Today we have the next track and self-directed video from G.O.O.D. Music’s newest signee, HXLT. Kanye’s newest artist, formerly under the name Hollywood Holt, has left us all wondering what his new sound would be like, and he gave us a great sample of that earlier this year with his ‘Live To Death’ record. This time around we have ‘Guitar’, a track centered around HXLT’s guitar playing aspirations. Whether he can play the guitar, the flute, the drums, the triangle or whatever, it doesn’t matter because Holt has one hell of a voice that continues to surprise us!

Watch the official music video for ‘Guitar’ below.

Is New Frank Ocean Music Finally On the Way?

It seems as though the wait for new Frank Ocean music may finally be over.

Twitter user @Swxnky recently tweeted that he had a clip of the rumoured new Frank Ocean tune ‘White Ferarri’ that Montréal DJ and producer A-Trak had hinted towards earlier this month, but nothing really seperated him from any other Twitter-troll–that is, before he posted a snippet of the song itself.

The snippet in question can be found here, and is extremely short, but sounds identical to Frank Ocean. User Swxnky then went on to disclose more details about the alleged magazine, tease the ‘Nikes’ video reported on earlier this year, and then go on to say that Frank would be putting out an album within the next two weeks. Swxnky also went on to post a video of someone speaking in frame that sounds EXACTLY like Frank Ocean. @Swxnky is either the real deal, or an extremely talented, heartless troll. Screenshots of the tweets are below.

What do you think? Is this yet another L for Frank fans, or is the world finally about to be blessed with new music? Let us know @TheEarlyReg on Twitter!

What if you could pay $2 dollars to get a private 30-second performance from Ed Sheeran, would you? Of course, right!? Apparently it’s not so obvious though, as fans in Melbourne, Australia were given the opportunity for a “Ed Sheeran peep show”. It’s not as dirty as it sounds, though. Instead of stripping down, Ed stripped down in a different way with Australian comedians Hamish & Andy, playing in a small room with just his guitar for the brave souls who decided to make the best investment they ever could.

After a couple hours, finally a curious couple decided to take the risk. In return they got to hear Ed Sheeran’s Grammy nominated song of the year, ‘Thinking Out Loud’ front and center. Watch Ed Sheeran’s $2 peep shows below!

Pusha T Wants to Make a G.O.O.D. Music Festival

Whenever a president steps foot into office, it always comes with a bunch of empty promises to get our hopes up, which only leaves us more disappointed in the end. Let’s hope the same isn’t true when that rule is applied to Kanye West founded music labels though, as rapper Pusha T, the new president of Kanye West’s G.O.O.D. Music, shared some huge aspirations on Apple‘s Beats 1 Radio today.

When talking about the direction he wants to take for G.O.O.D. Music, Push told Zane Lowe that he wants to make a G.O.O.D. Music festival. While this wouldn’t be the first of it’s kind, as we already have Drake’s OVO Fest and Tyler the Creator’s Camp FLOG GNAW, this one would surely be epic. Imagine Kanye West, Big Sean, Travis Scott, Pusha T, Kacy Hill and all their friends?!? The festival has the potential to be legendary.

Pusha T didn’t only talk about his music festival hopes though, he also teased fans about Kanye’s forthcoming and highly anticipated album Swish. “Kanye called me the other day and was very excited to tell me about his music,” said Pusha T on Beats 1 Radio. “I can’t say when it comes out but fans are in for a treat.” Let’s hope that means it’s coming real soon!
