Peso Pluma Teams With Tito Double P For The Dramatic ‘Intro’ And A Cinematic Video
Peso Pluma and Tito Double P are regular collaborators at this point (they are cousins, after all) and they've linked up once again on a new one shared today (November 20), "Intro." They went hard for the video, tapping Mexican actress Kate del Castillo to star. In a spoken-word introduction, she talks about duality and the prosperity that comes when opposing forces cooperate. The music itself is equally cinematic and a return to Pluma's música Mexicana roots. In a recent chat with mitú, Tito Double P said of collaborating with artists like Pluma, "When we support one another and create…
Nas And DJ Premier’s Long-Awaited Collab Album Finally Has A Release Date
For the past few months, Mass Appeal Records has been releasing a series of albums from New York rap greats under its Legend Has It... banner, including projects from Big L, De La Soul, Ghostface Killah, Mobb Deep, Raekwon, and Slick Rick. There's even been a comic book from Marvel Comics (it's...fun). However, the crown jewel of this initiative was the long-awaited collaboration album from Nas and DJ Premier, which the two have reportedly been working on for the better part of the past twenty years. Now, we have a release date, at long last. Playing a show Wednesday night…
Jessie Murph Unveils The Emotional And Risqué ‘Sex Hysteria The End’ Short Film
Jessie Murph recently dropped the deluxe edition of her album Sex Hysteria, and press materials noted the expanded project would be accompanied by a short film that "will serve as an extension of the creative world Jessie has built around Sex Hysteria and her '1965' music video." At last, the visual has arrived. Today (November 20), Murph released Sex Hysteria The End (watch the age-restricted video here; there's nudity). The ten-minute film focuses on the parallel narratives of Jessie and a young fan named Charlotte and is scored by the eight new songs from the deluxe album. A press release…
The Kid Laroi Announces ‘Before I Forget,’ A New Album He Made After Scrapping A Completed Project
Earlier this month, The Kid Laroi performed the halftime show at an NFL game in Germany. His set included an unreleased song called "A Perfect World," which seemed to hint at some big news to come. That news is here: Today (November 20), Laroi announced a new album, Before I Forget. He also officially shared the song, which has a throwback pop/R&B sound. In an Instagram post announcing the project, Laroi wrote: "I made this album in the last 4 months. I had a whole other album that was completed but I scrapped it. started again from scratch with the…

Charli XCX’s Movie ‘The Moment’ Gets A Release Date And A Reality-Blurring Teaser Trailer
Charli XCX recently said that she didn't want to make a Brat tour documentary. Now, though, we have a new teaser trailer for her film The Moment and it does sort of look like one. (Be aware that the video has a lot of flashing lights.) The teaser includes plenty of real-world footage, of moments like Charli performing on stage and sitting down for an interview on The Late Show. But, there are scripted bits as well, positioning the movie as blurring the line between reality and fiction. The movie's logline reads, "A rising pop star navigates the complexities of…
BigXthaPlug And Luke Combs Deliver A Fiery Performance Of ‘Pray Hard’ At The 2025 CMA Awards
The performers for the 2025 CMA Awards were announced earlier this month and one of the most exciting inclusions was BigXthaPlug and Luke Combs, performing their collaboration "Pray Hard." Well, the show went down last night (November 19) at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena (it's streaming on Hulu now), and so did their big performance (here's a clip). The two rapped and sang in front of a fiery backdrop, with BigXthaPlug's bars having the country stars in the audience bobbing their heads. In a recent interview with will.i.am for Uproxx's Visionaries series, BigXthaPlug spoke about getting into country music, saying: "When I…
Liam Gallagher Admits His Hints At More Oasis Shows In 2026 Were Premature
No Oasis tour dates have been announced for 2026, but Liam Gallagher has indicated on multiple occasions that this will happen. Now, though, he's less committal about that. Amid fan discussions on X of Oasis' tour nearing its end, one fan asked, "liam just reply with one word is there gonna be a 2026 tour." Gallagher responded simply, "NO." Somebody else wrote, "ARE YOU F*CKING SERIOUS" and Gallagher replied, "YES IM F*CKING SERIOUS." A different user brought up Gallagher saying "see you next year" and he tweeted in response: "You will see me next year and the year after and…
Sabrina Carpenter’s ‘Alice In Wonderland’ Movie Is Only ‘Based Loosely’ On The Original Story
It was announced last week that Sabrina Carpenter is producing and starring in a movie musical based on Alice In Wonderland. Marc Platt, a producer of the recent Wicked movies, is on board here, while Lorene Scafaria is writing and directing. Now, thanks to Platt, we know a little more about the project. In an interview with Variety's Marc Malkin, Platt said: "It's an idea that Sabrina's had, and so we're just in the beginning stages. But it's a contemporary story with an allegory to and based loosely on Alice In Wonderland. [...] We sat down and we talked about…
Lil Baby Has Some ‘Real Sh*t’ To Discuss In His Latest ‘WHAM Wednesdays’ Video
Lil Baby has been releasing new tracks every week recently under the auspices of his "WHAM Wednesdays" campaign (named after his January album). Beginning with "All On Me" featuring G Herbo three weeks ago, and continuing with "Plenty" featuring YTB Fatt and YFN Lucci, "Try To Love," and "Otha Boy," the releases have fulfilled the Atlanta rapper's promise to drop a "Song & Video Every Wednesday For The Rest Of The Year," the tradition continues with "Real Sh*t." Produced by4 3Juice and SouliMadeIt, "Real Sh*t" is a cascading stream of consciousness freestyle from Baby, all in one verse, with no…
Labrinth Survives An ‘Implosion,’ In The Latest Single From His Upcoming Album, ‘Cosmic Opera: Act 1’
Labrinth's fourth studio album, Cosmic Opera: Act I, arrives January 30 via Columbia Records, and today, the production powerhouse shares the latest single, "Implosion." Like its predecessors, "S.W.M.F." and "Orchestra," "Implosion" finds Labrinth blending symphonic sensibilities with electronic impulses for a boisterous, bold blend of both spacey trap and dubstep with the operatic foundations implied by the album's title. It isn't like he didn't warn us this was coming; in September, he dropped an eight-song EP titled Prelude, and as we all know, the term refers to a short piece of music that often serves as an introduction to a…
The War On Drugs Are Bringing Back Their ‘Drugcember To Remember’ Holiday Shows After Two Years Away
In 2018, The War On Drugs hosted the first edition of A Drugcember To Remember, a series of benefit shows to help The Fund For The School District Of Philadelphia, a nonprofit that boosts Philly public schools. The band hasn't done it the past two years, though, but in 2025, they're coming back: Today (November 19), they've announced the event's return. The shows are set for December 18, 19, and 20 at Johnny Brenda’s in Philadelphia. Tickets will be available starting November 21 at 10 a.m ET, via the band's website.

Atmosphere Tag-Teams A Classic Rap ‘Sound Check’ Challenge With MF DOOM, Clipse, JID, And More
You would think it would be much harder to agree on a "lifetime anthem" as a group, but nope -- Earthgang, The LOX, and now, Atmosphere, our latest Sound Check guests, all claim it's pretty easy. "Easier than I thought it'd be," Slug tells our host, Jeremy Hecht. Of course, that doesn't make things any easier for Jeremy himself, who has to figure out what that song might be with our production team trying to trick him. To help him hash things out this time around, Jeremy comes armed with seven rounds of classic tracks to pair off, including Kool…
Summer Walker Releases Not Just One, But Two Deluxe Editions Of ‘Finally Over It’
Summer Walker is going all-out with her new album. Just days after releasing Finally Over It, her third studio album and the completion of a trilogy she started with Over It and continued with Still Over It, she's released not just one, but two deluxe editions of the new album -- which was already a double album, to begin with. Cocktail Hour includes "Session 32," "Session 34," and a slew of Apple Music-exclusive content, including a video of her recording fan favorite “Go Girl.” Meanwhile, The After Party makes a pair of songs available on streaming that were previously only…
Camp Flog Gnaw Adds Kali Uchis, Blood Orange, And Geese To Its Lineup After Postponing For Weather
Last weekend, Tyler, The Creator's Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival was postponed due to dangerous weather conditions in Los Angeles. This week, the sun is shining, and there's nary a cloud in the sky; perfect conditions for the rescheduled festival to continue as planned. The bad news is, Clairo, Don Toliver, Men I Trust, Sombr, Tems, and The Alchemist were forced to forego their scheduled sets. However, there's some good news too: their replacements are Flog Gnaw favorites, including Blood Orange, Fakemink, Geese, and Kali Uchis. Tickets are also back on sale for the rescheduled event after initially selling out. The…
Allison And Katie Crutchfield Give Their First (And Perhaps Last) Late-Night TV Performance As Snocaps
Earlier this month, sisters Allison and Katie Crutchfield (the latter better known as Waxahatchee) formed a new band, Snocaps, and released a surprise self-titled debut album. (MJ Lenderman and Brad Cook also perform on the album.) With the release, though, came the note that after some upcoming concerts, the siblings will "put the project on ice for the foreseeable future." So, on The Tonight Show yesterday (November 18), the band gave their first late-night TV performance, which could very well also be their last. For their time on the air, they went with "Coast." This was their first time playing…
Zach Bryan Discusses His Newfound Sobriety In A Vulnerable Post About His Mental Health
Zach Bryan has never been afraid to say what's on his mind. What he's been thinking about lately is some heavy stuff. Specifically, Bryan has confronted his relationship with fame, anxiety, and alcohol. In an Instagram post shared last night (November 18), Bryan wrote in the caption, "In no way is this a greater than thou sentiment and I’m aware I am one of the luckiest men alive. I pray people don’t take this as me taking my blessings for granted. I wanted to share this because I feel like a lot of people go through mental struggles at times…
Which Albums Will Critics Choose As 2025’s Best? Let’s Make Some Educated Guesses
This time of year, I don't have to look at the calendar to know what time it is. I can already feel it in my bones. The urge to eat pumpkin pie and start making my year-end albums list tells me all I need to know. I have been doing both things for most of my life. I'm not sure if either is good for me, and yet I persist. When it comes to the second thing, I also start thinking about what other music critics are going to put on their lists. And then I go into prognostication mode…
My Chemical Romance Are Already Planning For Next Halloween With Special Hollywood Bowl Shows
A couple months ago, My Chemical Romance announced a huge run of shows for 2026, continuing their The Black Parade tour. That wasn't quite all they had in store, though, as today (November 18), they've added two special shows to the run. They're both at the Hollywood Bowl, making it five straight performances there, which makes MCR the first band to perform five shows there. The concerts go down on Halloween and the day before.

Kevin Parker Admits Dance Music Was ‘A Guilty Pleasure For So Long’ Before His New Tame Impala Album
Kevin Parker has made some tweaks to the aesthetic of his Tame Impala music over the years, but Deadbeat is one of his pivots yet, as the project is more heavily indebted to dance music than anything he had done before. This had been a long time coming, as for years, dance music was a "guilty pleasure" for him, he revealed. In a new interview with Russh, Parker said: "It's always been a love of mine, even before it was obvious, even before it was imaginable that I could make that kind of music. It was a guilty pleasure for…
Waxahatchee And MJ Lenderman Are Hitting The Road Together For A Joint Tour
Waxahatchee (Katie Crutchfield) and MJ Lenderman are clearly buds. Lenderman featured on Waxa's 2024 song "Right Back To It," and he also performed on the new album from Snocaps, the duo of Crutchfield and sister Allison Crutchfield. The pair are continuing their friendship, and professional relationship, next year: Today (November 17), they announced a joint tour for 2026. On the 18-date run, the two will perform solo as well as together. The run kicks off in Atlanta in April and from there, will run through to early May.

Charli XCX Continues The ‘Wuthering Heights’ Rollout With A Surreal New ‘Chains Of Love’ Video
Charli XCX is contributing some songs to the Wuthering Heights movie, which we've known for a little while now. Last week, though, she revealed that she's actually doing an entire album. Part of the project is last week's "Chains Of Love," which fans excitedly compared to the True Romance era. Now there's a video, in which Charli finds herself laying on a long table in the middle of a ballroom. As she sings and dances, some surreal elements start to take over, which shift physics and reality. Charli recently wrote of her experience making music for the movie: "In early…
FKA Twigs Delivers Striking Choreography In Her Black-And-White ‘Hard’ Video
FKA Twigs always brings it with her videos, which are frequently high-concept and/or have some incredible choreography. She has a new one out now, for "Hard," and once again, she doesn't disappoint. The black-and-white clip starts with Trigs singing to the camera before she starts dancing around her desert environment. She's later joined by other dancers, creating a menagerie of beautifully moving bodies. Lyrically, Twigs starts the sexually charged song, "Wet thighs, I'm ecstatic, chemistry was automatic / Don’t touch, there's no rush / I gotta know something about you / Just tell me, would you do it hard?" Twigs…
