Busta Rhymes Returns With “Slap” ft. Conway The Machine & Big Daddy Kane
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: YouTube / EMPIRE With the release of Extinction Level Event 2 back in 2020, Busta Rhymes returned to the game with a dragon roar forreal. Now the Hip-Hop legend is ready for another go-round in 2022 and bought a Hip-Hop icon and a hired gun to help him burn the place down. Dropping a new single featuring the legendary Big Daddy Kane and bar-dropping robot known as Conway The Machine, Busta Rhymes samples Biz Markie’s classic cut “Just Rhymin’ With Biz” for his new visuals to “Slap” and get busy as only they can. Taking to the club in some fancy mobster-ish attire, the three men shine under the bright lights of the spot while spitting the kind of raps that OG Hip-Hop heads can appreciate and bop to. Big Daddy Kane really out there looking like he pimpin’ o...

Montell Fish Follows Debut Album ‘JAMIE’ With Eerie 7-Track EP ‘Her Love Still Haunts Me Like a Ghost’
Ahead of Halloween weekend, Brooklyn-based artist Montell Fish has shared his new EP, Her Love Still Haunts Me Like A Ghost. The project chases up on Fish’s critically-acclaimed debut album, JAMIE, which debuted just this July. Building on the distinct lo-fi production style Fish gave listeners in JAMIE, Her Love Still Haunts Me Like A Ghost sees the singer turn towards a darker, more transgressive R&B style. On his already-hit single “Hotel,” Fish cuts harsh static with powerful strikes of electric guitar, while “Every Night” employs a rhythmic, trance-like club beat. Speaking to HYPEBEAST earlier this month, Fish described the EP as a “transitional project,” bridging JAMIE and his forthcoming album CHARLOTTE. A later album, entitled MARSHALL, will form a trilogy centered on the ...
The Beach Boys Share Unreleased Track “Carry Me Home” with Dennis Wilson on Vocals: Stream
The Beach Boys have today shared “Carry Me Home,” a longtime fan favorite written and sung by the late Dennis Wilson. Fifty years after it didn’t make the cut for the band’s album Holland, it’ll be included in their upcoming box set Sail On Sailor – 1972. “Carry Me Home” is a slow, piano-driven ballad, embellished with a pedal steel to give it a country flair. The tune holds an even heavier weight in the wake of Wilson’s passing in 1983: “Life/ Is meant to live/ And I’m afraid/ I’m afraid to die,” he sings along with short-time Beach Bot Blondie Chaplin. “It’s eerie listening back to this song after all these years,” Chaplin told Rolling Stone. “It’s how Dennis felt at the time. I see him struggling with his own worries. The voice is really sensitive, and you can feel the emotion...

Disturbed Unleash Title Track from Upcoming Album Divisive: Stream
Disturbed have unveiled the title track from their upcoming album, Divisive, which arrives on November 18th. The song is classic Disturbed, with crunchy riffs, David Draiman’s powerful vocals, and a soaring, melodic chorus. Speaking about the theme of the song in a press release, Draiman explained, “The title track and the title itself are indicative of the incredibly fucked up state of things we are living in. It’s about how hyper-polarity has influenced everything people do in life.” He continued, “People are addicted to outrage. They’re addicted to finding the next thing that will piss them off so they can rave about it on social media. Everything negative was given a shot of steroids.” Advertisement Related Video Guitarist Dan Donegan added, “David was in the room listening to me play ...
