MoneySign Suede

MoneySign Suede, a young rising rapper from Huntington Park, Calif., lost his life after he was reportedly stabbed in a shower while in prison and succumbed to the wounds. On Twitter, fans of MoneySign Suede are saluting the rapper as they mourn the loss across social media.

MoneySign Suede, real name Jaime Brugada Valdez, was signed to Atlantic Records in 2021 according to a report from the Los Angeles Times. Valdez was housed at the Correctional Training Facility (CTF) in Soledad, Calif., which is where he was found dead inside a shower stall this past Tuesday.

A statement from CTF reads as follows:

At approximately 9:55 p.m. on April 25, correctional officers responded when Brugada was not accounted for in his cell after a regular institutional count. During a search he was found unresponsive in another area of the housing unit with injuries consistent with a homicide.

Staff quickly initiated life-saving measures and summoned emergency services to transport Brugada to an on-site medical facility for treatment, where he was pronounced deceased at 10:00 p.m.

Officials have limited movement at the institution to facilitate the investigation being conducted by the CTF Investigative Services Unit, the Monterey County District Attorney’s Office and the Monterey County Coroner. The Office of the Inspector General was notified and the Monterey County Coroner will determine Brugada’s official cause of death.

MoneySign Suede released his album, Parkside Baby, last September. He also released a self-titled EP in early 2022 as well.

On Twitter, reactions to MoneySign Suede’s death continue to take place and we’ve got those reactions below.

He was 22.

A minute ago, Machine Gun Kelly ditched the rap scene to dip his toes into the pop genre of the music game, but now it seems like the Cleveland rapper is ready to once again show off his rhyme skills that many say defeated one Marshall Mathers aka Eminem back in 2018.

In a new video for their “Doja Freestyle,” Machine Gun Kelly and Cordae take to the lawn with nothing but a microphone and Central Cee’s “Doja” beat. Kelly then proceeded to drop the kind of bars that you wouldn’t really expect from someone who looks like he just got home from a Slayer concert. Spitting lines like “This off the cranium/This is a nuclear weapon, my bars are uranium/I’m spittin’ fire, this must be House of The Dragons, I’m a Targaeryan/I don’t deal with p*ssies, I’m not a veterinarian, but I might educate and slap a p*ssy boy like a disciplinarian.”

Not one to pass up the opportunity to shine on his own, Cordae continues to prove he too is a beast on the beat and went off with his own lines like “I’m from the city where n*ggas gon’ make you pay tariffs/Them n*ggas strapped like a sheriff/Promise my whole family good if a n*gga gon’ perish/They in my will like a ferris.”

They both got it in on this joint.

Check out Machine Gun Kelly and Cordae’s “Doja Freestyle” below, and let us know who bodied the track the most in the comments section.

Why Sober Spaces at Jazz Fest and Other Music Events Are So Important (Guest Column)

During my first visit to New Orleans for Jazz Fest many years ago, I experienced a profound moment that changed everything for me. The best way to describe it would be the sensation of deja-vu; like I had been here before, or more specifically that I had returned “home.” That day, the city spoke to me, and thankfully I heeded the call.

Shortly after that auspicious Jazz Fest, New Orleans became my home, and I’ve worked in the music industry here since then — at WWOZ, at Tipitina’s, in the classrooms of Tulane and with so many of our city’s talented artists. This city has provided me with a sense of purpose, a feeling of belonging, and a community of like-minded folks who share the same passion for music. It’s also given me the foundation for a meaningful life.

But the same elements that spoke so deeply to me — our rich cultural heritage and vibrant music scene — often go hand-in-hand with the city’s reputation for partying. It’s a story with which the music industry, my industry, is all too familiar, and one that often leads to addiction.

Addiction is a particularly serious issue in the music world. A 2020 study by Tulane’s Graduate School of Social Work paints a staggering picture: 56% of music industry professionals cite problematic substance use, and 80% met the cut-off for serious or moderate mental health concerns — both far above any national average.

Bill Taylor

Singer-songwriter Anders Osbourne, my good friend who helped me find the path to sobriety after I bottomed out with drugs and alcohol, had an idea about how to tackle this within the music industry. Together, we created “Send Me A Friend,” a national network of sober individuals who were “on call” to support struggling musicians and industry professionals at their gigs.

The effort was an overnight success, with more people asking for help and wanting to volunteer than we could handle. Anders and I wondered what it would take to create a cultural shift so that sobriety was embraced, supported and celebrated on a larger scale?

Our vision is shared by The Phoenix, a national sober community that embraces connection through a shared, active lifestyle that enhances and helps maintain each other’s recovery journeys. During the pandemic, we joined forces with them with a mission of creating sober-supportive change in the music space.

Today, we’re blown away to see how this movement has progressed all the way to a New Orleans institution: JazzFest. This year, I’ll be there alongside The Phoenix and Stand Together Foundation at the 1 Million Strong Wellness Retreat, a sober-supportive wellness lounge where festival attendees can relax between sets, enjoy mocktail happy hours and meet up with people in recovery and others to catch performances together.

And this isn’t about making the festival sober. It’s about giving people an opportunity to bring their whole selves to the festival, free of shame and fear. Together, we can transform the way people think about addiction by supporting new ways for sober fans to enjoy shows, ensuring touring musicians and crews have access to resources on the road, and engaging in conversations about sobriety that are free from shame and stigma and full of possibilities.

I’m proud of how far we’ve come in changing the way we approach recovery and sobriety, turning it into a celebration of inclusivity and togetherness. At this year’s Jazz Fest, we’ll continue to change the landscape not only for those who work in the music industry, but also for our audience members who want a way to engage and enjoy all this beautiful city has to offer while feeling safe, supported, and connected.

Bill Taylor is the director of music programs and strategy at The Phoenix, where he leads music activations all over the country and works with the Stand Together team on the 1 Million Strong campaign.

Priyanka Chopra Admits She Didn’t Give Nick Jonas ‘Much of a Chance’ at First

Priyanka Chopra opened up about the start of her relationship with Nick Jonas in a new interview on Thursday (April 27), and revealed it was a relationship that almost wasn’t!

“I didn’t give it much of a chance because, I was like, ‘He’s 25 years old, he’s a rockstar. I want to get married, I want to settle down, I want to have a baby,’” the Citadel star explained in TODAY‘s first-ever cover story. “I was 35 at the time. I wanted stability, and I didn’t give Nick enough credit until I went out with him on our first date. We spent the whole evening together, and I realized my husband is just like an old soul. He’s stability in human form.”

The Jonas Brothers singer persevered, and they were eventually married in two separate, lavish ceremonies in Jodhpur, India — one Hindu and one Christian — back in 2019. Nowadays, they’re parents to baby Malti Marie, and Chopra reflected in her conversation with Hoda Kotb about the tot’s scary, premature arrival.

“I remember he just held me by my shoulders,” she said of Jonas, “and I said, ‘Just tell me what to do, because I don’t know what to do.’ And he’s like, ‘Just get into the car with me.’ And we drove to the hospital. She was born, and from the moment she took her first breath to now, she’s never been without one of us, ever.” (The newborn spent 100 days in the newborn intensive care unit following her 2022 birth.)

While Citadel, Chopra’s new action series on Amazon’s Prime Video, premieres Friday (April 28), her husband’s new album with his fellow JoBros, The Album, is set to be released May 12.

Gayle Reveals the Advice Taylor Swift Gave Her on Dealing With ‘ABCDEFU’ Backlash

Gayle used to have trouble dealing with hate, but recently, she’s learned how to shake it off. That’s thanks to some advice given to her by idol-turned-confidante Taylor Swift, whom the 18-year-old Nashville musician credits with helping her put backlash into perspective when it comes to her success or her polarizing smash hit “abcdefu.”

Gayle revealed in an interview with Teen Vogue published Thursday (April 27) that, in touring with Swift and sitting next to her at award shows, she has gleaned some well-earned wisdom from the 33-year-old pop star about tuning out negativity. “She’s like, ‘Baby child. Come on. What controversy could you have had for the five minutes you’ve been making music?’” Gayle recalled Swift telling her.

“And that’s true,” the “Everybody Hates Me” singer continued. “That’s fair. It was really, really nice for her to say, when I’ve told her my biggest, deepest worries, she’s like, ‘You’re right. And it’s fine.’”

Gayle’s career skyrocketed after her angsty breakup chart-topper blew up on TikTok in 2021. There was already some people who openly scorned the trendiness and success of “abcdefu” before the 2023 Grammy nominations were announced last year, but when Gayle earned a nod for song of the year alongside Swift’s “All Too Well (10 Minute Version),” her critics got even louder. (Both she and Swift lost the category to Bonnie Raitt’s “Just Like That.”)

According to Teen Vogue, though, Swift’s advice was simple, that Gayle had to make the music she wanted and grow as a musician, and learn how to deal with people’s responses.

“[I had to decide] if I won’t take advice from you, I won’t take criticism from you,” Gayle added. “I can’t not give it all I got just because I’m scared of the possibility of people not liking it. … My music, at the very least, is supposed to make you feel something. If it’s hatred, you’re still feeling something. I’m still winning a little bit. I’ll take it.”

The young star also recounted the story of how Swift asked her to be one of the Eras Tour openers, an invitation that essentially went down the very first time Gayle met her hero at the Nashville Songwriter Association International awards ceremony last year. “She was like, ‘Oh my God, are you touring? Do you tour?’ I’m like, ‘Oh my God. Yeah, I do tour,’” she said.

“She’s like, ‘Oh my God, are you touring next year?’ I’m like, ‘Yeah, I am.’ She’s like, “That’s amazing. Do you open up for people?’ I don’t know why my dumb a– said this, but I was like, ‘I open up for people who ask me to open up for them.’ She was like, ‘I’ll call you.’ I was like, oh my God, I’m going to die.”

Foo Fighters Tie Shinedown for Most Rock & Alternative Airplay Top 10s

Foo Fighters match Shinedown for the most top 10s in the 14-year history of Billboard’s Rock & Alternative Airplay chart, as “Rescued” bounds in at No. 3 on the April 29-dated ranking.

“Rescued” starts with 4.9 million audience impressions earned in the April 14-20 tracking week, according to Luminate.

That count was accrued over just two days, as “Rescued” was released April 19.

“Rescued” is the second song to debut in the top three of Rock & Alternative Airplay in 2023, following Linkin Park’s “Lost,” which launched at No. 1 on the Feb. 25 tally and has remained atop the list since — it tallies its 10th week on top on the latest list.

Foo Fighters now boast 15 top 10s on Rock & Alternative Airplay, dating to the chart’s 2009 inception. That ties the band with Shinedown for the most top 10s, with Shinedown’s 15th, “Dead Don’t Die,” currently at No. 5 (3.9 million impressions).

Most Top 10s, Rock & Alternative Airplay:

  • 15, Foo Fighters
  • 15, Shinedown
  • 13, Cage the Elephant
  • 13, Imagine Dragons
  • 13, twenty one pilots
  • 11, The Black Keys
  • 11, Muse
  • 10, Weezer

Should it reach No. 1, “Rescued” would mark Foo Fighters’ record-extending 10th chart-topper. The next-closest acts — Cage the Elephant, Green Day and Twenty One Pilots — have six apiece.

Foo Fighters’ most recent No. 1, “Making a Fire,” crowned the survey for seven weeks in 2021. In between “Fire” and “Rescued,” they also charted with “Love Dies Young,” which peaked at No. 3 in March 2022.

Concurrently, “Rescued” starts at No. 18 on Alternative Airplay and No. 20 on Mainstream Rock Airplay.

The track also bows at Nos. 7, 23, 24 and 33 on the multimetric Hot Hard Rock Songs, Hot Alternative Songs, Hot Rock Songs and Hot Rock & Alternative Songs tallies, respectively. In addition to its radio audience, “Rescued” earned 744,000 official U.S. streams and sold 1,000 April 19-20.

That download count sends “Rescued” to a No. 1 debut on Alternative Digital Song Sales, marking Foo Fighters’ first leader in the ranking’s 12-year history. Previously, the band’s bests were No. 3 peaks with “My Hero” in 2022 (after originally becoming a hit in the late 1990s) and “Run” in 2017.

“Rescued” is the lead single from But Here We Are, Foo Fighters’ 11th studio album, due June 2. The Dave Grohl-fronted band’s first LP since 2021’s Medicine to Midnight is its first since the 2022 death of longtime drummer Taylor Hawkins, for whom a replacement has not yet been named.

Afrobeats Fresh Picks of the Month: Davido, Uncle Waffles, Asake, Inkabe Zezwe & More

As we get closer and closer to warmer weather, the song of the summer debate heats up. One of Billboard‘s front runners is Rema‘s “Calm Down” remix with Selena Gomez, but it’s not the only Afrobeats track that’s bound to bring people to the dancefloor all summer long.

The winner of our Song of the Summer Face-Off bracket game last year — Harry Styles‘ “Watermelon Sugar” — has found its African counterpart: Suté Iwar’s “SHUGA PEACH.” Listeners can sink their teeth into this juicy song, or sip on “Casamigos (Pour It In My Cup),” courtesy of Afro B and Sukihana. There’s also the breezy “Trumpet” from Olamide and Ckay, as well as Asake‘s amapiano dance floor banger “2:30” and the effortlessly gorgeous debut single from Inkabe Zezwe. But Davido‘s latest album, Timeless, ensures endless vibes that he explores through various triumphant sounds — and we clearly couldn’t get enough of it, considering we shouted out multiple tracks. Just try getting through the summer without dropping “In the Garden,” “Na Money” or “U (JUJU),” just to name a few.

We’ve highlighted 10 of our favorite new Afrobeats (and related) songs that have come out roughly within the last month. Check out our latest Fresh Picks, and catch a vibe with us by listening to our Spotify playlist below.

Davido feat. Skepta, “U (JUJU)” 

Davido and Skepta got their girls covered in the utterly enchanting “U (JUJU)” collaboration, from the former’s latest album, Timeless. The Afrobeats superstar worries if he’s stuck under a woman’s spell when he sings in the mesmerizing chorus, “You dey do me like juju, dey worry me” (a nice nod to Ice Prince’s 2011 track “Juju”), and promises her anything she so desires. Meanwhile, the British-Nigerian grime MC commends his partner for sticking by his side and reassures her he won’t leave hers.  

Sukihana & Afro B, “Casamigos (Pour It in My Cup)” 

British-Ivorian DJ/singer/songwriter Afro B and American rapper Sukihana craft a refreshing summer vibe with “Casamigos (Pour It in My Cup).” While blending his instantly party-starting vocals with her seductive, smooth melodies that slip right off her tongue, “Casamigos” isn’t just an ode to George Clooney’s ultra-premium tequila brand, but just a little taste of warmer weather and the frivolousness that it brings. Once the song’s amapiano production (courtesy of Team Solut and co-producer Oghenekevwe Bojeghre) takes hold of the song toward the end, it’ll have everyone in a chokehold.  

L.A.X, “Zaza” 

Afrobeats star L.A.X only provides the best vibes, as confirmed by his new album No Bad Vibes. On its highlight track “Zaza,” he expresses his feelings for a woman while gassing her up (“On the dance floor you fire them/ On the finish line you finish them,” he boasts in the pre-chorus) – all while staying true to his characteristically laidback demeanor. “Zaza” will have any listener whining their hips to its mesmerizing, chugging beat pattern (courtesy of Clemzy). 

Suté Iwar, “SHUGA PEACH” 

For those craving another “Watermelon Sugar”-like summer anthem, look no further than Suté Iwar’s “SHUGA PEACH” highlight track from his new album, ULTRALIGHT. The Nigerian singer’s mouth waters at the sight of a “golden lady,” whom he later describes as his “favorite late-night craving” because… well, you get the picture. Iwar wrote on his Bandcamp page that ULTRALIGHT is a “journey that takes you through a range of emotions, from the high energy and excitement of life to the introspection and self-reflection that comes with it.” Listeners experience that entire range in the 3:51 runtime of “SHUGA PEACH,” as its tender keys and sultry saxophone runs accentuate Iwar’s carnal desires, while a wavy guitar and meditative beats introduce his self-aware rap about commitment in the track’s latter half. 

Uncle Waffles, Tony Duardo, Jelly Babie & Chley, “Babiee”  

Ahead of her historic Coachella performance this month, rising amapiano star Uncle Waffles set a moody, yet mesmerizing tone on her new Asylum project. On the highlight track “Babiee” – alongside Tony Duardo, Jelly Babie and Chley – listeners tiptoe into Waffles’ world with the guidance of a pitter-pattering synth loop that’s supplemented by steadily building percussion. Babie seizes the song’s peak by praising two of South Africa’s house genres, bacardi and amapiano, before chanting hers and Waffles’ stage names until “Babiee” fizzles out in a hypnotic rhythm.

Davido feat. Morravey, “In the Garden”

A simple major-key guitar line, a stripped down drum pattern with a supplementary amapiano log drum and a positive vibe underlines this breezy, beautiful track from Timeless — but it is the power of Morravey’s voice that elevates this track into something special, and possibly the best song on the entire album. It’s at heart a wistful love song, but the driving hook — “I’ll change your status, yeah” — adds a coy determination to take the initiative, while Davido’s verse adds another layer of catchiness to a song that has the capacity to dig into your head and never leave.

Davido feat. The Cavemen. & Angélique Kidjo, “Na Money”

One of the best things about Davido’s Timeless album is how seamlessly he weaves together different styles, and “Na Money” is among the best examples, blending highlife with amapiano through this collaboration with Nigerian highlife duo The Cavemen. and iconic Beninese singer Angélique Kidjo. The result is a driving, upbeat song about the intersection of love and money, with a joyful hook and highlife horns underscoring the production. A standout for its departure from the rest of the record.

Asake, “2:30”

Asake has leaned deeply into amapiano in many of his biggest songs, and this latest single, which should be on his forthcoming next album, really drives home the point in an ode to the party life. Log drums propel the verses, while a typically-choral hook gives it some of the space and majesty that has come to define Asake’s biggest records. The only complaint — voiced with some humor by his fans online — is that the actual audio of the track isn’t even 2:30 long. And yet!

Inkabi Zezwe (Big Zulu & Sjava), “Umbayimbayi”

South African rappers and singers Big Zulu and Sjava have linked up for a joint album under the duo moniker Inkabi Zezwe, with “Umbayimbayi” as the first single off that project — and from the opening notes the song unfurls as a gorgeous piano-based ballad that sonically cuts to the soul. The song has already been certified platinum in their home country, which is hardly surprising given its vibe — the Hammond organ flourishes as the song floats to its finish, emphasizing the emotion just as much as the duo’s voices. A special record.

Olamide feat. Ckay, “Trumpet”

A Nigerian hip-hop legend teaming up with one of the most successful young Nigerian singers of the past few years, this track was always going to catch the ear — and its plaintive piano base over some Afrobeats drums gives it an instantly catchy vibe. That it’s essentially a barely-disguised ode to beautiful women and the things they do makes the title amusing, but it’s a great, understated record (sonically, at least) and an absolute earworm.

Alejandro Fernández Collects 22nd Top 10 on Latin Airplay Chart With ‘Inexperto en Olvidarte’

Alejandro Fernández adds his 22nd top 10 on Billboard’s Latin Airplay chart as “Inexperto en Olvidarte” climbs 13-5 on the April 29-dated list. Notably, it’s the first song he’s recorded in his long career that was written by two women: Amanda Coronel and Fernanda Díaz.

“Inexperto en Olvidarte” was released Jan. 6 via Universal Music Latino/UMLE, and breaks the top 10 barrier on the all-genre chart in its 13th week with a 27% gain in audience impressions, to 8 million, earned in the U.S. in the week ending April 20, according to Luminate.

The mariachi tune follows another top 10 entry, “Nunca Dudes En Llamarme” with La Arrolladora Banda El Limón de René Camacho, which peaked at No. 8 in September. “Inexperto en Olvidarte” however, marks Fernández’s first top 10 as a soloist, unassisted by any other act, since “Te Olvidé’ reached the upper echelon reaching No. 7 high in May 2020.

In total, Fernández, has amassed a total of 22 top 10s, dating back to his first entry and top 10 “A Pesar de Todo” in 1994. Further, “Inexperto” becomes his best ranking since the two-week ruler “Caballero” (Jan. 2020).

With 22 top 10s on his chart account, Fernández ties with La Arrolladora, his last top 10 collaborator, for the sixth-most top 10s among reginal Mexican acts since Latin Airplay launched in 1994. Here’s a look at the scoreboard:

  • 27, Marco Antonio Solis
  • 26, Calibre 50
  • 23, Banda El Recodo de Cruz Lizarraga
  • 23, Banda MS de Sergio Lizarraga
  • 23, Intocable
  • 22, Alejandro Fernández
  • 22, La Arrolladora Banda el Limon de Rene Camacho

As mentioned, “Inexperto” was written by two female songwriters, Amanda Coronel and Fernanda Díaz, who had collaborated prior through a Carin León track.

It concurrently returns Díaz to the top 10 on Latin Airplay: Regulo Caro’s No. 5-peaking “Cicatrices,” co-written with two other songwriters, gifted her a first top 10 in 2016 — she has placed two other top 30 tracks on the tally.

With “Inexperto,” Coronel, meanwhile, bests her previous No. 25 high entry as a songwriter also through a Caro track, “Piénsalo Bien” in 2019.

Further, “Inexperto” pushes up Regional Mexican Airplay, jumping from No. 4 to its new No. 3 peak.

What If Lady Gaga & Bradley Cooper’s ‘Shallow’ Was a Barry Gibb & Barry White Duet? ‘That’s My Jam’ Has the Answer

Step aside, Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper. Bashir Salahuddin has treated A Star Is Born fans to a new, very different version of “Shallow.”

On the next episode of That’s My Jam, premiering Monday at 10 p.m. ET on NBC, the Top Gun: Maverick actor took on the “Barry-oke” challenge, in which stars sing a popular song in the style of two famous Barrys: Barry White and Barry Gibb. When Gibb’s face appears above the song’s lyrics, the contestant must sing in a high-pitched tone to mimic the Bee Gees superstar, and if White’s face appears, the contestant channels the “Can’t Get Enough of Your Love Baby” singer’s distinctly deep vocals.

Salahuddin seamlessly flowed through pitches during the game, even switching between Barrys mid-word.
