In the past year, pop-punk has made its comeback, but with the help of some unlikely forces. The first of those forces are hip-hop crossovers, which have propelled pop-punk to the top of the charts. 24kGoldn and iann dior’s single, “Mood”, blended elements of pop-punk and hip-hop and went to No. 1. On the Alternative Airplay chart, All Time Low got their first No. 1 with their single “Monsters”, which featured hip-hop star blackbear. A remix featuring D...

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Changes His Middle Name: ‘Welcome to the Love Era’
Need proof? Diddy shared a snap of his Florida driver license which carries his full, official name (and height, to remove all mystery). “Look what I just got in the mail today… It’s official!!!” he writes. “Welcome to the love era.” The three-times Grammy Award winner and Revolt TV network founder was born Sean John Combs in New York City back in 1969.
