Lennon was actually the one who instigated the breakup of the Beatles. The Guardian reports that in the new episode of BBC Radio 4’s This Cultural Life, which will be broadcast this October, McCartney called the split the “most difficult period of his life” as he wanted the band to still make music together. “Stop right there,” he said as he was asked about going solo, “I am not the person who instigated the split. Oh no, no, no. John walked into a room one day and said I am leaving the Beatles. Is that instigating the split, or not?” He continued that Lennon described leaving as “quite thrilling” and “rather like a divorce,” but he, Ringo Starr and George Harrison were “left to pick up the pieces.” The 79-year-old musician adde...
