“By Artists For Artists”: LoudKult Emerges As Dance Music Tastemaker
Formed by two musicians, LoudKult knows a thing or two about how to treat electronic music artists.

In a newly released song called “City Of God,” featuring Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys, Ye aims some bars at his ex Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend Pete Davidson.

Kanye West Demands Billie Eilish Apologize To Travis Scott, She Responds
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Ye aka Kanye West is back in the headlines, this time threatening to pull out of Coachella unless Billie Eilish publicly apologizes to Travis Scott.

The fan needed an inhaler, and Eilish obtained one for them. “It’s OK, we got one,” Eilish said. “Give her some time. Don’t crowd.” In-camera footage taken by another fan, she also said, “We’re taking care of our people. I wait for people to be OK until I keep going.” Some observers – West among them – took that as a jab directed towards Scott, still dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy at his Astro...
