Finding ‘DONDA’: A Timeline of the Elusive Kanye West Album
Kanye West‘s highly-anticipated record DONDA is over a year late. The studio album, which supposedly serves as the followup to 2019’s JESUS IS KING, was initially announced as early as May 2020 with a July 2020 release date. During the second half of 2020, the record suffered a possible name change, a delay and a fear of the project being shelved indefinitely, but a few months into the new year, it seemed like fans might actually be getting closer to hearing the finished product. New release dates were scheduled a full year after it was first announced to drop, listening events were held and tracks were teased in advertisements, but when the album failed to materialize on those dates, some began to wonder if DONDA, much like YANDHI, will just be another Kanye West pipe dream. It remai...
From Fan to Family: How Discord Gave Artists a Platform to Connect With Purpose
The social media landscape has changed over the past few years. Myspace took the world by storm when it launched in 2003. Then came Facebook a year later, revolutionizing the way that we connect with friends, family, and loved ones. But now Facebook’s imminent doom lingers like a roadkill stench, and other platforms are swooping in to pick up the slack. Twitter created a platform that allows people to share bite-sized pieces of information and join conversations from all around the world. YouTube has provided creators with a podium to share their stories and build their brands. TikTok has replaced Vine and filled the void of video memes millennials and Gen Z’ers yearned for during a global pandemic. While every social media platform has a unique position within the online social community,...
Christian Bale to Star as Infamous Pastor in “The Church of Living Dangerously” Film Adaptation
Back in 2019, Vanity Fair published a wild investigative article titled “The Church of Living Dangerously” tracking the rise and fall of John Lee Bishop, the popular Oregon pastor-turned-drug smuggler for the Mexican cartel. Today, New Regency has revealed it’s acquired film rights to David Kushner’s viral story, with Christian Bale attached to star as the infamous preacher. The film adaption of “The Church of the Living Dangerously” does not yet have a director on board. However, Deadline reports that Oscar-winning writer Charles Randolph (The Big Short, Bombshell) will pen the script. Bale, New Regency, Ellen Goldsmith Vein, and Eric Robinson of The Gotham Group will all serve as producers. “The Church of Living Dangerously” is a whirlwind story that recounts Bishop’s rough childhood, hi...
“Never Call Me Your Drummer Again!” The Time Charlie Watts Punched Mick Jagger
Charlie Watts, the legendary drummer whose jazz-inflected grooves kept The Rolling Stones, rolling along, has died at the age of 80. The tributes have been pouring in, and amidst all of the fond remembrances, one memory sticks out as being more fond than most: the time Watts punched Mick Jagger. The anecdote comes from Stones’ guitarist Keith Richards’ 2010 autobiography Life. During a period when Jagger was one of the most famous people in the entire world — and, as Richards tells it, among the most irritating — Watts was one of the few people willing to put him in his place. “There was a rare moment, in late 1984, of Charlie throwing his drummer’s punch — a punch I’ve seen a couple of times and it’s lethal; it carries a lot of balance and timing,” Richards wrote. “He has t...
10 Great K-Pop Songs Released in 2021 That You Might Not Have Heard Yet
Even with most touring plans still on hold, 2021 has been another major year for K-pop. Once considered more of a niche industry, K-pop’s explosion in recent years has transformed the genre into a force to be reckoned with.

K-pop releases in 2021 have included R&B, punk rock, tropical and electronic influences. With the intent of highlighting all of those sounds, we’ve included recent picks from several promising rookies, as well as fresh cuts from more veteran acts like TWICE.

In Photos: Psycho Las Vegas 2021 Brings Doom, Sludge, and Metal Merriment to Sin City
After canceling last year’s event due to the pandemic, and a plethora of last-minute lineup changes due to travel restrictions, Psycho Las Vegas seemingly pulled an ace from their sleeve. The festival returned this past weekend for a reworked and revamped 2021 edition that still rivaled any of their previous years. The festivities kicked off on Thursday (August 19th) with the annual Psycho Swim party, despite the cancellation of The Skull (sadly, singer Eric Wagner just passed away from COVID pneumonia). Old Man Gloom, Bongzilla, and Blackwater Holylight had all those who arrived to the festival early in the pool, beers in hand. The festival got off to its official start on Friday, with Twin Temple on the main stage at 1 p.m. COVID protocols were in place throughout the resort, and everyon...
King Krule Announces Live Album ‘You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down’
King Krule has officially announced his upcoming live album You Heat Me Up, You Cool Me Down, also dropping its lead single, ”Stoned Again (Live).” The new project was recorded during the handful of European shows he performed just weeks before the world went into lockdown, and features a total of 17 tracks from Man Alive!, The OOZ and 6 Feet Beneath the Stars — the latter of which was named one of HYPEBEAST’s best albums to listen to while at home. ”Once spilt into the cheap 4 tracks and pirate software, now collosos energy redeemed into small diaphragms. Sat on toilets imagining the moment other animals would sing the very vibrations back to them. Climbing a ladder of fulfilment, that fullfills neither need or want, but in ascent maybe the organised grouping of heartbeats pound...

Matt Cameron Remembers Charlie Watts: ‘The Epitome of Cool’
Earlier on Tuesday, Rolling Stones drummer Charlie Watts died suddenly at the age of 80. Watts was one of the greatest drummers in rock history. Tributes to Watts came pouring in from the music world, expressing their gratitude for his incredible legacy. We asked Soundgarden/Pearl Jam drummer Matt Cameron to write a few words to pay tribute to Watts’ legacy because honestly, who would be better than Cameron? Charlie Watts was the epitome of cool. His contributions to the world of music and drumming will live on forever. He had a beautifully greasy swagger in his drumming that was completely his own thing. He gave the Stones an authentic swing that partly came from his love of African American Be-Bop masters like Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk. I always admired the jazz sensibilities in...
