GloRilla and Latto lead an all-girl bank heist crew in the Set It Off inspired video for “Procedure,” their collaboration from GloRilla’s debut album, Glorious. It even features one that film’s stars, Vivica A. Fox, in a cameo role.
The video reimagines the two rappers as employees at a big-box store (the blue vests suggest Walmart), getting off their shift and complaining about their jobs. Glo falls asleep on her couch watching a heist film on TV, leading to the events of the video’s main plot. The two rappers trade their boastful verses while posing atop a vintage muscle car between clips of their bank heisting exploits.
“Procedure” is just the latest in a long list of collaborations between the two Southern belles, who formed their working relationship when Latto appeared on the remix of Glo’s breakout hit “FNF (Let’s Go).” Later the same year, they collaborated with one of the region’s pioneers, Gangsta Boo, on “FTCU.” The next year, they appeared together twice: on GloRilla’s remix of Latto’s “Put It On The Floor,” and in the video for Sprite’s Hip-Hop 50 campaign, remaking “Rapper’s Delight.”
They linked up again last year during Megan Thee Stallion’s Hot Girl Summer Tour, getting into a twerk-off that highlighted their burgeoning chemistry. While “Procedure” marks the first time they recorded a song together since 2022, it’s clear they had a lot of fun making it, and that their chemistry is only growing.

Last week, one of the best indie groups from the 2000s — made up of Jenny Lewis, Blake Sennett, Pierre De Reeder and Jason Boesel — announced their first concert in over 15 years. Thankfully for everyone who is desperate to hear “Paint’s Peeling” live (me), it’s not a one-night-only event: Rilo Kiley has revealed headlining North American dates and festival performances, all of which are on the western half of the US and Canada. Hopefully more to come!
“It’s going to be wonderful for us, like going back to the purest version of yourself, that early ’20s place where everything is possible,” Lewis (the proud mother of Bobby Rhubarb) said in a statement. “You’re in a van and Jason’s got the map, Pierre is behind the wheel, and I’m on the shitty acoustic guitar on the bench seat working out a new song with Blake. I don’t think it’s ever been as good as that, when it was just us against the world.”
Tickets for the tour, dubbed the Sometimes When You’re On, You’re Really F**king On Tour, go on sale on February 7 on the band’s website. Additionally, Rilo Kiley is releasing a reissue of 2002’s The Execution Of All Things on 4/25 via Saddle Creek. You can find more information here.

Waxahatchee was perhaps the biggest indie artist of 2024, if the results of the Uproxx Music Critics Poll are any indication, thanks to her album Tigers Blood. She had a bit more in the tank there, it turns out, as today (February 4), she shared “Mud,” an outtake from the album’s sessions.
Aside from that, Waxa also has a bunch of tour dates coming up, including some newly announced shows with Outlaw Festival (also featuring Willie Nelson & Family, Bob Dylan, and Sheryl Crow).
Meanwhile, Crutchfield is fresh off a major career milestone: her first Grammys as a nominee, as Tigers Blood was up for Best Americana Album (Sierra Ferrell’s Trail Of Flowers won).

Indie music has grown to include so much. It’s not just music that is released on independent labels, but speaks to an aesthetic that deviates from the norm and follows its own weirdo heart. It can come in the form of rock music, pop, or folk. In a sense, it says as much about the people that are drawn to it as it does about the people that make it.

Deafheaven – “Magnolia”
Heavy shoegaze has become one of the decade’s leading sonic trends, and Deafheaven was a key participant in 2021 with their album Infinite Granite. On songs like “Great Mass Of Color” and “In Blur,” frontman George Clarke delivered clean vocals for the first time, and Justin Meldal-Johnsen lent his M83-sized production style to give those songs some celestial heft. For their new record — Lonely People With Power, out March 28 — Deafheaven have recruited Meldal-Johnsen again for those soaring, anthemic qualities, but they’re back to their black metal days with lead single “Magnolia.” Clarke issues throat-shredding screams as his bandmates plow ahead with searing blast-beats and relentless shredding. It’s a homecoming that’s at once brutal and beautiful.
Momma – “I Want You (Fever)”
One of the most indelible trends of 2020s indie rock thus far has been the revival of ’90s sonic signifiers. Although Brooklynites Momma have been making music since the 2010s, their music reached an apotheosis on 2022’s Household Name, which drew from the likes of Pavement, Nirvana, and Smashing Pumpkins for a collection of concise, hook-minded bangers. Rather than steering away from that foundation entirely, songwriters Etta Friedman and Allegra Weingarten keep building on top of it while adding their own idiosyncratic twists. Their latest song, “I Want You (Fever),” abounds with skyscraper riffs, towering choruses, and trenchant melodies.
Julien Baker & Torres – “Sylvia”
The idea of a Julien Baker and Torres collaborative album dates back as early as 2016. After the two musicians played a show in Chicago together, they briefly entertained the idea. Now, that album has fully come to fruition. Send A Prayer My Way, out April 18, sees Baker and Torres dive headfirst into full-on country. Both artists are from the South and have been enamored of the genre’s most influential voices, and they’re making their own mark on a scene that has long been exclusionary toward queer women. “Sylvia,” which accompanies the announcement, is further proof that this is no mere pastiche. Its draw lies in its simplicity, one of country’s most salient tenets. “So alone when I’m not with you, but I ache to see the world,” the duo sings. On paper, it’s a straightforward song about Torres’ dog. In execution, it’s a tune that resonates with universal truths.
Lucrecia Dalt – “Cosa Rara”
Colombian musician Lucrecia Dalt boasts an impressive portfolio of film scores. Whereas her compositions for the screen hew to the worlds constructed by others, Dalt sculpts her own fantastical settings throughout her experimental oeuvre. Her 2022 breakthrough LP, ¡Ay!, showcased her predilection for futuristic bolero. On “Cosa Rara,” the title track of her forthcoming EP, she taps into her scoring skills to highlight the most eerie qualities of her music: aqueous synths, minor-key bass, churning percussion. That’s all before former Japan frontman David Sylvain delivers a hypnotic verse in his earthy baritone. Suggestive and ominous, it’s a tidy summation of Dalt’s wide-ranging talents.
Tunde Adebimpe – “Drop”
It has been over a decade since TV On The Radio put out an album. As one of the most influential bands in the NYC early-aughts indie-rock heyday, people have long been clamoring for new music. Although the group has returned to touring, it seems like frontman Tunde Adebimpe has kept himself occupied with other endeavors. Namely, his debut solo record, Thee Black Boltz, out April 18. Similar to how other iconic indie rockers, such as Kims Gordon and Deal, released great solo debuts long after their respective bands’ most active periods, Adebimpe stakes his own claim. “Drop,” which accompanies the announcement, marks a new path for the polymath. Opening with heavily processed beatboxing and ringing guitar, “Drop” sees Adebimpe wrestling with his life’s trajectory. “The ticking of a clock / On my life / And my life’s just a dot / On a timeline,” he intones. Despite these questions of self-doubt and impermanence, he sounds genuinely sure of himself. He’s here to stay.
Sleigh Bells – “Wanna Start A Band?”
Sleigh Bells started making their latest song over a decade ago. In 2008, Alexis Krauss was eating at a Brooklyn restaurant when her server, Derek Miller, asked her if she wanted to start a band. Thus, Sleigh Bells was born. Fast forward to 2014, when Miller began toying with a guitar riff that would eventually form the basis of “Wanna Start A Band?” It’s got all the classic Sleigh Bells signifiers: chugging guitars, blown-out, noisy production, and sugary sweet vocal hooks. All of it amounts to one of the indie-pop duo’s best songs since Treats.
Jamie xx – “F.U.” Feat. Erykah Badu
After finally releasing his second solo album, In Waves, English producer Jamie xx has shared its deluxe version, which boasts two new tracks plus three singles he’s previously shared. One of those new tunes (kinda) features R&B lodestar Erykah Badu. “F.U.,” the tune in question, samples Badu’s extemporaneous set at a Primavera Sound after-party that Jamie xx recorded on his phone. Her equipment kept failing on her, so she resorted to ad-libs to make it through the allotted time slot. Its origins may be off-the-cuff, but Jamie transforms a one-off Badu performance into something carefully considered and immaculately crafted. Its squelchy bass and thumping drums contain all the central characteristics of a Jamie xx banger.
Black Country, New Road – “Besties”
Shortly before releasing their beloved second album, Ants From Up There, then-frontman Isaac Wood announced his departure from Black Country, New Road. The post-punk band stated that it would continue, but newly bereft of their main vocalist, it was a confusing time. They went out on tour, performing completely new material, which would then become 2023’s Live At Bush Hall. But Forever Howlong (out April 4) marks their first proper studio LP since Wood’s egress, and it’s composed of all-new material not included on Live At Bush Hall. Lead single “Besties” marks yet another first for BC,NR: Georgia Ellery, also of the experimental pop duo Jockstrap, on lead vocals. With its anthemic aura, “Besties” sounds like a triumphant rebirth, highlighting an epic new epoch for the Windmill graduates.
Sasami – “In Love With A Memory” Feat. Clairo
Sasami grew up studying composition, and so did producer and former Vampire Weekend member Rostam Batmanglij. For the latest single from the forthcoming Blood On The Silver Screen, Sasami and Rostam tapped into their compositional knowledge to create “In Love With A Memory.” Drawing more from Sasami’s classical upbringing, “In Love With A Memory” cruises on adroit synth arpeggios while taking inspiration from Japanese and Korean folk songs. It also includes vocals from fellow indie-pop songwriter Clairo, whose gossamer timbre seamlessly blends into the song’s fabric.
Uwade – “Call It A Draw”
At the beginning of “Wading In Waist-High Water,” the opening track of Fleet Foxes’ 2020 album Shore, Uwade Akhere’s voice comes in like a lapping wave. When she recorded those vocals, she was studying classics at Oxford. She shuffled around the studio toying with various instruments and marveling at her surroundings. She recorded some covers during the Shore sessions, too, but in the time that’s elapsed, Uwade has established a voice of her own. “Call It A Draw,” the lead single of her forthcoming debut album, Florilegium, blends alt-R&B, neo-soul, and indie-folk. Threading it all together is Uwade’s hypnotic vocals, which flare like vaporous tendrils swirling about the stereo field. Five years ago, Uwade introduced herself. But now, she has fully arrived.
The return of the Head In The Clouds Festival was thrown into doubt by the Los Angeles wildfires, which devastated the areas surrounding its usual venue at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena. But, today, 88rising made the happy announcement that Head In The Clouds will return on May 31-June 1, with headliners G-Dragon and 2NE1, along with acts like Dean, DPR Ian, Rich Brian, and the reunion of the premiere Chinese rap group, Higher Brothers. The festival will be G-Dragon’s sole North American festival performance, and there will also be a celebration of the label’s 10th year, “88rising’s Ten Year Finale,” which promises some surprises.
In the 10 years since its inception, 88rising has promoted Asian and Asian-American artists at level previously unseen in the United States. In addition to introducing American audiences to standouts such as Joji, Jackson Wang, NIKI, and Rich Brian, the label also curated the soundtrack for Marvel’s Shang-Chi And Legend Of The Ten Rings, as well as a Coachella set highlighting its artists.
88rising’s production partner for the festival, Goldenvoice, is also teaming up with the Rose Bowl Operating Company to donate $250,000 to the Eaton Fire Relief & Recovery Fund.
2-Day General Admission passes start at $300 and VIP passes start at $450. Passes go on sale Friday, February 7 at 11 AM. You can find more information here.
As soon as the trade news broke, the spin began from the Mavericks side as they tried desperately to explain why they were trading a 25-year-old superstar. Much of that has focused on Doncic’s conditioning, as he’s always looked a bit pudgy compared to most of the NBA’s elite, but what those critiques seem to ignore is the fact that Doncic has always been dominant on the floor.
While Doncic was the headliner of the trade, he isn’t the only player making the move from Dallas to L.A., as Markieff Morris returns to the Lakers as part of the deal. He was also on hand Tuesday at the Lakers facility and spoke with the media after Doncic’s presser, and was asked for his thoughts on the conditioning talk surrounding Luka and noted his confusion by it all (video here via Tomer Azerly).
“He’s a great guy, man. Super low maintenance, don’t need much,” Morris said. “One of the only guys I’ve been on a team with that’ll play through any injury if he can get on the court. I hear stuff about him not being in shape, but if you can go in an NBA game and get 30, 15, and 10, then I don’t know what shape is. I’m confused at that part. Yeah, you’ll see it really soon.”
Now, you wouldn’t expect a guy who is still teammates with Doncic to bury him, so it’s not a surprise he’s voicing his support for Luka, but that last part is the thing most fans can’t get out of their head either and it’s nice to see an NBA player also saying it. Doncic has averaged 28/8/8 for his career and regularly flirts with huge triple-doubles. If that guy is “out of shape” then I, like Morris, am not sure what in shape even means.
At the same time, there are certainly valid questions to be had about whether Doncic could maximize his immense talents more by being in better shape, but he definitely doesn’t seem to be on the verge of becoming a disaster. And the truth is, we’ve seen star players in similar positions before. A lot of NBA stars can naturally dominate early in their careers while eating whatever they want and partying and all of that, but as they get older they learn how to better take care of themselves and find that balance. Doncic, who is about to turn 26, probably will have to go on that same journey, but given his talent and apparent competitive fire, it seems odd the Mavs decided to bank on him not figuring that part out — which is why many have posited something else has to have been part of this decision.
Given the current Mavs roster has been built to complement Doncic’s skills, they needed to make some adjustments to the supporting cast to try and build the best team around Irving and Davis. On Tuesday, they began doing just that with their first post-Doncic trade, sending Quentin Grimes to the 76ers for Caleb Martin, per Shams Charania.
The Sixers recoup their own second round pick for this year that Dallas held, which, if they don’t go on a big late season run, could be pretty high on the Draft’s second day. They also add another perimeter scoring threat in Grimes, who is having a solid season in Dallas averaging 10.2 points, 3.8 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game and hitting 39.8 percent of his threes.
Martin, meanwhile, has missed the last 12 games with a hip/groin injury, but was averaging 9.1 points, 4.4 rebounds, and 2.1 assists per game and hitting 37.9 percent of his threes prior to his absence. The Mavs have made it clear that their goal is to build a defense-first team around Davis, and that is certainly the goal with this trade in adding another versatile wing defender in Martin. It’ll be interesting to see how the Mavs proceed and if they have more moves on the horizon over the next 48 hours before the deadline, but Nico Harrison is certainly shuffling the deck in Dallas for the second half of the season.
The music community has stepped up to support Los Angeles as the city recovers from the wildfires. Now, the folks at Good Music are doing their part with Good Music To Lift Up Los Angeles, a new compilation album featuring so many artists.

The tracklist includes all 12 songs from the original version of the Best Pop Vocal Album winner, as well as five bonus tracks — including an updated “Please Please Please” with none other than Dolly Parton.
“as a thank you for giving this album 2 Grammy’s :’) short n’ sweet deluxe is now available for pre order.. out February 14th!” Carpenter wrote on X. “and yes that does say featuring Miss Dolly Parton… she wouldn’t want me to swear but holy sh*t!!!!!”
Carpenter also let out a “holy sh*t” during the Grammys, although you wouldn’t know it from the broadcast: the word was censored by CBS. “Thank you, this is so special to me, and Short N’ Sweet means the world,” she said, adding, “I love you guys, you have no idea how much I love you and how much this album means to me. Thank you, holy sh*t! Bye!”
You can check out the tracklist below.
Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet (Deluxe) Tracklist
Once upon a time, Chance The Rapper had an earned reputation as a “say yes to anything,” brand-favorite performer (complimentary). If you needed someone to don a fuzzy bear suit and converse with a KitKat bar in a commercial, he was your man. It was wholesome and lighthearted and — po-faced rap fan naysaying aside — really quite fun.
But in the years since, Chance has laid a bit lower, only popping up to exhibit his new album Star Line at art galleries. However, that soon changes, as NBA On TNT announces its partnership with the Windy City MC for NBA All-Star Weekend. He’ll be headlining the annual NBA On TNTAmerican Express Road Show on Thursday, February 13, at Pier 48 in San Francisco, his first really high-profile corporate gig in a while.
The NBA On TNT American Express Road Show will, as usual, be hosted by Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith, and Shaquille O’Neal, offering pre-game coverage of the Oklahoma City Thunder vs. The Minnesota Timberwolves game ahead of the All-Star Weekend Festivities. Those festivities once again include the All-Star Celebrity Game (for which rosters were announced today) and The Rising Stars Challenged (here’s the player pool) — but not a three-point shoot-out with Caitlin Clark to some Iowa fans’ chagrin.
Chance fans hoping for his comeback can probably take some encouragement from the announcement, while may well presage an official release date for Star Line and the beginning of his return to casual rap fans’ good graces.
