Ava DuVernay Hopes ‘Home Sweet Home’ Can Ride the ‘Ted Lasso’ Kindness Wave

Mark Lanegan, a revered figure in rock and roll since the 1980s, has passed away on Tuesday morning (February 22.) His death was announced through his official Twitter account.

Chicago rapper Chris Crack has achieved a dedicated cult following for his prolific output (four projects in 2020 and two in 2021), the consistent strength of his lyricism, and his riotous sense of humor. You just aren't beating song titles like "Jesus Dropped The Charges," "Side Pussy Might Save The Marriage," and "Ice Cream Machine Wasn't Broke in the '90s," so don't even try.

Mura Masa has dropped new song "bbycakes" with Lil Uzi Vert, PinkPantheress and Shygirl. The all-star link-up is the first taste of the U.K.

Griff — who makes production-focused, Stones Throw-adjacent hip-hop — and Slic — whose warped pop songs play like stripped-down miniatures of early Grimes tracks — aren't an immediately obvious pairing. But their new collab capitalizes on their mutual penchant for retrofuturist sounds, resulting in an industrial techno bop unlike anything either of them has produced on their own.

Soulja Boy and Lil Yachty, and YouTube personality Jake Paul, are among the defendants in a class action lawsuit over an alleged cryptocurrency “pump and dump” scheme.As reported by ClassAction.org, a lawsuit claims that Soulja, Yachty and Paul, as well as musician Nick Carter and YouTuber Ben Phillips, were recruited by the company SafeMoon to misleadingly promote and sell the cryptocurrency token ‘V1’.It is alleged that the endorsements were intended to artificially inflate the currency’s value, allowing founder and CEO Braden John Karony and other executives to sell their holdings for a profit while numbers were high.The suit says that the so-called ‘pump and dump’ strategy saw the value of the SafeMoon token rise “astronomically” after its creation in March 2021. It claims that the trading volume for SafeMoon tokens shot up a staggering 875 percent within nine days of the celebrity-driven marketing campaign, peaking at $191.6 million on April 22, according to the complaint.Central to the lawsuit is SafeMoon’s promise to create a designated ‘wallet’, in which investors would “have a better place” to hold their tokens.
