10 Cool New Pop Songs to Get You Through The Week: Alec Benjamin, Dawn Richard, Lauren Jauregui & More
Anger, confusion, self-doubt and frustration are all transmitted through Alec Benjamin’s sweet, lilting voice on “The Way You Felt,” a post-breakup track in which the singer-songwriter sorts through his feelings in real time. The pain feels genuine, and Benjamin’s soothing delivery creates the impression that the shock hasn’t fully registered; in the meantime, programmed drums capably soundtrack his broken heart. Niko Rubio, “You Could Be The One” A percussive whoosh arrives when 20-year-old singer-songwriter Niko Rubio utters the phrase “You could be the one!” on her debut single, capturing the dramatic thrill of unsuspecting romance.

The Black Keys Cover R.L. Burnside’s ‘Going Down South’
The Black Keys have shared their second offering off Delta Kream, and it’s one of Dan Auerbach’s favorite tracks on the album. The duo put their own spin on one of R.L. Burnside’s best-known songs, 1969’s “Going Down South.” “That was one of R.L. Burnside’s hits!” Auerbach said in a statement. “We strayed a little from the original on our version with the falsetto and percussion, but we liked how it sounded in that moment. It’s become one of my favorites on the album.” Like the video for the album’s lead single “Crawling Kingsnake,” “Going Down South” was filmed at Jimmy Duck Holmes’ Blue Front Café, which is the oldest active juke joint in America. It also highlights other northern Mississippi blues landmarks like Junior Kimbrough’s hometown of Blues Alley in Holly Springs and&n...

Lucinda Williams Recovering After November Stroke
Beloved singer/songwriter Lucinda Williams had a stroke shortly before Thanksgiving 2020. She confirmed the news in an interview with Rolling Stone. However, Williams’ husband/manager Tom Overby affirms that Williams should recover “100 percent.” Williams, who has plans to play gigs this summer, says, “The main thing is I can still sing. I’m singing my ass off, so that hasn’t been affected. Can’t keep me down for too long.” She said that on Nov. 17, getting ready to take a shower, she began to have trouble keeping her balance and became unable to walk. “An ambulance came and got me and we told them not to put the big siren on. We didn’t want to alarm the neighbors or anything. But they put the siren on,” Williams said. Williams was rushed to Nashville’s Vanderbilt Medical Center,...

Lil Wayne Pays Homage To DMX During Trillerfest Set [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty Dark Man X inspired a legion of Hip-Hop fans and rappers. Among the aforementioned is Lil Wayne, who took time from his performance at Trillerfest on Saturday, May 1 to pay tribute to the late rap star. Weezy took time to reflect on touring with Cash Money, whose roster was so deep it meant they could only really go on the road with another record label, which happened to be Ruff Ryders Records. “When I was a younger kid, we used to be on tour a lot, right. Like six months a year,” said Wayne from the stage. “We used to go tour with another record label. We used to have so many artists we didn’t need to have no opening acts ’cause we just needed another record label, and it was just us and them. So back then we went on this tour calle...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: D.L. Chandler / Hip-Hop Wired Usually when some people claim to be a part of a famous rap entourage it’s to get club access, women or clout on social media, but two men in Georgia took the fraudulent practice to another level and are paying dearly for it. WRDW is reporting that Walker Washington has just been sentenced to eight years in prison for defrauding 19 businesses out of hospitality services by claiming to be a member of the iconic Hip-Hop group, Wu-Tang Clan. Over the weekend U.S. District Court Judge Dudley H. Bowen ordered the 53-year-old Augustan to serve 100 months in the bing after pleading guilty to conspiracy to commit wire fraud and instructed him to pay $300K to the businesses he swindled during his crime spree. Once he’s served his...

CHAD SMITH On Upcoming RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS Album: ‘It’s Very Exciting’
In a new interview with New York’s Q104.3 radio station, RED HOT CHILI PEPPERS drummer Chad Smith was asked what fans can expect from the band in the coming months.

I can say this: we’re making a record, we’re making new music, and it’s very exciting,” he said. “I don’t know when it’s coming out, but we can’t wait for people to hear it, and we can’t wait to perform for people.

KROKUS’s MARC STORACE Says Long-Running Feud With DEE SNIDER Was ‘Created’ By TWISTED SISTER Singer
KROKUS vocalist Marc Storace says that he is “ready” to put his band’s long-running feud with TWISTED SISTER‘s Dee Snider behind him. In his autobiography, “Shut Up And Give Me The Mic”, Snider had nothing nice to say about KROKUS. For an entire chapter, he raged about the band, calling them “Krapus” and stating, “You have no idea how close you came landing on the bottom of a lake.” The reason for his outburst: KROKUS commissioned Snider‘s wife Suzette in 1982 to sew stage outfits for the band’s U.S. tour, but the former KROKUS tour manager refused to pay her for her services. “These guys ripped off my wife and threatened her,” said Snider, who pointed out that his wife’s mother emigrated from Switzer...
