New Album from Tyler, the Creator Teased on Mysterious Website and Billboard
According to sleuths on Reddit, a mysterious new website (CallMeIfYouGetLost.com) and accompanying billboard seem to be teasing an upcoming album from Tyler, the Creator. Both the site and the marquee include the words “Call Me If You Get Lost” as well as the phone number 1 (855) 444-8888. Give it a ring, and you’ll be treated to a nostalgic backing track, along with a woman’s voice saying things like, “His daddy fine,” “He got his looks from me,” and “Tyler momma crazy.” One user attempted to post the audio on Instagram, and received a note saying “Your video has been removed,” because they didn’t have the rights to “MOMMA TALK by Tyler, the Creator.” This led many to speculate that the snippet is from a song called “Momma Talk”. Additionally, fans who used the inspect element ...

Benny the Butcher and Harry Fraud Drop “Sink”: Stream
A little over two months after dropping The Plugs I Met 2, rapper Benny the Butcher has reteamed with producer Harry Fraud to share “Sink”. The song originally appeared as a bonus track on physical editions of The Plugs I Met 2, but this is the first time it’s been available for streaming.

Nabil Elderkin Talks Directing ‘Gully,’ Travis Scott’s Role & Film’s Hip-Hop/Classical ‘Sonic Tapestry’
Gully follows a trio of troubled teens in Los Angeles played by Jacob Latimore (The Chi, Collateral Beauty), Charlie Plummer (Lean on Pete, Looking for Alaska) and Kelvin Harrison Jr. (Waves, Monster). The gritty feature film depicts how the three boys are byproducts of their ‘hood who “don’t really get to play astronaut and stick fight because there’s so much being demanded [from them],” says screenwriter Marcus J. Guillory. In spite of being subject to their respective cycles of violence and abuse at home, their brotherhood remains the most unfailing force in their lives, as Gully portrays a gutting picture of what it means to be a “ride-or-die.” “Music videos was my film school,” Elderkin tells Billboard. Of course, he’s not the only music video director to transition into fi...
