• ASAP Twelvyy Drops New Song 'LORD' Ahead Of Upcoming Mixtape Release [LISTEN]

    A$AP Mob's motto, "Love Over Riches and Death" -- "L.O.R.D." for short -- was supposed to drive their collaborative album, which has now been shelved. The phrase lives on, though, in A$AP Twelvyy's latest single "LORD." The track features production from Buda Da Future and GrandMuzik on the production side and lyrically explores the struggle that comes with having fame and riches.

  • Britney Spears: "Pretty Girls" Singer Calls Audience Member "F--king Assh-les" During Piece of Me Show In Las Vegas [WATCH]

  • Lil Wayne Reportedly Being Sued by Ex-Bus Driver for Assault, Emotional Distress

    Now the shoe is on the other foot. According to a new report by the (New York) Daily News, Lil Wayne is being sued by his ex-bus driver for assault and emotional distress after making threats toward the man on the road. The "Start a Fire" rapper is accused of becoming angry and pulling a gun on his tour bus driver last August after stopping the vehicle to fill up on gas after a concert near Buffalo. Lil Wayne is currently embroiled in a protracted and nasty lawsuit with his parent label Cash Money Records, which will make this lawsuit more difficult to deal with.

  • Robert Sirota on 'Spindrift' with Sandbox Percussion, Concerts in Park Slope and Why He's Not Going on Nadia's 'Meet The Composer' Podcast

    With both European bona fides (that Watson fellowship with Nadia Boulanger in Paris) and studies with composers that can sound European (those PhD lessons with Leon Kirchner at Harvard), American composer Robert Sirota remains precisely that: a quintessentially American composer. In his mature works, thorny chromaticism often plays nicely within rounded, deliberate forms. And there's always a true economy of means -- no motive where none intended. European-inspired, maybe, but his is a curious blend, no doubt informed by Sirota's many academic appointments up and down America's eastern seaboard (NYU, BU, Peabody, Manhattan School of Music). Not that Robert Sirota is an ivory tower, himself. Case in point: Sirota's brand new, beguiling work for Sandbox Percussion, Spindrift.
