Aftermarket Ye: Resale Websites Not Dropping Yeezy Sneakers
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: EBAY / eBay If you thought aftermarket sneaker resale sites would pass on selling adidas Yeezys despite Kanye West going full antisemite, you thought wrong. Clearly, there is just too much money to be made. With adidas saying it has cut ties and Foot Locker even going as far as removing Yeezy kicks from sales floors, it’s a matter of supply and demand. So the price of even those Yeezy bricks is going up—and you’ll surely find them on spots like StockX or eBay at premium prices—if you have no shame in rocking that guy’s footwear. Reports TMZ: We’ve spoken with several people at some of the resale industry’s biggest sites who all tell us the same thing — Yeezys are about to go way up in value. We’re told this will happen as supply for the shoes continue to ...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / EMPIRE With the release of Extinction Level Event 2 back in 2020, Busta Rhymes returned to the game with a dragon roar forreal.

Big Daddy Kane really out there looking like he pimpin’ o...
Montell Fish Follows Debut Album ‘JAMIE’ With Eerie 7-Track EP ‘Her Love Still Haunts Me Like a Ghost’
Ahead of Halloween weekend, Brooklyn-based artist Montell Fish has shared his new EP, Her Love Still Haunts Me Like A Ghost. The project chases up on Fish’s critically-acclaimed debut album, JAMIE, which debuted just this July. Building on the distinct lo-fi production style Fish gave listeners in JAMIE, Her Love Still Haunts Me Like A Ghost sees the singer turn towards a darker, more transgressive R&B style. On his already-hit single “Hotel,” Fish cuts harsh static with powerful strikes of electric guitar, while “Every Night” employs a rhythmic, trance-like club beat. Speaking to HYPEBEAST earlier this month, Fish described the EP as a “transitional project,” bridging JAMIE and his forthcoming album CHARLOTTE. A later album, entitled MARSHALL, will form a trilogy centered on the ...

Disturbed’s forthcoming album, Divisive, has been four years in the making.

But these have been surreal times, with the coronavirus pandemic delaying albums and tours, and putting people a different head space. For many, lockdown inspired musical creations, but for others, it instigated a change that wasn’t for the better.
