Young Thug Teases ‘Slime Season 4’ With Bloody Album Art
A little over six months after dropping his second studio album Punk, Young Thug may be returning with yet another new project. The Atlanta rapper took to social media to share an image of a new album cover, complete with an explicit content warning. Set against a stark white background, the cover art shows Young Thug with his eyes closed and covered in blood. “These past few weeks gave me so much to talk bout. Y’all ready?” he wrote in the caption. What got fans’ attention was the artwork’s similarities to the cover art of the other LPs in the Slime Season mixtape series, suggesting that this new release will be Slime Season 4. The original Slime Season dropped in 2015, followed by its sequel just one month later. Slime Season 3 arrived the year after, in 2016. All three of the mixtapes h...
A Spitfire, Skateboarding Rapper From Atlanta: This Is Mercury
By Arielle Lana LeJarde The experience of coming of age is often captured in art and popular culture. Tales of teen heartbreak, unpredictable change, and finding yourself attempt to mine our collective pangs of adolescence or feelings of nostalgia. But in 21-year-old Mercury‘s latest project, Tabula Rasa, the Atlanta-based rapper doesn’t need to try. The album strikes on a visceral level, each song expressing the elastic emotions of growing up. Antithetical to its Latin translation of “blank slate,” Tabula Rasa isn’t meant to serve as a new beginning for Mercury. At the top of 2021, “Slob on My Kat,” Mercury’s raunchy and booty-bouncing response to Tear da Club Up Thugs and Three 6 Mafia’s “Slob on My Knob,” was named Pitchfork’s must-hear rap song of the day. Eight months later...
Editors Add Blanck Mass to Lineup, Release New Single “Heart Attack”: Stream
Editors have promoted longtime collaborator Blanck Mass, aka English electronic producer Benjamin John Power, to a full-time band member and ushered in a new era with their first single in three years, “Heart Attack.” Guitarist and lead vocalist Tom Smith describes their latest offering as “a song of obsession, about losing yourself in someone; a love song, a morbid love song.” Though the subject is dour, there’s no denying the passion behind it as Smith unleashes the blistering refrain of “No one will love you more than I do/ I can promise you that.” The cinematic production’s collage of guitar syncopations, sweeping synths, and propulsive drums form a sheen around the band’s sharp-edged sound, and yet it doesn’t come across as an attempt at dulling it but rather a method to see the barbs...
Without Randy Blythe, Lamb of God Perform with Singers of Chimaira, Trivium, and In Flames: Watch
As reported yesterday, Randy Blythe tested positive for COVID-19, leading Lamb of God to announce that Chimaira singer Mark Hunter and a “few friends” would handle vocals for the band at Tuesday night’s show in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Last night saw Lamb of God play an abbreviated 10-song set (they had been playing 12 songs with Blythe), with Hunter handling vocals on seven of the tunes, including newer tracks like “Memento Mori” and classics li...
