Kanye West has returned from his Australian tour and is about to hit the studio with Lorde, according to Page Six. (Wouldn't it have made more sense for him to collab with her in Oz, since she's from the neighboring New Zealand?) The New York Post tabloid claims "sources" told them Ye is going to collaborate with the teen singer...

Brooklyn rapper Your Old Droog is no longer the mysterious voice that many suspected belonged to Nas, but if the unveiling of the Russian MC's true identity has caused you to stop caring about his material, then you are doing this music listening thing all wrong, my dude...

The new Flying Lotus album, You're Dead! (out October 7), is going to be a head trip. That's a given, as it's a Flying Lotus album, but the fourth dimension death artwork accompanying this release, combined with the jazzy sprint of his Kendrick Lamar joint "Never Catch Me," and the psychedelic sway of new song "Coronus, The Terminator" all makes it clear this will be an album y

UPDATE: Jack White's camp has released an appropriately cheeky statement on the "controversy," saying that White has "the upmost respect for the Foo Fighters and communicated with Grohl this morning." No apology to Rolling Stone, though. Read the full statement at the bottom of the post...

Fresh off signing a $1.8 million dollar deal with Sony, Brooklyn tween metal trio and rock's anointed ones Unlocking The Truth brought their sludgy dose of double bass truthiness to The Colbert Report this week. Frontman Malcolm Brickhouse (13), bassist Alec Atkins (13), and drummer Jarad Dawkins (12) sat down for an interview with the host and played a pair of tracks, "Monster" and &quo

Parks and Rec star and former ANTENNA awkward date Aubrey Plaza has been cast as the voice of Grumpy Cat, which is basically the role she was born to do. But in all honesty it's kind of excruciating that we have to talk about a Grumpy Cat Lifetime movie called Grumpy Cat's Worst Christmas Ever...

VERY IMPORTANT: Waka Flocka Flame is recruiting a personal blunt roller to be by his side at all times. THE GOOD NEWS: Anyone can enter, and this essential team member will be paid $50,000 a year. THE BAD NEWS: Seth Rogen, celebrity and noted stoner, has thrown his name into the mix, so he's obviously the frontrunner, because then they could film a documentary about it and make money off this bril

Flatbush Zombies and The Underachievers have joined forces as Clockwork Indigo, and the Brooklyn rap quintet has released the massive new single "Butterfly Effect" to announce its existence. The Zombies' Architect handled production, and the seven-minute boom-bap excursion is the type of thing you might hear from a RZA-Quentin Tarantino collaboration, with a piercing choral/string sample

Kendrick Lamar has been offering up little crumbs of information regarding his new album over the past few months, including the fact that he's working with Dr. Dre and it will be light on cameos, and today he announced the title of the lead single...

Former Saturday Night Live star Bill Hader is making his return to Studio 8H, hosting the October 11 episode with musical guest Hozier. Bill Hader's great, but the announcement is a little disappointing only because it means the Bill Murray hosting rumors turned out to be false (for now...
