After unveiling scoring the number 1 spot atop Billboard's album charts with October's LYFESTYLE LP, Yeat is coming back for more. "5BRAZY" featuring Quavo was initially only available on the now-sold-out digital deluxe edition of the album, but the overwhelming public reaction to the futuristic track prompted Yeat to move it over to streaming services at last.The three-minute cut indicates the first official collaboration from the rappers, who trade bars over eerie production by Synthetic, sharkboy, UpMadeIt and skipass."Brazy, brazy (Brazy), know you want to talk when you get crazy, crazy / Know you know 'bout me, nothin' but lazy, lazy / Know you want this whip, you get Mercedes (Yeah, we got them guns outside)," Yeat delivers on the chorus.The cut arrives alongside an equally spooky mu...

Fresh off an extensive tour of the US and Canada — and just ahead of an equally lengthy tour of Europe — UK-based octet Kokoroko has released its new Get the Message EP. Made up of four vastly different tracks, Get the Message is a succinct showcase of the band's genre-defying approach and wide variety of musical influences.Lead track "Higher" is an easygoing, horn-driven cut that would be ideal for a blissful highway cruise, while "Sweeter Than" encapsulates its title with Kokoroko's signature warmth and beautiful harmonized vocals. "My Prayer" starts as the project's most easygoing and mellow cut before a soaring, triumphant ending, and "Three Piece Suit," the project's final track and lead single, enlists vocalist Azekel to land atop a bouncing beat, making for a track that's both a cel...

Future has finally dropped off the long-awaited "SOUTH OF FRANCE (REMIX)." Featuring Travis Scott, the fan-favorite MIXTAPE PLUTO cut is the first from the originally 17-track LP to get a remix, and is tacked on at the end of the album.Pluto still handles the first verse, with Scott entering gradually with his otherworldly "oohs" and complementary backing vocals. He hops in on the second verse, spitting "South of France, a movie out in Cannes / Thinkin' 'bout nights in the Mo', I need some more again (Again) / Like Big Moe again, I'm pourin' twin in slow motion (Again)."

Madlib is suing his former manager Eothen “Egon” Alapatt over mismanagement of his record store and their joint venture.The suit, filed on October 31, 2024 on the fourth death anniversary of MF DOOM, accuses Egon of engaging in "rank self-dealing, concealing information from and repeatedly breaching his duties to Madlib," as well as "persistent and pervasive mismanagement" and "abuse of his role" within the two entities and the producer's "professional and business affairs."
