Boldy James and The Alchemist go together like peanut butter and jelly, like Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, like a Backwood and an eighth. Earlier today, they let go of a warm-up loosie that hopefully leads to another full project from Rap Game Isiah Thomas and Joe Dumars. “Ten Pints” shows off their undeniable chemistry […]
Back in June, Druski posted behind the scenes footage of what looked like a skit of himself playing a UK drill rapper. However, it turns out that he was filming a music video.

Today, the social media comedian dropped “No More Social Media” featuring UK rapper Kairo Keyz. Druski directed the video himself and he provides some humorous bars like, “Spank the opp like a baby’s bottom/That’s naughty, naughty,” delivered with a funky British accent. Kairo comes through with some funny bars, as well and references Druski’s Coulda Been Records and the Ugliest Rapper Alive from the Atlanta comedian’s Coulda Been House YouTube series.
There’s also the fact that Druski is wearing a white t-shirt sleeve as a Shiesty mask. The video and song are ridiculous in the best way possible and the beat — provided by producer Muddy — kinda bangs. Hopefully, we get more parody songs from Druski. This is his second parody song of the year, so far. He dropped “Standin on Bihness” featuring Snoop & DJ Drama in February. He put out a call to action for Coulda Been Records London auditions, as well, but that sure to be classic footage hasn’t been released yet.

Later this year he’ll be putting on the inaugural comedy and music festival Coulda Fest on September 7 at Atlanta’s State Farm Arena. DC Young Fly, 21 Savage, Lil Baby, Kai Cenat, Soulja Boy, Waka Flocka Flame, Young Dro, Roscoe Dash, Travis Porter, Yung Joc, among others and special guests are all set to make appearances.
Check out his statement explaining the festival below:
“Coulda Fest won’t be a traditional music and comedy festival. It’s going to be a celebration of Atlanta’s culture and a night full of hilarious sketches that bring us back to the special times in our city’s music history. This concept has never been done before, so I’m looking forward to bringing this vision to life.”

On Friday (May 10), producer-songwriter and TV/film composer Tommee Profitt released Covers, Vol. 2, a new 10-song collection of reworked hits featuring a variety of vocal collaborators. One of the highlights of the album is Skylar Grey’s gentle, stripped-down rendition of Linkin Park’s enduring smash “Numb,” which also received a sweeping music video on the day of the album release.

“I connected with Skylar a few years ago, and it was instantly clear that we both loved making cinematic music for movies and TV shows,” says Profitt, whose genre-twisting production work has landed synch placements in dozens of trailers and on multiple streaming platforms. “Skylar’s voice is perfect for the kind of music I love to produce.
“When I told her I was working on a covers album,” he continues, “we started brainstorming on what song we could do together, and it didn’t take long for ‘Numb’ by Linkin Park to come up. I could hear exactly in my head how her voice would sound on it… and yet she still over delivered. We wanted it to be both raw and beautiful, while climbing to an epic conclusion… It definitely feels like a movie! And the emotional depth of Skylar’s performance brings that to life in a way that most couldn’t. Her voice is so unique, and was definitely meant for this song; this was a perfect first collab!”

Meanwhile, Grey — who has scored hits as a solo artist, featured performer and as a songwriter for Eminem, Rihanna and Dr. Dre, among others — has a long-standing connection to Linkin Park: she performed the iconic hook to “Where’d You Go,” the 2006 smash from the band’s Mike Shinoda under his Fort Minor project, when Grey was still performing under the name Holly Brook. A deal with Linkin Park’s Machine Shop Records helped start her career as a teen in the mid-2000s, years before Grey was able to pay tribute to the band alongside Profitt.
“Multiple people had been telling me, ‘You should work with Tommee Profitt,’ since I really love working in the cinematic music space… and he’s the best in the biz!” says Grey. “So we finally connected over Instagram and made it happen. I’ve had writers block for about a year, so it seemed like the perfect opportunity to release a cover of one of my favorite Linkin Park songs. Linkin Park signed me to my very first record deal when I was 18, and I got to tag along on tour with them for a while, so there’s a huge nostalgic connection there.”
Linkin Park’s version of “Numb” peaked at No. 11 on the Hot 100 after being released on the band’s 2003 sophomore album Meteora. In addition to the collaboration with Grey, Covers, Vol. 2 features takes on Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit” (featuring Fleurie), Goo Goo Dolls’ “Iris” (with Ruelle) and AC/DC’s “Thunderstruck” (featuring William Joseph), among others.

In the latest preview from the quintet’s upcoming double single album How Sweet — a two-track offering due out on May 24 featuring “Bubble Gum” and the title song — fans get to see the women relaxing for the camera while engaging in the time-honored tradition of making a band seem more like a high school clique of besties than a K-pop juggernaut.
The action begins in a van, naturally, where the women blow bubble gum bubbles and weave friendship bracelets as the summery, hang-loose track builds. The rest is a montage of the five playing marbles in their apartment, where they make balloon animals and play with soap bubbles, eventually making their way to the beach for some more bubble blowing, wave frolicking and, yes, even more bubble action via bubble guns.
It’s a lot of bubbles, to be honest.
The trip ends with them packing back into the van, grooving along to the song’s laid-back beat and then running through the night with flashlights while, of course, blowing bubbles.
The two-song follow-up to NewJeans’ Jan. 2023 single album, OMG, will be followed by another single album on June 21, Supernatural, which will mark the band’s official debut in Japan; that one will feature the title track along with “Right Now” and two instrumental tracks.
To celebrate their Japanese debut, the group will host a two-day fanmeet concert, on June 26-27.
Watch the “Bubble Gum” video below.
