Drake Selling Scented Candles That Smell Like Drake
The only thing Drake loves more than himself is knowing how much more he’s loved by other people. Perhaps that’s why the Toronto rapper has created a new scented candle that “actually smells like Drake,” so fans can cozy up to his essence in the comfort of their own homes. Drake began teasing his new candle line, Better World Fragrance House, in June by mailing the fragrances to a bunch of his friends, including Kehlani, Steph Curry, and Toronto Raptors players Norm Powell, Fred Van Fleet, and Kyle Lowry. In turn, the celebs all shared pictures of the wicked wonders on social media. “Okayyyyyy thank you @champagnepapi,” wrote Kehlani alongside a photo of a candle inscribed with her name. The official Better World Fragrance House line is set to officially launch “this holiday season,” but t...

Pocahonta Voice Actress Irene Bedard Arrested Twice in Three Days
Actress Irene Bedard, best known for voicing Pocahontas in the classic 1995 Disney film, was arrested twice in the span of three days. According to TMZ, police responded to a possible domestic violence call last Friday at Bedard’s ex-husband’s home in Ohio.

EXODUS’s STEVE ‘ZETRO’ SOUZA Says TOM HUNTING Sounds ‘Like A Man Possessed’ On ‘Persona Non Grata’ Album
EXODUS singer Steve “Zetro” Souza has praised Tom Hunting‘s performance on the band’s upcoming album, “Persona Non Grata”, saying it was “the most focused” he has ever seen the drummer on an LP. Tentatively due in the summer of 2021 via Nuclear Blast Records, “Persona Non Grata” will be the follow-up to 2014’s “Blood In Blood Out”, which was the San Francisco Bay Area thrashers’ first release since the departure of the group’s lead singer of nine years, Rob Dukes, and the return of Souza, who previously fronted EXODUS from 1986 to 1993 and from 2002 to 2004. In the latest episode of his “Zetro’s Toxic Vault” YouTube show, Souza stated about Hunting‘s playing on “Persona N...
Sea Savage – GAMA BOMB
RATING: 8/10 Fancy some more shit-hot thrash metal? Excellent. GAMA BOMB were always one of the most consistent and ferocious new wave thrash metal bands to emerge during the noughties, and the Irishmen’s psychotic levels of exuberance and dorky humor ensured that they stayed true to one of the genre’s great traditions: fun. And even in a year that has seen a noticeable surge of top-notch thrash releases, “Sea Savage” immediately stands out, if only because it’s stupidly, remorselessly entertaining. It’s like your grandmother always told you, you don’t know you need a song about judo until it finally arrives. “Judo Killer” says it all in three-and-a-half breathless minutes. The thrash wave that spawned them may have slowed to a trickle ...

Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz Ice Cube has been noticeably silent for the past few weeks following his social media dragging for meeting with sitting President, Donald Trump, but he’s back and explaining why. On Monday (Nov 30), the west coast legend took to Twitter to share with fans what he’s been working on during his sabbatical, noting that his reason for stepping back was to drown out the “noise” and “poison” with critics who felt that his approach was incorrect. “I know a lot of people been wondering where I’ve been,” Ice Cube said. “I was real active before the election, talking about what’s needed, specifically from the Black community. About 10 days or two weeks before the election, I pushed back all the way pretty much until now because I just felt there was a lot of no...
