Hip-hop’s 50th-anniversary events have highlighted the lack of tributes to the Midwest’s major players. Rising acts, including “Safe 2” rapper Veeze, proudly carry the torch for their hometowns. For Veeze, that’s Detroit, Michigan. On his latest album, Ganger, which features appearances by Lil Uzi Vert, Babyface Ray, Lucki, and Icewear Vezzo, Veeze proves that the city’s impact in the genre should not be ignored.

In a post uploaded to his official X (formerly Twitter) page, Veeze confirmed the release date for his Ganger deluxe project and more. “‘Deluxe’ drops on 13th & next album 2025,” wrote Veeze.

So, what are Veeze’s plans in-between projects? Beginning today (October 10), Veeze will kick off The Ganger Tour, featuring special guests Talibando and Anycia in New York City at the Gramercy Theatre. The country-wide run will run until November 21, which concludes at Detroit’s The Shelter. Find more information here.

In another online upload, Veeze revealed post-tour plans. “Acting class after tour. and gotta learn a new language. Well, I wanna learn a new language. I may try to learn while on the road. But I’m supposed to teach myself how to make beats on the road,” penned Veeze.

Despite his recent run-in with the law, “I Remember Everything” singer Zach Bryan remains country music’s latest darling. To prove it, fans have continued to push his albums to the top of the charts. As his popularity has grown, so has the demand to see Bryan see him live in concert. On Monday, October 9, he revealed that he extended his The Quittin Time Tour in 2024.

The additional 19 dates are sandwiched in between his previously announced shows. Special guests for the shows include The Middle East, Mt. Joy, The War And Treaty, Sierra Ferrell, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit, Turnpike Troubadours, Sheryl Crow, Matt Maeson, and Levi Turner.

Bryan took to Instagram to share the discussion about expanding the already massive tour. “I do feel like the ticketing issues are insane. I am sorry, and in that, we added more shows to the tour to try and curve demand,” wrote Bryan.

He added, “I don’t want it to be lost on me or anyone how grateful and indebted I am to every single person who listened and listens. I am trying my best in this life. And also to make the shows as great as I can to the people I love most [of] y’all.”

On Saturday the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a devastating attack on Israel. Among the places hit included a music festival in the southern part of the nation. So far over a thousand in both nations are dead. Hamas has taken 150 hostage. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly declared war, vowing a swift and punishing reprisal. The strife has upended the world and rendered those reporting on it speechless. But Donald Trump had a predictably narcissistic response, as Jimmy Kimmel noted on his latest show.

Using his opening monologue to address the “nightmarish situation,” Kimmel also slammed the former president after he “immediately found a way to make it all about himself.” He referenced a post Trump made on Truth Social, in which he claimed the Israel attacks, like the war in Ukraine, “would never have happened if I were president.”

“That’s right,” Kimmel responded, “if he was president we’d all be blissfully downing jiggers of bleach. There’d be no war anywhere.”

Kimmel also noted that Trump subsequently posted a photo of him in his younger, leaner years playing tennis. He even gave the big guy a new name: “Subpoena Williams.”

Trump spent Saturday night, when the attacks began, at a rally in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, where he demonstrated what Kimmel called the “deep well of insight he has into this ongoing conflict in the Middle East.” It showed him on autopilot, badly mispronouncing Hamas so that it sounded more like “hummus.”

Trump showed more enthusiasm in another segment from the rally, in which he again railed against Joe Biden’s beach pics, even brazenly claiming that he had a “much better body.”

“On the day one of our closest allies is hit by a devastating terrorist attack, Trump is on stage talking about how much better his body is than Joe Biden’s,” Kimmel told the crowd.

You can see Kimmel’s monologue in the tweet embedded above.

Through more than five innings on Monday evening, the Atlanta Braves were utterly lifeless. After losing Game 1 in shutout fashion, the game’s best offense was no-hit for nearly six innings by Philadelphia’s Zack Wheeler in Game 2, with the Phillies taking a 4-0 lead that seemed to be almost insurmountable. Then, the Braves began to chip away, first with a manufactured run with two outs in the sixth and then with a pair of two-run home runs from Travis d’Arnaud and Austin Riley to take their first lead of the series.

Erasing a four-run deficit would be cause for enough excitement in any playoff baseball game but, after Atlanta took the lead in the eighth, there were more fireworks to come. In fact, Phillies star Bryce Harper earned a walk to open the inning, prompting a pitching change and, after a harmless first out, Nick Castellanos smashed a baseball 392 feet to center field at Truist Park in Atlanta.

Fortunately for the Braves, 392 feet wasn’t enough to clear the fence, with center fielder Michael Harris II making a wonderful catch to begin a game-ending double play.

Not only did Harris save a likely game-tying run with the catch, but he quickly flung the ball back to the infield. While the initial execution was not perfect for Atlanta, third baseman Austin Riley stepped in, secured the ball, and delivered a strike to first base to double off Harper, who understandably strayed far from first base thinking he would score. In short, this play would have been wild under any circumstances, but for it to cap a playoff game in which the favored home team overcame a four-run deficit was the stuff of baseball madness.

The Braves and Phillies will reconvene on Wednesday, with the action moving to Philadelphia for Game 3 and Game 4. Overall, an argument could be make that Philadelphia did its job in stealing a split on the road, but Game 2’s finish will have everyone talking until Game 3 begins in nearly 48 hours.

The holidays are quickly approaching. But before everyone prepares to join their loved ones for some cozy quality time, you must make it through spooky season. To help music and film lovers get into the Halloween spirit, The Nightmare Before Christmas production will return to the Hollywood Bowl. Last year, Boygenius’ Phoebe Bridgers stepped into the beloved role of Sally during the London performances. Before that, Billie Eilish did the honors.

Halsey will flex their musical theatre muscles for this year’s concert starring Danny Elfman. The show will take place over the Halloween weekend (October 27 through 29.) However, Halsey will only appear on October 27 and 28. On the official ticketing page for the event, Fred Armisen, Ken Page, Riki Lindhome, and more will also star in the show.

According to Variety, the movie’s original voice actor, Catherine O’Hara, will step in on the closing night as both Sally and Shock. Lindhome will serve as Shock on the first two shows. Regarding the musicians providing the live instrumentation, John Mauceri will return as the conductor, and violist Sandy Cameron has also been confirmed.

The Nightmare Before Christmas In Concert will occur between October 27 and 29 at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, California. Find more information here.

Some have a hard-and-fast rule when it comes to movies: If it’s based on a book, best to read the book first. With some films, it’s a bit more complicated. Someone who hasn’t read David Grann’s best-selling 2017 non-fiction tome Killers of the Flower Moon: The Osage Murders and the Birth of the FBI probably won’t be lost watching all 3 ½ hours of Martin Scorsese’s acclaimed adaptation. But they may be missing some details given that Scorsese and team decided to do something the book does not.

Last month, both Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio, one of its stars and executive producers, opened up about how they effectively inverted the source. In his book, Grann devotes most of the focus — the second and largest section — to the federal investigation into a spate of mysterious deaths amongst an enclave of Native Americans in Oklahoma who’d gotten wealthy on oil money. To the filmmakers, the first script felt like it took the wrong tack.

“After a certain point, I realized I was making a movie about all the white guys,” Scorsese told Time. “Meaning I was taking the approach from the outside in, which concerned me.”

“It just didn’t feel like it got to the heart of it,” DiCaprio said to British Vogue about the original script. “We weren’t immersed in the Osage story.”

So instead of playing Tom White, the former Texas Marshal who leads the federal investigation into the deaths, DiCaprio switched over to Ernest Burkhart, a white man who marries Lily Gladstone’s Mollie Burkhart, an Osage woman who watches as family and friends are killed off, then becomes gravely ill herself. Perhaps

As DiCaprio explained, “There was this tiny, small scene between Mollie and Ernest that provoked such emotion in us at the reading, and we just started to penetrate into what that relationship was, because it was so twisted and bizarre and unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

So should you read Killers of the Flower Moon before you see Killers of the Flower Moon? Up to you! It might help to know certain things about the federal investigation — including some fascinating stuff about the early days of policing and private investigators — that Scorsese and team might not have had time to put in their already epic movie. Or maybe you can do that after you’ve seen what critics are calling another stunning picture from one of cinema’s biggest cheerleaders.

Killers of the Flower Moon hits theaters on October 20.
