Pusha T teams with frequent producer Kanye West on his minimal, droning new song “Sociopath.” Throughout the track, the Good Music rapper takes a laid-back approach — shouting out a woman’s exquisite taste and marveling over charcuterie boards — over echoing vocals, 808-styled cowbell and booming synth-bass.
“New jewelries/ New taste levels, shit, she be schooling me,” Pusha T raps. “I got a chick that’ll master your card/ Nice with the Visas, passports is art.” Kash Doll pops up with a brief guest spot in the second verse, countering all of Pusha’s lines.

His hair was bleached blond. His shirt was brown plaid. His pants were blue denim. And he did not wear his trademark hipster knit cap. And, oh, there was no panel of judges to stare him down, either.
Alejandro Aranda, the “American Idol” runner-up whose unique voice, infectious confessional-style song lyrics and considerable musical abilities, was not exactly pleased when he was greeted by a sea of cell phones capturing his likeness as he sat on a small stage with his guitar. “I’m 100 percent scared of the Internet.”
But the Pomona, Calif., resident and former dishwasher who turns 25 in August might have to simply accept the fact that his unusual humble and authentic vibe on the glossy reality show has attracted quite a following as he embarks on a seven-date summer tour that kicked off in Washington, D.C., on July 8.

For a quiet and humble soul, “American Idol” Season 17 runner-up Alejandro Aranda is making a big splash this week. He announced on his Instagram account that, in addition to his sold-out seven-date summer tour that starts on July 8, he will also do a 28-date lineup of concerts in October and November.
Aranda, 25, has also signed with Hollywood Records and has been recording an album. And one of Pomona, Calif., favorite sons just released a new single, “Tonight,” an alt-rock love ballad that he performed on the “Idol” finale. It was co-written by his mentor, Twin Shadow, who made an appearance on the reality competition show as well. Aranda performed a total of seven original songs on the show, more than any other contestant previously. The other titles: “Out Loud,” “Cholo Love,” “10 Years,” “Poison,” “Blesser” and “Millennial Love.” “Tonight” is available to stream and download.

Katy Perry was right that Alejandro Aranda, the 25-year-old humble homie from Pomona, California, did change “American Idol” forever by side-stepping singing cover versions of other people’s hits and instead presenting his own music. Over the course of Season 17, he sang seven of his self-penned tunes, more than any contestant ever. He felt authentic as he put his heart and soul into both his musicianship and his vocals.
But while his insistence on singing his own originals could be seen as an act of rebellion on a reality competition built upon what Katy labeled “a karaoke show” premise, I would suggest Alejandro’s most brazen act was letting his music speak for him and refusing to divulge intimate details of life. We found out about Jeremiah Lloyd Graham‘s struggle to come out as gay to his religious parents. We learned about Wade Cota‘s abusive dad and his...

Someone Great is a Netflix film for this moment, and with authentic performances by Gina Rodriguez and Lakeith Stanfield.
It’s entirely fitting that Jennifer Kaytin Robinson’s directorial debut, the energetic Someone Great, premieres on Netflix the same day that Lizzo’s new album drops, as her music features prominently in the movie and its marketing. But more than that, Someone Great has the same vibrancy, positivity, and emphasis on investing in your own journey that makes Lizzo infectious. A film about friendship and believing in yourself (somewhat) disguised as a romantic comedy, Someone Great is a movie that knows, deep in its core that the best part of the night is getting ready with your friends.
Jenny (Gina Rodriguez) was just dumped the night before by her boyfriend of nine years, Nate (Lakeith Stanfield in a leading man in a role that practically weaponizes his abundant charisma). The...

Pusha-t and Alt-j traverse an uncanny digital world in the new video for their “In Cold Blood” collaboration, which was produced by Twin Shadow for Alt-j’s upcoming remix album, Reduxer, out September 28th.
The “In Cold Blood” clip follows a digitized version of Pusha-t as he navigates a surreal world built out of choppy, old school 3D animation. Halfway through the video, the rapper seems to uncover a crystal that transports him into a slightly different universe, which the clip’s director, Osean, said was meant to represent the...

Alt-j tapped Danny Brown and producers the Alchemist and Trooko to rework their song “Deadcrush” into a sleek jam. The track will appear on Alt-j’s upcoming remix album, Reduxer, out September 28th via Canvasback/Atlantic.
Alchemist and Trooko embrace and expand the steady, spaced-out vibe of Alt-j’s original, deepening its drum groove and slathering singer Joe Newman’s vocals in echo and reverb.

Image Source: Getty / Dimitrios Kambouris Zoë Kravitz is practically synonymous with the word cool. But given her parents - rock star Lenny Kravitz and actress Lisa Bonet - how could she not be? It might be easy to assume the 28-year-old Big Little Lies star has had it a little easier than most in Hollywood, but her path to becoming one of most sought-after actresses/singers/models out there has been incredibly interesting. Why not get to know her a little better? RelatedBig Little Lies: Time to Obsess Over Zoë Kravitz's Elvis Cover She's half Jewish.

Zoë Kravitz put her insane body on display when she hit up the beach in Miami on Friday. Clad in a black bikini, the 28-year-old actress showed off her new platinum blond 'do as she splashed around in the ocean. She also appeared to be in good spirits as she chatted with a friend, who was lounging nearby. Of course, this isn't the first time we've been blinded by Zoë's svelte figure. During her Miami beach day, Zoë was seen frolicking in the ocean and packing on the Pda with a new guy, Love star and Nocturnal Animals actor Karl Glusman.

Zeds Dead have proven to be one of Canada’s top electronic music exports over the course of their seasoned career. The Tarantino referencing duo made a considerable impression on dance music fans in the early days of dubstep before moving on to defy expectations with their penchant for genre hopping in more recent memory. Though they’ve been around for years, Zeds Dead are finally offering up their first full length studio effort today with the release of Northern Lights.
For their debut album, Zeds Dead run the full gamut with fifteen genre blending cuts that touch on future bass, garage, dubstep, hip hop, pop and more. Littered throughout its extremely varied tracklist are a hefty share of solid collaborations, with credits including Nghtmre, Diplo, Eliphant, Twin Shadow, Pusha T and others.

Zeds Dead are back with a new single, following up on the recent music video for their Diplo collaboration “Blame” and their new song “Frontlines” with Nghtmre. The Toronto based production duo teamed up with vocalist Twin Shadow for a top notch collaboration dubbed “Stardust,” giving us another taste of their upcoming studio album Northern Lights.
Like the recent Nghtmre single, “Stardust” sees Zeds Dead exploring new sonic terrain to deliver a unique production. Eschewing the bass heavy sound design that first brought the duo to prominence, they craft a somber yet ethereal tune, kicking off with crackling vinyl samples and twinkling bells as Twin Shadow’s emotive vocals take over. “Stardust” utilizes crunchy guitar riffs and acoustic sounding drums, bringing a live feel to the electronic elements presented within.

Did you ever think Lucy Liu and Snoop Dogg would be in a movie together? What if you add in Milla Jovovich and Method Man? And what if I told you the story was by James Franco? Welcome to Future World. I think James Franco is a good actor; it's just that he's become a parody of himself (sometimes, as in the case of the Veronica Mars movie, literally). So I'm not sure what to make of his new project Future World. Franco came up with the story, will act in the film, and also direct along with Bruce Thierry Cheung. Here's how Variety describes it: Set in the barren landscape of a dystopian world, where a young prince from the Oasis (one of the last known safe havens) and a robot named Ash go on a daring journey of self-discovery through the violent and desolate world of the Wastelands.

Zoë Kravitz and her boyfriend, musician Twin Shadow, hit the beach together in Miami on Thursday. The couple took a dip in the ocean and held hands as they made their way across the sand. Zoë and her man (whose real name is George Lewis, Jr.), began dating earlier this year, and we couldn't help but notice how much he resembled the actress's famous dad, Lenny Kravitz. Most recently, Zoë and George stepped out for a double date with her mom, Lisa Bonet, and stepfather Jason Momoa at the InStyle Awards, and it was definitely one of the most attractive foursomes we've seen in a while. Zoë has been no stranger to Miami Beach this year, as she was spotted there in a barely there black bikini back in March and again in July. See Zoë and her man looking hot on the beach.

Zoë Kravitz has been previously linked to handsome stars like Chris Pine, Gossip Girl star Penn Badgley, and Drake, but her latest beau is turning heads for a different reason. The singer and actress recently began dating a musician and writer named George Lewis Jr., who goes by the stage name Twin Shadow, and quickly after seeing photos of him on Zoë's social media feeds, we couldn't help but notice how much he looks like her father, rocker Lenny Kravitz. Seriously, there's one hell of a resemblance between the two, from the cropped dreads and facial hair to the tight pants, t-shirts, and hipster headwear. It's also worth noting that Zoë has become the spitting image of her famous mom, Lisa Bonet - so seeing her and Twin Shadow together is basically like a blast to the past to Lenny and Lisa's '90s courtship. Hey, experts do say that...

We last got a glimpse of Zoë in her two-piece when she vacationed in Miami with friends back in March; this time around, she was there with her new boyfriend, George Lewis Jr., a singer-songwriter who goes by the stage name Twin Shadow.
