On this track, Cole raps from the perspectives of Biggie and Tupac and imagines a timeline where they apologize to each other and mend their brotherhood through cute Nicholas Sparks letters before things get tragic. It’s skillful rapping:…

They join a quorum, including Ludacris, Morgan Wade, and Carter Faith, who have decided to drop out of the touring festival, which Kid Rock, a key investor in the event, is headlining. “We know this decision will create differences of opinion,” the band said. “But we do not want to participate in something we believe will create further division.”…

vote5.0 Bands: HOAXED Duration: 00:31:12 Available from: 02/13/2026 Label: Relapse Records Streaming not yet available Hoaxed are a trio from Portland who, after debuting in 2022 with a first full-length, entitled “Two Shadows”, today return to the scene with “Death Knocks”, with a partially renewed lineup, thanks to the entry of a new bassist, and a style which, at least in the intentions of the girls, should wink at those lineups capable of combining melody and immediacy, with darker and more malignant atmospheres, such as Unto Others, the latest Tribulation or Tobias Forge's own Ghosts. Those who listen to metal…

The cold-weather competitions occur every four years, but 2026 marks the first time in eight years since the Winter Olympics have had in-person spectators.

Athletes train their entire lives for these games; but no matter how much they…

Under the Superdome lights in New Orleans, I'm living out a dream 40 years in the making. As a kid, aloft on my father's shoulders, I saw Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band when they were the biggest band in the universe. Now, I'm the one playing guitar in a stadium for the first time with full production — thousands of people, cameras, lights — ready to hit the opening chord of “Born to Run.” Then, my D string snaps.My spare set is at the hotel. There's no time for a fix. The click track in my headphones counts…
