My First Show Back: Resound Presents’ Graham Williams on Texas’ Summer Concert Boom
With the Wale shows, it was the last weekend of July. Things were just picking up, and then a week and a half, two weeks later, when we had our next round of shows, things got more intense with the COVID numbers. We had to pay more attention to things surrounding that. In May, the first shows I went to just check out — at the beginning it was weird, but by the end of the show it felt normal. It felt like every other show. At this point, I was assuming everyone was vaccinated and the Delta variant hadn’t really popped up yet. People weren’t wearing masks. Everyone was like, “We got the vaccine. Everything’s fixed.” People were just so anxious to get back to some form of normalcy, but since then I would say there’s a lot more masking. ...
Supplemental Shuttered Venue Grant Program Now Underway
“The SBA has awarded approximately $9 billion in crucial relief to approximately 11,500 performing arts venues and other related businesses so they can continue to anchor our neighborhoods and define our communities.

Here’s What the Imagery at the ‘DONDA’ Chicago Listening Event Meant
Kanye West hosted a third listening event for his upcoming album DONDA at Chicago’s Soldier Field on Thursday evening, this time employing theatrical elements like a recreation of his childhood home, a motorcade of cars and Kim Kardashian in a wedding dress to visualize his new music. HYPEBEAST attended the event, which followed two others in Atlanta in late July and early August. Still, the album has not yet been released despite multiple assurances, though unverified reports indicate that West may be in the process of delivering the album to streaming services. The Chicago event began with a track tentatively titled “Jail,” which replaced a verse previously given by JAY-Z. Dozens of cars and hooded figures shrouded in black began circling West’s childhood home installation that...

After playing a sold-out show in New York earlier this week, Eyedress has released his fourth album Mulholland Drive.

Shaquille O’Neal Reveals Why He Left Reebok To Start His Own Sneaker Brand
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: G Fiume / Getty Many a sneaker aficionado were left scratching their head when Shaquille O’Neal decided to leave sportswear cornerstone Reebok and start his own Walmart-backed sneaker brand, SHAQ. Well, as it turns out it was a woman who was upset about the price of sneakers that convinced Shaq to go it solo on the sneaker tip. As Yahoo reports, the NBA legend was a guest on the Full Scale podcast this past Wednesday (August 25) and during the interview revealed that he walked away from a $40 million dollar deal with Reebok after getting confronted by a woman who went off on him for selling sneakers that young kids just couldn’t afford. “That day, I cut ties with Reebok,” he said of forgoing a $40 million deal he had with the brand following a moment of c...
NYPD Sends Out An Army To Apprehend A Graffiti Artist In Brooklyn
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: halbergman / Getty New Yorkers of color already know that the NYPD be extra with it whenever they’re not being outright unnecessarily excessive with their actions, but sending out a platoon to take down a graffiti artist might’ve been extra OD forreal forreal. Gothamist is reporting that on Thursday (August 26) the NYPD descended on in the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn after a man was spotted throwing up some Super Mario Bros. inspired art on a water tower located across 67 West Street. Seemingly relatively harmless and creative in its nature, police surrounded the man and as the hours went by more police arrived on the scene to corner the artist as if he had numerous ways to escape a water tower with a single ladder that led up to the top. Things got so...
Drake Appears To Confirm ‘Certified Lover Boy’ Release Date During ESPN Ad
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Todd Williamson/NBC / Getty It appears the wait for the latest album from Drake may be over with a finalized release date and thanks to a random drop on ESPN. On Friday (August 27), the morning edition of ESPN’s SportsCenter broadcast was interrupted during a cutaway to commercial. The interruption was a glitchy and mysterious ad, featuring someone covered in darkness holding up a cardboard sign that carried a handwritten message reading: “CLB September 3rd.” Although Drake’s representatives haven’t confirmed press requests regarding this announcement , they did say to an inquiry from Rolling Stone that the video can be taken at “face value”. Drake has stated earlier that Certified Lover Boy was finished and ready while appearing on OVO Sounds’ radio show...

A Raver’s Friends Filed a Missing Person Report After a Music Festival—But She Vanished On Purpose
Bass Canyon became a real-life game of hide-and-seek last weekend, thanks to a young woman who purportedly went missing on purpose. Our story begins on Thursday, August 19th at the Bass Canyon pre-party. The roads around northwest Washington’s idyllic Gorge Amphitheatre were filled to the brim, teeming with eager ravers ready for a weekend of ear-splitting dubstep and rail-riding. Angela Melnik was among them. As far as we can tell, the next 48 hours or so passed just as any other camping festival would. The DJ sets were slapping, the fans were clapping, and the ferris wheel went round and round. Then, on the last night of the event, Melnik vanished without a trace. When Melnik still hadn’t turned up by the time her friends were packing out of the Gorge on Monday...
