For a while now Plies has been surprisingly getting his political commentary on with his Twitter posts where he’s been pointing out the obvious fact that Donald Trump is criminal and while he’s been getting the wrath of the alt-right for his “hot takes,” the rapper is still living his best life regardless of the feathers he’s been ruffling.
Taking a break from the political spectrum to get back to his rapping career, Plies comes through with some new visuals to “Pop Yo Sh*t” where he hops out of a private jet and takes to the mic which was “coincidentally” placed right next to the plane so he can, well, pop his sh*t.
The PARTYNEXTDOOR meanwhile seems to like to go incognito whenever turning up and in his clip for “For Certain” the Canadian crooner hits up an abandoned warehouse that’s hosting an intimate and sexy soiree where half-naked bodies and bumping and grinding under some dimly lit redlights. Looks like a special kinda place.
Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from Paul featuring Big Tonka, Dyce Peso featuring Albee Al, and more.

Keke Palmer and SZA in a buddy comedy produced by Issa Rae? Sign us the hell up for that.
Deadline exclusively reports the four-time Grammy winner will make her acting debut alongside Palmer in a buddy comedy film that Rae will produce under her HOORAE banner.
ColorCreative’s Deniese Davis, Charles D. King, James Lopez, and Poppy Hanks from Macro Film Studios will also produce.
Rap Sh!t director Lawrence Lamont will sit in the director’s chair for the project, with his Rap Sh!t teammate Syreeta Singleton handling the script.
The news comes after Keke Palmer and SZA recently teamed up for an episode of Saturday Night Live with Palmer hosting while SZA was the night’s musical act.
Deadline notes the film’s plot remains a secret and that the film was a product of the CoCre lab at Sony Pictures.
The lab was created by a previous pact between ColorCreative and Columbia Pictures to find and raise emerging diverse screenwriters and help them develop and write their first studio feature using original ideas.
This Role Was An Opportunity SZA Couldn’t Pass Up
SZA was considering numerous projects before joining the buddy comedy because working alongside Palmer was an opportunity she couldn’t say no to.
As for Rae, she has been the talk of the internet lately after her Insecure co-star, Amanda Seales, mentioned their lack of a relationship on a recent episode of Shannon Shape’s podcast, Club Shay Shay.
It looks like Issa Rae is just focusing on rooting for everyone Black, putting people on, and ignoring the outside noise.
For Palmer, this latest project follows her stellar performance on Jordan Peele’s NOPE, as well as her other successful endeavors like her Emmy Award-winning self-created project Turnt Up With the Taylors, and her gameshow hosting gig, Password, which also earned her an Emmy.
We love to see it.

Mother’s Day is in two weeks, and you’re probably already panicking about what to get. No need to worry, though, gift giving is easier than you think.
If you’re looking for a thoughtful (and funny) Mother’s Day gift that wine-loving moms can get a lot of use out of, get a wine purse. And we’re not just talking about a purse that’s large enough to carry a bottle of wine; the Porto Vino Wine Tote Bag is akin to a wine flask and a purse rolled into one.
The tote bag holds up to two, 1.5-liter bottles of wine, which comes secured in a removable pouch, plus there’s a discrete drink dispenser on the purse complete with a hidden spout.

KALEO is adding additional dates to the group’s summer itinerary, announcing new dates for the multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated Icelandic rockers’ North American Payback Tour.
KALEO will begin headlining amphitheaters across the continent through the fall, kicking off at Hayden Homes Amphitheatre in Bend, Ore., on Aug. 25. The upcoming run will feature support from Chance Peña, Hembree and Larkin Poe on select dates.
Ticket presales for the newly announced dates begin Tuesday (April 30) at 10 a.m. local time, with general on-sale starting Friday (May 3) at 10 a.m. local time at officialkaleo.com.
Last week, KALEO was announced as direct support for The Rolling Stones show at Lincoln Financial Field in Philadelphia on June 11, as part of their 2024 Hackney Diamonds Tour. Then, KALEO will embark on a previously announced run of summer headlining dates starting at Dillon Amphitheatre in Dillon, Colo., on June 14, followed by a sold-out performance at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Morrison, Colo. Support for the early summer trek — which is set to visit major markets on the West Coast, wrapping up in Carnation, Wash., at Remlinger Farms on June 26 — includes Matt Maeson, Vincent Lima, Neal Francis and Reignwolf on select dates.

Last month, KALEO returned with the new single “Lonely Cowboy,” which is available on all streaming platforms and is joined by a stunning performance video shot inside Rome’s historic Colosseum. The stand-alone track notably marks the group’s first new original music in three years.

“Lonely Cowboy” hinges on a softly plucked acoustic guitar and sparse orchestration, while gruff, yet warm vocals remain the guiding force. “Guess it’s time to say goodbye to the rider of the night,” sings vocalist, guitarist, pianist, songwriter and producer JJ Julius Son as he paints a vivid picture underscored by a proud and intentional homage to Italian film composer Ennio Morricone.
JJ commented on the song, sharing, “It feels like a Spaghetti Western, and I love those vibes. My friends and family have always encouraged me to put it out, but now was the right time. It’s an important one for me.”
The Colosseum show took place in front of 250 of the group’s biggest fans at the Archeological Park of the Colosseum in Rome, joining the ranks of Ray Charles, Stevie Wonder, Billy Joel, The Cure, Elton John and Paul McCartney as the only artists to ever perform an electric concert in front of the iconic monument. Presented by VERTIGO LIVE, a leading producer of cinematic live experiences, the momentous night was captured on film and will be released as KALEO: Viva Roma in the Shadow of the Colosseum later this summer. Watch a teaser here.
