6lack and Jessie Reyez look to work their magic for a third time on their upcoming single, “Homicide.” The two artists previously worked together on the songs “Imported” and “Forever“; today, 6lack posted a teaser for “Homicide” on his Instagram page, promising to complete “the collab trilogy.” Along with the moody cover art, he shared clips of the videos from the pair’s previous output, as well as an offer for “more surprises this week & all through tour season.”

“Forever” appeared on Reyez’s most recent album, Yessie, while “Imported” appeared on her debut studio album, Before Love Came To Kill Us in 2020. Her most recent collaboration with another R&B star has also been making waves; “Jeans” featuring Miguel came with a spicy video complementing its explicit content.

Meanwhile, 6lack is around six months removed from his most recent full-length release, Since I Have A Lover. The album spawned a handful of singles including the title track, “Talkback,” “Fatal Attraction,” and “Preach.” 6lack has since been preparing for his Since I Have A Lover Tour, which starts in Portland, Oregon on October 1 and runs through November 24 in his hometown, Atlanta. Then, he’ll hop the pond for a series of European shows beginning in February of 2024.

“Homicide” is out this Friday, September 29. You can pre-save it here.

(Obviously, spoilers about Daryl Dixon will be found below.)

Norman Reedus is having the time of his life with his solo The Walking Dead spinoff. He’s not only frontman but executive producer, so he made numerous decisions related to the production, including who’s involved. Reedus agreed to make Daryl Dixon on the condition that frequent franchise director and veteran makeup effects creator Greg Nicotero was on board. And Reedus is also a massive fan of a French performer who had never watched The Walking Dead, but that apparently didn’t matter. Reedus wanted a part written for them, and then he fanboyed out when they appeared on set.

As it turns out, Reedus loves to watch Drag Race, and he specifically wanted Paloma (who won the first season of Drag Race France) on the show in a role focused on the Moulin Rouge-like realm of the Parisian underworld.

Paloma recently spoke with Digital Spy and admitted, “I have to confess I haven’t seen The Walking Dead.” Yet the phone rang one day for a “meeting” and not an “audition,” and when Paloma showed up, this happened:

The casting director told me, “There is no one else in mind for the character. It’s for you. I’ve been waiting for you.”

So I passed the test. It was good for them. And the first day of shooting? Norman [Reedus] just jumped on me, gave me a big hug, and was like, “Oh my God. I’m so happy to meet you. I’m a fan.”

Later, in my dressing room, the scriptwriter told me that Norman asked them to write a part for me. He told me Norman is a very big fan of Drag Race in general, but of France in particular.”

Not only that, but Paloma revealed that Reedus really wants to invite RuPaul onto his Ride With Norman Reedus series, so hopefully, they can make that happen. Also, I hope they make sure that Keanu Reeves is still happily hanging around because I need to hear that whole conversation go down. Additionally, actor Diane Kruger (Reedus’ wife) reached out to Paloma to declare, “Norman was so happy. We have seen every episode of Drag Race.” Alright, that is officially too wonderful. We’re talking about a post-apocalyptic world! I’m not mad, though.

AMC’s The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon airs on Sunday nights.

Apparently, “Slime You Out” rapper Drake is going against his 2010 cardinal mantra: never home but always repping. Yesterday (September 25), when his It’s All A Blur Tour stopped at the State Farm Arena, the proud Toronto, Canada, native bestowed a rather cherished title onto the city of Atlanta.

In between songs, Drake took a moment to share his thoughts on the region’s impact on hip-hop culture.

“What would any of us be without Atlanta? All the love that you’ve shown, all the musicians that you birthed, all the contributions that you give. This is hands-down the most important place in rap music. And you should be very proud of yourselves,” declared the entertainer.

Although the sold-out crowd cheered in agreement, others had mixed reactions to the claim once the fan-captured clip was shared on social media.

“Aubrey is no different from a politician,” declared one user, referring to critics that Drake panders to every city he visits.

“Anyone that doesn’t say New York is hallucinating,” barked one user.

“But if it wasn’t for the Bronx, this rap sh*t would probably never be going on, so tell ’em where you from,” proclaimed another.

Despite the overwhelming pushback on his commentary, several users still agreed with Drake’s remarks.

“He is telling the truth. Unfortunately, Drake says this everywhere he goes,” wrote a user.

“He’s got a point. Atlanta has had a hold on rap music for at least 15 years as a collective,” penned one user.

The show featured guest appearances by his On The Radar freestyle collaborator Central Cee, Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, and Atlanta Hawks point guard Trae Young.

As if Rudy Giuliani wasn’t already up to his neck with legal fees, the former Donald Trump attorney is now being sued by Hunter Biden for allegedly hacking his infamous laptop and other devices.

According to the lawsuit, Giuliani and his former attorney Robert Costello are accused of spending several years “hacking into, tampering with, manipulating, copying, disseminating, and generally obsessing over data that they were given that was taken or stolen from” Biden. The suit alleges that the duo’s actions caused the “total annihilation” of Biden’s digital privacy.

Aiding the lawsuit is the fact that Giuliani has “not only admitted but bragged about downloading data,” which was easily proved by highlighting just one of the many, many times Rudy opened his mouth.

Via CNN:

As an example, they pointed to an episode of Giuliani’s podcast ‘America’s Mayor Live’ in February 2023. According to the lawsuit, in a video of the podcast, Giuliani “held up a laptop computer on camera and announced: ‘This belongs to Hunter Biden.’”

“He proceeded to brag about having copied Plaintiff’s data onto his own computer and about having accessed, analyzed and manipulated the transferred data,” the lawsuit states.

The lawsuit is part of a more aggressive move by Hunter Biden who is going after his Republican detractors. Before targeting Giuliani, Hunter sued former Trump White House aide Garrett Ziegler for spending his post-administration free time trying to access Hunter’s devices.

“Everyone involved in stealing and manipulating Hunter’s data should be hearing footsteps right about now,” a source on Hunter’s legal team told CNN.

Yesterday, Paramore sent fans into a spiral after posting a cryptic teaser to social media. The post featured a screen recording of the notes app, as the following was typed out: “RE: This Is Why… 9.28 – This Is Why… 10.2 – Why Is This?… 10.6 – Is This Why?” While the first part referenced the band’s album, This Is Why, that dropped in February, many have been wondering what the shifted titled on October 2 and October 6 could mean.

The primary fan theory is that Paramore would be dropping a deluxe version of the album — on at least one of the dates. Or maybe a single announcement before the deluxe drops.

Another one floating around is that they could release potentially two additional new projects with the listed titles.

Finally, some fans believe that a documentary is on the way. “Once again choosing to believe doc and TIW Deluxe are incoming. perhaps a live album to accompany the doc. source: myself,” one user wrote.

Another opted for some math to prove this, pointing out, “10.2… 10×2 = 20… Paramore have been a band for 20 years next year in conclusion October 2nd is the documentary announcement.”

Whatever it turns out to be, fans are on the edge of their laptops.

Paramore is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Remember when Kanye West and Julia Fox dated? That was a fun three months? six months? seven years? (you could tell me it lasted any amount of time and I would believe you) of our lives. Since the breakup, Fox has revealed that the reason she started the relationship was to distract the rapper from bugging his ex-wife and mother of his kids, Kim Kardashian (“I was like, oh my god, maybe I can get him off of Kim’s case”).

Fox also recently confessed that she and West never had sex.

In an interview with the New York Times, Fox was asked if she always knew sex was going to play a big part in her memoir, Down the Drain. “I felt like it was the truth. Why not write it?” she answered. “I have this thing where, in my personal writing, I don’t go into as much detail as I could. I’m like: ‘This crazy thing happened. OK, moving on…’ So I made it a point to put the reader in the room. I didn’t want to skip over things. So maybe some things are too detailed.” There’s nothing about Fox’s sex life with West, however. “Because there, like, wasn’t any,” the Uncut Gems star said. “It wasn’t really about that.”

They were too busy hoarding the world’s supply of denim to have sex.

Down the Drain comes out on October 10th.

Today (September 26), Spotify announced Jam, a new feature that aims to bring music listeners together, but what is it and how does it work?

Spotify lays it out in a blog post and describes Jam as “a personalized, real-time listening session for your group to tune into together,” adding, “Jam builds on some of our popular social features and combines them with our personalization technology to take real-time listening with pals to the next level.”

As for how to use the feature (which is rolling out globally today), the first step is to make sure you have an up-to-date version of the Spotify app. From there, one user (who must have a Premium account) can start a Jam, which any Spotify user (Premium or not) can join.

More specifically, Spotify explains, “To get grooving, select a playlist or song you’re feeling excited about. You’ll see a “Start a Jam” button by clicking the speaker icon at the bottom of your screen or by hitting the three dot menu within your favorite playlist or song. You can also select a device to play on, whether that’s your phone or speaker. Those in your household on your shared Wi-Fi will also be prompted to join the Jam when they open Spotify.”

Then, the user who started the jam can invite others to join in one of three ways: “Turn on Bluetooth, then tap your phones together,” “Have your friends scan the QR code on your host screen,” or “Hit ‘share’ to send the link through social, text, SMS, and more.”

Once the Jam has been set up and multiple users are in, anybody in the Jam can “add songs to the queue, see who added which song, and receive recommendations, all from their own devices.” The Jam’s host has advanced control, though, as they can “determine who’s in the Jam, change the order of the tracks, or remove a song that doesn’t fit the vibe.”

Spotify also shared a promotional video showing off the feature, so check that out above and learn more about Jam here.

Lisa Cloud, the mother of Euphoria actor Angus Cloud, recalled the last conversation they had before his tragic death. “I love you, mama. You’re the best,” he said, she told People. “I’ll see you in the morning.”

Cloud was found dead in his family’s home in July, but his cause of death wasn’t revealed until last week. It was ruled “a lethal combination of fentanyl, cocaine, methamphetamine and more in what’s being ruled an accidental overdose,” according to TMZ. Lisa said, “It was predominantly the central nervous system depressants. It started to slow his heart and slow his breathing. He got tired from lack of oxygen. Everything just slowed down, and eventually his heart stopped and he went to sleep. But he didn’t kill himself.”

Euphoria co-star Zendaya described Cloud as feeling “like a little brother instantly; ironic because we played characters with the exact opposite dynamic. I’m lucky because I got to experience the most beautiful parts of him. I got to watch him create and I got to watch him discover the fact that he was an actor. A damn good one at that, and as many times as I would tell him or compliment his performance, I don’t think he ever truly believed it.”

A skate park is being built in Cloud’s honor. You can donate here.
