Gunna Has Been Released from Jail
Just over seven months ago, Young Thug, Gunna and 26 other Young Stoner Life (YSL) associates were part of a 56-count grand jury indictment in Fulton County, leading to the arrest of both artists.

Liquid Stranger Is No Stranger to a Good Time On the “DIMENSIONS” Tour
Tasked with guiding my friend through his first EDM concert, I was confident Liquid Stranger would take good care of us. The Wakaan boss brought his DIMENSIONS tour to the Commodore Ballroom in Vancouver, B.C. on November 26th for a night of head-banging, hip-swinging fun. I took a small survey of festival-goers at Thunderdome earlier this year and Liquid Stranger was overwhelmingly among the lineup’s favorites. That reputation was well-deserved. Already a fan of his music—songs like “Dissolve,” “Dragonhawks” and “Don’t Stop” serve as building blocks for some of my most cherished playlists—it was reassuring to see his live performance measure up. Stranger was also trusted to close out the final day of Beyond Wonderland at the Gorge’s Ch...
Detroit Techno Icon Jeff Mills Soundtracks Dior’s Fall 2023 Runway Show at Pyramids of Giza
Detroit techno legend Jeff Mills was the artist behind the sound of Dior’s Fall 2023 runway show soundtrack. Affectionately known as “The Wizard,” Mills partnered with fashion designer Kim Jones for the science fiction-influenced collection. The Dior show, which went down Sunday, December 4th, was aptly titled “Celestial.” Flaunting bright, futuristic and otherworldly fashion in front of the Pyramids of Giza, the runway could’ve easily been a Cercle show. Throughout the show, Mills’ tracks “Step To Enchantment,” “Gamma Player,” “Microbe” and “Daphnis (Keeler’s Gap)” accompanied the flashy walks. Jones mentioned that techno is a perfect complementary genre for the elements of the 75-piece as...

Monaleo Is the Most Honest Rapper in the Game
Rapping was never in the cards for Monaleo – at the very least, “rapper” is a title she’s been reluctant to claim since achieving viral stardom. It was only two years ago that the 21-year-old Houston native, whose real name is Leondra Gay, tagged along with her brother, the rapper Yung Rampage, for one of his studio sessions. While she grew up singing in church, it was only after some familial encouragement that she got behind the mic herself, trading bars with her brother on-the-fly in a series of clips shared online. While documentation of the sister-brother duo’s early recordings has since been wiped from the internet, encouragement from fans on social media and the growing like count on her videos planted the seeds for Monaleo’s next move. Then a student at Texas’ Prairie View A&M ...
Diddy Shares R&B-Heavy New Single “Sex in the Porsche”
Diddy is keeping it chill with his new track, “Sex in the Porsche.” The single features a vibe-heavy feature from Canadian artist and producer PARTYNEXTDOOR. After opening the song with distinctly choppy vocals, PARTYNEXTDOOR hands it over to Diddy, who jumps in with a laidback verse. “I invented champagne makin’ love in the rain / No way out this, might be the last train,” he raps. “Showed her s**t she never could see / She think she dreamin,’ I had to tell her to breathe.” PARTYNEXTDOOR rejoins, crooning the song’s title on repeat. While not a standout, it’s a fun, rhythmic listen for R&B fans. “Sex in the Porsche” follows Diddy’s June collaboration with Louisville rapper Bryson Tiller on the single “Gotta Move On.” Both tracks are expected to appear on Diddy’s forthcoming fifth stud...
Sticky Situation: GloRilla Says She Lets Her Man Drop Love Bullets On Her Food, Says It’s A Joke
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE GloRilla is one of the biggest Hip-Hop stars at the moment and still riding high off the fame she achieved earlier in the year and the release of the Anyways, Life’s Great… EP. Making the podcast and interview rounds, the Memphis rapper shared a wild detail of how she, ahem, likes her food seasoned with her man’s “love bullets” but she claims it was all in the name of humor. In a clip that has since gone viral, GloRilla sat down with the hosts of the Lip Service podcast where she made the utterance that she likes her man to release himself over her food before she dines.
