In March, Bryson Tiller announced his self-titled album, which will be his first full-length studio album since Anniversary arrived in October 2020. So, Bryson Tiller fans are starved for new Bryson Tiller music, but they better enjoy Bryson Tiller because another lengthy hiatus is on tap after his subsequent self-titled tour. During this album’s promotional cycle, Tiller told Complex that this album “is probably gonna be my last one for a minute” because he wants to focus on “getting closer to my daughters” and video game design.

When Will Bryson Tiller’s New Album Be On Apple Music?

Like most albums, Bryson Tiller will likely be available to stream on Apple Music right at 9 p.m. PST tonight (April 4) and midnight EST on Friday, April 5. The album should also be available to stream on Spotify and YouTube.

Bryson Tiller’s Bryson Tiller Album Cover

Bryson Tiller is out 4/5 via RCA Records. Find out more information here.

Lil Yachty has come full circle. Before music, Yachty worked as a McDonald’s crew member, during which time, he crafted one of his artistic hallmarks — the signature vibrant red hair that made him stand out when he first stepped onto the scene.

Dropping tracks on Soundcloud in between shifts at Mickey D’s, Yachty maintained his momentum before deciding to move to New York to pursue music full-time. Nearly a decade later, Yachty delivered an energetic halftime performance at the 2024 McDonald’s All-American Games this past Tuesday (April 2). Additionally, he starred in a commercial for McDonald’s Canada, which featured him delivering a trippy rendition of the Menu Song.

Yachty’s most recent solo album Let’s Start Here showed us that his name is no longer synonymous with the Soundcloud era. Inspired by psychedelic sounds, Let’s Start Here proved to listeners that Yachty is serious about his artistry and is no flash-in-the-pan. And since its release over a year ago, Yachty has not taken his foot off the gas.

Last month, Yachty announced the launch of Concrete Recordz, as part of a partnership with Quality Control and HYBE. On the roster is his new rap collective, Concrete Boys, comprised of rappers Camo!, DC2TRILL, Draft Day, Karrahbooo, and Yachty himself.

Uproxx chatted with Yachty ahead of his halftime performance, as well as the release of Concrete Boys’ compilation album, It’s Us Vol., 1, which is set to drop Friday (April 5). With 10 years in the game, Yachty isn’t letting up anytime soon — not before pushing more bounds with his own artistry, and cultivating a new generation of movers and shakers.

Hey Yachty, how are you?

I’m blessed, man. Happy that we are having nice sunny days. I had a milkshake. And I’m lactose [intolerant], but I took my lactose pills. I took two of them. And they’re working, so we’re good. It’s always a plus when you’re lactose, and you drink milk, and you’re good. That might be too much information, but you asked, and I’m truthful.

[Laughs] I’m not tripping. How are you feeling, leading up to your performance?

It’s always a good feeling to have a full-circle moment in life. I worked for McDonald’s, and it was the first job I ever had when I was 15 or 16 years old. My McDonald’s commercial also just came out for McDonald’s Canada.

I love your commercial. It’s really trippy! How did that collaboration come together?

Separate from this, actually, McDonald’s reached out. And they wanted to redo the classic song, and I thought that was awesome. And very few artists get the opportunity to do these types of things, so it was actually a no-brainer.

What are some of your fondest memories as a McDonald’s crew member?

My mom was a very business-savvy woman. I had long, black braids back then. When I was about to go in for my interview, my mom was like “Oh, you can’t have braids, you have to look professional if you want to get hired.” She took me to the barbershop, and she made me cut off my hair.

I went to the interview, got hired, and on my first day working, everyone had long hair. I remember coming home to my mom crying and being like “You made me cut my hair! I would’ve still gotten the job.”

She felt so bad, and she was like “Okay, well let’s do something different.”

And I was like “I don’t have hair,” and then she said “dye it red.”

That’s the origin of my red hair.

And you’ve never shared that before?

You honestly just unlocked that memory in my brain. I forgot all about that.

So you’ve got It’s Us Vol. 1, dropping Friday. It’s the first album with the Concrete Boys crew. What was the process like assembling talent for this collective?

These are my friends. So it wasn’t like I was looking high and low for talent. These were friends that I’ve made along the way. The most important thing to me is my friendships — and trying to bring everyone up to a level of success so they can provide for their families is the goal. Plus, I’ve always just loved the idea of groups and crews.

How do you envision your label Concrete Rekordz growing, say five or 10 years from now?

Man, that’s more than enough time. You could say one year from now. But five or 10 years from now? That’s much more time than any artist needs to become successful. I want to make sure I say that. With today’s time, and internet [platforms], six months is all you need. But in five years, I plan to have four moguls, doing their own things, starting their own labels.

Your last album, Let’s Start Here was a sonic risk, as you experimented with psychedelic sounds. What kind of sounds are you exploring for your next project?

I can’t tell you, my guy. But what I will tell you is that I’m definitely not done taking risks. I can’t say what I’m doing next, but I can say that I’m not done taking risks. That wasn’t a one-and-done.

You also have an album with James Blake coming out soon. What can you tell us about that?

I’m really excited about it. It’s really amazing. When [artists] make collab projects, I think a lot of times, they don’t access the full extent of what could be. Me and James really connected and just created a brotherhood. We made a really special project that is far beyond both of us, and I’m super excited for it to come out.

Can you give us a hint as to when it’s going to drop?

It keeps getting pushed back, man. It was it was supposed to come out this month. But I don’t know if it will. But it’s done. Mixed and mastered.

So earlier this week, you said that some rappers are angry because they’re “ugly as f*ck,” and therefore, lack confidence. What would you say is the key to maintaining confidence?

[Laughs] Well, I was just talking sh*t. But, I don’t know, man. I don’t take things too serious. I enjoy the life that I was given and try to stay stress-free. I’m well aware of the blessings and the cards I was dealt, and I’m just grateful. I think I can I can only speak for myself when I say that it’s very easy to be happy.

It’s been about a decade since you moved from Atlanta to New York to pursue music. As an artist, and now, the owner of your own label, what would you say is the biggest thing you’ve learned in your career?

Staying true to yourself and not letting anyone’s negative comments bring you down. The negative side of the internet isn’t real. It’s not a real place. It’s all just trolls and make-believe. It’s not real, it doesn’t translate over into the real world.

Bryson Tiller is set to release his self-titled new album in just a few hours — and the anticipation for his first full record in four years is incredibly high. So far, he’s treated fans to two singles with “Outside” and “Calypso.”

The album also features Clara La San on “Random Access Memory” and Grammy winner Victoria Monét on “Persuasion” — two of the nineteen tracks.

For those who are hoping to stream it on Spotify, here’s what to know about when you’ll be able to hear it.

When Will Bryson Tiller’s New Album Be On Spotify?

Fans can listen to Bryson Tiller’s new album on Spotify starting at midnight ET or 9 p.m. PT, depending on what time zone you are in. It will also be out on other streaming platforms like Apple Music.

“I just feel like it wasn’t time to try to get people to believe in some new concept or some new world that I’m trying to create for people,” Tiller previously shared. “I feel now is the time to just show people what I’m capable of.”

It was likely only a matter of time until Kamasi Washington and André 3000 teamed up. After all, André has spent the last half-decade wandering around playing woodwinds and Washington is one of the foremost big-band jazz revivalists working in music today. Sure enough, they’ve released their first collaboration, “Dream State,” complete with a well-suited, avant-garde music video. The track’s actually long enough that YouTube imposes its obnoxious ads on it before the first movement is even over, but the conversation between the two artists’ chosen instruments — sax and flute — is hypnotically engaging enough to make it worth sitting through a Fiji tourism commercial. Hell, I’d even pay for Premium (if I didn’t already have it and write it off on my taxes).

The song is from Washington’s upcoming album, Fearless Movement, which is out on May 3. In the album announcement press release, Kamasi calls it his “dance album,” elaborating, “It’s not literal. Dance is movement and expression, and in a way it’s the same thing as music—expressing your spirit through your body. That’s what this album is pushing.” The project was partially inspired by the birth of his daughter, and will also feature appearances from BJ The Chicago Kid, Coast Contra, DJ Battlecat, D-Smoke, George Clinton, and of course, frequent collaborators Terrace Martin and Thundercat.

Check out the video for “Dream State” above.

GloRilla recently visited Club Shay Shay and reacted to LeBron James rapping along to “Yeah Glo!” At the time, GloRilla said, “My whole family, they big on sports. My dad and my brothers, and so it felt like a family trophy to me because they love this sh*t. Like, they watch this sh*t all day, and so all them was like, ‘You got LeBron singing your song?!’” The Memphis rapper added, “Nobody could tell me sh*t. I got LeBron’s co-sign. LeBron don’t co-sign [just] anybody.”

But nobody’s co-sign means more to GloRilla than her father’s.

Also this week, GloRilla stopped by the Tamron Hall Show and was brought to tears when Hall surprised her with a video from her father, Edwin C. Woods Sr.

“I’m the father of GloRilla, otherwise known as my baby, Gloria Woods,” he said. “I am very proud of my daughter. She has risen from humble beginnings to going to The White House. I am extremely proud of Gloria and may she have many, many more days of success.”

Meanwhile, GloRilla was crying real tears in the studio. “I love my dad so much,” she said. “He’s like one of the closest people to my heart. I love my dad.”

Glo touched on several other topics with Hall, including her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion, the origin of her birth name (Gloria Hallelujah Woods), her gospel roots, and her recent trip to The White House, which resulted in a viral video with President Joe Biden.

It’s been a little while since the latest Nine Inch Nails albums, when they simultaneously released Ghosts V: Together and Ghosts VI: Locusts in 2020. (NIN also produced Halsey’s 2021 album If I Can’t Have Love, I Want Power). Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have spent much of their energy in recent years working on film scores, but they have all sorts of other stuff on the horizon right now.

They laid it all out in a new GQ interview. For one, they spoke about a new album, with Reznor saying, “I think coming out of a stretch of a number of films in a row, I want some time of seeing where the wind blows versus: There’s a looming date on a calendar coming up and we better get our shit together. And certainly in the last few weeks I’ve been itching to do what we often do, which is just come in and let’s start something that we’re not even sure what it’s for.” Ross added, “I do feel excited about starting on the next [Nine Inch Nails] record. I think we’re in a place now where we kind of have an idea.”

They also talked about a TV show they’re working on with The Bear creator Christopher Storer, a horror film with director Mike Flanagan, a clothing line called Memory Fades, a new record label, a music festival where the duo is “going to debut as performing as composers along with a roster of other interesting people, and a collaboration with Epic Games. Basically, if you can think of it, Reznor and Ross are probably working on it.

The New York Knicks currently sit in fifth in the East, a half-game behind Orlando for fourth and one game behind Cleveland for third, slipping down the standings amid a three-game losing streak. Ever since the All-Star break, the Knicks have just been trying to hang on until they got healthy again, with Jalen Brunson carrying an immense load with Julius Randle and OG Anunoby sidelined with injuries.

Anunoby briefly returned from his elbow injury, but has missed the last eight games as it continues to bother him and the Knicks remain vague on what exactly is going on. Randle, meanwhile, has been rehabbing from a dislocated shoulder and hoped to return soon to give the team a boost going into the playoffs, but was not able to fully recover and will now have season-ending surgery.

Per Woj, specialists warned Randle that not having surgery and returning to the court could cause permanent damage to his shoulder.

The Knicks were hopeful to get healthy at the right time after Randle and Anunoby suffered their injuries at the end of January and beginning of February, but will now at least be without their All-Star forward for a playoff run and no one is quite sure when their big trade acquisition will be back in the lineup. It’s disappointing news for a Knicks team that certainly would’ve had a chance at a run to the conference finals if they were fully healthy, particularly given the shakiness of the teams around them in the East below the Celtics.

Now, the path to a deep playoff run gets much more difficult, but they can hold out hope Anunoby is able to return and play every day in the postseason and that will give them enough to challenge for a series win (or two).

Just when you probably found yourself wondering, “Where the heck is G-Eazy?” the man himself returns with a new single to show you: he’s been in the studio. On the new track, “Femme Fatale,” he was accompanied by a pair of companions whose presence played perfectly with the title: Coi Leray and Kaliii. Opening with the familiar vocal intro from 20th Century Steel Band’s oft-sampled “Heaven And Hell Is On Earth,” the track quickly pivots to Gerald’s signature Bay Area bounce and the three rappers spitting sleazy verses about stepping out for some sexual activities. The new single is accompanied by a vizualizer of G-Eazy’s face — complete with Starchild-esque makeup — projected on a nude woman’s body.

“Femme Fatale” represents the first time fans have heard from the Berkeley, California native since last April when he appeared on Vic Mensa’s “Swish” with Chance The Rapper. It’s Eazy’s first single as the primary artist since “Tulips And Roses” a month before. One potential reason for his absence from the spotlight could be the death of his mother in late 2021; one of the few songs he’s released since then was the loving tribute “Angel.” If G-Eazy is looking to release a new album soon, it’ll be his first since 2021’s These Things Happen Too, his sixth studio album, which featured appearances from Demi Lovato, E-40, EST Gee, Jack Harlow, Lil Wayne, Tyga, YG, and more.

Elizabeth Hurley stopped by Watch What Happens Live on Wednesday night to promote her steamy new movie Strictly Confidential directed by her son. (Yup, you read that.) As if that wasn’t an awkward enough topic, the actress surprisingly dove head first into the rumors that she took Prince Harry‘s virginity. It was quite a night of television.

In Harry’s memoir, Spare, the Duke of Sussex described a romantic tryst with an older British woman that ended with a surprisingly public “romp,” shall we say?

Via New York Post:

“She liked horses, quite a lot, and treated me not unlike a young stallion,” he wrote of the “older woman.”

“Quick ride, after which she’d smacked my rump and sent me off to graze,” Harry recounted in the book. “Among the many things about it that were wrong: It happened in a grassy field behind a busy pub. Obviously, someone had seen us.”

Naturally, the theories started flying about the woman’s identity, and Hurley’s name reached the top of the list. She would like everyone to know that, no, she did not deflower the young prince.

“That was ludicrous!” Hurley told Cohen about the rumors. “He said, ‘She was English. She was older than me. It was in Gloucestershire.’ And they were like, ‘Ah, it’s Elizabeth.’ It was absurd. It was ridiculous.”

Hurley took things further by admitting that she’s never spoken to Harry or even exchanged a polite handshake. “I’ve never met him in my life,” she said.

Hurley also opened up about why she wasn’t in Austin Powers: Goldmember (easily the third best Austin Powers movie!). Coincidentally, the reason happened to involve the director of her current film. According to Hurley, she was offered a role, but had to turn it down because she was pregnant at the time with her son Damian.

You can watch Hurley explain the situation below:

Now that it’s been a few days since Beyoncé dropped Cowboy Carter, it has been confirmed to Variety that she got permission to use The Beatles’ original backing track of “Blackbird” for her cover spin (called “Blackbiird“) that’s on the album.

Although Paul McCartney was listed on the credits for playing guitar and being a producer, many listeners had been wondering if Bey was able to incorporate the one from 1968. As he is credited as the main writer on the Beatles song, he likely was the one who gave her the green light to use it.

McCartney previously discussed in a 2018 interview for GQ about how he wrote the song during the Civil Rights Movement. “I just thought it’d be really good if I could write something that if it ever reached any of the people going through those problems, it might kind of give them a little bit of hope,” he said.

“In England, a ‘bird’ is a girl,” McCartney added. “So I was thinking of a Black girl going through this, you know, now’s your time to arise and set yourself free. Take these broken wings.”

For Beyoncé’s version, she brought along Tanner Adell, Tiera Kennedy, Reyna Roberts, and Brittney Spencer to sing on the track — giving it an added layer of meaning and emotion.

Check out Beyoncé’s “Blackbiird” above.

Cowboy Carter is out now via Parkwood/Columbia. Find more information here.
