Ghostface Killah And AZ Go Hard On “Double Cross”

The latest off Ghostface Killah’s “superhero-revenge concept album” is, as the kids say, straight fire. “The Battlefield” was cool and all, but “Double Cross” is a two-minute, take-no-prisoners throw down about a man wronged by fake friends. Its place in the story of 36 Seasons seems pretty clear, and it almost certainly sets up more fireworks to […]

Make Time In Your Life For This Track From Flying Lotus And DOOM

It’s “only” two minutes long, but anything from a team of Flying Lotus and DOOM is worth pausing for. The track is one of many from the music Flying Lotus contributed to the Xbox One and Playstation 4 reissues of Grand Theft Auto V (for in-game radio station FlyLo FM), but DOOM’s presence sets “Masquatch” apart. DOOM […]

Run The Jewels Are The Worst EMTs In New Video For “Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1”

Killer Mike and El-P recently talked to Pitchfork about the unexpected resounding success of Run The Jewels, with Killer Mike even intimating that he was “ready for retirement” before the duo took off. Whether that’s actually true and Mike really would’ve joined the church is a moot point now, although it’s a good thing it […]

Check Out Wu-Tang Clan’s New “Necklace”

Less than two weeks out from new album A Better Tomorrow, which will mark the 20th anniversary of Wu-Tang’s existence, the legendary collective has dropped a new single harking back to the old days. After bringing the ruckus back, this time in B minor, the Wu-Tang Clan has made a track of the reliable tradition of showing […]

Watch Lykke Li Cover Drake In London

Having already spent much of the last five months on the road, Lykke Li is still out touring in brief stints. Per Pitchfork, the singer brought more than just her own brooding tunes to the Hammersmith Apollo in London; she also covered fellow occasional moody crooner Drake’s “Hold On We’re Going Home.” Check out a video of her […]

Crying Stream ‘Get Olde/Second Wind’ In All Its Chiptune Glory

I’ve been spreading love for the joy-inducing chiptune pop of New York trio Crying in various places across the internet. We haven’t celebrated this trio at Under the Gun since they signed with Run For Cover in May, somehow, so we’ll be fixing that now. Crying is releasing the follow-up to last year’s debut EP Get Olde […]

Get Ready To Feel Again – ‘Toy Story 4’ Has Been Announced

It’s true. The increasingly sequel-happy Pixar (despite what Pixar president Ed Catmull said) are bringing back our favorite gang of anthropomorphic toys. It isn’t as another animated short or straight-to-DVD release, either – I see you, Toy Story of TERROR! and Toy Story That Time Forgot. This is Toy Story 4. Sure, we’d heard rumors of […]

Netflix Seeks Its Own ‘Game Of Thrones’ With ‘Marco Polo,’ Releases Trailer

Netflix has released the trailer for its Marco Polo series, and the company is clearly hoping for a big hit. The trailer boasts big amounts of sex and nudity, blood and warfare, and swords and samurai, coming off as Netflix’s Game of Thrones: Orient. Per Indiewire, the project has a reported budget of $90 million, and it’s brought to […]

Calvin Harris Collaborating With Everyone, Teams With Haim For “Pray To God”

Calvin Harris grows more inescapable by the day. The hit-maker is releasing his new album, Motion, next week, and its tracklist is a star-studded one. Last week brought the Ellie Goulding track, “Outside;” this week, we get the Haim collaboration. Yet to come: songs with Gwen Stefani, Big Sean, Tinashe, and more. Though odd to hear […]

BBC Radio 1 Is Rescoring ‘Drive’ With Chvrches, Jon Hopkins, The 1975, SBTRKT, More

Remember how cool the soundtrack for Drive was? It was almost as cool as Driver’s jacket, all ’80s-chic electric goodness, and it was one of the biggest reasons audiences fell in love with the film. That CD is still in my car as I type this. Now, BBC Radio is giving something that was already great another […]

‘Meow The Jewels’ Is Real, And Its Trailer Is Here To Unite Cats, Kung Fu, And Explosions

Meow The Jewels, which I will be calling Meow The Jewels: Meow That’s What I Call Music! until Killer Mike sends someone to stop me, is real.  Now we have an amazing trailer to tell us that, yes, it will be as amazing as we think it will As of writing this, the $45,100 Kickstarter goal has been surpassed by […]
