Welcome to the latest edition of The Offramp! Each month, rock writer Corbin Reiff will highlight some of the most dynamic artists and projects going on in music today. Throw on the turn signal, crank up the stereo and enjoy the ride! Heaven means many things to many people. To some, it’s a physical plane; the ultimate reward for a life well-lived.

Lexxi Foxx) alongside longtime friend and television celebrity from MTV‘s “Pimp My Ride”, Diggity Dave, can be streamed below.

Challenge Rookie Priscilla Just Proved She’s A ‘Sneaky Mofo’
Rarely can the evolution from sweet kitten to sinister wildcat reach completion within a few minutes, but on the latest episode of The Challenge, Priscilla — a lovable Love Island contestant from the U.K. — bared her fangs and single-handedly blew up the Veteran Alliance. Not bad for a rookie who’d only just competed in her very first elimination round. But now that Priscilla has fired shots, can she shield herself from the counterstrike that’s surely headed her way? On tonight’s of Spies, Lies and Allies, and with Berna and Hughie standing as the only rookie/rookie team left in the game, Priscilla, Jeremiah and Bettina — the only rookies who’d yet to compete in The Lair — considered that one or two would likely be coming nominees. And, though Amber briefly considered volunteering he...

Maci endured a “terrifying” experience on the last season of Teen Mom OG: The Tennessean was at a local gas station when a shootout began (she was trapped in a bathroom as the violence unfolded). The mother of three was thankfully unharmed; however, post-traumatic stress from the incident persisted and she’s opened up about experiencing nightmares. Now, during this week’s episode, Maci was able to “take control” and visit the gas station with Taylor by her side. “If you don’t want to do it today, we don’t have to,” Taylor told an overwhelmed Maci, as she rested her forehead against the steering wheel. After a few deep breaths, Maci opened the door and made her way to the pump. After she placed the nozzle, she promptly got back int...

Shakira Says She Was Attacked by Wild Boars
You might think you’ve had a rough year, but look on the bright side: At least you weren’t attacked wild boars. That’s exactly what happened to Shakira recently, according to a series of Instagram stories posted Wednesday. The Colombian singer claimed a pair of hogs randomly attacked her and her 8-year-old son, Milan, while walking in a park in Barcelona. Fortunately, aside from her handbag, nobody seemed to have been injured in the incident. “Look at how two wild boars, which attacked me in the park, have left my bag,” Shakira explained frantically in Spanish, as translated by BBC News. “They were taking my bag to the woods with my mobile phone in it… They’ve destroyed everything.” Shakira then turned the camera to her son, who is seen walking away rather apathetically: “Milan, tell the t...
