Bad Bunny, Anitta, Rosalía and More: Latin Stars Nominated For The 2023 Grammy Awards
Bad Bunny made history on Tuesday (Nov. 15) when Un Verano Sin Ti became the first Spanish-language album to be nominated for the Grammy Award for album of the year. Explore See latest videos, charts and news See latest videos, charts and news It was one of three nominations the Puerto Rican superstar scooped for his mega-successful set, and many had anticipated it. Perhaps less expected was Anitta’s nomination for best new artist, since the Brazilian star debuted almost a decade ago with a self-titled album that was followed by four other LPs. However, the “Downtown” and “Me Gusta” singer has made a bigger impact in the American market, incorporating some English into her last two albums, 2019’s Kisses and 2022’s Version Of Me, as well as with songs like “Lobby” with Missy Elliott a...

‘Black Ink Crew’ Recap: Ceaser Wants Rok & Krystal To Give Him A Cut or He Will Put Them Out of Business
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty This week on Black Ink Crew, Ceaser wants a piece of Rok and Krystal’s pie, and if they don’t, he won’t feel any qualms about putting them out of business. Kyrstal’s Replacement, Nychelle, Introduces Herself To The Crew Last week Ceaser introduced Krystal’s replacement Nychelle. The tattoo artist/rapper from Texas wasn’t greeted warmly by the ladies of Black Ink, but the fellas weren’t mad, and who can blame them? Nychelle eventually won over Young Bae because she already had clients coming into the shop on her first day. After Bux and Alex drooled over the bootylicious tattoo artist, they took her to get some authentic New York pizza. Nychelle wasn’t too impressed with the pizza, but she did bond with her new coworkers, who bro...
Bhad Bahbie Blasted For Blackfishing, Blonde Bozo Barks Back
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Bhad Bahbie, one of the elite cultural appropriators of our time, once more showed her alabaster behind after posting some images of her looking like a Black woman despite being of Jewish and Italian descent. The alleged rapper and OnlyFans star tried to clap back on critics but we’re failing to see how it all lines up. Bhad Bahbie, 19, shared a video on her Instagram page showing off a new look that certainly had us confused by who we were looking at. At a glance, Bahbie doesn’t look like the loud-mouthed white teen we first met via Dr. Phil. In the clip, showing off long blond tresses, Bahbie’s skin is decidedly brown in a way that cannot be achieved in a tanning booth but certainly via makeup. Her response to the critique of the video was captured ...

AI-Powered Stem Creation Company AudioShake Wins Big at 2022 Music Tectonics Conference
Lose contact with your mix engineer? AudioShake’s got you covered. Picture this: you get hit up by a music supervisor at Netflix. They want to use your track, but they need the stems in six hours.

So you have to pass on the opportunity, costing you tens of thousands of dollars in sync licensing fees and future performance royalties. That’s where AudioShake comes in. Powered by artificial intelligence, the AudioShake platform gives musicians the ability to create stems out of a single audio file in a number of formats, like MP3, WAV or FLAC.

Kygo Drops Surprise Album, “Thrill Of The Chase”
“Why not?” is something we say when asked if we want another beer, or deciding to add guac to a burrito. For Kygo, it was dropping a full-length album. The dance music superstar has surprise-released a brand new LP, Thrill Of The Chase. The album, which he hadn’t even announced prior to today, is his first since 2020’s scintillating Golden Hour. Kygo said a few of the songs on Thrill Of The Chase are “different from anything” he’s ever created in the past. That sentiment is most perceptible in “All For Love,” a cinematic banger which dumps his lush sound like sour milk in favor of a darker aesthetic. The same can be said of “Gone Are The Days,” an aching ballad featuring a wistful James Gillespie. Kygo’s ride-or-dies w...

The wistful track, which samples So Plush and Ja Rule’s 1999 single of the same name, finds MNEK belting over an uplifting pop-house arrangement. “Damn” is the second collaboration between Guetta and Galantis, who joined forces with Little Mix in 2021 for “Heartbreak Anthem,” a global hit which was recently certified Gold by the RIAA. “After ‘Heartbreak Anthem,’ David Guetta and I wanted to team up again for something more house driven,” said Christian Karlsson of Galantis. “‘Damn (You’...
