Offset and Hit-Boy have a banger on their hands. On their new single, “2 Live,” the two pay homage to Miami rap legends 2 Live Crew.

Both the superproducer and the Migos member show off their rap chops over the bouncy, strip-club-ready beat, on which, classic 2 Live Crew adlibs can be heard throughout.

“2 Live, 2 Live, b*tch, she get freaky like an Uncle Luke album,” raps Hit-Boy on the song’s chorus.

Both hip-hop stars show their chemistry throughout the track, as they bounce off of each other’s bars.

On Offset‘s verse, he wows the ladies with his charm and his style, rapping “Ring around the rosey / I bought her Chanel / Now takin’ pictures posin’.”

While it’s unclear whether “2 Live” will be a standalone single or a part of Offset’s or Hit-Boy’s upcoming projects, the latter teased a few concepts for albums and mixtapes last year during an interview with XXL.

“I been seeing a lot of people saying I should do a compilation of my own with my beats and just different artists,” he said. “That’s something I wanna turn up on. Look out for that Hit-Boy compilation. My rap album, too. I got all types of joints coming.”

Logic dropped his new song, “Wake Up,” featuring Lucy Rose. The track is a glimpse of College Park, the rapper’s first album as an independent artist. Introduced by a mesmerizing electronic beat, he slowly weaves in the vocals to reach full volume — and it repeats “everyday, wake up,” similar to an alarm.

While the vocal repetition might feel a little disorienting, the transitions he still manages to make work perfectly. “Look in the mirror / Couldn’t see that man,” he rhymes at an incredibly fast pace before slowing down to take a breather.

There are also some incredibly poignant lyrics about Logic reflecting on his mindset and state of his life. “I took a ride through my city the other day / Wonder what would have happened if it all went the other way / Jump in the whip, now I reminisce / On the days when I was running round the Ave.”

Rose is introduced at the very end of the song as a voiceover of sorts. She tells the story behind what inspired the title College Park, as it was a place in 2011 where Logic drove with his friends. As she describes, it was an altering journey of a ride.

At long last, PartyNextDoor is back with new music. On his new single, “Her Old Friends,” Party looks back on a past relationship, seeing where things went wrong. He concludes that his ex and her old friends are to blame for his and her downfall.

The song is produced by OG Parker, and opens with a soft, sultry guitar. The percussion then kicks in, giving the song an angsty, bitter feel.

“F*ck all my b*tch’s old friends / Y’all let that girl f*ck anybody / She out here catching everybody ” he sings on the song’s chorus.

Over the past few years, Party has worked on projects for the likes of Drake, Diddy, and more. Though he remains relatively reclusive on social media, he is said to be more open and outward toward people he’s close with.

Last year, Uproxx spoke with OG Parker about how his other PartyNextDoor collaboration “No Fuss” came together.

“He’s literally like my brother so it’s a little different,” Parker said “He’s a very secretive person, he keeps to himself and he only f*cks with people he feels like are family.”

PartyNextDoor is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

On the heels of his massive hit, “Billie Eilish,” Philly-based musician Armani White has dropped his new song, “Goated” — and he brought Denzel Curry along for the ride… AKA their collab.

“Legends on 3, 2, 1, let’s go,” kicks off the track with some creative lyricism and a hypnotic beat. Even in the opening lines, his repetition of “goated” seamlessly blends into “Please don’t go there with me.”

“Poppin down Miami Beach / Pull up like Lebron with the Heat,” White rhymes in the second verse. There are even some additional name drops for what appears to be wordplay about Rihanna, Megan Thee Stallion, and Doja Cat.

“You say you love me like you love him / You lying / You know your worth / For what it’s worth, I could buy it,” White adds on the slowed-down bridge of the song. Still, it picks right back up again as Curry enters with some serious energy. From start to finish, “Goated” is just a song that will grip listeners’ attention.

The trailer for the music video finds White posing in front of photographers as he jokingly flexes his muscles. It also teases an appearance from none other than Floyd Mayweather.

Dan Auerbach is on the search for a bright light on The Arcs’ new single, “Sunshine.” Comprised of Auerbach, who is also the lead vocalist and guitarist of The Black Keys, as well as Leon Michels, Nick Movshon, Homer Steinweiss, and Richard Swift, who died in 2018, their newest track contains background vocals and percussion from the latter, as it was written and recorded shortly before his death.

“Tell me ’cause I wanna know / In Louisiana, our lucks gettin’ low / Been workin’ / We’re weak in the knees, ’bout to bust / Now won’t you make some time for us,” sings Auerbach in the song’s opening verse.

The song is featured on The Arcs’ upcoming second album, Electrophonic Chronic, which arrives later this month. According to Auerbach, making this album was a form of catharsis as he grieved Swift’s untimely death.

“This new record is all about honoring Swift,” Auerbach said in a statement. “It’s a way for us to say goodbye to him, by revisiting him playing and, laughing, singing. It was heavy at times, but I think it was really helpful to do it.”

After Zack Snyder recently converted Stephen Colbert’s talk show into an action-packed adventure, Colbert invited M. Night Shyamalan to put his own eerie spin on the format, and the twisty filmmaker delivered all the way to the shocking end.

The Late Show with Stephen Colbert isn’t the obvious candidate for thrilling psychodrama, what with its well-lit stage and staid formula where people sit on a couch and talk about whatever movie they just made. Even “Movie” Night Shyamalan isn’t immune to namedropping his series Servant during his appearance. Yet what he does for the show is a revelation. The new Colbert is infused with grim unease, unsettling creatures, well-timed Goodfellas references, and a hair-raising cameo. In short, committing to this as a full concept instead of a bit would require Colbert to go into gonzo Chris Gethard comedic territory that would delightfully alienate all of his regular viewers.

Also, the budget for alien costumes would shoot right through the roof. It might be cheaper to get real aliens, but there’s enough much bottled water on set to guarantee a nasty lawsuit.

Curiously, Shyamalan didn’t mention that he has a movie in theaters on February 3rd. Knock at the Cabin, starring Dave Bautista, is based on the Paul Tremblay book where a vacationing family is forced to make impossible choices to avoid the end of the world from happening. Whether it’s a hit or not, Shyamalan will always have a fallback job directing The Late Show.

Great news for everyone who has had a healthy blood pressure readout so far this year: The Bear is returning this summer with a bigger season. FX ordered 10 episodes instead of 8, so there are bonus chances to pop the stress ball you squeeze while watching.

At the end of the first season, the gang behind The Original Beef of Chicagoland had closed down in order to revamp completely. No longer a flavor-packed sandwich joint, Carmy (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney (Ayo Edebiri), and the rest want to turn their spot into something worthy of their Michelin-starred mannerisms.

So far, showrunner Christopher Storer and FX have been frustratingly silent about the exact date we can expect The Bear to return. That trend continues!

“I know this sounds like I’m avoiding the question but part of the reason why I even wanted to make the show in the first place was that I probably become unhealthily obsessed with time in a lot of instances that created anxiety,” Storer said.

“And there’s no better setting than a restaurant for the pressures of that. In terms of Season 2, you’re gonna see them build a restaurant,” he continued. “They think they’re starting from a healthy place like a lot of other businesses but it just creates the same amount of problems and the same amount of headaches every day. So we see them have to step up in different ways. In some ways, they’ll regress but hopefully, they’ll ultimately come back together to open this thing by a very specific date.”

For now, we only have a vague date, but at least it’s not too far away.

Last night, Jack White made another crossover appearance on A&E’s hit show, American Pickers. For those who are unfamiliar with the series, the current host, Mike Wolfe, travels around America looking for rare artifacts — which he will either keep for a collection or sell for profit.

“We’re looking for amazing things buried in people’s garages and barns,” the show’s introduction explains. “What most people see as junk, we see as dollar signs. We’ll buy anything we think we can make a buck on. Each item we pick has a history all its own. And the people we meet? Well, they’re a breed all their own.”

White, who had previously been on the show back in 2012, first tried to sell a photobooth and jukebox from his Nashville-based Third Man Records. He uploaded a trailer for the new episode to his Instagram.

“Jack White wants us to stop by,” the hosts said in the clip.

“Check it out,” White greeted them, showing off an ice cream-style van filled with some vintage music tech equipment inside. “This is a mobile recording truck. We want to bring it back to life. We want to make it a studio on wheels again.

“This is incredible. We’re reviving some serious music history here,” one of the hosts added.

“I’m excited,” the other also replied.

Watch the teaser of Jack White’s American Pickers episode below.

In a sprawling profile for Variety, horror legend John Carpenter revealed that one of the stars of Memoirs of an Invisible Man made him want to stop making movies.

“It gave me a chance to make a quasi-serious movie,” Carpenter said. “But Chevy Chase, Sam Neill — who I love and had a longtime friendship with — and Warner Bros. … I worked for them, and it was pleasant. No, it wasn’t pleasant at all. I’m lying to you. It was a horror show. I really wanted to quit the business after that movie. God, I don’t want to talk about why, but let’s just say there were personalities on that film … he shall not be named who needs to be killed. No, no, no, that’s terrible. He needs to be set on fire. No, no, no. Anyway, it’s all fine. I survived it.”

So it’s either Sam Neill — with whom Carpenter made In the Mouth of Madness right afterward and crafted a lifelong bond with — or Chevy Chase — with whom he did not. You get two guesses and one of them doesn’t count.

As ever, this is the kind of story about Chase that’s become so rote that even Chase probably won’t bat an eye. Thus, let’s appreciate the story as a PSA to go check out Memoirs of an Invisible Man, a criminally underseen goofball gem that features Neill being held hostage by a floating gun (and other fantastic special effects).

Let’s also appreciate that Carpenter didn’t let that bad experience stop him from making more movies.

The Kid Laroi is back. Today (January 12), the Australian rapper teased his upcoming debut album The First Time with a cinematic new trailer.

“You never forget the first time,” he says in the clip. “The first time you fall in love. The first time you get caught. The first time you feel shame. The first real kiss.” Throughout the video are clips of him falling into a pool, skateboarding, smoking a cigarette, and sharing a kiss, replicating an A24 aesthetic.

Though he has not announced the release date for the album yet, fans will soon get a taste of it next week, as he revealed that the first single from the album drops a week from today.

It’s hard to believe this is only The Kid Laroi’s first album, as he has garnered much popularity over the past few years with his F*ck Love mixtape series. These mixtapes spawned hit singles like “Without You” and the Justin Bieber-assisted “Stay,” both of which have gone viral on TikTok.

If his debut album is anything like his mixtapes, fans are in for a real treat.

You can check out the trailer for The First Time above.
