Playboi Carti was supposed to head out on his Antagonist Tour last summer. Shortly before it was supposed to start, though, dates were pushed back to 2024. The tour was set to resume on January 14 in Salt Lake City, but now it appears that things are amiss once again.

Did Playboi Carti postpone his 2024 Antagonist Tour again?

It appears so.

The rapper’s website was updated, and now all his upcoming tour dates list the date as TBA (as Stereogum notes).

Furthermore, ticket links for individual shows have varying messages about the concerts being postponed. The Ticketmaster page for the Madison Square Garden show, for example, notes the show has a “Date & Time TBA” and says, “This event has been postponed. Your tickets will be valid on the new date when it is announced.”

So far, Carti has yet to say anything publicly about any tour status updates, it’s not clear why the tour was pushed back, and no new dates have been announced.

Meanwhile, the rapper has been sharing new music recently, including the songs “Different Day,” “2024,” “H00dByAir,” and “Backr00ms” with Travis Scott. The songs are expected to appear on a new album that’s rumored to be titled I Am Music or Music, but that has yet to be officially confirmed.

Dionne Warwick is saying a little prayer for users online who have fallen for false reports about her. On January 3, as the “Walk On By” singer browsed her favorite social media platform, X (formerly Twitter), she became bombarded with questions from users about her political connection with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. So, is Dionne Warwick involved in Robert F. Kennedy Jr’s presidential campaign fundraiser?

The short answer is no. A story published by DailyMail in December claimed that Warwick would be a featured performer during one of Kennedy’s events. However, after getting wind of the rumor, Warwick quickly dismissed the allegation in a series of posts on X.

“I don’t know anything about this event,” wrote Warwick. “I did not agree to it, and I certainly won’t be there.”

“This is absolutely ridiculous,” she continued. “If you are going to lie on my name, at least lie about something cool. Revealed: Dionne collaborates with Rihanna on new album.”

Warwick is no stranger to rubbing shoulders with US presidents (i.e., Bill Clinton) or even using her Grammy Award-winning vocals for social causes (“That’s What Friends Are For”), but this is not one of those instances. Warwick should’ve been enjoying the virtual flower-giving after being celebrated at the 46th Kennedy Center Honors ceremony, not swatting away online trolls.

In 2023, the public counted Gunna out. Most thought he would never regain his footing in the rap game. But, boy, did the “Bread & Butter” rapper prove the naysayers wrong. After finding his footing upon his release from jail, Gunna hit the studio with a point to prove. As a result of his effort, Gunna’s highly-anticipated album, A Gift And A Curse, spawned his first solo top 10 hit (“F*kumean“) and Grammy buzz.

With such a red-hot year, fans want to know if the streak can continue. So, is Gunna planning on dropping any new music in 2024? According to a screenshot captured by HipHopDX (a fellow subsidiary of Warner Music Group), the answer is yes.

On January 5, The RapCaviar Podcast, hosted by Brandon “Jinx ” Jenkins, surveyed their Instagram followers to get a feel for their most anticipated albums for 2024, of which Gunna’s name was mentioned. Gunna hasn’t maintained a relatively low profile online since gaining his freedom, but he couldn’t help but respond to the expressed interest.

Although he didn’t provide many details, his one-word response of “soon” was enough of a validation from the overjoyed fan. Gunna joins the long line of slated rap releases, including Playboi Carti, ASAP Rocky, and Cardi B, to name a few.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

For viewers, Top Boy, starring Michael Ward and Kane Robinson, is merely a high-paced fictional series showcasing the UK’s dramatized underbelly. Sadly, the violence depicted in the beloved show is all too real for those living in the country. For London native, Luther actor, and musician Idris Elba, he’s using his platform to shed light on the heartbreaking reality.

Fed up with local elected officials’ lack of action, Elba launched his community grassroots organization, Don’t Stop Your Future. In support of the movement, Elba joined forces with DB Maz for the inventive rallying cry turned single, “Knives Down.” In the MD Films-directed video, Elba takes to the floor of Parliament to demand changes.

Throughout the poignant visual, the duo shows the dozens of people who’ve lost a loved one to a knife attack. The same gut-wrenching storytelling goes for the song’s official cover artwork, which features an image of Ronan Kanda. Kanda was tragically killed in 2022 following a case of mistaken identity.

In a statement, Elba spoke about what inspired him to release the track. “I can’t stay silent as more young lives are lost to these brutal and heartless crimes,” he said. “As school returns, too many young people will not be joining their classmates, and too many grieving families have lost a young person they love in recent years. Young people are our future. Their potential deserves to be met, not taken away by violence.

Musically, things have been relatively quiet for Faye Webster. Outside of her single “Lifetime,” Webster spent most of 2023 recovering from her previously hectic 2021 and 2022. Now, she’s recharged and ready to get back into the swing of things. For Webster’s first release of 2024, she’s teaming up with Lil Yachty for their new song, “Lego Ring.”

To kick off the new year, on January 4, Webster took to her official Instagram page to tease the collaboration. The nonchalant Michelle Mercado-captured picture with Lil Yachty sent fans into a frenzy. “Putting out a new song next week,” she captioned the post.

On January 8, Webster followed up the initial post by uploading a snippet of the song. This time, instead of opting for a simple graphic, she unveiled the trailer for a video game (think Animal Crossing meets Guitar Hero) modeled after the record. As visitors put their own musical skills to the test, the instrumentation of “Lego Ring” serves as the fun fuel to keep going.

If “Lego Ring” is anywhere near as addictive as the online game, Webster will certainly earn herself a spot on Uproxx’s best songs list come December 2024.

“Lego Ring” is out on 1/12 via Secretly Canadian. Find more information here.

Kali Uchis is one of this generation’s most consistent artists. The sheer volume of music that pours out of her is pretty astounding. What is even more remarkable is that her sonic creativity spans two languages. Last year, she flexed her vocal abilities in English on Red Moon In Venus. This year, on Orquídeas, she will do it all again, but in Spanish.

In a statement, she discussed the delicate inspiration behind the forthcoming project. “The orchid is the national flower of Colombia, and we have more species of orchid than anywhere on earth,” she said. “I always felt distinctly intrigued and magnetized by the flower. This album is inspired by the timeless, eerie, mystic, striking, graceful, and sensual allure of the orchid. With this vast scope of fresh energy, I wish to redefine the way we look at Latinas in music.”

The Christmas holiday has long since passed. But if you’re in the mood for biblical stories, The Book Of Clarence has you covered. In November, to build up hype for the film, director Jeymes Samuel began to tease the supporting soundtrack back by Jay-Z.

Starting strong, Samuel dropped the lead single, “Hallelujah Heaven,” featuring Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, and Shabba Ranks. Since then, details surrounding the soundtrack have been sparse. So, when does the soundtrack for The Book Of Clarence come out?

Although an official release date has not been announced, it would be safe to assume that the project will be released in alignment with the film’s theatrical debut on January 12. Hopefully, the soundtrack will be made publicly available across streaming services the day before to give ticketholders time to absorb the project. In a press statement, Samuel shared his excitement for the musical side of the film.

“While I was working on ‘The Harder They Fall,’ and all my other projects, the story and the music for ‘The Book of Clarence’ were always there percolating in my mind,” he said. “There was never a question as to whether I would compose the score and write and perform on the soundtrack, as well as write and direct the movie. It was all one amazing journey where one depended on the other. But I also worked with the most awesome artists on our track ‘Hallelujah Heaven.’ Collaborating with Lil Wayne, Buju Banton, and Shabba Ranks was so dope; I loved getting them all on the same track.”

During a sit-down with Elliott Wilson, Jay-Z confirmed that he does appear on the soundtrack by way of an over 9-minute-long collaboration with D’Angelo.

The Book of Clarence will hit theaters on January 12. Find more information here.
