And today fans in Delaware can be that much more excited as Firefly has released its 2016 lineup.

In the past month, Milwaukee’s WebsterX has been dropping local hints around the city, before the reveal of his big announcement with fellow New Age Narcissism member, Q the Sun. After his #whoiskidx art campaign, WebsterX announced that he and Q the Sun were releasing a new 3-track EP, titled KidX, inspired by Radiohead’s 2000 album KidA. While some fans got to hear the project early this past weekend at the “KidX Listening Disco”, today marks the official release of the project, as well as it’s debut on Noisey. This is the first project that WebsterX has attached his name to since his notoriety has consistently risen through his ‘doomsday’ and ‘Latley’ visuals, as well as his big collaboration with the Kanye West-affiliated, Allan Kingdom.

We were more than excited last month when rapper Dirt Nasty (Simon Rex) and Mickey Avalon squashed their beef after the break-up of the Dyslexic Speedreaders, known best for their hilarious record ‘My Dick’. The two put out a very topical track, titled ‘Netflix and Chill’, but no one knew if that would be the last we hear from the two together. Luckily it was not, as Dirt Nasty took to his Instagram today to announce a huge 28-date tour with Avalon, as well a new free album that’s coming out in just a few days!

Kicking off the “Married to the Game” tour next year on January 13th, and hitting a number of stops throughout the U.S. until the tour concludes in San Antonio, Dirt and Avalon will be making stops in Chicago, Milwaukee, the East Coast, West Coast, and probably a city near you. Hit the link at Dirt’s official website to get your tickets now!

Singer Alessia Cara is our favorite emerging artist right now, and our next favorite is not even close. Earlier this year we interviewed the Canada native, and in only a few month’s time her single ‘Here’ has sky rocketed up the charts and she released her debut project Four Pink Walls and her debut album Know-It-All, two of our favorite projects of 2015. An LP and EP later, fans could not wait for their first chance to see Alessia on her own tour and now they finally have the chance as Alessia will be kicking off a North American headlining tour in 2016.

Supported by the talented Kevin Garrett for the tour’s U.S. dates, Alessia will be kicking off her tour in her Montreal on January 15th, will hit a number of stops throughout the United States, and then ends her tour back in Canada on April 1st. Pre-sale for the tour begins this Wednesday (11/18) and you can check out Alessia’s website for more info!

During A$AP Rocky’s headlining set last night, the At. Long. Last. ASAP rapper brought out Lil B the Based God for a very rare and based surprise performance. #TYBG

Earlier this week, Vic Mensa took to social media to tease a forthcoming collaboration with producer Young Chop, known most for his production on Chief Keef’s Chi-town banger ‘I Don’t Like’, which was later remixed by Kanye West and played a huge role in shaping Chicago’s drill sound. Now today we have the Chicago collab, as Chop recruited Vic and King100James for his ‘Around My Way’ track from his new Finally Rich Too project, which released a few hours ago via iTunes and Soundcloud. 

“I don’t where ya’ll from, I’m right here. From them South Side of Chicago streets turn dreams to a nightmare,” raps Mensa on ‘Around My Way’.

Stream ‘Around My Way’ below and download Finally Rich Too now on iTunes.

Next year, in support of his forthcoming album Purpose (which releases in just a couple days), singer Justin Bieber will be heading on a massive 58-date North American tour. Similarly titled, the Purpose Tour, Bugatti Biebs will kick off the tour March 9th in Seattle and the tour will run well into July as he will end things on the east coast at New York’s historic Madison Square Garden. Pretty much, if you don’t live in the middle of nowhere, there is a good chance that Justin is coming to a city near you!

Bieber is no stranger to controversy as of late, but there is no better way of saying ‘Sorry’ than a huge live tour. American Express card holders will be able to purchase advance tickets for the U.S. shows starting November 16th-19th. General ticket sales for all shows will begin Friday, November 20th at 10 a.m. local time at AEGLive.com.

Country Music Star Jason Aldean Unapologetically Wears Black Face for Halloween Costume

1 Comment

BY TER STAFF

After a photo of a man wearing black face, purportedly country music star Jason Aldean, went viral, a rep for Aldean has now confirmed that the man is in fact Aldean. In the photo Jason Aldean is dressed up as rapper Lil Wayne, and to complement his costume he wore fake dreadlocks and black face. It is one thing to wear black face, but so far, Aldean has issued no apology for his highly racist and offensive costume.

A representative was able to confirm the photo’s authenticity on behalf of Aldean, but Aldean himself (or through his representatives) chose not to issue an apology. It is uncertain whether an apology will later follow, as the backlash will certainly build up, but it will likely be too little, too late. In no circumstances is wearing black face acceptable, Halloween or not, and let’s only hope that the country music star’s career will soon pay the consequences for his October 31st racism.
