Slum Village have returned with an electrifying new album, F.U.N., their first in almost a decade.
The 12-track project was released on Friday (May 3) and includes collaborations with Robert Glasper, Cordae, Larry June and more.
While the group have become synonymous with a certain sound since their formation almost 30 years ago, F.U.N. finds them branching out into unexpected sonic territory — but one that shares musical DNA with their hometown of Detroit.
“We wanted to just try something new, so we focused on making Disco-inspired music,” Young RJ explained in a press release,......

Rapsody and Erykah Badu have teamed up for “3:AM,” an ode to the joys of late night love.
The track, which arrived on Friday (May 3), features both artists paying homage to the people that make them feel best.
Rapsody spits: “You feel like a healer/ I know I’m imperfect/ Tho you make me feel like Jesus/ Or how God sees us/ Not afraid to show my insecurities like Issa,” cleverly referring to Issa Rae’s TV show Insecure.
She adds: “Everything I hid you always peeped it/ When it’s darkest we always attract/ The brightest people/ Baby, you a light/ You shift my whole world to......

T-Pain achieved his first No. 1 song with 2007’s “Buy U A Drank,” but the song almost didn’t happen because of his disdain for snap music at the time.
Going through his many hits for an episode of Billboard‘s Chart History series published on Thursday (May 2), Teddy Pain revealed that his album Epiphany, which housed the smash single, was seemingly finished when his A&R MempHitz suggested the addition of one last song.
“That song almost didn’t happen,” Pain explained. “You know I had my album coming and the snap craze was crazy at that point – Dem......

Rick Ross‘ custom private jet is arguably is favorite material flex, and he has now used it to once again stoke his rivalry with former collaborator Drake.
On Friday (May 3), photographs of Rozay’s Gulfstream G550 plane roughed up in a grassy field began circulating online. Reports began coming in that the aircraft made a crash landing in Dallas but thankfully left nobody injured.
Soon after, the 48-year-old himself corroborated the reports, while using the situation as an excuse to provoke the Canadian rapper as he wrote: “My jet just crashed ; Drake OvO F16 fighter jet just shot us down.”

Joe Budden is not here for Kanye West inserting himself into Drake and Kendrick Lamar‘s beef with a diss track of his own.
Ye dropped his remix to Future, Metro Boomin and Kendrick Lamar‘s “Like That” earlier this month, where he took shots at both Drizzy and J. Cole – much like K.Dot did on the original.
The track opens with West nodding to Drake’s current beef with K.Dot by saying, “Yo Dot, I got you.” And the verse ends with direct shots at Drizzy and Cole: “Y’all so out of sight, out of mind/I can’t even think......

The Compton star refers to Drake as a “pathetic master......

Kendrick Lamar‘s brand-new diss to Drake got a near-immediate answer…kind of.
On Tuesday (April 30), just a little over a month after Metro, Future and K.Dot’s “Like That” set in motion one of the most high-profile feuds in recent years, the Compton native released “euphoria” in response to Drizzy’s “Push Ups” and “Taylor Made Freestyle” rebuttals.
Soon after the scathing cut went live, an Instagram page called haus.of.drake shared a photograph of the Canadian superstar looking unimpressed and......

Conway The Machine has shared more details about his new album Slant Face Killa, revealing some of the heavyweight producers behind the project.
The Buffalo, New York rapper took to Instagram Live on Thursday (April 25) to list off some of the names he’s worked with, and also explain why he decided to changed the album title from Won’t He Do It: Side B.
“We was gonna call this shit Won’t He Do It: Side B, but too much label speculation and all that [is] why we can’t use that title no more. So I just switched the shit to Slant Face Killa,” he said. “I know a lot of people been......
