Lil Yachty and Diplo Strike Summertime G...

Lil Yachty was 12 when Jay Z released his late-career blunder “Young Forever,” which was less a soundtrack for abandon than it was trite muzak for yachts and wine spritzers. Since then, hip-hop’s curmudgeonly old guard has framed Yachty as an iconoclast for his apparent disregard of guys like Jay Z, an emcee Yachty has actually publicly revered in interviews, but whose musical relevance exists largely in another lifetime than his own. Jay, after all, wasn’t speaking to high-school crowds in 2009—but in 2017, Yachty is. Yachty’s “Forever Young,” the Diplo-produced track...

Liam Gallagher Shares Video for New Song...

Liam Gallagher’s debut solo album As You Were is due out this year. Today, he’s shared the first single from that album. It’s called “Wall of Glass,” and it’s got a slick new François Rousselet-directed music video that’s full of mirrors. Watch it below. According to Gallagher, the video’s visuals were inspired in part by James Bond and Bruce Lee films. “I did get to wear a gold Saint Laurent hooded jacket in one scene, which I convinced myself made me look like a modern day Elvis, as he loved to wear gold suits,” he told Pitchfork via email.
