Kendrick Lamar Once Considered Not Releasing ‘Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers’
Kendrick Lamar has revealed that at one point in time, he had doubts about whether he should release his DAMN. followup, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers. In his recent W Magazine cover story, the artist explained that the vulnerability and insecurities he created the album with were actually what almost caused him to shelve the record — if not for his kids and their future kids. “When I got to completion and I said, ‘I may or may not put this out; I’m not going to put this out; it’s way too much,’ I thought about my children,” K-Dot said. “I thought about when they turn 21, or they’re older in life, and when I got grandchildren, or if I’m long gone—this can be a prerequisite of how to cope. That’s the beauty of it for me.” Lamar also opened up about the amount of honesty he put in the al...

Meet the Artists Shaping the Wave Music Scene
Since starting out as a simple hashtag on SoundCloud in 2017, Wave has become one of the most dynamic trends in the electronic music scene. Initially championed by Plastician on his weekly “Rinse FM” show, the Wave genre has grown into its own flourishing DIY ecosystem, branching out and mutating into a bona fide movement. While trap music was at a dead end and drum & bass hadn’t yet exploded in the U.S., the Wave scene was thriving. Borrowing influences from U.K. dubstep, cloud rap, grime, witch house and trance, the sound steadily infiltrated the underground until it reached the ears of RL Grime. Due in part to his support of Skeler’s track “Arcadia” at EDC Las Vegas 2019, Wave catapulted into the spotlight. Despite the impact of the pandemic on the live music...
