Lil Tjay previews new music with Pop Smoke and Fivio Foreign, which releases this week on his “State Of Emergency” project. This weekend, Lil Tjay attempted to declare himself the King of New York.

Meek Mill & Drake’s "Go Bad" Goes Quintuple Platinum
Meek Mill and Drake’s reconciliatory anthem “Go Bad” continues to act as a sales juggernaut. When Meek Mill dropped off Championships in November of 2018, one of the immediate standouts was “Go Bad.” For one, the track marked his first collaboration with Drake since a lengthy and admittedly ugly beef, one that many felt did not exactly end in Meek’s favor. Yet by the time the project came around, Meek had once again solidified himself as a man of the people, who had unified behind him following his unjust incarceration. As such, “Go Bad” felt all the more triumphant, a transformative record...

If DMX was to participate in a “Verzuz” battle, he would choose to go against the GOAT.

"Black Mirror" Creator Explains Why Season 6 Hasn’t Started
“Black Mirror” creator Charlie Brooker has put his beloved series on the backburner, citing the global state of affairs. Sometimes, art can imitate life a little too closely — and it would appear that Black Mirror has reached that point for series creator Charlie Brooker. Though sometimes television can be an escape from life’s little miseries — or large ones, as appear to be the 2020 norm — Brooker recently opened up about Black Mirror’s notoriously depressing tone and the impact it has since gone on to have on his creative process.
