Under Armour’s Curry 8 Boasts Next Level Technology—Nah, Forreal
Source: Under Armour / Under Armour A few years ago Steph Curry’s caught a lot of flack on social media for his Under Armour Curry 2 silhouettes, but 6 iterations later and those same haters might have to eat their words as UA done cooked up something next level with the good ol’ chef. Source: Under Armour / Under Armour Looking to change the game with UA’s latest Curry Flow 8 under Steph Curry’s new Curry Brand, the latest silhouette ditches the same ol’ same ol’ for some of that new-new technology that can help ballers feel a bit more comfort while shaking-and-baking out on the court. The silhouette marks the introduction of an industry-changing cushioning platform, called UA Flow. UA Flow is positioned to shift the company and the entire sports apparel industry.

Lil Baby “On Me,” DJ Kay Slay ft. AZ, Benny The Butcher, Bun B, Etc. “We Get Busy” & More | Daily Visuals 12.4.20
Source: Prince Williams / Getty As we count down the end to the terrible year that was 2020, few people can actually look back on the worst 365 days in modern history with pride and joy. Lil Baby is one of those people. Having experience all kinds of success and recognition, the Atlanta rapper continues to bless his faithful followers with material to keep them appeased. In his latest visuals to “On Me,” Lil Baby gives us an idea of the kind of life he’s enjoyed thus far including high-en cars, iced out jewelry and a bevy of thick young women vying for his attention. We bet he wishes this year would never end. Us on the other hand… From the South to The East, DJ Kay Slay keeps that mixtape vibe alive and well and in his clip to “Get Busy” compiles a gang of spitters to rip it down includin...
Australia’s Dark Pop Princess
“They say you’re always chasing it, and realistically I don’t think I’m ever gonna be like ‘I made it.’ When I can nail the balance of being happy and releasing music that, to me, would be the ultimate goal. Which I haven’t done yet, but I’m hopefully on my way.” And CXLOE is. Real name Chloe Papandrea, CXLOE already has over 22 million streams, been featured on prominent playlists such as New Music Friday on Spotify and A-List Pop on Apple Music, and her writing credits include working with Ross Golan (Ariana Grande), Justin Tranter (Julia Michaels) and The Futuristics (Selena Gomez). Her debut single “Tough Love” came out in 2017 and since then has released a steady surge of successful singles, such as “Devil You Don’t” and “Between Our Hearts” with electronic trio Cheat Codes, rel...
The Most Influential Artists: #2 Prince
As part of our 35th anniversary, we’re naming the most influential artists of the past 35 years. Today, we’re at #2. From Minneapolis, Minnesota, here is Prince. CREDIT: Michael Montfort/Michael Ochs Archives/Getty Images Prince Rogers Nelson’s kingdom was a soulful, revolutionary world without boundaries. His lust for sex and sultry guitar licks birthed a sound that has traveled long past his personal expiration date. Every step of the Purple One’s career is worthy of its own book, even though no one could possibly tell his story with the kind of flair that he could. Garnering many aliases over his lifetime, Prince developed into pop’s most enigmatic figure. He emerged unassumingly in 1978 as a perverse, funky virtuoso writing straight from the loins and playing every instrument. Early si...
Heem Announces New Project, Shares “The Realest” featuring Benny the Butcher: Stream
Benny the Butcher is best known as one of the leaders of the prolific Griselda crew alongside Conway the Machine and Westside Gunn. However, the Buffalo rapper is also the head honcho of a different collective called the Black Soprano Family, which consists of a number of underground MCs including the rookie Heem. Back in April, Benny signed a deal to make BSF an imprint of eOne, and over the summer he released their debut project, Benny the Butcher & DJ Drama Present: The Respected Sopranos, which featured numerous amazing verses from Heem that hinted at his potential star power. Today, Heem has announced his first solo project, Long Story Short, and he’s giving listeners a fitting preview by sharing a song called “The Realest” that features The Butcher himself. Over an instrumental t...
Billy Corgan on Chris Cornell’s Death: “I’ve Been in That Exact Spot a Thousand Times”
During an interview on The Howard Stern Show this week, Billy Corgan spoke extensively about Chris Cornell’s death and how he could relate to the emotional state the Soundgarden singer was feeling in the moments prior to taking his own life. Stern asked Corgan if Cornell’s death in 2017 “triggered anything inside of you.” “Oh, yeah,” the Smashing Pumpkins frontman responded.” He then relayed “his own version” of the circumstances leading to Cornell’s suicide based on his own experiences. “I’ve stood in front of that mirror a thousand times — just like he did,” Corgan reflected. “You know, kind of an OK gig, you ain’t getting any younger. They weren’t playing the arena, they were playing the theater. I’ve been on those shit tours. You have to be an older band to know what I mean by that. I ...
Dua Lipa Performs First-Ever Tiny Desk (Home) Concert: Watch
Dua Lipa has had a truly breakout year, and she’s riding the wave all the way through to the end: today, the pop star officially made her NPR Tiny Desk debut. Lipa performed a “Home” edition of the long-running concert series that featured stripped-back versions of songs from her Grammy-nominated 2020 album Future Nostalgia . Although these renditions of “Levitating”, “Pretty Please”, “Love Again”, and “Don’t Start Now” are more minimal than the glossy forms they took on Future Nostalgia, the performance was by no means a solo set. Lipa was joined by the six-person backing band that she would’ve been touring the world with if 2020 didn’t turn out the way it did, and they all added a great deal of warmth and color that complements Lipa’s absolutely spot-on singing. In between songs, the 25-...
Protect Live Music: Our New Shirt Promotes an Important Cause
Consequence of Sound made our name by being the go-to source for live music news. That’s why it’s been particularly painful for us to watch the devastating impact the last year has had on the concert industry.

Printed in black on a 100% preshrunk cotton red or gold long sleeve shirt, or on a black shirt with a yellow-grey print. To help sup...
Yolanda Be Cool Celebrates 10 Years of “We No Speak Americano” With International Remix Package

After Cryptic Email Campaign, Subtronics Announces Debut Cyclops Compilation
Last week, a number of electronic music producers received random, cryptic emails from an address that looks like it was comprised of hieroglyphics. Many of those artists tweeted about the email in a collective “WTF” moment, sharing screenshots of it to the bewilderment of EDM Twitter. Adding to the mystique of the whole email quandary was its contents. In a blurb that looks like it was plucked out of a Hunger Games book, the email simply reads, “You have been selected. You will be required to use your individual set of skills in order to survive. Your first mission launches soon.” Confused by the email and its Liam Neeson quote from Taken, many of the artists who received it tried to decipher the message, but to no avail. The source of the email...
