Uniform Unveil “The Shadow of God’s Hand” Video Ahead of US Tour with Portrayal of Guilt

Uniform have unveiled the music video for “The Shadow of God’s Hand” ahead of their upcoming fall US tour with Portrayal of Guilt and Body Void. The track hails from Uniform’s excellent 2020 offering, Shame — one of our top heavy albums of the year. The video was directed by John Bradburn and evokes singer Michael Berdan’s intensely personal backstory regarding the song. “The central theme behind ‘The Shadow of God’s Hand’ are the inherent contradictions present in conventional Christianity,” Berdan explained via a press release. “I was brought up with this idea of ‘act right or you’re going to hell.’ I’ve listened to family members as they worried themselves to tears over the fate of a loved one’s soul.” Advertisement Related Video He continued: “To me, the concept of a punitive God ...

Wale and J. Cole Reunite for Dynamic New Track “Poke It Out”

D.C. rapper Wale has tapped J. Cole for a guest feature on his new single “Poke It Out.” The last time the rappers and longtime friends collaborated was in 2018 on a freestyle called “My Boy,” which was included on Wale’s third EP Free Lunch. Featuring the same electric bass sample that the legendary Q-Tip used on 1999’s “Vivrant Thing,” this track reimagines the instrumental with a bouncy, rhythmic beat over which Wale and Cole drop witty one-liners. Due out from Warner Records later this month, the track comes off of Wale’s seventh album Folarin II. The upcoming EP follows 2019’s Wow… That’s Crazy. Meanwhile, the original Folarin mixtape dropped way back in 2012. As he gears up for his next album release, which the streaming preview shows will span 16 songs, the veteran rapper already dr...

Ozuna Hints That Blackpink, Megan Thee Stallion & DJ Snake Collab is ‘97%’ Complete

A few weeks after debuting his new single “La Funka” at the 2021 MTV Video Music Awards, Ozuna is ready to drop his next major collaboration. On Thursday (Sept. 30), the award-winning Puerto Rican artist took to Twitter to let fans know that his next song, alongside Blackpink, Megan Thee Stallion and DJ Snake, is “97 percent” complete. “BKP + MTS + SNK + [teddy bear emoji],” the Latin superstar wrote. Fans on Twitter, however, are wondering if the song is with the entire South Korean girl group or just group member Lisa, who although still part of the K-pop phenomenon, debuted her solo project Lalisa earlier this month.

Gloria Estefan Says She Was Sexually Abused as a Child by a Music Teacher

Gloria replied, “I have,” and continued: “He was family, but not close family. He was in a position of power because my mother had put me in his music school and he immediately started telling her how talented I was and how I needed special attention, and she felt lucky that he was focusing this kind of attention on me.” She added that abuse “starts little by little and then it goes fast.” “I told him, ‘This cannot happen, you cannot do this.’ He goes, ‘Your father’s in Vietnam, your mother’s alone and I will kill her if you tell her,’” Estefan recalled. The singer said she knew she was not responsible for her abuser’s actions, but she worried he would hurt her mother. She feigned sickness to get out of going to music classes. Emily asked if Gloria’s mother was aware of the abuse. “N...

Dr. Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Snoop Dogg to Perform at This Year’s Super Bowl Halftime Show

After basically ignoring the Atlanta music scene when the Big Game was there a few years ago, the NFL decided to not make the same mistake twice. For this year’s game at SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles, the NFL is giving the Super Bowl Halftime show a distinctly Los Angeles feel, as Compton natives Dr. Dre and Kendrick Lamar will be joined by Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Long Beach’s own Snoop Dogg. This will be Dr. Dre’s first live performance since headlining Coachella with Snoop Dogg in 2012 (the one with 2Pac’s hologram). “The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl Halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,” Dr. Dre said in a statement. “I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige an...

Why Some NBA Players Are So Hesitant To Get Vaccinated: In Their Own Words

NewsOne Featured Video CLOSE Source: Steven Ryan / Getty The anti-vaccine hysteria is now sweeping through the NBA like a fast-break layup. A number of basketball players like Kyrie Irving and Jonathan Issac have shared their controversial opinions about receiving a jab of the COVID-19 vaccine. Huge consequences could loom for Irving, in particular, whose ability to play in upcoming games for the Brooklyn Nets remains uncertain. The NBA star missed out on Media day at the Barclays center on Sept. 27 because he wasn’t fully vaccinated. Irving, who virtually spoke to reporters over Zoom, declined to further comment on his vaccination status. “Living in this public sphere, there’s a lot of questions about what’s going on in the world of Kyrie,” he said explained. “I would love to just keep th...
