Madlib is back with a new single, “Reekyod,” which features The Roots’ Black Thought and Your Old Droog. The song marks Madlib’s debut release on his own label, Madlib Invazion. Stream it below.
“Reekyod” is Madlib’s second collaboration of 2024 with Your Old Droog following last month’s “Dbz,” a Madlib-produced effort that also featured Denzel Curry and Method Man. While “Dbz” offered a smooth sound, “Reekyod” feels more urgent, offering room for the rappers’ respective claims on artistic freedom. “Everything I spit, shine/Imma get mine, regardless,” says Droog.

Trading bars over an expertly-chopped soul sample, each rapper gets off their best punchlines and pop culture references. Droog opens the track by comparing haters to NBA player Dillon Brooks, who cost his team a playoff series against LeBron James due to his antics: “You ain’t no villain, you Dillon Brooks/ Let me guess, you on your Grizzly, tryna diss me/ I’m looking at him like Bron, ‘Dawg, who is he?'”

Sydney – Monday 6 November, 2023. The Sydney Opera House today announced two electrifying contemporary music events over summer with genre-raiding psych-rockers Unknown Mortal Orchestra making their Concert Hall debut on January 30, and alternative R&b star Steve Lacy performing two shows in-the-round on 31 January and 1 February 2024.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra’s (Umo) appearance follows the March release of their definitive fifth album, V – an exquisite collection of songs that evokes the 70s rock and 80s pop of frontman Ruban Nielson’s childhood, while exploring love, loss and his Hawaiian heritage. The album makes a strong case for itself as his sun-bleached masterpiece, earning a 4.5 star review from Uncut and a place on The Guardian’s ‘best albums of 2023 so far’ list.
Umo initially achieved runaway success following the covert release of an anonymously penned track, ‘Ffunny Ffriends’, on Band Camp (2011). They’d go on to release five albums over the next 12 years, each...

Idles have announced their fifth studio album, Tangk. The LP is out February 16th via Partisan Records, and as a preview, they’ve shared “Dancer,” the lead single that features LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy and Nancy Whang on background vocals. Check it out below.
Idles drew from a wide swath of influences in making Tangk. The record was produced by the band’s guitarist Mark Bowen, as well as Radiohead’s go-to boardsman Nigel Godrich and Denzel Curry/Vince Staples collaborator Kenny Beats. A press release describes the project as more love-oriented than the post-punks’ previous efforts, which often dealt in political commentary.
“Tangk,” singer Joe Talbot said in a statement. “I needed love. So I made it. I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love.”

It’s been a while since Ronny J has produced a Denzel Curry track, but the artists have linked up once again for the new song “Woo,” which you can listen to below.
Punctuated by quick-spit bars from the rapper, “Woo” rests on a catchy, tongue-in-cheek delivery from Curry that plays off the song’s title. “I walk in, them bitches go ‘Woo!'” he explains, before warning, in the same tone, “Don’t come around gang, we ain’t cool.”
“The ‘Woo’ session was good considering this is the first session Ronny J and I have done in years,” Curry revealed in a statement. “We brought in Chief Pound, who’s been an essential part of Ult from its conception and having PlayThatBoiZay on the record really shows the unity in Carol City.”

Zakiya Dalila Harris’ novel “The Other Black Girl” has hit the small screen in ten episodes filled with songs that support the story’s underlying message of compromising identity and Blackness in a majority-white workplace. Developed by Harris and Rashida Jones, who contributed the intro montage, to Episode 7 set to Anita Baker’s “Sweet Love,” the series crosses multiple genres from comedy to thriller and provides social commentary on how minority Poc employees compromise and navigate the social system of corporate America.
Set to Sza, TLC, Busta Rhymes, H.E.R., Janelle Monae and more, many scenes in the show become even stronger with the songs in the background. Co-showrunners Gus Hickey and Jordan Reddout left the ending open for a potential second season. The suspense and humor go hand in hand with the soundtrack for “The Other Black Girl.”

Denzel Curry has dropped a scorching new track titled “Sked,” featuring Atlanta rapper Kenny Mason. Stream the accompanying video, directed by Omar Jones, below.
Produced by Charlie Heat, “Sked” features a trunk-rattling beat that pairs well with Curry’s stark description of the paranoia that stems from his upbringing in Carol City, Florida. “I don’t go to sleep without a Glock by my bed,” he raps on the chorus. “I don’t say no names ’cause them boys might be the feds/ I’m about my family, God, business, and my bread.”
Following Curry’s lead, Mason fills his verse with colorful wordplay about guns. “Power Ranger Glock, bullets came in different colors,” he spits. “Bitch, the crib I’m in got more sticks than acupuncture/ Ain’t on safety, press to coverage, who in the fuck he think he pressin’?”

Turns out the clip of “Blood on My Nikez” Denzel Curry shared last week wasn’t complete: today, the rapper has shared the full version of the single, featuring none other than Three 6 Mafia’s Juicy J.
Juicy J jumps into “Blood on My Nikez” like a refined elder statesman. While Curry dons sneakers, J modifies the refrain with the quip, “Let me wipe the blood off my Louis boots.” From there, the horrorcore icon examines the modern rap game, spitting, “2023 and you know these n***** don’t scrap no more/ I keep it 19 like I’m Leonardo DiCaprio.”
“Blood on My Nikez” marks Curry’s first solo single of 2023. Earlier this year, he made an appearance on Armani White’s “Goated,” while his last proper album was 2022’s Melt My Eyez See Your Future. Meanwhile, Juicy J last contributed to the 2021 F9: The Fast Saga soundtrack after dropping The...

Denzel Curry is back with the new single “Blood on My Nikez,” his first track of 2023.
With production handled by Mathaius Young, Dilip, Otxhello, and Ambezza, “Blood on My Nikez” marks a return to Curry’s darker side. Over an ominous instrumental, he raps about his rise to greatness — even if there were some casualties along the way. But he’s learned to keep his brutal tendencies under wraps: “Leave a trail full of dead crooks/ Opposite of snakes, you’re the type to make the feds look,” he raps, cleaning the “blood off my Nikes” to hide the evidence.
The single arrives with an equally eerie music video to match, directed by Omar Jones. Watch it and stream the song below.

Denzel Curry is the latest artist to participate in Spotify’s Live at Electric Lady series. The rapper visited the eponymous studio to record a seven-song set comprising tracks from his recent album Melt My Eyez See Your Future, throwing in a cover of the 2000 Erykah Badu song “Didn’t Cha Know.”
It’s not often we hear Curry sing, but his vocals do “Didn’t Cha Know” justice, and the cover even features a guest appearance from a Badu collaborator, the R&b singer Bilal. The EP’s opening track is another cover, this one a rendition of Shogun’s “Lonely Man” (from the Japanese TV series Detective Story).
Elsewhere on the EP is a previously-unreleased track called “Endtroduction” that layers Curry’s distinctive, playfully-aggressive flow over a bold jazzy instrumental. The final four tracks are cuts from Melt My Eyez See Your Future: “Walkin’,” “Troubles,” “Angels,” and “X-Wing.

White opens the bouncy track with a reference to the song’s title before joking about getting flashier jewelry: “I tell ’em, ‘Send a watch that I could fit both wrists in.'” On his verse, Ferg follows up by rapping, “Walk around like I’m Nigo with the diamonds in the clock/ Moonwalkin’ on these hoes, I got diamonds in my socks.”

I’m starting to get a bit worried for Eric André’s health. We’re huddled together at a bar in Austin, Texas, during SXSW, where the gonzo comedian typically holds court, and he’s sucked in about a half-dozen whip-its thus far, laughing maniacally and locking eyes with me each time his big, blue balloon fills with nitrous oxide. It feels like a test of my equanimity; like I’m one of the guests on his hilariously demented Adult Swim series The Eric André Show that he delights in startling.

Westside Boogie is objectively cool. Before you even consider the unmistakable voice or the slow beats-driven songs, the Compton-born rapper is the rare case of someone who completely turned his life around after once being part of a gang.

Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” is now streaming on HBO Max, complete with a star-studded cast, glittery and glamorous sets and a flamboyant soundtrack to match. Austin Butler, who stars as the King of Rock and Roll, sang quite a few Elvis songs himself (mixed with the vocals of The King himself).
But as is customary with a Baz Luhrmann film, the songs in “Elvis” aren’t exactly straightforward. The soundtrack features a number of contemporary artists incorporating various Elvis songs into new work, such as like Swae Lee and Dilpo sampling “That’s All Right” for their new song “Tupelo Shuffle” and CeeLo Green and Eminem using the opening of “Jailhouse Rock” in their “The King and I.” Kacey Musgraves lays her velvety voice over “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” and Stevie Nicks and Chris Isaak sing “Cotton Candy Land.” Still other artists like Doja Cat came up with songs like “Vegas,...

Over the last decade, fans have witnessed Florida rapper Denzel Curry grow up, from his early days as a member of SpaceGhostPurrp’s loud and boisterous Raider Klan to his most recent solo LP, Melt My Eyez See Your Future. The new album incorporates dizzying jazz elements, with features from features from Robert Glasper, Karriem Riggins, Saul Williams, and Thundercat — making it a striking departure from albums like 2018’s Ta13oo and 2019’s Zuu.

Flatbush Zombies’ Meechy Darko has teamed up with Freddie Gibbs and DJ/producer A-Trak for a new song, “On God,” off his upcoming solo debut, Gothic Luxury.
Produced by Jay Versace and Dot Da Genius, “On God” begins with a grandiose flourish but settles into a groove that’s still propulsive, but also subtle and unsettling in its own ways. Meechy Darko and Freddie Gibbs trade sprawling, heavy, and brutally honest verses on the five-minute track, while A-Trak arrives at the end to show off his signature scratching skills.

Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis” is far from being just about Elvis, when it comes to the music in the film and on a forthcoming soundtrack album. Besides the vintage Presley cuts included, the movie is providing the opportunity for the most high-profile multi-artist soundtrack in years. The lineup of participating artists was announced in May — without any song titles attached — and a handful of singles has been released, by Eminem, Måneskin and Doja Cat. But not until the film began screening more widely, in advance of its June 17 wide release, did it become fully apparent who was singing what and just how some of the more unusual choices would fit into the biopic.
Here’s a guide to the most notable newly recorded tracks and how they’re used in the film — followed by a guide to which songs are Elvis originals and which are sung by Austin Butler or,...

Where to Watch “Watch the Sound”: Apple TV+
Most music docs are, by their nature, lodged in the past. If people aren’t being shown a moment gone by, they’re talking about it or disputing it or presenting an alternative version. So when “Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson” takes the opportunity to use the past as a bridge to creating something new in the present, you can feel the overall temperature of the project change. With Ronson as the on-screen captain through specific topics in music history, this Apple TV+ show doesn’t always live in that present. But when it does, it’s enough to make you wish there were a dozen more shows trying the same thing.
