Upcoming Will Smith Projects Paused Following Oscars Slap
Production on several of Will Smith’s upcoming films has been paused following his onstage slap of Chris Rock at the Oscars, The Hollywood Reporter notes. One project now on the back burner is Netflix’s Fast and Loose. Smith was set to play a crime boss who loses his memory.

THR reports that Netflix had put out an urgent call for an experienced director to replace him, but following the slap, Fast and Loose has no director and a suddenly controversial star.

Jay Electronica Reappears From Mountainside Portal With “Exhibit G” Leak
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Johnny Nunez / Getty To say that Jay Electronica is elusive would be a massive understatement but that still doesn’t dull interest in the musical happenings of the mythical lyricist. A reportedly new track titled “Exhibit G” and said to be produced by Just Blaze leaked to the Internet and the New Orleans star sounds as formidable as ever. Not much is known about “Exhibit G” other than it serves to be an extension of the other “Exhibit” tracks such as “Exhibit A,” “Exhibit B” with Yasiin Bey, and the classic “Exhibit C” that still stands as one of Jay Elec’s greatest moments. On “Exhibit G,” Electronica’s voice sits high in the mix and the production is an apt backdrop for his visual penmanship. From “Exhibit G”: Came a long way from the bottom, Our Father...

Five Reasons Why Jon Batiste’s ‘We Are’ Won Album of the Year at the 2022 Grammys
The much-discussed favorite in the album of the year category going into the 64th Annual Grammy Awards on Sunday night (Apr. 3) was undoubtedly Olivia Rodrigo’s Sour, the blockbuster debut effort from 2021 breakout singer/songwriter Olivia Rodrigo. But it wasn’t Sour, nor similarly well-performing and critically acclaimed sets from Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Lil Nas X or Doja Cat, that took home the top honors on the evening. That distinction instead was accepted by Jon Batiste, the veteran do-everything jazz-soul artist, for his We Are album — a No. 86-peaking set on the Billboard 200 albums chart, with only a handful of mainstream reviews to its credit.
