    The rumors are true: DJ Premier and Pete Rock will be blessing us with a new album in 2015. Premier alerted fans of the impending release via a Reddit AMA session — the news sort of slipped out after discussing a potential sequel to PRhyme, his forthcoming disc with Royce da 5'9".

  • Jonah Hill Covers Drake at VICE Anniversary, Lil Wayne, Scarlett Johansson and Nicki Minaj Perform [WATCH]

  • 8 Great Albums From 2014 You Probably Haven't Heard of: Tacocat, Frankie Cosmos, And More

    It's that time of year again when every music magazine and website publishes their list of the year's best albums (stayed tuned for the Music Times list in a few weeks), and for the most part, each list tends to shuffle around the same 50–100 albums in different orders. However, there are a ton of great albums released every year that unfortunately fly under the radar and don't get as much attention. Here are eight great albums from 2014 that you probably haven't heard (not to be presumptuous or anything).

  • Luke Bryan Misses 'CMT Artists of the Year' Ceremony After Family Death, Lady Antebellum Pays Tribute with 'Drink a Beer' [WATCH]

    Luke Bryan suffered a tough loss last week after his brother-in-law passed away at the age of 46. Ben Lee Cheshire was married to Bryan's cousin Kelly, who died in 2007.

Honorees Jason Aldean and Keith Urban mentioned Bryan throughout the ceremony, and Lady Antebellum played a touching tribute for the grieving superstar with his hit "Drink a Beer."

  • The Wrens Finish First Album in 12 Years; Dropping In 2015

    The tagline on The Wrens' website reads "keeping people waiting since 1989." That's a tongue-in-cheek allusion to the fact that the group tends to prolong things between albums. They spent seven years between 1996's 'Secaucus' and 2003's indie darling, 'The Meadowlands.' But that gap pales in comparison to the current one, which will reach 12 years in 2015. Good news, though: Frontman Charles Bisell says the new record is finally finished.
