Last month, singer/producer Mike Posner shared a huge sneak peek of his forthcoming album. Contrasting greatly from his hip-hop influenced college-pop tracks circa his hit-record ‘Cooler Than Me’, Posner has discovered a whole new sound. In an email to fans, Mike wrote “So I’m very hesitant to sound douchey like I’m trying to sell you something….I’m just EXCITED. If you want to stream the Truth for free forever, here’s the link …that’s totally cool with me. BUT, If the music does something for you and you’d like to support me as a patron, you can purchase the TRUTH EP here. I love you guys.” Mike finished the email with a big thank you to his fans,
“Thank you so much for allowing me to not get a real job and focus on making this art for you. Again, these are four songs from the upcoming album.”

The man that brought polos and backpacks to rap, who made shutter shades huge (before college kids killed their appeal), who reminded Sway “It ain’t Ralph tho”, Kanye West himself, has been named GQ’s Most Stylish Man Alive. Minutes ago, Kanye’s wife Kim Kardashian-West shared the cover for GQ’s “The Most Stylish Men Alive” issue, with Kanye front and center. A man who has been on a non-stop campaign to spread his fashion influence on the world for the past few years and whose shoes re-list on eBay for thousands, was likely an easy choice for GQ. This accolade comes just months after Time named Kanye their “100 Most Influential People” list.
Travis Scott released a new track hours ago, which is for “the real fans” and “the real ragers”. While we love the new record, producer Mike WiLL Made-It must not be a “real fan” as he sent a subliminal tweet aimed Scott’s way. “N*ggas dropping songs trying to sound like @iHipsterLee (Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee)” tweeted Mike. While Mike WiLL didn’t mention Scott directly, the timing and context of the tweet made things pretty obvious. It will be interesting to see if Scott, who has a unique sound of his own, will respond to the ATL producer.
Listen to ‘Antidote’ and check out Mike WiLL Made-It’s tweet below.
On Sunday we wrapped up our amazing experience during our first year at Bonnaroo. The weekend at The Farm was amazing, as music fans saw performances from Raury, Bleachers, Kendrick Lamar, Childish Gambino, Alabama Shakes, Florence + the Machine, and many more! While we already posted a small selection of our favorite photos, to further share our experience with our readers, we will be posting new photo galleries from Bonnaroo until we run out.

Massachusetts-based artist Planetarian recently let go of a new single for an upcoming, unnamed album that is “coming soon”. The song, “Keep On Your Lingerie”, is a poppier, funkier sound for Planetarian that sees him emulating the likes of Pharrell on the thematically female centred single. The song is available for stream and download on Soundcloud below.
Big Sean has released the official music video for his latest album Dark Sky Paradise‘s most emotion record, titled ‘One Man Can Change The World’ with Kanye West and John Legend. The black and white video paints a emotional picture of Big Sean’s childhood, closed with a touching phone conversation between Sean and his late grandmother.
Watch the official music video for ‘One Man Can Change The World’ below.
Rapper Tory Lanez just dropped a new track in anticipation of his forthcoming EP, Cruel Intentions. The new project is a collaboration with the WeDidIt crew and will drop on June 26th, but this record is all Tory. Tory’s new record is titled ‘Karrueche’ and if you couldn’t guess it, it’s dedicated to Chris Brown’s ex of the same name. If the potential drama it may cause isn’t enough reason to peep the track, the song also features production from the talent Noah Breakfast (Chiddy Bang).

Rapper O.T. Genasis has released the first track and single of his forthcoming R&B (Rhythm & Blacks) mixtape. The record features none other than Lil Wayne, and is titled ‘Do It’. Definitely check out the new record, produced by Mr. Hanky, as Weezy F. Baby and O.T. rap and sing over the piano laced instrumental.
Bonnaroo, more than any other festival of its kind, blends the music and comedy world through its bookings of some of biggest names in both areas. Sometimes the acts are 100% musical, as you don’t hear Billy Joel cracking many jokes in the middle of ‘Piano Man’. Sometimes the acts are nothing but comedy. While Jeff Ross has roasted comedians before, you won’t be hearing him drop any mixtapes in the future (at least I don’t think so). Then finally, sometimes the acts are more in the middle of the two worlds. Childish Gambino’s appearance at Bonnaroo was just about the music, but he still has a successful stand up comedy and television career. Ed Helms is best known for his work on “The Office” and the Hangover series, but he was killing it on the banjo Sunday night. Then you have Jack Antonoff, who isn’t as overtly comical as Ed and Gambino, but who is no stranger to comedy in both his personal and professional life. We met with Jack at Bonnaroo, shortly before he rocked the Tennessee crowd with his indie pop act “Bleachers”, to ask the leading guitarist of “fun.” about the comedy and music worlds, new music, and his forthcoming music festival.
