Run The Jewels Debut Futuristic ‘No Save Point’ Video During Adult Swim Festival

0

Earlier this week, Run the Jewels shared their contribution to the Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack, ‘No Save Point’. During their appearance at the Adult Swim festival on Friday (November 13), they premiered the track’s futuristic music video. Check it out below.

El-P and Killer Mike also discussed their partnership with Cyberpunk 2077 and how that influenced the making of the new track.

“I wanted to feel like you could listen to this jam in a flying car, and at the same time have a hard ass just drum break feeling jam for the exact reason that I really think hardcore dope rap is gonna be around in the future,” El-P explained. “We were trying to fuse a cinematic, futuristic sound with something that was just gonna break your neck when you heard it, and I think we kinda pulled it off.”

“The beauty with video games and movies and stuff is you get to kind of suspend disbelief and tell your truth in that mythology,” Killer Mike added. “For very real truth, in the United States, we know that medicine is better and more affordable for rich people. And we know that there are countries that exist now where poor people have to sell kidneys in order to sustain themselves. This game addresses this very serious issue in a way that’s entertaining; it’s enlightened; it’s dope — but it makes you think of the what ifs.”

After being pushed back multiple times due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Cyberpunk 2077 is now set for release on December 10. RTJ4, the group’s most recent studio album, dropped back in June.

Jeremih has been hospitalized after contracting COVID-19, according to TMZ and social media messages from his friends and past collaborators. The singer and rapper is currently in an Intensive Care Unit on a breathing ventilator, and an update on the original TMZ story notes that “his condition has recently gotten worse.”

“He’s not doing good this covid shit is real,” 50 Cent, who featured on Jeremih’s 2010 track ‘Down on Me’, wrote in an Instagram post. “He’s in ICU in Chicago.”

“Please if you can take a second to pray for my friend Jeremih,” Chance the Rapper tweeted. “He is like a brother to me and he’s ill right now. I believe in the healing power of Jesus so if you can for me please please say a prayer over him.”

Big Sean added: “Prayers up, praying for your strength Jeremih.”

UPDATE – November 18th: Jeremih’s family has shared an update on the singer’s condition in a statement to CNN. “The family believes daily prayers to God. A great team of doctors and nurses is helping him pull through,” the statement reads. “He’s not out of the woods yet, but progress is being made. The family and friends are praying that he starts breathing on his own soon, and makes a full recovery.”

“His family would like to remind the world that COVID-19 is real and not to be taken lightly,” they added. “Also, it’s important for people infected to quarantine and let their families and friends know ASAP. There’s no shame in contracting COVID-19, and people that have it need to be responsible and considerate of others.”

Watch Kamasi Washington’s Full Adult Swim Festival Set

0

Kamasi Washington performed a livestreamed show at the Adult Swim Festival last Friday (November 13). Backed by an eight-person band, he performed his 2017 EP Harmony of Difference in its entirety for the first time. Watch the full 50-minute set below.

That same day, Ariana Grande joined Thundercat for a performance of his 2015 hit ‘Them Changes’. Run The Jewels, Kaytranada, and Rico Nasty also played at the festival.

Sad13 and Bartees Strange Join Spring Silver on New Song ‘Plead Insanity’

0

Spring Silver – the solo project of DC multi-instrumentalist K Nkanza, who describes their music as “queer metal,” “post-emo,” and “they/themcore” – has released a new single titled ‘Plead Insanity’, featuring Sad13 (Sadie Dupuis of Speedy Ortiz) and Bartees Strange, along with a cover of Oneohtrix Point Never’s ‘Long Road Home’. Listen to both tracks below.

“About the Tune: Like so many people (especially right now), a big part of my life is just managing my mental state,” Nkanza explained in a statement. “It’s never been especially easy, but I think it was the hardest when I was a teenager. I was very much burdened by fear of being labeled “insane”, “crazy”. As I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized how bizarre people, culture, life in general is. Spring Silver is an expression of those feelings by revealing the edges and quirks within myself. This song brings that view to romantic love, exploring the ways it is practiced, as culturally accepted. I was lucky enough to have two artists I admire immensely provide vocals for the track. Their voices each have a lot of character AND they have the singing chops. That combination is the dream for any singer. I don’t think I told Sadie or Bartees they were harmonizing together on the song until after they each sent in their vocal tracks, haha! I wanted to surprise them.”

Last year, Spring Silver released their debut album The Natural World

16 Unsettling Stills From American Psycho (2000)

0

Directed and co-written by Mary Harron, American Psycho is a dark comedy-horror starring Christian Bale. The role of Patrick Bateman, psychopath, is widely considered to be his breakout role. He is truly terrifying as a character who appears to be a successful, well-disciplined, investment banker living in New York.

However, when night falls, he turns into a violent serial killer. His bloodlust is fuelled partly by his hatred for the shallow and vain people he surrounds himself with, including his fiancée Evelyn (Reese Witherspoon). In between his intense morning ritual – which opens the film – his work commitments, and regular fine dining, Bateman meets up with women and plans brutal ways to slaughter them.

Here are sixteen unsettling stills from American Psycho.

Benedikt and Tuvaband Release ‘My Killer’

0

Benedikt and Tuvaband joined forces to reveal their latest collaboration single ‘My Killer.’ The song focuses on the theme of relationships, a highly-discussed theme throughout many discographies during the COVID-19 crisis.

Talking about the song Benedikt said: “My Killer is an honest, introspective anthem about intense relationships abruptly ending. The lyrics also mull over the fear of death and the fear of being alone. We made the song with creative force Tuva Marschhäuser from Tuvaband right after a long COVID-19 lockdown period. So in a way it also celebrates coming together and creating something therapeutic when in a dark mood.”
