Gryffin Joins Forces With Blanke and Eyelar for Emotive Single, “Colors”
In a dream collaboration of sorts, Gryffin has joined forces with EDM.com Class of 2021 star Blanke for a new single, “Colors.” “Colors” is a cathartic love song that finds Gryffin returning to his roots as he gears up for the release of his hotly anticipated sophomore album, Alive. The aching track is reminiscent of the signature, guitar-driven sound on which he glided to the upper echelon of dance music around 2016. The single features a poignant topline from surging singer-songwriter Eyelar, whose visceral lyrics channel colorful motifs to explore the sublime feeling of finally finding the right person: “Cellophane sunsets, summer rain, blood red, color me / You make me feel your inspiration.” Take a listen to “Colors” below.

Martin Garrix and Breathe Carolina Drop Ferocious Electro Track, “Something”
Martin Garrix‘s breakneck year continues with “Something,” an electrifying collab with Breathe Carolina. It seems the Dutch EDM superstar simply doesn’t have an “off” button. He has released a dizzying amount of new music in 2022, including his debut club album, Sentio. Out now by way of Garrix’s own STMPD RCRDS imprint, “Something” growls with the barbarity of a modern STMPD electro house banger. Fun fact: his own voice can be heard on the pre-drop lyric, “And it goes something like.” Garrix recently dropped the record during his high-flying DJ sets at Tomorrowland’s first two weekends of 2022, and to say it went off would be a gross understatement: “Something” continues the rollout of an upcoming joi...

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Cliff Hawkins / Getty Former Basketball Hall-Of-Fame player and analyst Charles Barkley stirred up some controversy on the green as he openly talked about possibly joining the LIV Golf Tour as a broadcaster.

GOP Senators Block Bill That Would Help Vets Exposed To Toxins, Vets Stage Sit-In
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Anadolu Agency / Getty The Sgt. 1st Class Heath Robinson Honoring Our PACT Act passed swimmingly through the House and Senate earlier this summer but now, 25 GOP senators voted against a House-modified version of the PACT Act. In response, military veterans say they will be staging a sit-in protest. To illustrate the political divisiveness at the congressional level, the PACT Act passed at a clip of 342-88 in the House and 84-14 in the Senate. When the House returned and passed a version of the PACT Act that added 23 toxic and burn pit exposure conditions to the Veteran Affairs database, GOP senators are apparently uncomfortable with the changes. In addition, protections were extended to first responders who suffered from exposure during the 9/11 attacks....
