Corey Taylor on Current COVID Bout: “Had I Not Been Vaccinated I Shudder to Think How Bad It Would Have Been”
Corey Taylor has offered an update on his current battle with COVID-19. The Slipknot singer says it’s “the worst I’ve ever been sick in my life,” adding that he has gotten “over the brink” thanks to being vaccinated. The metal vocalist revealed that he tested positive for COVID on Friday (August 20th), offering apologies for missing the Astronomicon pop-culture convention that took place this past weekend in Ann Arbor, Michigan. In a new video message posted Monday (August 23rd) on his social channels, Taylor offered the latest on his condition, saying the following: “I am out of the woods.

Lady Gaga Announces 2021 Las Vegas Residency
What happened in Vegas didn’t quite stay in Vegas, but it did make a hasty return. Lady Gaga has announced a new Las Vegas residency, which begins in October on the site of her first Las Vegas residency at the Park MGM. Gaga first decamped for the comfortable beds and steady checks of a residency in 2018. Her initial “Jazz & Piano” run was so successful, it was extended into 2020. Her next round of “Jazz & Piano” performances will kick off on October 14th and run through October 31st. Given that closing night is also Halloween, you have to imagine that Mother Monster has some spooky tricks up her sleeve.

HHW Gaming: Soulja Boy Claps Back At Atari After Company Says He Is Not The CEO
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Greg Doherty / Getty No, Soulja Boy is not the first rapper to own a video game company. Iconic video company Atari hit the pause button on the boastful rapper’s claims that he was the owner of the electronic gaming company. Soulja Boy first announced to his 6.5 million followers on Instagram that he was running the show, leading to Atari hopping on Twitter to say the rapper was straight capping. “We know that CEO of Atari is a dream job, but that honor belongs to Wade Rosen,” Atari hilariously wrote on their Twitter account. The tall tales-telling rapper initially claimed that Atari was interested in his latest Soulja Boy Game console that they allegedly signed over the company to him. Big Draco even claimed that he planned on selling the company for $14...

We Interrupt This Programming for an Important Message
The Interrupters have a decade together and three albums under their belt and are a musical force. Aimee Interrupter and the Bivona brothers, Kevin, Justin, and Jesse, met in 2009 while on tour with Sugar Ray and Dirty Heads. Aimee was a solo act and The Bivona Brothers were then with The Transplants. Following the tour, Aimee and Kevin started writing together. Soon thereafter Kevin’s twin brothers were brought in to form the band that would eventually be The Interrupters. Oddly enough, The Interrupters’ name was created after Aimee met the Bivonas’ mother, and said, “Your mom is an interrupter, isn’t she?” Hopefully, that fence was mended! The Interrupters’ three album releases between 2014-2018 were produced by Tim Timebomb, of Rancid fame, and released by his label, Hellcat records. In...
ACRAZE Drops Highly Anticipated House Single “Do It To It”: Listen
In 2006, R&B group Cherish released “Do It To It,” which topped the charts for over five months and became a defining song of the noughties. Fast-forward to Friday, when Orlando-based DJ and producer ACRAZE released his highly anticipated rework via Thrive Music—and it’s on track to be the biggest crossover hit of the summer. In a victorious moment a few weeks ago, DJ Snake brought ACRAZE on stage at Brooklyn Mirage and hailed the track as “the song of the summer” before dropping it for a rowdy crowd. With a pulsing bassline and head-bopping drums, the tune is addictive. The beat syncs up perfectly with the catchy and nostalgic vocal hook, making it impossible not to sing and dance along. It’s one of those rare songs that compels the whole crowd to bounce and groove. Way bef...
Listen to Songs By Marc Rebillet’s Decade-Old Music Production Alias, leae
Over the past year or so, Marc Rebillet quickly became a household name. But before Loop Daddy was an international music festival headliner, he released wonky electronic beats and hip-hop instrumentals under a secretive alias. While some super-fans have known about the side project—dubbed leae—for some time now, after browsing some of Rebillet’s near decade-old tracks, we felt it was time to unearth them. As you can hear from the track below, leae’s music is a far cry from Rebillet’s current songs about hormone therapy and grandma-devouring flamingos. It mostly comprises introspective, instrumental solo tracks aside from a few collabs with hip-hop artists. If anything, the sound is a microcosm of not his production chops, but also his growth...
