K Woods Foundation To Hold 3-On-3 Basketball Tournament In Park Hill, Staten Island
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: K Woods Foundation / K Woods Foundation The Wu-Tang Clan might’ve been able to make it out of Park Hill in Staten Island. But unfortunately, not many other residents can go on to become Hip-Hop icons like the killer bees. With that being the case the K Woods Foundation in the Park Hill section of Staten Island is holding a 3-on-3 basketball tournament this August to engage the community and give participants something to get involved in. But the foundation can’t do it on their own and are hoping the culture lends a hand and donates to their GoFundMe in order to get the ball rolling and bouncing on the court in the rugged lands of Shaolin. “The K Woods Foundation is dedicated to youth development and building community through teamwork and leadership. We a...

Cardi B Will Feature on Lizzo’s New Track “Rumors”
Lizzo announced on Monday that Cardi B will feature on “Rumors,” her first new single since 2019’s Cuz I Love You, slated to release this Friday, August 13. “Good morning, motherf***er! That’s who it’s featuring y’all, period,” said Lizzo on a FaceTime call with a barely-awake Cardi in a video posted to Instagram. “It’s Harry Styles!” Lizzo joked. “Yo what the f***? What’s going on. Why you call me so early? It’s nine o’clock in the morning,” Cardi responded as she attempted to wake herself up. Fueling excitement surrounding the collaboration, Lizzo captioned the video: “GRAND RISING MUTHAF***ASSSSS…. GUESS WHOS HOPPIN ON ‘RUMORS’ W/ ME?!?” Lizzo announced her return to music last week, revealing the single’s title, cover art and release date on Instagram, with the caption, “NEW ERA B*TCH....
Malice In Zuckerland
I am writing these words from the corner into which Facebook has exiled me, for allegedly offending “community standards.” Witness this shocking announcement that popped onto my screen yesterday morning: ” Your account is restricted for 3 days. Your previous posts didn’t follow our Community Standards,so you can’t do things like post or comment.” They claim that three of my commentaries broke their rules, but fail to specify which. (Only three, I wonder?) My guess is the one expressing my opinion that those convicted of January 6th insurrection crimes should not receive token sentences — two days on a work farm; “community service” sweeping parking lots. Like all traitors who attempt the violent overthrow of our Constitution, they deserve severe penalties, up to and including executio...
IMANU Falls Through Stage at Czech Music Festival, Ends Up in Hospital
One of the best nights of IMANU‘s promising young career quickly devolved into one that ended with him in a hospital bed. The budding bass music producer took the stage over the weekend at Let It Roll, a Czech music festival in the Milovice Airport complex. He appeared alongside a bevy of iconic drum & bass artists, such as A.M.C, Netsky, NOISIΛ, and a collaborative performance by Mefjus and Camo & Krooked. The fest was eventually hit with inclement weather, as heavy winds and rain walloped the stage and led to a severe thunderstorm, according to NOISIΛ’s Thys. He tweeted yesterday that an artist “fell through the stage and was picked up by ambulance,” adding that he was okay in the aftermath of the incident. IMANU eventually shared an I...
Lorde Said Her Upcoming Album Was Almost a “Big Acid Record”
In a new interview, Lorde shared a few origin stories behind her hotly anticipated Solar Power LP—and some tantalizing comments about its potential electronic influences. Ahead of her third studio album, scheduled to drop on August 20th, the indie pop superstar discussed the record in a new episode of The New York Times’ “Diary of a Song” series along with longtime producer Jack Antonoff. Waxing poetic about the inspiration behind Solar Power, Lorde said she thought she was going to make a “big acid record.” “The references are so deep, conjuring that slight kind of ‘cult leader,’ ‘take the drug I’m about to put on your tongue’ sort of world,” she explained. “I say, ‘Let the bliss begin’ [in ‘Sola...
Someone Released a Full Album of Daft Punk and Michael Jackson Mashups
It’s somewhat of a golden rule to not mess with a good thing. But what about two? When it comes to music, mashup maestro Calb is a pro at rearranging cult-classic albums into interdisciplinary works of art. His latest project, Thriller Access Memories, is an electrifying synthesis Daft Punk‘s Random Access Memories and Michael Jackson‘s Thriller. Out August 3rd, Thriller Access Memories weaves together the dazzling instrumentals of RAM with Jackson’s vocals. Its resulting tracks, with names like “Instant Billie Jean” and “Fragments of Beat It,” are scintillating blends of disco and pop, built from beats and lyrics you probably already know by heart. The bright and dreamy closer, “I Feel Human Nature,&...

SepulQuarta – SEPULTURA
RATING: 8/10 Brazilian thrash metal legends SEPULTURA have had to endure the ravaging pandemic just like everyone else. The pandemic’s timing was incredibly unfortunate for the band having just released their monstrous album “Quadra” in February of 2020: meaning that the unit was unable to tour in its support. The prolific, hardworking act didn’t allow the pandemic to force them into a state of inactivity, however. Instead, the Brazilians enlisted some of their friends and colleagues to re-record some of their classic material; songs that were released in a series of YouTube videos that have since been mixed and mastered by Conrado Ruther into a collection titled “SepulQuarta”. The guest musicians amount to a veritable “who’s who” list ...
HALESTORM To Release New Single ‘Back From The Dead’ Next Week
HALESTORM will release a new single, “Back From The Dead”, on August 18. A teaser for the track is available below. HALESTORM singer Lzzy Hale commented: “Up from the dirt I rise. “It’d be so much easier to just sink into the hole that I have dug for myself, the grave that this world, broken trust, guilt, toxic relationships, pressure, anxiety and depression have helped me create. But that’s not who I am. Is it harder to pick myself up and out of the blackness that sometimes plagues my mind? Yes. But no one ever said being your best self is easy. Self love is a full time job. And as always, music comes to the rescue. “My words and messages in my songs that I’ve been so lucky to have unleashed for others empowerment… is also my empowerment. It...
BRUCE DICKINSON Postpones Last Two Shows Of Spoken-Word Tour After COVID-19 Diagnosis In His Household
IRON MAIDEN singer Bruce Dickinson has postponed the last two dates on his U.K. spoken-word tour after a member of his “immediate household” tested positive for COVID-19, the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The news of the postponement was shared earlier today via MAIDEN‘s social media sites. The full statement reads as follows: “Due to a member of Bruce‘s immediate household having tested positive for Covid-19, it is with great regret that the final two shows of his ‘Evening With’ tour cannot go ahead as planned tonight at the Birmingham Alexandra or tomorrow at Shepherd’s Bush Empire, London.
