For a decade, Lil Pete has been holding down the Bay Area with sensitive, post-Jacka mood music. He’s the kind of melodic truthteller essential to the regional hip-hop ecosystem, one that can capture hyperlocal anxieties of where they’re from, one in which the appeal isn’t due to one specific song or mixtape, but the relationship you build with their music as they get older. Think Kevin Gates’ unfiltered struggle ballads tracing his antics in the Deep South or the confessional anthems of Lil Durk—“The Voice,” as he likes to be called—that hone in on the emotional contradictions of drill. When…
Rappers rarely retire. They claim to, often with fanfare, but they almost never do. So, when Latto—whose ascent over the past decade has been steep and hard-fought—wrote on X that her fourth album, Big Mama, would be her last, it seemed unfathomable.It was only worth fathoming because Latto has actively pursued this career since age 10. In the 17 years since, she’s turned down a deal from one of modern hip-hop’s waymakers and landed 14 tracks on the Hot 100. She’s widely beloved by fans and peers alike, and Big Mama boasts several strong features from friendly superstars: Doja Cat,…

The wait is over: the band is ready to go on stage at the Bologna stadium. Daniel D`Amico for SANREMO.FM
Kurt Vile’s perfect album isn’t by Neil Young or Dylan or Dinosaur Jr. or Pavement or any other similarly scraggly artist on his familiar roll call of influences. For his recent Pitchfork Perfect 10, he picked the 2021 Czarface/MF DOOM collab Super What?—an unexpected choice that makes perfect sense if you look at Vile less as a classic-rock torchbearer and more as the world’s drowsiest rapper, one whose sing-spiel unfurls over zoned-out guitar instrumentals instead of looped beats. Like so much hip-hop, Vile’s songs are so self-referential, so steeped in his own peculiar POV and singular slang, that they seem…
I think we are all aware that the diffusion of ambient music has reached worrying volumes in recent years; and a good part of the episodes remain forgettable anthologies of creaks scattered over long periods pad exhaust yourself with the excuse of contemplation or transcendental meditation – which then maybe those who do it really meditate, but those who listen to it end up thinking only of the list of their own petty daily chores (I forgot the basil again). But isn't that how Satie and Eno thought of it? And in some ways also John Cage, who preferred the…

vote8.0 Bands: LEX LEGION Duration: 00:34:36 Available from: 05/06/2026 Label: MNRK Heavy Streaming not yet available. The announcement of the birth of Lex Legion was accompanied by a communication campaign which, basically, presented them as a new supergroup, with musicians from historical bands such as Motörhead, Scorpions, King Diamond and Pagan's Mind.Formally everything is correct, but these high-sounding proclamations risk shifting the focus from what would really make the heartbeat of any classic metal fan accelerate. Lex Legion, in fact, are exactly the formation that gave life to two masterpieces such as “Them” and “Conspiracy”, together with His Majesty, King…
When taking the stage at Yaamava’ Resort and Casino in Highland, California, on Monday evening, Jessica Simpson took a moment to reflect on her more than eight years of sobriety with the audience. Before performing her unreleased song, titled “Give It All Away,” Simpson shared insight behind the inspiration for the new track and said that while she has come a long way, she’s still a “work in progress.” “I didn’t understand all of the traumas that I was holding onto. And it was really painful once I started searching in myself to find what I could reveal,” Simpson said.…
