Listen to Sonny Fodera’s Hypnotic “Last Thought” With Vintage Culture and MKLA
Do your thoughts at night keep you awake? Delivering a new single called “Last Thought,” Sonny Fodera has enlisted Brazilian superstar producer Vintage Culture and Canadian songstress MKLA to drop a hypnotic house thumper for the lovesick. “Last Thought” marks the third track from Fodera’s upcoming Wide Awake album. The first glimpse into what’s to come from the 14-track collection was gifted back in July with the assertive single “Nah.” At that time, there was no indication of an album in the works. Just last month Fodera announced the tracklist and release date of Wide Awake, accompanied by the album’s second single “Angel.” Reconnecting with Vintage Culture, the est...
Listen to the Debut Single From Steve Aoki’s Techno Alias, Ninja Attack
Steve Aoki has revealed a brand new side project, a techno music alias dubbed Ninja Attack. The move should come as no surprise. Underground house and techno music have seen a resurgence in the mainstream as of late, and if there’s anyone to capitalize on the trend, it’s Aoki. The dance music veteran’s reputation has long been predicated on his detachment from genre boundaries. Ninja Attack’s debut is called “Aurora.” The track is dark and minimal in nature, and while it surely won’t impress the traditionalist diehards of the techno community, it’s a solid foray into the genre. Aoki was smart to keep the production subdued here, so as to not completely alienate his fanbase. The kick drums smack with an industrial thud, but the sound desi...

Lamar Odom Win’s Latest Celebrity Boxing Match, Benzino Wants A Shot At The Champ
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: via UNCENSORED / TV One Ever since the Los Angeles Lakers traded Lamar Odom away to make cap room back in 2011, the life of the former NBA Sixth Man of The Year went into a spiral that he has never been able to recover from (Kardashian Kurse?). After surviving the infamous OD at a brothel in Las Vegas in 2015, the man has struggled to piece back together his life and has resorted to celebrity boxing just to get a paycheck. That’s the bad news. The good news is at least he won his bout against J. Lo’s ex-hubby, Ojani Noa (who?!). According to TMZ, the 6’10 former NBA star put the beatings on the 6’1 Noa and won the fight via decision even though he probably should’ve scored a KO at that height advantage. This is Lamar’s second win as he took home the “W” w...
