• Wu-Tang Clan Share Title Track From Upcoming Album 'A Better Tomorrow' [LISTEN]

    We're less than one week away from the new Wu-Tang Clan album A Better Tomorrow, which gives the New York rap crew enough time to share one more track before the album drops. The latest song to be shared from the album is its title track, though in a rather confusing twist, Wu-Tang Clan already released a song titled "A Better Tomorrow" on their 1997 album Wu-Tang Forever, which is totally different from the one they shared today.

  • Rae Sremmurd Enlist Nicki Minaj, Young Thug for New Single "Throw $um Mo," Set Release Date for 'SremmLife'

    Rae Sremmurd (Slim Jimmy and Swae Lee) have been heating up the airwaves with their Mike Will Made It-produced hit "No Flex Zone." It has since peaked at No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was remixed by Nicki Minaj and Pusha T as well as Kid Ink and Lil Kim, and more. Their song "No Type" has also been gaining mainstream recognition, proving that these guys are no one-hit wonders. Now the duo has tapped Nicki Minaj and Young Thug for their next SremmLife single called "Throw $um Mo." They revealed the single art for the track today and have announced that it will drop on iTunes Dec. 9. SremmLife is scheduled to drop about a month later on Jan. 6 via EarDrummers/Interscope, Rap-Up reports.

  • James Blake Shares Remix of Gorillaz 'Feel Good Inc.' Under Name 'Harmonimix' [LISTEN]

    On a recent Fabriclive mix posted to SoundCloud, British DJ Rich Reason included a newly unearthed James Blake remix of the Gorillaz classic "Feel Good Inc.," released under the name "Harmonimix." Though the remix is just now seeing the light of day, "Fact" reports that the track is "from back in the day," at least according to Reason.Though the original "Feel Good Inc." definitely has a danceable party vibe to it — as dark and weird as it may be — Blake's remix is much more abstract and harder to dance to, and even strips the song of its signature bass line, which may lead some to ask to the question, "Then why the hell should I even bother listening to this?"You can check out James Blake's Harmonimix remix of Gorillaz's "Feel Good Inc." here:

  • Wu-Tang Clan Perform 'Ruckus in B Minor' from 'A Better Tomorrow' on 'David Letterman' [WATCH]

    The stars were out on late night last night. Lorde made her second appearance on "The Tonight Show," this time to support the "Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1," and just a click away on CBS, Wu-Tang Clan were gearing up for the release of their new album "A Better Tomorrow" by performing "Ruckus in B Minor" on "The Late Show with David Letterman." Two-thirds of the legendary rap group stormed the late-night show with RZA, Masta Killa, Inspectah Deck, U-God, Method Man and Cappadonna all live, while GZA, Raekwon and Ghostface Killa were unable to make it, via "David Letterman."The New York City collective showed that they still have it after more then 20 years of being together on and off. Each member takes turns delivering his verse, while Method Man anchors the tune with his gravely voice on the bridge: I can see your drawers, pull your pants up / Can't even call yourself a man until you man up / And if you call yourself a fan you need to stand up / This ain't a party, it's a jux, keep your hands up.He leads the all-inclusive hook Wu forever, and we're still number one, still number one, still number one!" that turns into chanting from each of the members.

  • 'MTV Unplugged's Best Performances: The Obvious (Nirvana, Eric Clapton) and Less Obvious as Well

    November 26, 1989 marked the first airing of MTV's Unplugged series, a showcase that took some of the best bands across many generations and gave viewers a new look. The performers themselves often praised the program due to its live nature and its promotion of differing from the same ol' songs that get repeated so often. Squeeze was the first band featured but many other high acts jumped on the bandwagon over the years. Music Times chose eight classic performances worth revisiting.

The book will also include portraits of Björk by Nan Goldin, Juergen Teller, Arakia and Inez & Vinoodh and will feature photos from some of the singer's famous costumes, designed by Alexander McQueen, Hussein Chalayan and Sophia Kokosalaki. Four booklets will be released with the book as well as a poster featuring the artwork of all seven albums being covered.

  • Taylor Swift and "Blank Space" Hold Off Hozier on Digital Downloads Charts; Still No "Do They Know It's Christmas?" to Be Seen

    For some reason we had the misguided impression that the new "Do They Know It's Christmas?," celebrating the 30th anniversary of the original Band Aid single with contributions from One Direction and Chris Martin (for charity), would easily take the top spot on this week's Digital Downloads chart. We were wrong. Taylor Swift's single "Blank Space," which is most certainly not for charity, took the no. 1 position again, moving 302,000 copies.
