Atlanta Rapper Germ Says He Saw Girlfriend Abducted Before Her Murder
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: @germ / Instagram An Atlanta-based rapper is dealing with the tragedy of his girlfriend being murdered last week. And worst of all—he claims he saw her being kidnapped before she was murdered hours later. [embedded content] The authorities have publicly released the 911 call made by local artist Germ, who called them after claiming to witness the abduction of his girlfriend, Mariam Abdulrab.

Germ made the call to a 911 operator after witnessing a man in a security shirt force Abdulrab into an SUV at gunpoint. She was found hours later outside an abandoned house by someone, who told the operator “she does not appe...
Stephen A. Smith Speaks On Max Kellerman’s Pending Departure
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Icon Sportswire / Getty It’s been obvious for a while now that ESPN’s First Take duo of Stephen A. Smith and Max Kellerman weren’t exactly keen on each other for whatever reason(s). Now with word that Max Kellerman is on his way out of the show and Stephen A. will be hosting new debate partners on a daily basis instead of straight up replacing Max with a longterm partner. While Smith has kept mum on the rumors and developments over at First Take, he did give The Morning Hustle his feelings on the pending departure and assured them that talk of a personal beef between the two was an “absolute lie.” “[Max Kellerman] has a way of doing things; I have another way. He equivocates a lot — obviously he’s very, very intellectual — and he wants to show you how kno...

Zeds Dead Deconstruct “i think you’re cool” For Poignant Acoustic Rendition: Listen
Following their foray into the chill and downtempo worlds of electronic music with the trippy Catching Z’s mixtape, Zeds Dead have unveiled four new remixes. While largely devoid of their signature wobbly sound, Catching Z’s was a masterclass in versatility. The diverse nature of the record is reflected in its remix package, which features edits by A-BO, Pocket, and a collaborative rework from QUIET VISON and IMANU. The EP kicks off with Zeds Dead’s acoustic version of “i think you’re cool,” a future bass-inspired track featuring a hypnotic top-line from singer-songwriter Jenna Pemkowski. Her vocals are much more forceful here thanks to the removal of all drums, offering a poignant ballad. Pocket goes the house rou...

The Whimsical Music Video for Porter Robinson’s “do-re-mi-fa-so-la-ti-do” Is Here
Electronic music virtuoso Porter Robinson is no stranger to pretty, aesthetically-pleasing things.

15 Minute Live Performances: Cedric Burnside
Cedric Burnside is redefining country music. The son of blues drummer Calvin Jackson and the grandson of Mississippi blues legend R.L. Burnside, there’s no doubt he inherited his distinctive North Mississippi Hill Country Blues sound, while giving his more modern take a flavor of his funk, rock, soul, and hip-hop influences. The result is soulful blues, honest and powerful. Playing and on tour with his grandfather since his early teen years, his new album I Be Trying (released in June), is a 13-track manifesto devoted to life and love in the American South, songs so direct and stripped down it’s impossible to deny Cedric’s innate talent as a performer, as you’ll see here, in his exclusive 15-minute performance. Watch previous performances from UPSAHL, KANDLE, Cha Wa, Ro...
