This week’s TIDAL Wave playlist features new music from Tory Lanez, Young Thug, Famous Dex, Sheff G, and more. The only thing saving us right now is music, as well as all of the hard-working essential workers on the frontline. If it weren’t for music though, our self-quarantine journey would likely be a lot less entertaining. Thankfully, home studios are a thing and artists are still able to blast off some tunes for our eardrums to allete boredom. During the fourth week of quarantine, we’ve got an action-packed playlist for you, including some brand new bangers from the likes...

Benzino strikes back at Karlie Redd as the case of the aired-out DMs thickens, a mystery fit for a pandemic. If the DMs aren’t sacred, what else does this doomed society have?

Or at least, such is the narrative Redd would have us believe, having taken to Instagram to expose Benzino’s attempts at rekindling a once lively connection.

Pastor Tony Spell would prefer his churchgoers attend his services in person and risk dying of coronavirus than sacrifice their freedom to “tyranny.” Pastor Tony Spell is not on board with social distancing in an effort to curb the coronavirus pandemic, instead insisting his churchgoers risk contracting coronavirus in order to live freely and without fear. The leader of the Life Tabernacle Church in Baton Rouge has been actively defying Louisiana’s shelter-in-place order by keeping his church open for congregation and exposing tons of parishioners to the virus. Over 1,000 members attended his Palm Sunday service, and he’s even since...

Twelve years removed from its initial release, Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop” remains an artistic turning point for the legendary Cash Money rapper. There isn’t a self-respecting rap fan out there who doesn’t hold Lil Wayne in high esteem. Not only is the man widely considered to be one of the deadliest lyricists on a competitive basis, threatening to decapitate even his own signees on wax, but also one of the most stylistically versatile. Though his forays into different genres have not always seen glowing reception — 2010’s Rebirth remains an interesting sidestep into the murky waters of rap-rock— his bold...

The Weeknd confessed that he got “angry” the first time he heard Usher’s “Climax” in 2012 because he thought it sounded like “a Weeknd song.” The Weeknd is well aware of the impact he had on pop and R&B music with his debut mixtape, House of Balloons, but he wasn’t always happy about it.

Although his sound has evolved a fair amount since he catapulted onto the scene in 2011 with House of Balloons, The Weeknd’s initial debut was...
2 Chainz is ready to tell the world how he really feels about his verse on “Mercy” with Kanye West, Big Sean, and Pusha-T. “Mercy” featured star-making appearances from all of the artists involved. Without it, we would never have heard so many clever ass analogies from Big Sean. Some of Pusha-T’s craziest flows wouldn’t exist. Kanye West wouldn’t have delivered bars about rapper’s taste levels not even being at his waist level. Last, but certainly not least, 2 Chainz wouldn’t have recorded one of his best verses ever. “Okay, now catch up to my campaign/Coupe the color of...
