MOUNT WESTMORE, the West Coast rap supergroup comprised of Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40 and Too $hort, have debuted their first ever studio album aptly titled Snoop, Cube, 40, $hort. Clocking in at an hour and five minutes, the 16-track studio effort comes together as a reminder of why the individual careers of the members are so storied. In a genre that has had a history of thriving off beef, Snoop, Cube, 40 and Too $hort stand side by side to honor hip-hop and each other, offering an album that hears them staying true to their roots while constantly attempting to one-up each other in the spirit of friendly competition. As Too $hort succinctly puts its, “E-40 and Too $hort hail from the Bay, while Snoop Dogg and Cube are from LA, and we are like the West Coast foundation.” Stream MOUNT...

EDM.com proudly publishes four installments of annual year-end coverage: Industry Leaders, Performances, Music Producers and Songs. DJing and music production are different. But the difference between the two is like a wallflower—it hides in plain sight, and it’s vastly misunderstood.

Before he became a mau5trap mainstay with his No Mana project, Jordan Orcaz released experimental bass tracks as isqa.

DCEU Head Honcho James Gunn Cancels ‘Wonder Woman 3’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Warner Bros. / Warner Bros. When Guardians of The Galaxy director/writer James Gunn took over as the studio chief for DC films over at Warner Bros. earlier this year, he promised big changes and boy is he delivering on that promise. According to Variety, James Gunn is already making moves over at Warner Bros. and the first official casualty of his new regime is Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman franchise that started off with a bang in 2017 but ended, for now, with a whimper when Wonder Woman 1984 belly-flopped both critically and commercially in 2020. According to a studio insider, after Jenkins submitted a treatment for a third “Wonder Woman,” she was informed by studio leadership that it did not mesh with Gunn and Safran’s emerging plans for the DC Universe,...
