After announcing a new tour and a new pregnancy, Cardi B has, at long last, released the tracklist for her upcoming sophomore album, Am I The Drama? Perhaps reflecting the extended wait fans had to endure for the follow-up to her Grammy-winning 2018 debut, the tracklist includes 21 new songs in addition to her previously released single “Up” and the megahit “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion.
Cardi B told fans that her megahits of years past would appear on the new album, but would not affect streaming counts. The album’s features were revealed earlier this week, and include Cash Cobain, Janet Jackson, Kehlani, Lizzo, Lourdiz, Megan Thee Stallion, Selena Gomez, Summer Walker, and Tyla. You can see the tracklist below, along with the dates for Cardi’s upcoming Little Miss Drama tour.

Jay-Z’s dream of owning a casino in Times Square has been dashed. According to Billboard, the Roc Nation proposal for the New York casino was rejected by a Community Advisory Committee, which voted 4-2 against the casino despite a $15 million community investment offer. The casino would have taken over 1515 Broadway, and included hotels, shops, and restaurants, with a pledge from the casino’s ownership group to share 0.5 percent of the casino’s profits totaling up to $250 million in community investment.
The proposal could only have moved forward with the committee’s approval; the rejection will leave Roc Nation and its partners, SL Green and Caesars, looking for other options to secure one of New York’s three open licenses for a gaming establishment in the city. Times Square was considered the optimal location as it’s the city’s main tourism hub, but that doesn’t mean they couldn’t propose a different location — or increase their community investment commitment — and try again.
However, it doesn’t sound like the decision was received in the best spirits. SL Green CEO Marc Holliday called the vote result “a despicable display of cowardice, lack of leadership, lack of consideration for all the people who would benefit from this proposal” in a video posted online. Meanwhile, it seems the Advisory Community has sided with The Broadway League President Jason Laks, who opined in Deadline that it was more important to preserve the character of the neighborhood. The proposed building currently houses the Minskoff Theatre, currently hosting The Lion King.
“This was a vote to protect the magic of Broadway for the one hundred thousand New Yorkers who depend on it for their livelihoods, and for the tens of millions who come from around the world to experience it,” he said. “A casino can go anywhere, but Broadway only lives here.”
“Aren’t I better off buying this via YouTube on the exchange?”
It’s a fair question if you’re an advertiser. The YouTube exchange (Auction/YouTube Select) provides a good path when efficiency and broad reach are the goal. But look deeper and think about the value and experience that matters most for your message and business.
Think of buying ads on YouTube through the exchange as buying a ticket to a music festival. You get in, but you’re at the mercy of the crowd — sometimes stuck in the back. Buying UPROXX Direct is like being side-stage with an all-access pass.
The Perks:
– Guaranteed access to Warner Music Group’s official artist channels (Bruno Mars, Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran, Cardi B, Linkin Park)
– 100% share-of-voice on superstar video drops
– 1.5B+ monthly CTV views on the biggest screen in the house
– Counts towards Google Video Incentive Program (VIP) partner commitments
Here’s a side-by-side comparison:
Uproxx
Impact Assessment
We mentioned this last week, but it bears repeating: just look at the benefit of surrounding curated cultural moments like New Music Fridays and Award Season Surges. After the VMAs, millions of fans replayed winners’ official videos on YouTube. That surge flowed to WMG artist pages — inventory only UPROXX can guarantee.
Check out these gains and think about the impact they could have had on your campaign:
– Sombr’s weekly YouTube video views jumped +150% to more than 200M
– Alex Warren soared +43% past 25M weekly YouTube views as he took home Best New Artist
– Busta Rhymes climbed +23% beyond 15M weekly YouTube views tied to his Visionary Award moment
That kind of fan excitement and cultural adjacency is beyond rare, but it’s unlockable with UPROXX Studios.
Takeaway: The exchange buys efficiency. UPROXX delivers cultural ownership.

A remake of Anaconda was always going to be a tough sell, but the new trailer released by Sony today buys a lot of goodwill. Firstly, there’s Jack Black and Paul Rudd throwing a genial comedic take on the cheesy VHS cult horror classic, and then there’s the trailer’s subtle use of Nicki Minaj’s monster 2014 hit “Anaconda.”
Rather than playing the track outright, the trailer pushes a symphonic version of its thumping bassline throughout, sprinkling in that iconic sample of Sir Mix-A-Lot’s declaration about his own “anaconda.” Nicki’s voice never even pops up, but “Anaconda” is unmistakable. It may not be Nicki’s favorite song of hers, but she probably feels pretty good knowing the raunchy rap classic was more or less mandatory in this case.
These days, plenty of folks have complaints about the glut of movie remakes currently filling theaters (conveniently ignoring how many great original pictures there are at both the box office and the streamers). But sometimes, a truly clever spin on the formula comes along that should satisfy even the most curmudgeonly moviegoer.
So it is for Anaconda, the tongue-in-cheek remake of the 1997 schlock monster movie starring Jennifer Lopez and Ice Cube. The new film — which has been in the works since 2020 — takes a slick angle on the snaky B-movie, which is broken down pretty well in the studio synopsis:
Doug (Jack Black) and Griff (Paul Rudd) have been best friends since they were kids, and have always dreamed of remaking their all-time favorite movie: the cinematic “classic” Anaconda. When a midlife crisis pushes them to finally go for it, they head deep into the Amazon to start filming. But things get real when an actual giant anaconda appears, turning their comically chaotic movie set into a deadly situation. The movie they’re dying to make? It might just get them killed.
You can watch the Anaconda trailer above.
Anaconda is due in theaters on 12/25 through Sony Pictures Entertainment.
The Sound Check challenge has stressed out a lot of artists, but not Zedd. The DJ-producer declared he had so much fun choosing between songs that it’s now the only kind of press he wants to do. That’s high praise coming from a 23-year industry vet, and a testament to host Jeremy Hecht’s skill at picking songs that really make stars think about their choices.
Here’s how it works: Jeremy plays two songs for the guest artist, who has to choose one and explain their choice, giving Jeremy a chance to learn their musical taste. Jeremy then has to guess the artist’s life anthem, the song they’d take to a desert island, which the guest wrote down earlier on a piece of paper. Our production team has also given him a decoy song, and Jeremy has to guess which is correct based on what he’s learned in the previous rounds.
This time around, Zedd has to choose between tracks from Muse and Queen, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, Paramore and Feeder, and Kid Cudi and ASAP Rocky. The range of songs from which he has to choose is a nod to just how broad his taste has to be as a DJ, and he gives plenty of insight about his production style along the way.
Watch Zedd take on the Sound Check challenge above. New episodes of Sound Check drop every Wednesday at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Uproxx’s YouTube.
Sabrina Carpenter’s No. 1 single “Please Please Please” isn’t a scary song. It is now, though, at least as it’s heard in the new trailer for Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried’s movie The Housemaid. Instead of the original, sleek throwback pop production, the instrumentation behind Carpenter’s voice is replaced by creepy strings and other sounds that really heighten the tension.
An official description of the movie reads:
“THE HOUSEMAID is a wildly entertaining thriller starring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried, based on the best-selling book. From director Paul Feig, the film plunges audiences into a twisted world where perfection is an illusion, and nothing is as it seems. Trying to escape her past, Millie (Sweeney) accepts a job as a live-in housemaid for the wealthy Nina (Seyfried) and Andrew Winchester (Brandon Sklenar). But what begins as a dream job quickly unravels into something far more dangerous — a sexy, seductive game of secrets, scandal, and power. Behind the Winchesters’ closed doors lies a world of shocking twists that will leave you guessing until the very end.”
The movie is set to hit theaters on December 19.
Meanwhile, it was just announced that Carpenter will be one of the headliners of Coachella next year. Lola Young also just turned in a cool cover of Carpenter’s “Manchild.”
One of hip-hop’s most prolific hitmakers has passed; Omen, who produced for Beyoncé, Drake, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, and many more, has died at age 49. According to NBC News, Omen — whose real name was Sidney Brown, was found dead in his New York City apartment by his family after missing a DJ gig on Saturday night (September 13).
His sister, Nicole Iris Brown, told NBC News, “He was holistic and healthy. So we don’t know of him being sick, so this is all pretty sudden.” She also commented on his legacy, saying, “I hope people will remember that he was willing to help the younger generation. He was always big on helping younger people start their careers and get themselves into the game. It was about just the music, no matter who the artist was.”
This was certainly true of Drake, whose debut album Thank Me Later featured Omen’s production on the song “Shut It Down” featuring The-Dream. Omen had also produced Beyoncé’s 2013 song “Mine,” which appeared on her self-titled album and incidentally also featured Drake. Omen even helped Ludacris win a Grammy; he produced the song “Tell It Like It Is” from Luda’s 2006 album, Release Therapy. Throughout the late 2000s and early 2010s, he also made beats for Fabolous, Keith Murray, Redman, and Usher, as well as a number of up-and-coming acts in the blog era.
