For the anniversary edition, Eminem surprised fans with instrumentals of every song on the original soundtrack. The deluxe version also includes the demo version of “Lose Yourself.

Frank Ocean is heading into radio with the launch of his new Apple Music 1 show, Homer Radio. The new radio show opens up the office space and is set to feature weekly episodes with a run-time of one hour each. The first episode is out now on the platform and features Ivorian/Guadeloupean producer and DJ CRYSTALLMESS. “A one hour window into what plays around our office after hours,” said Frank Ocean. “Twin towering line array speakers hold court. Someone’s vacuuming the carpets adding a distant layer of white noise to the sound. Security is pacing off some boredom while pretending to check the rooms and the safes on a rehearsed patrol. A headset loaded with gadgetry helps a man who dons it to see, with its grids of light and lenses and loupes. Skulls on swivels make no sudden movements; h...

Today, Chloë and Latto have released their new track, “For the Night.” With the new track, Chloë continues to expand her musical catalog as “For the Night” follows behind “Surprise,” “Treat Me” and “Have Mercy.” Produced by London On Da Track, the smooth R&B/Pop song discusses relationship trials and love not being reciprocated. “I ask myself why we can’t be closer/I play those same games a thousand times over/And you crave those long nights with me, oh, don’t you?/You can leave your guard at the door/And let me love you for the night,” sings Chloë in the chorus. Alongside the single, the artists have released an accompanying music video, which cycles between moments dealing with the relationship, dance shot and real clips from Chloë teasing the single at the iHeartRadio Music Festival...

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 ...
