R&B is losing a lot of recipes lately. D’Wayne Wiggins, co-founder and member of R&B pioneer trio Tony! Toni! Toné!, has died from cancer at age 64.
The Oakland-based band is widely credited with the revival of “old-school” soul sounds in the ’80s and ’90s, constituting a precursor to the explosion of neo-soul in the mid-90s. Wiggins was the group’s lead vocalist alongside his brother, Charles Ray Wiggins — better known as Raphael Saadiq.
Despite only releasing four albums between 1988 and 1996, Tony! Toni! Toné! is one of the most pivotal groups in R&B/soul of the past three decades; their contributions extended far beyond the group’s disbandment in 1996 following the release of their fourth album.
As producers, Wiggins and Saadiq created with some of hip-hop and R&B’s most pivotal figures, including A Tribe Called Quest, D’Angelo, En Vogue, Snoop Dogg, and more. D’Wayne’s solo accomplishments include signing Destiny’s Child to his Grass Roots Entertainment imprint, recording and producing Keyshia Cole, and running the “House Of Music” studio, at which Alicia Keys, Beyoncé, India.Arie, Jamie Foxx, and more recorded.
With broken hearts, we share with you that our beloved D`Wayne passed away this morning surrounded by family and loved ones. Over the past year, he has been privately and courageously battling bladder cancer. Through this fight, he remained committed and present for his family, his music, his fans and his community.
D’Wayne’s life was incomparable, and his music and service impacted millions around the world, including in his hometown of Oakland, California. He was a guitarist, producer, composer, philanthropist, mentor and founding member of Tony! Toni! Tone! He was deeply passionate about providing artist development and mentorship to emerging young musicians, helping to shape the early careers of many.
For now, we ask that you continue to respect our privacy. We mourn with you, and are deeply grateful for your love and support.
In Solidarity, The Wiggins Family
Mack Keane is back. The young singer, who is the son of producer Tom Keane and actress/singer Paula Mulchay, returns today with his third project, Entries, and the understanding that it’s been a while since he released a project.
“I hadn’t put out music in a long time because I was stuck on this idea that it had to be a certain way,” he tells Uproxx over a Zoom call. “I realized it didn’t need to be a certain way. There’s no ‘way’ that this really has to be. It is the way I created it to be.”
This realization helped Keane take the necessary steps to craft Entries, a project he says marks the moment of “stepping into the next phase.”
“This concept came about very naturally with these journal entries that I was doing, where it was jotting down my feelings to a beat that I made,” he continued. “I made these little camcorder videos I was just posting them on socials for fun, and it just came about naturally where I was like, I can make this a thing. I could do a little mixtape, or a tape, or a project that’s these journal entries to reintroduce Mack in a way.”
Consider Keane’s mission accomplished.
Entries marks the return of Mack Keane soulful elegance through its ten songs that put the full realm of his artistry for the world to experience. His charming songwriting is back above the surface, but so are his impressive talents as a producer, something he believes fans will be taken aback by as his production contributions from his beloved Intersections EP with producer ESTA went under the radar.
“This [Entries] project is the first domino,” he notes on our call. I want my dominoes to keep falling from this point on.”
With Entries out now, we placed Mack Keane under the Uproxx Music 20 spotlight to learn more about her influences, inspirations, and aspirations. Scroll down to discover the best of Mack Keane.
My dad had a studio in our house growing up, he’s a songwriter, producer, and mixer. We had a studio in our garage growing up, and there were always different artists cycling in and out. In my earliest memory, I remember I was on his lap in the studio and there was a board, and then there was another computer to the left of me with his producing partner Roy. I forgot, honestly, exactly what artists they had in there, but it was just that. It was a very early memory, one of those memories that’s hazy, but yeah, I was just in the studio watching this stuff happen. I remember I was pretty scared though because I’m like, “Who are these people? What is this?” That’s my earliest memory of being in the world of music.
Who or what inspired you to take music seriously?
“Who” would be Stevie Wonder. I think that music, from the first moment I heard it, I was just like, “Wow, this is the best thing I’ve ever heard. I love this.”
To be honest, as long as I can remember, this is just what I wanted to do. I think I was raised in a very musical household, with both my parents as creatives and artists as singers, and it’s just what was around me and it’s all I saw and loved and wanted to do. I had such a fun time playing piano as a kid and singing, and it was like, “This is what I’m doing!” So, I would say family inspired me, and as an artist, Stevie Wonder.
Do you know how to play an instrument? If so, which one? If not, which instrument do you want to learn how to play?
I play keys and drums. I’m trying to pick up the guitar, that’s been my one that I want to get nice with, but it is difficult. It’s a lot more technique-oriented. I need a teacher, for sure, but I’m trying to get the guitar right. I can kind of play, I could do chords and stuff, but I want to get better. I’d love to play the bass, that’s definitely one I want to play, and it would be sick to play the trumpet, honestly. That’d be tight.
That’s another thing: On Entries, the guitar was inspiring me for a lot of the songs. You could hear this guitar in everything on that project. This project has also been my journey of figuring out how to play guitar.
So, yeah: guitar, drums, keys… I want to learn bass. I want to learn trumpet. There’s this arpeggio thing that’s really sick that I want to learn. I think every instrument that you learn inspires the music that you make. So as I progress and learn another instrument, my songwriting is going to change, the music I make is going to change. I think that’s such a great way to step into a new phase of your art and your artist life. It teaches me a lot about me as an artist as I learn a new instrument.
What was your first job?
I went to college in New York, and I tried to do Postmates while I was in school, and that was really not working. I was in New York City, so I was going around trying to make that work. I also tried Rover as well. I’d say a more serious job was after college, I worked at a restaurant for a couple of years. I was a barista bartender at this restaurant for like two, two-and-a-half years. That was my first job, and it taught me a lot. Early mornings on my feet for like nine hours and I met so many personalities.
I can do latte art, but it also gave me a good appreciation for working in a restaurant with a team on your feet. It’s tiring, man. People work so hard in that industry, and really just don’t get paid a lot. Especially people in the kitchen, they’re there the full shift. I made a lot of friends that way. It was a fun environment.
What is your most prized possession?
I’m not the most material-oriented person, but if we’re talking about that, I would say my most prized possession would honestly be my Rhodes. That thing is very special to me. The fires out in LA that were happening, I was thinking, ‘Man, if the fire was coming here, what would I take?’ I’d probably take some photos, but other than that, I’m not too attached to some of those things.
What is your biggest fear?
On an existential level, my biggest fear would be at the end of my life, not feeling like I lived my life with purpose and authenticity. I think that is my biggest fear — not doing and living the way that I want to live when all is said and done. A different fear of mine is just swimming in the middle of the ocean with thousands of feet below me. Thinking about it makes me feel weird, but I’ve done it before and it’s weird.
You get 24 hours to yourself to do anything you want, with unlimited resources: What are you doing? And spare no details!
I’d probably go somewhere like Costa Rica and be amongst the forest and the beach. I’d probably have a dope crib in the jungle not too far from the beach. I’d have some of my best friends with me, definitely have music available, some substances, and just explore nature. See some animals and sh*t, walk to the beach, swim, go in the ocean, just be outside all day and enjoy it with my best friends, and just honestly, have a good time. When I want to, go walk over to a piano while I’m feeling kind of lit and sing and play some sh*t, maybe make some music, and eat good food. I’d probably have a fire chef cook up some crazy meals — breakfast, lunch, dinner, maybe some Italian food, some Japanese food, and a fire breakfast, like some bougie, diner breakfast type sh*t. Fire, pancakes, waffles, bacon, and eggs, but honestly, that. Just celebrating with my friends in a beautiful place.
What is the best song you’ve ever made?
“Sophia.”
What’s a feature you need to secure before you die?
If you could appear in a future season of a current TV show, which one would it be and why?
Probably Severance. I’m watching Severance right now and I love that show. What I like about it is it deals with humans and our brains — the way we work, the way we think, our emotions, hiding emotions, showing emotions. It feels very human-oriented about the human experience. I think for me with my art, I definitely want to share the human experience in all forms, whether it’s my experience, a story I write and make a story about. I really like that about Severance.
Which celebrity do you admire or respect for their personality and why?
I would say, in terms of music, I really like how Kendrick [Lamar] kind of goes about things. He doesn’t really need to explain himself, other than with his music and his art, whether you like him or not. I really like the way he moves: It’s pretty under the radar, but he’s very consistent with his art and what’s true to him.
I like how Keanu Reeves moves low-key, he’s cool. He’s just a cool dude. He just does dope sh*t and he’s very normal. Again, I really like celebrities that have and show their humanity.
André 3000 is one, too. Erykah Badu, I love watching her interviews. But yeah, just people that just keep their humanity and completely are themselves, and you can see that they’re just trying to be the best version of themselves that they could be and not try to be somebody they’re not, or above people.
Share your opinion on something no one could ever change your mind about.
Something nobody could change my mind about is that California is the best state. That’s kind of crazy [laughs]. People are gonna not like me for that. I love California, but you know, there’s give and take, but for the reasons why I love it.
What is the best song you’ve ever heard in your life, and what do you love about it?
The first thing that comes to my head, just because of my own personal thing with it, would be “As” by Stevie Wonder. I think just the energy, the feeling, and what they captured in the studio at that time — because at the time it was all live — whatever energy they captured in that whole record is f*cking spiritual, it’s magical. It’s moved me multiple times as the song progresses, and just the feeling that they captured. I think that’s my favorite thing about records: It’s really capturing the moment and the feeling. It’s not “perfect,” but it’s perfect, you know what I mean?
What’s your favorite city in the world to perform, and what’s a city you’re excited to perform in for the first time?
Man, I haven’t performed in many cities, but as of now, I would say LA because it’s mainly where I perform. I’m really excited to tour for my first time. I’m really excited to do some shows in Europe, Paris, and London. Excited to do some shows in New York, Atlanta, and Chicago as well.
You are throwing a music festival. Give us the dream lineup of 5 artists that will perform with you.
D’Angelo, Frank Ocean, André 3000, Kendrick Lamar, and Stevie Wonder.
What would you be doing now if it weren’t for music?
I’ve asked myself that before, and I always come back down to: nothing. This is all that I would do, but if I had to think about other interests of mine? I love everything creative, like acting, writing, I’d like to be a part of films. I’d probably do something with nature preservation. I don’t know what that would look like, but probably traveling the world, helping in some aspect. I really don’t know what that job would look like or what it would be called, but something that allows me to travel and help with nature preservation.
If you could see five years into the future or go five years into the past, which one would you pick and why?
Five years into the past because I would like to take the knowledge that I have now and give it to my younger self, so that I could be more present in my life, enjoy it, and be grateful for the people that I have around me, and some of the people that maybe I don’t have around me now. I’d like to cherish that more.
What’s one piece of advice you’d go back in time to give to your 18-year-old self?
I would probably just be like, “Yo, it’s gonna be okay. Just stop caring about what other people may or may not think. Stop trying to please people and focus on yourself and your energy and being the best you could be.” Yeah, just stop people-pleasing.
It’s 2050. The world hasn’t ended, and people are still listening to your music. How would you like it to be remembered?
I would like it to be remembered as a soundtrack to people’s lives, different eras of their lives. When I think of my favorite artists, it captures a moment of my life, and it almost reminds me of who I was and who I am. So yeah, I would like it to be remembered as a soundtrack to an era of somebody’s life. Whether it was falling in love, them going through a break-up, family troubles, an area of their life that was depressed and it helped them move forward. So just as a healer.

Stephen A. Smith is no stranger to having people mad at him about things he says on ESPN’s airwaves (or his podcast, or Fox News), but typically the backlash he faces is on social media. On Thursday night in Los Angeles, it was much more direct and face-to-face when LeBron James came over to Smith after the Lakers comeback win in overtime over the Knicks and confronted ESPN’s biggest personality.
Video of the brief but clearly tense interaction went viral on social media, and on Friday morning Smith spoke about it on First Take. According to Smith, it had nothing to do with Smith’s recent comments about James that prompted LeBron to respond on social media or the never-ending GOAT debate or anything like that. Instead it was about comments Smith has made about Bronny, and LeBron saying, in words Smith couldn’t repeat because the FCC wouldn’t allow it, that he needs to watch what he’s saying about his son.
Did this need to be a 10-minute long segment? Of course not, but despite his insistence he wasn’t going to discuss the conversation on the show, Smith got the absolute most out of it. Smith chose his usual method of defending himself by insisting there are better ways to get in contact with him to have a conversation about things, which is particularly funny because LeBron opted for the most direct route for getting in contact with him: walking straight up to him and talking to him face-to-face in a public setting. Also, it’s pretty clear LeBron wasn’t trying to engage in some intellectual debate about the merits of Smith’s arguments, but to make a very stern and clear point.
Smith continued on to explain the comments he’d made and why they weren’t attacks on Bronny but rather more comments on LeBron and how he was handling the situation. That may be true, but it’s not surprising that LeBron would take a moment to send a message to Smith as a father without caring all that much about the nuance or context of everything Smith has said.
A highlight of Griff‘s headlining Vertigo tour and supporting slot on Sabrina Carpenter’s Short N’ Sweet Tour was “Last Night’s Mascara.” The fan-favorite track has over 23 million streams on Spotify after nearly being lost in a pile of demos (it was an “album reject song,” as Griff put it). On Friday (March 7), the “Tears For Fun” singer released a music video for the cathartic song.
“It’s definitely a continuation of Vertigo, but I’m not boxing it in,” Griff said about “Last Night’s Mascara” to Rolling Stone. “It’s kind of just there. Again, it’s a bit of an experiment, so it’s not that defined in any kind of spot. But I like the idea that people could discover ‘Last Night’s Mascara’ and go back to the album and still love it in the same way and hear the same emotions and feelings. I think now I’m just in a spot where the pressure’s off. The debut album suffocating cloud is gone now.”
Ahead of releasing that debut album, Vertigo, Griff spoke to Uproxx about her love of pop music. “As soon as I learned to play chords [on the piano], I felt like I knew everything I needed to know,” she said with a laugh. “I thought, ‘Oh, I can cover and sing anything I want to now,’ because most pop songs are four chords. That was a big eureka moment for me when I started to neglect all the classical stuff. I just wanted to sing and play pop songs.”

There were only two good things that happened in the first six months of 2020. One was Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite winning Best Picture. The other: Robert Pattinson blowing up his microwave while trying to invent a pasta dish involving cornflakes and nine packs of pre-sliced cheese. Would it surprise you that, five years later, these two isolated incidents are now connected?
This weekend sees the release of Mickey 17, the long-delayed sci-fi dark comedy directed by Bong and starring Pattinson and… Pattinson. It also brings the end to another wild press tour, where the actor has talked about everything from “scent dyslexia” to his preference of getting a dog over visiting space (?), and participated in a viral TikTok game involving a cow.
Here’s the thing about Robert Pattinson: he’s a great actor, someone who excels at action (The Batman), comedy (The Lighthouse; yes, it’s a comedy), sci-fi drama (High Life), Westerns (Damsel), animation (The Boy and the Heron), and panic attacks (Good Times). But he’s also a total weirdo. Let it be known that I say this with complete and utter affection. Admiration even.
Take an incident that happened in 2011. During an interview with Matt Lauer (I must reiterate: this was 2011) on Today, Pattinson told a story about witnessing a clown car blowing up at the circus. “The little car exploded — the joke car exploded on him. Yeah, seriously,” he said. “Everyone ran out. It was terrifying… The only time I’ve ever been to a circus.” Over a decade later, Pattinson confessed he made the whole thing up. “There was absolutely no hesitation at all [in my voice],” he said in 2024 after revisiting the interview. “I’m like, ‘What on earth? Are you possessed?’ The only thing people would ever ask me about was being famous. You go into, like, a fugue state.”
This is not the only thing that Pattinson has made up because a) he was bored, and b) he’s a scamp:
Did Mr. Waterhouse lie about watching a horror movie while holding “two kitchen knives” because he was scared someone was going to break into his house? We’ll find out someday!
No offense to Timothée Chalamet, who was very good at playing Bob Dylan, but Pattinson better embodies the singer’s mischievous “I was with the carnival off and on for six years” spirit. He understands that sometimes a ridiculous lie is better than the boring truth.
Pattinson’s freakiness (not that kind; now who’s the freak?) extends beyond making sh*t up, though.
A-list stars typically don’t conceal their recognizable pipes when they’re doing voiceover work for an animated movie. Not Pattinson, though. In The Boy and The Heron, he sounds like he’s regurgitating a pile of cigarettes. He also loves doing (non-problematic) accents — the wilder, the better. Pattinson refused a dialect coach for The Devil All The Time, where he plays a fire-and-brimstone Southern reverend, and didn’t let anyone in the cast and crew hear the (insane) voice he came up with until the first day of shooting. More actors should listen to that “little gremlin” inside of them, and take wild swings like finding inspiration from Ren and Stimpy mixed with Steve Buscemi in Fargo.
There’s something Pattinson loves even more than weird accents, however: playing freaky lil’ guys. “In the last five or six years, I’ve almost exclusively played weirdos,” he said, presumably proudly, to Vanity Fair in 2020. And that was before he portrayed cinema’s most notorious loner weirdo.
The early, overwhelming success of Twilight has allowed Pattinson a creative (and financial) freedom that really only Kristen Stewart and Daniel Radcliffe can relate to. He wants “to do strange things,” and auteur filmmakers like Claire Denis, Robert Eggers, and Christopher Nolan are thrilled to work with him for his talent and for “the madness in his eyes,” as Bong told USA Today.
In that sense, Mickey 17, which features Pattinson playing multiple versions of the same character, is the perfect movie for him. He’s finally found someone who can match his freak: himself.
From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID is one of the most highly anticipated projects in hip-hop. After multiple false starts, the Chicago rapper-producer tandem has, at long last, revealed its expected release date: March 18.
In a short video called “The Darkroom – Chapter I,” Saba offers his thoughts on the process in a voiceover. Using the metaphor of learning old-school photography and developing film negatives in a darkroom, Saba narrates, “I metered correctly. I Google F-stop. I learned about aperture, ISO. We took a class, it’s gotta be something in here worth using. It’s me, I’m good at sh*t.”
However, he’s got some frustrations with his partner, who is also working behind him. “Meanwhile, he ain’t got a worry in the world,” Saba huffs. “His ass really nice like that, huh?” Saba’s intensity gets the better of him, though, as he drops several rolls of film. The elder calms him down, reminding him, “We got this… You just gotta know what you’re looking for.”
If this is a glimpse of their actual working dynamic, it’s no wonder there’ve been so many delays. Saba and No ID have put out a slew of singles over the last two years — “Back In Office,” “Hue_man Nature,” “Head.Rap,” “How To Impress God,” and “Woes Of The World” — but if Saba’s really such a perfectionist, it’s a good thing the OG, No ID, is right next to him. Otherwise, we might not get a release ever.
You can watch “The Darkroom – Chapter 1” above.
From The Private Collection Of Saba & No ID is due on 3/18 via ARTium Recordings/Pivot Gang Records, LLC. You can find more info here.
Canadian country musician Cameron Whitcomb has been busy since his time as a contestant on American Idol in 2022. After leaving the show, the 21-year-old got to work and released his debut EP, Quitter, in late 2024. He has a handful of singles to his name, most of which have landed on the US Rock and/or Canadian charts. Now, he has another candidate.
Today (March 7), Whitcomb shared “Options,” a dynamic track that fans of Mumford & Sons and Zach Bryan should enjoy. Whitcomb says of the song, “I think a huge part of what keeps me sober is knowing I’m in control. Knowing my life will be whatever I make it. My entire career, my sobriety, my choices are up to me. I have options.”
Listen to “Options” above. Below, find Whitcomb’s upcoming tour dates.

On a weekly basis, the Emmy Award-winning series Abbott Elementary grants us a comedic view at the life of education professionals. However, every so often, the audience becomes the butt of a well-placed joke. During a recent episode, it happened yet again.
While Mr. Eddie (Tyler James Williams) stepped in for the absent music teacher, the students quickly made him grow to regret his kindness. In the scene (viewable here), Williams led the conversation about their favorite throwback music, which quickly turned into an unexpected roast session.
According to the children of Abbott Elementary, songs from recording artists like 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, and Rihanna are officially oldies. Yes, you read that right. If the resurgence of Y2K fashion trends made you feel decrepit, then their music appreciation playlist will have you searching for the fountain of youth.
As the adorable kids rattled off their top throwback tunes, Williams and viewers at home couldn’t help but feel attacked. Songs that were quickly suggested included 50 Cent’s “In Da Club,” Rihanna’s “Umbrella,” Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.”
Williams tried to reel the class in saying, “Oldies are songs from another era.” But, when you’re chatting with kids born after the rise of 5G, they are technically right. But boy does it hurt.
You can catch all episode of Abbott Elementary Wednesdays on ABC or next day on Hulu.
Never to be confused with James Cameron’s Avatar movies (and the third one is still bringing title drama), Netflix’s Avatar: The Last Airbender has done the unthinkable by nearly erasing that M. Night Shyamalan movie adaptation from the public consciousness. And no doubt about it, Netflix’s significant gamble on making a live-action series (in the face of inevitable comparisons to the beloved animated Nickelodeon show) paid off with the streaming service simultaneously renewing for second and third seasons.
Since over a year has passed since the show’s initial arrival, it feels like time to check in on the followup.
Does Avatar: The Last Airbender Have A Season 2 Release Date?
Not even close. Netflix actually revealed that filming began in late February after plenty of prep including some naps and hefty casting updates, and with the show having a lengthy, CGI-laden post-production phase to come (potentially to avoid certain complaints), the show probably will not return until late 2026 or early 2027.
So, the release window is vague, and the same goes for plot, albeit with small teases from executive producers Christine Boylan and Jabbar Raisani while speaking with Tudum:
The EPs are keeping details about Season 2 close to the vest, but they did tease that we will see more of the Earth Kingdom.
“There’s no war in Ba Sing Se,” they explain, referencing a line from the original animated series. “For the Gaang, fans can expect more brilliant plans from Sokka, even more masterful bending from Katara, Appa, and Momo to be as fluffy as ever, and Aang to learn a new bending form (or two).”
Avatar: The Last Airbender‘s first season is streaming on Netflix, which is also where the animated Nickelodeon series can be found, too.
Earlier this week, Canadian singer Jessie Reyez announced the impending release of her third studio album, Paid In Memories. As she did with her most recent single, “Goliath,” Reyez introduced her newest single from the album, “Psilocybin & Daisies,” with an exuberant, stripped-down live performance video.
The performance finds Reyez and her band standing in a field surrounded by long grass and the titular flowers, playing the rock-tinged song as the “sky” behind them cycles through a psychedelic array of hues. “I wanna love you to death,” Reyez sings as she prances through the field, lost in the craving mood of the lyrics.
Reyez’s album announcement was accompanied by a video of home movie clips, over which Jessie explained the album’s title. “Emotions get lost in translation because words aren’t colored the same,” she said. “Ambition is one of those gray words for me, and success used to make me afraid. But it’s not that deep. You live some life, you make some art, and you find your way. So thank God, because in love, in money, in spirit, and memories, b*tch: I’m f*cking paid.”
She also shared a photo from her eighth grade yearbook, accompanied by her younger self’s ambitions: “achieve fame, go platinum, get rich.” As she hasn’t shared the tracklist yet, fans can only speculate whether previously released singles like “Shut Up” with Big Sean and “Ridin” with Lil Wayne will appear on it.
Watch Jessie Reyez’s “Psilocybin & Daisies” live performance video above.
Paid In Memories is due on 3/28 via FMLY / Island Records.
