Dance music powerhouse Alok has started his own philanthropic endeavor, which will focus on supporting the vulnerable populations within his home country of Brazil.

This 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T Was Rescued from a Rusty Fate
There were no shortage of history-making events in 1971. The Apollo 14 astronauts landed on the moon, the war in Vietnam continued to rage on, Intel released the world’s first microprocessor, and Dirty Harry made his big screen debut. But none of it mattered all that much to Frank Kassel at the time. His attention was focused squarely on one thing: scoring his very first set of wheels, which turned out to be a 1967 Dodge Coronet R/T. “In the summer of ’71 I had just graduated high school,” Frank remembers, “and was working full time as a mechanic in a Cities Service gas station. My goal was to save enough money to buy my first car.” After working at the service station for a few months, Frank met a friend of his boss who happened to be a dealer of used, ...
Flaming Lips Share Video for ‘A Change at Christmas (Say It Isn’t So)’
Talk about a belated holiday gift. The Flaming Lips released a new video for “A Change at Christmas (Say It Isn’t So)” on Tuesday, a mere 17 years after the song was first released on the band’s Ego Tripping at the Gates of Hell. Directed by Wayne Coyne, the singer can be seen as a Santa Grinch (just watch and you’ll get it) with his toddler son as he’s flanked by the bandmembers. Check it out below. [embedded content] It’s been a strange year for the Lips. The group released American Head, their lauded new album, in September and landed on our list of the best albums of 2020.

Ja Rule Says 50 Cent Doesn’t Want “The Smoke” In A Verzuz
Source: Noam Galai / Getty While Gucci Mane and Jeezy were able to put their very serious personal beef behind them for the sake of the culture and give everyone one of the most memorable Verzuz battles of 2020, don’t expect mortal enemies 50 Cent and Ja Rule to do the same anytime soon. While fans have been clamoring and day dreaming of a face-to-face battle between the two rappers from Queens, Ja Rule and Fiddy have admitted they don’t have much interest in participating in one with 50 saying he’d rather battle Snoop. Now that it’s become clear that 50 and Ja won’t be squashing their beef anytime soon (even Fat Joe attempted to bring the two together to no avail), Ja’s decided to continue his decades old war of words with the former G-Unit general. Speaking to HipHopDX about the proposed...
