17-year-old rapper yvngxchris has tapped Lil Yachty for a new cut, “DAMN HOMIE,” along with a party-packed music video, directed by Elan Bia under his creative imprint No Soap.

Arcade Fire Perform Two Songs Promoting First Image of Milky Way’s Black Hole: Watch
Our galaxy the Milky Way spins around Sagittarius A*, a supermassive, space-time shredding black hole that weighs as much as 4.5 million suns. Today the Event Horizon Telescope team presented the first ever image of Sagittarius A*, and the black hole nerds of Arcade Fire were on hand to trumpet this landmark scientific achievement. Frontman Win Butler and his bandmate and wife Régine Chassagne have long been fascinated by these gravitational phenomena. On the cover of their new album WE, superimposed with a picture of an eye, Arcade Fire placed one of the most famous images in astronomy: a fluorescent orange donut surrounding a dark nothing. It was the first ever image of a black hole: a snapshot of the chonker at the heart of the M87 galaxy 55 million lightyears from Earth, pres...
Dune Rats Premiere Video for New Song “Melted Into Two”: Stream
Australia’s Dune Rats have unveiled a romantic video for their new song “Melted Into Two,” which is premiering exclusively via Heavy Consequence. The tune will appear on the band’s upcoming album, Real Rare Whale, arriving on July 29th. Fun is the name of the game for this punk trio, and “Melted Into Two” perfectly captures their upbeat vibe. The band’s sing-along power pop is driven by earnest vocals and big garage-rock chords in the vein of Ty Segall and Redd Kross. Considering Dune Rats propensity for tongue-in-cheek shenanigans, the video for “Melted Into Two” is actually quite adorable. It follows a real-life couple — Kell and Ellie — who’ve fallen in love.

The Chainsmokers’ New Studio Album ‘So Far So Good’ Is Here: Stream It Now
The Chainsmokers are back with their first new album in three years, So Far So Good. Out today (May 13) via Disruptor Records/Columbia Records, the 13-track album — the duo’s fourth studio LP — follows its already out singles “High,” “iPad” and “Riptide.” It also follows the duo’s 2019 LP, World War Joy. But as The Chainsmokers’ Drew Taggart and Alex Pall recently told Billboard, this new project was made under vastly different circumstances than much of their past work. Whereas the duo often built albums while on the road, releasing one track at a time between tour stops, at the end of 2019 they announced they were going on an extended hiatus to give themselves real time to focus on music.

Kendrick Lamar Addresses Drake and Ye’s Reconciliation on ‘Father Time’: ‘I Was Slightly Confused’

At the stroke of midnight, Lamar dropped his latest studio album Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, the followup to 2017’s Damn. On album track “Father Time,” featuring Sampha, the Los Angles native takes a good hard look at himself and explores the long-ingrained “daddy issues” that’ve both fueled him and held him back.

Just Banco Stands up for the City in Latest Single “Return of the Manc”
Fresh off the back of his 2022-released underground hit “Monica”, Manchester artist Just Banco has come with his latest ‘Trapanese’ instalment, “Return of the Manc”. Produced by Reuel Stop Playing, Banco rides the 808-laden instrumental with ease, giving his swag-infused energies the limelight while still proving that Auto-Tune can be used to create something left field from the other sounds under the same umbrella. While the 0161 rapper keeps his distinct style throughout the track, he introduces a newly-welcomed, choppy flow that gives the go-ahead to be bumped at all of the summer parties coming up this year.
