Support for Cuba and its citizens took center stage at the 18th annual Premios Juventud on Thursday night (July 22), where Pitbull, Camila Cabello and Emilio Estefan delivered a message of hope and solidarity. “Let me tell you that the biggest freedom we have is music,” Pitbull said. “Thanks to music, we have this movement called ‘Patria y Vida.’ I want to thank Gente de Zona and Yotuel and everyone who is part of that song and part of this very real revolution.

Jordan Peele Unveils Poster for Upcoming Movie ‘Nope’
After taking us on a wild ride into The Sunken Place in Get Out and sending chills down our spines when introducing The Tethered in Us, Jordan Peele is ready to broaden his directorial wings with a new motion picture titled Nope. So far we know little information about the forthcoming film, other than the fact that Daniel Kaluuya — who played a lead role in the aforementioned Get Out movie — Keke Palmer and Steven Yeun will be the lead actors, the latter of which was said to be in the contract negotiation stage for the movie this past April. The artwork for the impending film is rather odd as it displays a gloomy evening and a dark cloud hovering over what appears to be an illuminated city or local festival. Additionally, you can spot a long string of colorful flags that’s ominously floati...

Lil Uzi Vert Set to Become “First Human to Legally Own a Planet”
Lil Uzi Vert is preparing to buy a planet. Yes, you read that correctly. Just one day after we’ve started collectively recovering from the billionaire space race, the rapper announced his pending extraterrestrial purchase on social media. The interplanetary tea was actually spilled first by Grimes, who retweeted an artist’s rendering of the planet in question — WASP-127 b. “This is WASP-127b, a gas giant exoplanet 1.4x larger than Jupiter orbiting a yellow dwarf star (like ours)!” the original space-centric account tweeted, leading Grimes to reply, “Apparently @LILUZIVERT owns this planet – just a heads up.” The Eternal Atake rapper quickly responded, confirming Grimes’ assertion while noting she had actually beaten him to the punch. “I tried 2 surprise everyone…still working on it,” he wr...

Timothée Chalamet Dreams Of Zendaya In New Dune Trailer
A new trailer for part one of Dune, the epic adaptation of Frank Herbert’s 1965 sci-fi novel of the same name, has dropped, starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya. With its stunning desert visuals, the trailer introduces Chani (Zendaya), a member of the indigenous Fremen people in the desert planet Arrakis (Dune), narrating the oppression her people are suffering (“The outsiders ravage our lands in our eyes,” she says in voiceover). But the trailer also makes sure to hint toward a romance between its two young stars — Chalamet and Zendaya. The former’s Paul Atreides tells his mentor Duncan (Jason Momoa), “I’ve been having dreams about a girl on Arrakis. I don’t know what it means.” A shot of Paul and Chani having a gentle kiss is also shown in the trailer. The plot is dense but concerns ...
OTHERWISE Drops Unofficial RAIDERS Anthem ‘Silver And Black’
OTHERWISE and Mascot Records/Mascot Label Group have presented the second reveal from the band’s upcoming EP titled “Defiance”. The song is in some respects a celebration and rallying cry for the band’s now-hometown football team the Raiders. Titled “Silver And Black”, the recording can be previewed below. Adrian Patrick reflects: “Growing up in Las Vegas, we never had our own professional sports team. So, for a lot us football fans, the closest thing was our second west coast home: Los Angeles. The Raiders have always been known as the ‘bad boys’ of the NFL and we can totally relate with that, from a rock ‘n’ roll perspective. My first starter brand ball cap was a Raiders hat and anyone who is a huge fan of N.W.A. (like we ...
