G-REX & TVBOO Show Off Dual Strengths on Twisted Collab “Dweller” [Premiere]
2020 has been an unconventional year to say the least, so it seems fitting for the quirky duo of G-REX and TVBOO to deliver a collaboration like they have today. “Dweller” combines brilliant sound design and unexpected sonic direction, pulling from each producer’s strengths to offer up this highly anticipated track. G-REX is a familiar name in the bass and trap scene.

TVBOO is a newer act out of the WAKAAN community and host of TVBOO Talks, his own comical podcast that welcomes artists from around the festival circuit. Like his collaborator, he was one of t...
Listen to the Skrillex-Produced Single “Man of the Year” from Juice WRLD’s Posthumous Album
The first posthumous album from the late Chicago hip-hop artist Juice WRLD has arrived. The 21-track LP features previously released singles “Righteous,” “Tell Me U Luv Me” with Trippie Redd, “Life’s a Mess” with Halsey, and “Come & Go,” which was produced by Marshmello. Tucked away in the expansive project is a scintillating track by the name of “Man of the Year,” which was produced by Skrillex. The production is markedly more reminiscent of Skrillex’s time with alt-rock band From First to Last than his own electronic sound, with crunchy guitar riffs that meld seamlessly with Juice WRLD’s unique hip-punk style. Legends Never Die represents Juice WRLD’s third solo studio album. He rel...
