HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Axelle/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Star Wars takes place in a galaxy far, far away, but it still is trouble by Earth’s biggest problem, the treatment of actors of color. Thandiwe Newton is the latest Black thespian to call out the iconic sci-fi film franchise’s handling of Black, Brown, and Asian characters in the films. Solo: A Star Wars Story already owns the title of being the lowest-grossing Star Wars film, and now it will be known as the film that killed off Thandiwe Newton’s character for no reason at all. Speaking with Inverse in an interview published on Wednesday (Aug.25), Newton revealed she was “disappointed” with how her character was handled in the movie that served as the origin story of smuggler turned reluctant hero of the rebellion Han Solo.

Tom Morello Taps Phantogram for New “Driving To Texas” Single
Tom Morello has tapped New York-based electric duo Phantogram for a new single dubbed “Driving To Texas.” The second single from Morello’s forthcoming The Atlas Underground Fire album, “Driving To Texas” is an eerie and almost ethereal tune — vastly different from “Highway To Hell,” a hard-charging AC/DC cover featuring Bruce Springsteen and Eddie Vedder that served as The Atlas Underground Fire‘s first single. Clocking in at 5 minutes and 28 seconds, “Driving To Texas” sees haunting lyrics from vocalist Sarah Barthel over a melody from Morello and production from Barthel’s Phantogram partner Josh Carter. Morello gets his time to shine at 4:30, finishing off the song with one of his signature soaring solos. “The guitar solo needed to feel like a vengeful angel who has come down to decide t...
First Spin: The Week’s Best New Dance Tracks From Caribou, LP Giobbi & HANA & More
Caribou, “You Can Do It” Dan Snaith’s 2020 LP Home was all texture and melancholic mood, an album made for the long, contemplative solitude of quarantine. The Canadian producer’s latest single is…not that. “You Can Do It” is pure joy, manifest in the bright, gently ascending chord progressions, the lyrics (“You can do it! You can do it! You can do it!…”) and the corresponding video, which simply features dogs — glorious dogs! — jumping and running through fields and catching frisbees in slow motion. Watch it. Try not to smile. Altogether, it’s a tightly produced, deliciously un-self-serious one-off from one of the best in the game. Caribou goes on tour in North America this fall, with dates extending into early 2...

Executive of the Week: Carbon Fiber Music President Franklin Martínez
The song was released June 24 on Sony Music Latin with little fanfare — there wasn’t even a video ready — and debuted at No. 28 on the Hot Latin Songs chart dated July 17. It jumped to the top 10 four weeks later, reaching No. 6 on the chart dated Aug. 7, and finally No. 1 this week, thanks to a 20% boost in streams (reaching the top 20 of Streaming Songs and No. 1 on Latin streaming songs) and airplay support. The real driver of the song on the Latin charts was its performance on the dance charts. There, it debuted at No. 9 on the chart dated July 17 and has remained on the top 10 since, peaking at No. 1 last week. That’s because at heart, “Pepas” is an EDM track, propelled by dozens of remixes by DJs big and small that also aided its rise on the global charts — climbing...
