Gunna is nearly ready to unleash his forthcoming studio album One of Wun — but he won’t say when it’s coming. The rapper shared the title of the record on Monday and unveiled its accompanying cover art, created by the visual artist Calvin Clausell Jr. In the image, Gunna’s face is concealed beneath a mess of blue and white flower petals.
While the project doesn’t yet have an official release date, it will likely arrive just in time for Gunna to kick off The Bittersweet Tour with Flo Milli in May.

We’re only just starting spring, but Flo Milli is ready to take the summer with her latest album, Fine Ho, Stay. The Alabama native (whose real name is Tamia Monique Carter) has already become one of the most exciting new voices in hip-hop, building a growing fanbase by delivering cut-throat lyrics while maintaining a graceful and fashionable persona. Fine Ho, Stay serves as the final — and arguably the best — album in a trilogy of LPs that started in 2020 with Ho, Why Is You Here? (which featured the breakout song...

SXSW 2024 is in full swing, complete with a new next-to-impossible ticket. The Black Keys continued the promo run they began Thursday afternoon with a keynote Q&a with Rolling Stone‘s Angie Martoccio by heading to Mohawk, a downtown club whose capacity is just a shade smaller than the arenas and festival stages they normally play. Accordingly, many fans got turned away at the door when the fire-code capacity for the Keys’ set of blues covers was reached, well before their midnight start time. But there were tons of other...

On Wednesday night, Peso Pluma headlined a night of music that careened from música mexicana to urbano to Norteño-inflected folk at Rolling Stone’s Future of Music showcase, causing lines around the block. The next evening, the showcase pivoted in another, no less potent, direction, mixing up hip-hop with innovative sounds from Ghana, South Africa, Nigeria, and more.
Preacher, a.k.a. Keite Young, came out and showed he wasn’t messing around. Flanked by a five-piece band and 10-member choir, the singer launched right into a cover of Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah.

This is already shaping up to be an interesting year for Best New Artist at the Grammys. The category might lack a clear frontrunner so far, as it is early in the year, but we do have some serious contenders who might pick up more steam closer to voting time this fall. Plus, an open field might make it even more interesting, unlike years where the winner was rather obvious like when Olivia Rodrigo and Billie Eilish prevailed.
TikTok breakout Benson Boone might be positioning himself as the one to beat. He had already achieved some recognition before 2024 with his viral tracks “In the Stars” and “Ghost Town,” the latter of which charted on the Billboard Hot 100. However, he’s having his big break this year with the massive “Beautiful Things.” The track has led the global charts and so far peaked at number-three on the Hot 100. Boone seems like...

Note: This story contains spoilers for the “Rap Sh!t” Season 2 finale.
The Season 2 finale of Max’s “Rap Sh!t” sees up-and-coming rap group Shawna (Aida Osman) and Mia (KaMillion) cementing their management with Francois Boom (Jaboukie Young-White) as they attempt to “fast track” their success in the hip-hop world, according to showrunner Syreeta Singleton, leaving their longtime alliance with Chastity (Jonica Booth) in the dust.
“He’s shinier and he comes with shinier people,” Singleton told TheWrap of Francois Boom, pointing to rapper and songwriter Pardison Fontaine, who is introduced to Shawna and Mia by Francois at the beginning of the final episode. “What it takes to make it a lot of times it’s like alright, ‘Where am I going to get the most eyes?'”

Flo Milli is standing in her power. The rap star sat down with Rolling Stone for an episode of Green Room ahead of her show at Brooklyn Steel several weeks ago to speak on her rise in hip-hop, and how she’s learned to block out others’ perceptions of her.
“You can be a mirror to people. Sometimes when you’re living in your truth and in your power, people who are not, [they] get triggered,” she said. “You can take that and be inspired or you can be a hater and just be miserable.

It’s been eight years since Ludacris released his last solo album, and while he’s dropped some singles and features since then, the rapper appears ready to make a full return to music next year.
In a new interview with BET, Luda said, “Some music projects will be coming out” in 2024, though he declined to say what form they would take. “I don’t wanna fake, I don’t wanna stutter-step. I don’t wanna be like [André] 3000 and say, I got an album coming out. I don’t know.

Heading into the 2023 Video Music Awards, all eyes were on Taylor Swift, and she delivered. Swift swept the live awards show, winning all four of her categories that were announced during the live MTV broadcast.
Out of the 11 nominations Swift received, she won in all categories but two. Song of the Summer went to Jung Kook ft. Latto for “Seven,” and Olivia Rodrigo won Best Editing for “vampire.” Neither of these categories were presented during the live broadcast of the awards show.
But the rest — which included best pop, song of the year, best direction, artist of the year, show of the summer, album of the year, best visual effects, best cinematography and the highly coveted video of the year — all went to Swift. In fact, Swift’s Video of the Year award marks the fourth time the singer and songwriter has received this award, the most of any artist in VMAs history.

Fifty years ago, the sisterhood of hip-hop did not yet exist. The genre was still an infant, and women were fighting to have their voices heard among the founding fathers, so competition between them was more encouraged than comradeship. Yet, five decades later, emerging artist Maiya the Don finds herself in the middle of rap's women renaissance with fellow femcees supporting her at every turn. Not every up-and-coming woman rapper can say that.
"Everybody that I've engaged with has been nothing but sweet and welcoming," the 21-year-old tells Popsugar of her newfound rap friendships.
Starting out as a beauty creator on TikTok, Maiya didn't get her first taste of fame until her big moment arrived last October. "Telfy," the Brooklynite's first hit single - a flip of Sisqo's 1999 classic "Thong Song" and dubbed the official Telfar handbag anthem - was inescapable on social media as her designer-inspired, braggadocious bars made the rounds.

There was a cipher going on outside the Hip-Hop 50 Live show at Yankee Stadium. One woman took the mic, intently closing her eyes while focusing on her next bar. As I walked away, she rhymed an improvisational derivative of recuperate, before spitting “that’s not even a word, I just be sayin’ shit.” The line set an apropos tone for the day. Hip-hop was bore out of rule-shirking and boundless imagination — and it made its way to “the house that Ruth built” to celebrate its 50th anniversary.

Taylor Swift is heading into the 2023 Video Music Awards poised to break her own record. With the nomination of “Anti-Hero” for Video of the Year, Swift may be the first artist to ever win the honor four times, beating the record she set just last year.
To date, Swift is the only artist to win MTV’s Video of the Year on three separate occasions. In 2022, she took home the honor for “All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor’s Version).” In 2015, she won for “Bad Blood (featuring Kendrick Lamar),” and in 2019 she won for “You Need to Calm Down.”
Video of the Year is far from the only nomination Swift received. The singer and songwriter was nominated in eight categories altogether, including Artist of the Year, Song of the Year, Best Pop, Best Direction, Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Editing.

The 2023 BET Awards honored the 50th anniversary of hip-hop with dozens of performances that played like a musical family reunion as pioneers of the genre blazed the stage during a hostless but party-filled show held during the writers strike.
The Sugarhill Gang, Big Daddy Kane, Mc Lyte, Doug E. Fresh, Erick Sermon and Keith Murray performed Sunday at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, celebrating rap music and honoring its roots as well as its domination in pop culture.
Ja Rule, Red Man, E-40, Master P, Fat Joe, Remy Ma, Styles P, T.I., Fabolous, Trick Daddy, Trina, Uncle Luke and Skillz hit the stage, helping the four-hour-show flow during the writers strike, which several presenters acknowledged before giving out awards, including Grammy-winning singer Muni Long.
“Let’s take a moment to acknowledge and stand in solidarity with the artists who make us laugh, cry and, most important, think — our Writers Guild of America family.
