Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama Channel Witchcraft in “Beg for You” Video: Stream
Charli XCX and Rina Sawayama are unleashing their witchcraft in the music video for their new single “Beg for You.” The Nick Harwood-directed visual for the infectious dance floor banger finds the two avant-garde stars quite literally on an altar, surrounded by other young women in shades of red, pink, and black as they’re forced into a ritual by a white-cloaked priest of the occult and his latex-clad assistant. “Oh don’t you leave me this way/ Won’t you wait another hour or two?/ You know I need you to stay/ Don’t make me beg for you/ ‘Cause I’ll beg for you” Charli belts as she slices her hand and her blood pours into a red pool for the priest to drink. However, the duo’s innate power ultimately wins out, taking over the other women in a freeing dance party as sparks explode around them....

Rap Song of the Week: Pusha T Makes His Triumphant Return with “Diet Coke”
Our new music feature Rap Song of the Week runs down the hip-hop tracks you need to hear every Friday. Check out the full playlist here. This week, Pusha T shares “Diet Coke,” the lead single from his upcoming fourth album. In recent interviews, Pusha T has been talking up his fourth studio LP, reportedly titled It’s Not Dry Yet, as “the album of the motherfucking year.” It’s a pretty standard boast for any upper echelon MC, but he’s added fuel to the fire by describing it as “one thousand percent rap superhero shit.” Whatever that actually means, the drug rap king is back with a vengeance after taking roughly two years off to spend time with his son.

In a newly released song called “City Of God,” featuring Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys, Ye aims some bars at his ex Kim Kardashian and her current boyfriend Pete Davidson.

Kanye West Demands Billie Eilish Apologize To Travis Scott, She Responds
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Theo Wargo / Getty Ye aka Kanye West is back in the headlines, this time threatening to pull out of Coachella unless Billie Eilish publicly apologizes to Travis Scott. According to reports, the singer stopped performing during her concert in Atlanta last Saturday (February 5th) for her Happier Than Ever Tour. She witnessed a fan who had trouble breathing.

Don’t crowd.” In-camera footage taken by another fan, she also said, “We’re taking care of our people. I wait for people to be OK until I keep going.” Some observers – West among them – took that as a jab directed towards Scott, still dealing with the aftermath of the tragedy at his Astro...
