Pop Smoke’s ‘Faith’ Debuts At The Top Of The Billboard Chart
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Claudio Lavenia / Getty On Friday, July 23, Pop Smoke’s second posthumous album, Faith, hit the streets. While was block vibing to it something serious, Billboard too felt its power as it shot to the top of the charts in its first week out. According to Billboard, Pop Smoke’s second offering moved 88,000 equivalent album units from July 16 to July 22, which was enough to secure the top spot just ahead of John Mayer’s latest album, Sob Rock, which moved 84,000 equivalent album units. “Of Faith’s 88,000 equivalent album units earned in the tracking week ending July 22, SEA units comprise 83,000 (equaling 113.34 million on-demand streams of the album’s tracks), album sales comprise 4,000 and TEA units comprise 1,000.” This would mark Pop’s second time at the...

Coi Leray Performs At Rolling Loud Miami, Crowd Chose Violence [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Leanne Leuterio/Rolling Loud / Rolling Loud Coi Leray continues to earn her following; literally one fan at a time. She faced a very stiff crowd during her recent set at Rolling Loud Miami. As spotted on TMZ the up and coming rapper had a hell of a time connecting to the ticket holders that attended the multi day festival over the weekend. Footage captured from the event shows the Boston, Massachusetts native bringing high energy to the stage throughout her set. Unfortunately the crowd seemed unimpressed to say the least. Folks in the first couple of rows were visibly emotionless as she turned up as much as possible. She also invited her boyfriend Pressa to perform their collaboration “Attachments” but still no luck. The performance soon went vi...

Fresh Pressed Reintroduces Festivals to the Pacific Northwest
My eyes were fixated on the Tacoma skyline as I lay on the sharp, prickly grass below the only shaded structure in the venue. Gazing out into the horizon, a silhouette of high rises framed the lonesome stage that would be the focus of the evening. Grappled by my surroundings, I was unaware of the impromptu game of Duck, Duck, Goose that had attendees cheering for the winner as she slid down to the ground. Nor was I aware of the spontaneous crowd that rose from the field to partake in a yoga session. All throughout the venue, mini beehives of activity sprung up, all in high spirits, waiting for the reverberation of the speakers to pull them to the dancefloor. Over an hour later, the crowd cheered on as the music finally returned to Haub Family Field. Nora En Pure performing...
The Majority of Dance Music Fans Believe Festival Organizers Should Mandate Vaccines
In a recent survey conducted by EDM.com, two-thirds of respondents revealed they believe promoters should take action in ensuring that attendees are vaccinated prior to entry. The idea of implementing vaccine passport regulation has been a hotly debated topic in recent weeks. In the United States there is currently no enforcement of such policies at the federal level, which has, by consequence, left the states to make their own decisions. New York, for example, does not mandate businesses to verify vaccination status. However, their implementation of Excelsior Pass, a digital vaccine verification system, has allowed venues to make the decision for themselves as to whether or not they want to utilize it. On the other hand, Florida has banned businesses from verifying vaccination ...

DaBaby Lashes Out at Women and Gay People in Hateful Speech at Rolling Loud Miami
In one of the most bizarre and hateful speeches by a superstar rapper in recent memory, DaBaby took time out of his Rolling Loud Miami set to insult gay people, slander women, and demonize those suffering from autoimmune disorders. The North Carolina MC was trying to hype up the crowd by asking that they hold their cell phone lights aloft. But he did so with a list of the kinds of people he hoped would not participate. “You didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of those [?] sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die [in] two, three weeks, put your cellphone light in the air,” he said, showing off a questionable grasp of science.. “Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put a cell phone light in the air. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking n**** dick in the parking lot, put your c...
