Wale and J. Cole Reunite for New Single “Poke It Out”: Stream
Wale has recruited his friend and frequent collaborator J. Cole for “Poke It Out,” a lighthearted single serving as a teaser for Wale’s upcoming album, Folarin 2, due out on October 22nd. Sharing an electric bass sample with Q-Tip’s 1999 hit “Vivrant Thing,” the new track mixes club-ready production with clever one-liners from the DC rapper and his North Carolina counterpart. After Wale sets the tone with lines like “Ever since I been a star, they don’t love me,” Cole brags about “being the shit since elementary.” Stream the track below. Prior to “Poke It Out,” Cole last teamed with Wale on “My Boy (Freestyle),” off 2018’s Free Lunch. The collab came after Cole seemingly dissed Wale on “False Prophets.” Throughout their extensive careers, the veteran rappers have linked up a numb...

Wallows Release New Single ‘I Don’t Want to Talk’
Wallows are back with a new video for “I Don’t Want to Talk.” This is the band’s first release since their Remote EP in February. Having worked for over a year on this track, Wallows stars in the warm, vintage-kissed video. The song sings of pushing a girl away and simultaneously pitying yourself: “I’m not alright / but I don’t need comfort / I don’t want to talk.” As the band takes part in random activities—reading fortune cookies, boxing, jump roping, singing to a mirror in a field—they attempt to avoid her seeping into their thoughts again, and they would rather have her “tell me that it’s over.” “‘I Don’t Want to Talk’ is ultimately a song about insecurities,” Dylan Minnette said in a statement. “Not only in yourself, but in this case, particularly in a relationship. It centers ar...
Brandi Carlile Is Right on Time
It’s dead quiet backstage at the Country Music Hall of Fame in Nashville, save for the sound of Brandi Carlile’s patent Gucci loafers clicking against the floor on the way into the greenroom. Fresh off a win for Artist of the Year at the Americana Honors and Awards the night before, Carlile is talking fondly about envy. “Margo Price sang a song last night that made me blind jealous,” Carlile says, sitting on a couch in a rainbow tie-dye cardigan and jeans. It’s the same cardigan she posed in for a photoshoot with the New York Times, because Carlile is not the wear-and-toss type. Growing up in poverty can do that to a person, no matter how many pairs of loafers or cashmere sweaters she can now afford. “I just thought, ‘I fucking love that song, why didn’t I write that?’ So I went right up t...
Karen Dalton: We Hardly Knew Ya
Of all the artists that grew out of the fertile Greenwich Village folk scene of the ’60s, Karen Dalton has somehow remained in the shadows of firmly established stars like Bob Dylan, Joan Baez and Pete Seeger. It’s not for a lack of effort on the part of Dalton’s friends and fans. In the years since her death in 1993, her two studio albums — 1969’s It’s So Hard To Tell Who’s Going To Love You The Best and 1971’s In My Own Time — have been reissued multiple times, and several posthumous collections of her home recordings are now available. Dalton has also been namechecked as an influence by many of today’s musicians that fall under the folk umbrella. In spite of all that, Dalton is still an unknown entity to most and even forgotten by those folks trying to keep the world’s listeners connect...
Coldplay and BTS Release Space-Themed Music Video for “My Universe”
On Thursday, Coldplay and BTS released the music video for their new single “My Universe.” Set in a distant future where music is banned, the space-themed video was directed by Dave Meyers, who has worked with the likes of Missy Elliot, Drake, Young Thug, Billie Eilish, Ariana Grande and others. In the music video, Coldplay, BTS and an alien band named Supernova 7 are located on three different planets. To rebel against the music ban, the three entities join forces via hologram to perform “My Universe,” a song that praises love and unity. The new single appears on Coldplay’s upcoming ninth studio album, Music of the Spheres, which is set to arrive Friday, October 15. Earlier this month, BTS was inducted into the Guinness World Records 2022 Hall of Fame with a total of 23 records across mus...

Pompeo told her former Grey’s costar Patrick Dempsey on her “Tell Me” podcast that she and the two-time Oscar-winning actor butted heads while he was directing the 2016 episode, “The Sound of Silence” because she ad-libbed the line “Look at me when you apologize. Look at me,” to another actor she was on screen with irritating Washington. “Denzel went ham on my ass,” she revealed to Dempsey. “He was like, ‘I’m the director. Don’t you tell him what to do....

HHW Gaming: Head of Xbox Says Xbox Series X Jig Will Last Well Into 2022
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 We hate to break this news to you gamers, but the struggle to get your hands on Xbox Series X isn’t coming to an end any time soon. In an interview with The Wrap, Xbox chief Phil Spencer shared the bad news that Xbox Series X shortages will continue throughout 2021 and well into 2022 because of current supply chain issues that are not only due to the ongoing chip shortage. “I think it’s probably too isolated to talk about it as just a chip problem,” Spencer said. “When I think about, what does it mean to get the parts necessary to build a console today, and then get it to the markets where the demand is, there are multiple kind of pinch points in that process. And I think regretfully it’s going to be with us for months an...
