With the “All Red” rapper teasing his next project, it appears Carti has moved on. But, fans including producer Blaccmass are not ready to do the same. In fact, Blaccmass is expanding the album’s sonic universe.
Over on SoundCloud, Blaccmass let Playboi Carti supporters fully immersive themselves into his reimagination of Music. Blaccmass did not take the easy road. Instead, the recording artist flips each of Music’s 30 songs adding a nostalgic 2000s hip-hop and R&B staples touch.
From example Blaccmass weaves Carti’s “Pop Out” into Shop Boyz’s “Party Like a Rockstar,” “Crush” into Roscoe Dash’s “Show Out,” and “K Pop into Lil Wayne’s “Lollipop.”
Blaccmass’ Blaccmass Is Music mashup is every millennials’ musical wet dream.
Blaccmass’ previous remixes of others tunes grabbed Playboi Carti attention. But the full out mixtape received an early stamp of approval from Carti’s producer F1LTHY.
“I agree with this,” wrote F1LTHY in response to Blaccmass’ question about reworking Music.

Shortly after captivating the coveted festival’s massive crowd, Meg announced her next song would be here soon. Today (April 25), not only is Megan Thee Stallion’s latest single “Whenever” available on streaming services, the supporting video has been shared to YouTube.
Heavily coated with the southern imagery and color scheme of her mixtape Fever era, it is clear Tina Snow is back (at least her no nonsense attitude is). On the fearlessly rowdy track, Meg raps: “Twenty-four hours in a day, and the first thing y’all hoes do is start hatin’ / Couldn’t be me, about my breach, in my sleep gettin’ paid / One b*tch, two b*tch, three b*tch, four / Wanna fight me, over my hoe / Wanna see, taste this p*ssy, you might as well let that go / He feelin’ the pimp, he never just stealin’ the drip / He know that that these n****s gon’ hate / He know that you want him, ‘causе you know he f*ckin’ with me / And b*tch, he ain’t takin’ thе bait / Make no mistake, just ’cause I’m cute in this b*tch, don’t mean I won’t run in your sh*t.”
Last month, Megan provided fans with an update on her previously teased project, Megan: Act III. “Act III is being made,” she said. “I’m really just trying to figure out who do I want to do features with at this point in life. I only want to do features with people that … one, I haven’t done a feature with yet, and two, that I listen to on my own time — people that I actually, you know, f*ck with.”
“Whenever” appears to be the single and visual Meg hinted at.

PinkPantheress is one of the UK’s hottest electro-pop exports. While the “Tonight” singer’s tune often transcends geographic boarders, so does she (and not just for work purposes).
On her infectious new Fancy single, “Stateside,” PinkPantheress opens up about her refusal to let distance limit her love.
“It’s freezing outside / I feel my skin tight / My coat is inside, but I look up at you / I tracked your plane ride for when you’re in tonight / Tell me when is the next time I’ll run into you,” she sings.
While the tune is sure to get the dance floors grooving this summer, it does something far more important. “Stateside” guides listeners on an unfiltered tour into PinkPantheress’ gentler side and professional evolvement by way of the transatlantic love affair.
Alongside The Dare, aksel arvid, and Count Baldor, PinkPantheress uses pen and pad to produce the antithesis to her breakout record, “Boy’s A Liar Pt. 2.”
In a statement PinkPantheress echoes this belief. “So excited to share with you my favorite song off of the project, ‘Stateside,’” she said. “It explores my growth as an artist and I hope everyone enjoys it as much as me.”

If at first you don’t succeed, dust yourself off and try again. It seems Joe Jonas has taken those wise words uttered by the late Aaliyah to heart. With the blessing of his brothers (Uproxx cover stars Jonas Brothers) and to the pleasure of fans, the “Work It Out” singer’s next solo venture is on the way.
At the core of Music For People Who Believe In Love is love lessons learned after loss. Today (April 25), Joe Jonas leans further into his romantically optimistic outlook on the project’s latest single, “Heart By Heart.”
Co-written with Lewis Capaldi, Savan, Oscar Holter, as well as Max Gsus, Joe demonstrates that love is a learning process, and he is ready to enroll.
“You and I have been down these avenues before / Keep on going back and forth / Haven’t we baby, Oh my baby / There’s a long road left and a long time to live / You’re the sweetest loving to give / I know cause I’ve tasted it / I would hate you to waste it / So if he don’t ever light your spark / Remember I know your heart by heart,” sings Joe.
The song’s warm instrumental production and deeply intimate lyrical confessions make it hard not to take “Heart By Heart” as a homage to his reported ex-wife Sophie Turner.

Music For People Who Believe In Love is out 5/23 via Republic. Find more information here.
Today (April 25), Benson Boone shared his latest American Heart single, “Mystical Magical,” a track destined for radio domination.
Although the shimmering new song was initially premiered during Boone’s Coachella 2025 set, supporters outside of the Empire Polo Club grounds couldn’t truly grasp its sparkling energy.
“Once you know what my love’s gonna feel like / Nothing else will feel right / You can feel like / Moonbeam ice cream, taking off your blue jeans / Dancing at the movies / Cause it feels so / Mystical, magical / Oh, baby, ’cause once you know / Once you know / My love is so mystical, magical,” he sings.
Just as his stage costumes shine, so does Boone’s emotional vulnerability making him the perfect heartthrob. Thanks to the production insight of Evan Blair, “Mystical Magical” avoids the pitfalls of most gloom and doom hopeless romantic tunes. Instead, “Mystical Magical” feels like the jittery butterflies in your stomach after locking eyes with a crush.

(SPOILERS for Netflix’s You will obviously be found below.)
At the end of You‘s fifth season, Joe Goldberg was revealed to be done and dusted in prison. This satisfying ending dovetails with what star Penn Badgley has felt that Joe deserved all along, which is perhaps a fate worse than death, and now, the object of Cardi B’s affections has lost his luscious locks and is inwardly blaming society for everything that he’s done.
So much for accountability, right? That final detail, in which Joe refuses to accept responsibility for his homicidal actions, is also commentary on how You viewers lusted over a serial killer. It also works out mighty fine that this show’s “Final Girl,” Bronte (a fantastic Madeline Brewer), got out alive, as did Kate (Charlotte Ritchie) and Marienne (Tati Gabrielle). Many did not fare as well, although we can guess that Dr. Nicky (John Stamos, not reprising his role in the fifth season) is feeling vindicated somewhere as a free man. Surely? Yet over 20 other people who encountered Joe did not make it out alive (whether by cage or through various other mechanisms), so let’s count ’em.
Season 1
Lifetime
Although this wasn’t Joe’s official first kill, the show started off with a bang when Joe kind-of deliciously killed Guinevere Beck’s boyfriend, Benji Ashby, which is rather annoying to recall because (dammit) Goldberg sometimes did what the audience secretly wanted him to do. Then there was spoiled literary heiress Peach Salinger, whose death (and the fact that Joe left behind some pee-evidence) resulted in the above ^^^ meltdown face. More murders followed including Ron Baker, abusive stepdad to Paco; Elijah Thornton (in flashback), a music exec with whom Candace Stone cheated on Joe; Jimmy Stone, brother to Candace; and Guinevere Beck, whose death was unjustly followed by Joe publishing her book and framing Dr. Nicky for her murder.
Subtotal: Five
Season 2
A flashback informed us that Joe killed his mother’s abusive partner to start his lifelong rampage. Additionally, horrendous perv Henderson lost his life to Joe, thereby ending a three-episode appearance by now-disgraced comedian Chris D’Elia, who was (in a case of art allegedly imitating life) accused of bad acts that bore a striking resemblance to his character. Penn Badgley’s baddie also took out Jasper Krenn, a fellow psychopath and mobster who probably would have killed Joe if given any more screen time.
Subtotal: Eight
Season 3
After literally marrying Love and growing obsessed with Marienne, Joe targeted her abusive ex-husband, Ryan Goodwin, who lost a brutal battle with Joe’s knife. Near season’s end, Joe was nearly killed by his then-wife, Love Quinn (who has her own separate body count), in a knock-down, drag-out, poison-filled fight that ended with her demise and Joe faking his own death and changing his identity before fleeing to Europe.
Subtotal: Ten
Season 4
Despite this season being the dullest of the bunch, Joe managed to rack up his highest body count yet while pretending to be Professor Jonathan Moore. This rather convoluted season sees him dissociate, and the rest was bloody TV history. The wildest part about this season is that Joe doesn’t remember his murderous spree as the Eat The Rich killer, but nonetheless, he took out Vic, security detail to Phoebe; Malcolm Harding, a badly behaving professor; Simon Soo, a con-artist in the most literal sense; Gemma Graham-Greene, whose throat was slit; Edward, who had uncovered the evidence of Joe’s crimes, Tom Lockwood, father to Kate; Hugo McNamara, bodyguard to Tom Lockwood; and Rhys Montrose, in both the literal and imaginary senses.
Subtotal: Eighteen
Season 5
This final tour of terror began with Joe back in his old stomping grounds while flying way too close to the sun. And although Bronte did grow worryingly close to permanently falling under his spell (You did not shy away from Joker-Harley Quinn comparisons with a certain episode title), she fought him like hell, which ultimately led and imprisonment for life.
Before that happened, Joe took out Buffalo Bob Cain, mentor to Kate; Clayton, who hoped to vindicate his father, the wrongly convicted Dr. Nicky; Dane, a misogynist who began stalking Bronte; and A Random Cop, who had the misfortune of losing his life during Joe’s final stand after a nearly-drowned Bronte alerted the police. Do we have a total now? Yes.
2013’s Inside Llewyn Davis was a major role for star Oscar Isaac. It turns out it could have instead been a major role for Bon Iver’sJustin Vernon, as he recounted on Tig Notaro, Mae Martin, and Fortune Feimster’s Handsome podcast.
It’s a story better listened to or read in full (below), but in summary: In 2012, Vernon was invited to audition for the movie’s lead role, and after some thought, he decided to go for it. So he went to an audition, which he didn’t realize was an audition, and… well, Isaac ended up doing the movie, not him.
Watch the video above (the story starts at 51:45 in) and read a transcript of Vernon’s tale below.
“In 2012, [Bon Iver was] running around touring and we got an email from the people that represent the Coen brothers, the filmmakers, who are originally from this area [near Minneapolis]. I’m the biggest fan of their movies. And to put it into perspective before I tell you this story, I made movies growing up with my friends, my sports friends and I made movies. I was never allowed to be on camera because I was so bad at acting. I was always the director.
We get an email from the Coen brothers, curious if I would read for one of their films. And I immediately was like, ‘There’s no way in high hell that I can do this. I definitely am not built for this. I don’t wanna be any more famous than I just got. No.’
I thought about it. I couldn’t stop thinking about it for a couple days ’cause it was such a high honor. I started getting really confusing thoughts, like, ‘Maybe this was something I was meant to do, or maybe I need to grow into this.’ It’s the Coen brothers, you know?
So they sent a script and I had it on the road, and I’m a very kind of patchy reader. They wanted to have a meeting in New York, so I read the script. Over the course of a month, I read it once. I went to the Upper West Side, I believe it was Joel Coen’s apartment. And I was there with my brother, and they asked my brother to wait outside, and I thought that was kind of weird. And I walk in and embarrassingly now, I said, ‘Hey, I’m such a huge fan, it’s so great to meet y’all. I’ve been really thinking about this.’ I worked myself into such a tizzy that I went in and said, ‘I’m totally willing to move my Australia tour to do this part and let’s really make this happen.’ I was trying to talk to them about Minneapolis, and they were kinda just, ‘Hey man, why don’t we just sit down and read a little bit?’
In that moment, it was the most dun-dun-dun moment in my life. In that moment, I realized that I was in an audition and I didn’t know that. And I was completely paralyzed. The movie ended up being acted by Oscar Isaac, it’s a movie called Inside Llewyn Davis.
So I’m sitting there, I’m a terrible actor, I’ve read this thing exactly once. […] It was OK that they were laughing at me, because I was so bad. But anyways, it was one of those learning experiences where if something doesn’t feel right to you, and you’re not meant to do it, maybe just let it pass.”
The video, shot in South Korea, sees Zauner playing the role of a discontented bride. Zauner says of the clip, “I made this video with Peter Ash Lee, who also shot the cover of Jubilee. I loved the idea of playing a fussy bride who ruins her own wedding.”

Saturday Night Live has been on a short break, spanning last week and this upcoming weekend. New episodes return in May, though, and now we know who’s going to be on them: Hosts and musical guests for the next three shows were announced today (April 24).
On May 3, Quinta Brunson hosts and Benson Boone is the musical guest. The May 10 episode features Walton Goggins and Arcade Fire, and the May 17 show will have Scarlett Johansson and Bad Bunny.
This will be Bad Bunny’s first time on SNL since he was the host and musical guest in 2023. Before that, he was a musical guest in 2021 and made a cameo in a 2020 episode. Arcade Fire, meanwhile, are in the Five-Timers Club for musical guests, as they’ve been on the show in 2007, 2010, 2013, 2018, and 2022. Boone’s history is less fleshed out, as this will be his first time performing on the show.
Johansson has been on the show pretty regularly over the past few years, thanks to husband and Weekend Update co-anchor Colin Jost. Johansson made a notable cameo a few months ago, during Jost and Michael Che’s annual joke swap, where each host gets the other to read objectionable jokes. Jost said some that that left Johansson stunned.
If you want to see Modest Mouse play with a bunch of good bands this year but cruises aren’t really your thing, the indie rock legends have announced The Psychic Salamander Festival.
The lineup for the two-day event features Modest Mouse and The Flaming Lips on both nights, with the latter performing their 1999 masterpiece The Soft Bulletin in its entirety on night 2. The bill also features Courtney Barnett, Built To Spill, Sleater-Kinney, Yo La Tengo, and Friko among others.
Modest Mouse’s The Psychic Salamander Festival takes place on September 13 and 14 at Washington’s Remlinger Farms, a family-owned working farm with a concert space and amusement park. Tickets go on sale on Friday, May 2, at 10 a.m. local time. You can find more information here.
Additionally, Modest Mouse are going on a separate co-headlining tour with The Flaming Lips, the The Good Times Are Killing Me tour, the dates for which you can see here.
