Last week, Denzel Curry announced that his new album, Melt My Eyez, See Your Future, would be coming out this Friday, March 25th. The tracklist also revealed a loaded list of guest features, including 454, 6lack, Bridget Perez, Jasiah, JID, Rico Nasty, Robert Glasper, Saul Williams, Slowthai, and T-Pain. Meanwhile, the album’s producers are Cardo, DJ Khalil, Dot Da Genius, Jpegmafia, Kal Banx, Karriem Riggins, Kenny Beats, and Thundercat. Loaded, right?

As we gear up for the full release later this week, Curry has shared the T-Pain collaboration track, “Troubles,” along with an accompanying video. The clip begins with Curry on crutches, standing on stage at a jazz cabaret. He spits bars over a sleek snare drum beat as surrealist footage gets spliced in. T-Pain joins him with his glorious auto-tuned vocals and the track reaches a smoky jazz bounce. They sync up on the hook, rapping, “Got some troubles that these drugs can’t fix, we might struggle because life’s a b*tch, and you happy when your ass get rich.”

The distinct aesthetic of “Troubles” speaks to what Curry has described in a statement about the overall message of Melt My Eyez, See Your Future:

“I like traditional hip hop, I like drum and bass, I like trap, I like poetry, so a lot of that is going to be interwoven in this album including jazz and a lot of genres that I came up on as a kid and just being in my parents’ house. This album is made up of everything that I couldn’t give you on TA13OO or Imperial because I was going through depression anger issues.”

Watch the video for “Troubles” above.

Melt My Eyez, See Your Future is out 3/25 via Loma Vista Recordings. Pre-order it here.

Earlier this month, Glass Animals completed a historically long climb to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with “Heat Waves.” Then, the song stayed on top for a second week, and now, on the chart dated March 26, “Heat Waves” is No. 1 for a third total week.

With this week, the song moves into a tie, with Post Malone’s “Circles,” for fifth place on the list of most total weeks spent on the Hot 100 among No. 1 songs, with 61 weeks. It’s behind The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights” (90 weeks), LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem” (68 weeks), Adele’s “Rolling In The Deep” (65 weeks), and The Weeknd and Ariana Grande’s “Save Your Tears” (63 weeks).

Meanwhile, Imagine Dragons and JID’s “Enemy” enters the top 10 for the first time as it rises from No. 12 to 8 this week. This is JID’s first top-10 song and Imagine Dragons’ fifth. Elsewhere, The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber’s “Stay” had a big week, as it jumped from No. 5 to 2.

The band’s Dave Bayley previously told Uproxx of the hit song, “With ‘Heat Waves,’ it was coming to terms with the fact that it’s OK to understand, appreciate, and know that you’re missing someone — that it’s actually probably quite healthy. That you should let yourself do that, you shouldn’t try to bury it the whole time. It’s kind of like a eureka, euphoric moment. Or it can be.”

Brace yourselves… Kid Rock just sat down for a “rare” interview with Tucker Carlson and the preview clips have yielded some engrossing quotes, to say the least. It’s unclear what Kid Rock might have to say right that merits an appearance on the hot seat on one of the nation’s most-watched right-wing talk shows, but here we are.

The episode, which airs tonight at 5 p.m. on Fox News, is a one-on-on conversation between Russian policy apologist Carlson and mask-hater Kid Rock. In the first few clips that have surfaced, Carlson (who isn’t exactly Barbara Walters) grills Kid Rock on divisive issues like the coronavirus pandemic, Joe Biden’s presidency, and cancel culture.

“What’s your view of Fauci,” Carlson asks the aging rocker. “F*ck Fauci,” Kid Rock replies with a chuckle. “I believed all the bullsh*t in the beginning. We were kinda shooting this documentary and I’m like so embarrassed. ‘Cause everyone’s spraying all the UPS packages, spraying on the doorknobs. A couple months of that sh*t and I’m like, ‘What? So this pretty much is like… knocking out overweight unhealthy people?’ I’m like, ‘I’m good.’”

It doesn’t appear that the pair spoke much about science in their conversation, though, and this mostly served as a platform for Carlson to tee up opportunities for Kid Rock to spew conservative rhetoric. At another point, Carlson asks the rap-rocker why he hasn’t been cancelled. He replied, “I am uncancellable.” Carlson asks him to elaborate before the rock-rapper said, “I don’t give a f*ck? I’m not in bed with any big corporate things at the end of the day. There’s nobody I’m beholden to: no record companies, no corporate interests, no nothing. You can’t cancel me. I love it when they try.”

If you enjoy sensationalism with a low-key side of propaganda, tune in tonight on Fox News at 5 p.m. PT for the full interview.

After being one of the best parts of GLOW (a good show), Betty Gilpin is returning to the world of streaming with Mrs. Davis, a new series for Peacock that will see Gilpin reteam with Damon Lindelof after working together on The Hunt. Lindelof will serve as writer and executive producer along with Tara Hernandez (The Big Bang Theory, Young Sheldon) who will be the showrunner for Mrs. Davis.

As for the plot of the show, well, it sounds pretty freaking awesome. I know we’re supposed to be objective, but nuns fighting a futuristic slash possibly demonic AI? C’mon. Via Deadline:

Mrs. Davis is described as an exploration of faith versus technology — an epic battle of biblical and binary proportions. Gilpin will play a nun who goes to battle against an all-powerful Artificial Intelligence.

On top of locking down her Bride of Christ versus AI role in Mrs. Davis — again, incredible premise. — Gilpin is also set to star as Anna Nicole-Smith in a new biopic about the late model and Playmate of the Year who died of an accidental drug overdose at age 39. Titled Hurricana, the film will center on a therapist who attempts to save Smith’s life and is a “story of the immense hurricane-like force that was Smith and the fateful string of events that led her to destroy everything in her path, including herself and those closest to her.” Between this and the warrior nun who is doing battle with the computer from hell, it seems like Betty Gilpin is doing a great job of picking roles. Good for her. Better for us, but good for her.

The Atlanta Falcons thought they were a frontrunner to trade for Deshaun Watson late last week before he changed his mind and chose the Cleveland Browns after the franchise offered him a $230 million deal, fully guaranteed deal despite the quarterback still facing civil suits regarding the 22 allegations of sexual harassment and assault from massage therapists in Houston.

For the Falcons, they suddenly found themselves scrambling to save face having pushed aside longtime franchise quarterback Matt Ryan to pursue Watson. That relationship was apparently fractured enough to push the Falcons into trading Ryan and starting a rebuild some in the city wanted to happen a year ago when there was a robust draft class of quarterbacks. Instead, they now find themselves in need of a franchise quarterback heading into a draft class that is not considered strong at the quarterback position and will likely seek a stopgap veteran.

As for Ryan, he will head to the Indianapolis Colts, who traded Carson Wentz to the Washington Commanders after just one season in Indy, with the Falcons getting a third-round pick in return.

It is just the latest in a wild offseason of quarterback movement, with the AFC getting another star quarterback (although an aging one with questions to answer about how high he can still push a team). The Colts will hope Ryan can bring them the consistency they lacked with Wentz, and, when coupled with their strong defense, hope that can push them into a crowded contender tier in the AFC.

Ryan finishes his Falcons career after 14 years, one MVP award, one Super Bowl appearance, 59,735 yards, 367 touchdowns, 170 interceptions, and is almost unassailable as the best player in franchise history.

For the Falcons, they will apparently take a look at Marcus Mariota, who spent time with Arthur Smith in Tennessee, as a potential replacement for the immediate future.

Australian trio Camp Cope left people wanting more with their amazing 2018 album How To Socialize & Make Friends, which showcased singer/guitarist Georgia Maq’s quirky yet spot-on observational lyricism against clean guitars, crisp drums, and a bass line that incorporates all the instrument’s strings. In January of this year, they finally announced the long-awaited follow-up, Running With The Hurricane, out this Friday.

Today, they released the third single, “Jealous,” a slower, more dejected track than the recent ones “Running With The Hurricane” and “Blue.” In typical Camp Cope fashion, it’s as open and honest as possible with Maq confessing in a frustrated yell: “I’m so jealous / Of your dog.” Despite being aware of her own desperation, she persists in this hopeless relationship: “I want your attention / Still double texting / Like I’ve got nothing left to lose.”

Maq said about the album, “The first record was us diving into whatever Camp Cope created, the second album was us when we were in the thick of it, and then this album is about how we’ve come out the other side. And we’ve come out stronger, more loving, more peaceful and better friends.”

Listen to “Jealous” above.

Running With The Hurricane is out 3/25 via Poison City Records/Run For Cover Records. Pre-order it here.

Jared Leto is known for being just a generally weird guy who also stars in the occasional hit film, and the occasional flop. And he was also in House Of Gucci. But whenever he has to promote a film, he emerges with a whole new personality that makes him more mysterious than whoever Jared Leto was before. This time, he’s promoting two projects: WeCrashed and Morbius, so he is truly all over the place here.

In a new interview with Men’s Health, Leto proved to be even more of an enigma, speaking at length about his passion for rock climbing and stomach ulcers. The 50-year-old also refused to share his skincare secrets, after the internet frequently discusses what appears to be his eternal youth.

Yes, Leto is 50, though he does for some reason look like he’s in his thirties. Perhaps it’s the silent retreats he frequently takes in the desert, or maybe he really sacrificed himself to the Met Gala Gods. We may literally never know since he refuses to give up any information. When asked about his youthful look, Leto says, “I do have a good answer for that, but I probably won’t tell you. Just to keep everybody guessing. Really, honestly, at the end of the day, it doesn’t really matter.”

It might not matter to him, but it matters to a lot of eager fans.

Maybe he is just getting really into character for Morbius, his first Marvel movie (despite being a ‘film snob’) or maybe he just got enough hate for his House Of Gucci getup that he decided to embrace his natural, ageless face. Leto is aware of the way he looks, and the importance of looks seems to baffle him.

“I gained over 60 pounds for a role once, and it was amazing,” the actor explains, “I remember asking someone for the time in New York and they, like, recoiled. I saw people I knew who didn’t know I was filming and thought I had fallen off the—I don’t know how to describe it—that I had ‘not been taking care of myself.’ They took it as a sign of something wrong in my life. It was a really wild thing to experience that.”

To be fair, they probably recoiled because it was Jared Leto asking them for the time. But, his point still stands–most people tend to be overly observant, or overly critical, of celebrities’ looks. Maybe Leto just has good genes, or maybe he really did make a deal with a devil while he was wandering around the desert in March 2020. Who knows, but don’t expect him to tell you.

Last year, we tapped Sasha Sloan as a pop star to watch, and now, equipped with a slight name change, she’s well on her way to having a massive 2022. Now going formally by Sasha Alex Sloan, the singer-songwriter is following up like collaborations with Charlie Puth (on an alternate version of “Is It Just Me?”) and Sam Hunt (“When Was It Over?“) by dropping a brand new full-length album.

That record, I Blame The World, will be out May 13, following up her debut album, Only Child, that dropped back in 2020. And though her songs can lean nihilistic, Sloan’s writing style is definitely relatable for a generation raised during climate change and the sometimes terrifying advances of technology and social media. The lead single for the album is directly in that same vein, dubbed “WTF,” and including the opening line “Sometimes I got a hard time seeing the point to existing.”

In the video for the clip, Sasha sits frozen in an armchair while a hot iron slowly but surely sets fire to a piece of clothing behind her, and then her entire apartment. In the midst of the flames, Sasha calmly gets up, gets a drink of water, and returns to sit back down amid the flames. Ironically, her reason for being here seems to be getting the chance to sing and perform, because despite the nihilism her talent is very evident. Check out the somewhat depressing video up top if you’re in a gloomy Monday mood, and keep an ear out for more new singles dropping before her album comes out in May.

I Blame The World will be released 5/13 via RCA Records. Pre-order it here.

Pusha T is no stranger to to the fast food jingle scene. News surfaced in 2016 that he was behind McDonald’s ubiquitous “I’m Lovin’ It!” song which first appeared in 2003. Now, nearly two decades later, King Push — who recently dropped the track “Diet Coke” with Kanye West — has come over to the dark side, so to speak, and has just penned the new “Spicy Diss Fish Track” for Arby’s.

The track touts the superiority of Arby’s Spicy Fish sandwich to that of McDonald’s time-honored Filet-O-Fish as Pusha T ruthlessly dismantles the Mickey D’s sandwich, which first debuted in 1962. “I’m the reason the whole world love it, now I gotta crush it. Filet-O-Fish is sh*t and you should be disgusted,” he raps in the song’s opening bars. He spends much of the track ripping apart the square shaped McDonald’s sandwich and bodies Ronald McDonald in the process. “A little cube of fish from a clown is basic,” he adds, punctuating a verse.

The rapper took to twitter to announce his new…er…collab, saying, “Just dropped a diss track with @Arbys. Grab some popcorn and a Spicy Fish Sandwich. #ArbysSpicyFishDissTrack #ArbysPaidMeButIWouldSayThisAnyway”

On the track, which rides a battle rap beat not too far removed from something out of El-P’s early production library, Push somehow manages to get his sly cocaine rap references past the censors. As the track comes to a close and a ship sinks into the water in the video (symbolizing the demise of the now 60 year old McDonald’s sandwich), Push gets back to his roots and delivers the coke rap death punch, “If you know me and you know me well, our fish is gonna tip that scale!”

Listen to Pusha T’s “Spicy Fish Diss Track” and watch the video above.

King Princess wrapped up last week by dropping a new single, “For My Friends.” The song was the latest one suggesting a new album is on the way. Well, now one officially is.
