Michelle Zauner’s Crying In H Mart Memoir Is Becoming a Movie
Last week, Michelle Zauner released her third album as Japanese Breakfast, which came a few months after the release of her stunning memoir, Crying in H Mart.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds Share New Song ‘Flying On The Ground’
Another tune from Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds’ upcoming greatest hits album, Back The Way We Came: Vol 1 (2011-2021), has arrived. The former Oasis member is quite proud of the track, sharing on social media that “‘Flying On The Ground’ is literally the best thing I’ve released since the last thing I released.

Kanye West Seen Rocking Nikes Again
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Ignat/Bauer-Griffin / Getty Kanye West’s Yeezy sneaker line are by far adidas’ most sought after and popular silhouettes out on these streets. But could Kanye be lowkey rebelling against the brand that helped propel him to billionaire status? Recently the bipolar artist was spotted out in Los Angeles rocking his new favorite face covering (which is strange enough in itself), but sneakerheads immediately noticed that the adidas representative was rocking a pair of “Terminator” Nike Vandal High’s. Originally released in 2015 via NikeLab, the all-black canvas kicks with the silver swoosh isn’t exactly in grail status but does fetch upwards of $1000 on the resale market as it was a limited release inspired by one-off pair from the classic sci-fi film, Th...

The Weeknd Sweeps 2021 Juno Awards
The Weeknd is the first artist to sweep the awards for artist, album, single and songwriter of the year twice.
