  • Ryn Weaver Makes TV Debut with 'OctaHate' on 'Late Show with David Letterman' [WATCH]

    One of our 2015 Artists to Watch, Ryn Weaver made her television debut last night on the "Late Show with David Letterman," performing her song "OctaHate" from the Los Angeles-based singer/songwriter's debut EP "Promises." The performance was solid for her first time on TV, which can be nerve-wracking and be too large a stage at first for some artists. Weaver appeared to be nervous at first, hesitant to really go for some high notes, but eventually warmed into the performance and hit some of the bolder notes. The "Promises" singer noted on Twitter that she was sick during the week, which can be deadly for a person's voice, but despite the adversity, still delivered an excellent debut performance on live television.The Benny Blanco, Cashmere Cat and Passion Pit's Michael Angelakos co-produced track, co-written with Charli XCX, "OctaHate" is an easy-going pop tune, but for the live TV performance she had a band who flipped the script and added a rock vibe to the track.Come for the music and her outfit and stay to the end for a super awkward hand kiss from David Letterman. The man is about to retire and is going to do whatever he pleases.Ryn Weaver is living up to the general billing of an artist to watch in 2015. She has already been booked for two of the biggest festivals in the land — Coachella and Bonnaroo — notably impressive since she has only had a four-track EP in her discography. Weaver has stated on social media that she is working on an album at the moment, though no further details have been given. With the current machine helping to propel her to big festival stages and late night performances, expect star power producers and potential features on the album.

  • 2 Chainz and Nancy Grace Debate Merits of Marijuana Legalization on HLN [WATCH]

    Nancy Grace and her aggressive, controversy-causing show on HLN decided to have a discussion on the legalization of marijuana and invited onto the show for a back-and-forth on the issue to discuss the pros and cons with experts and ... 2 Chainz, who could be considered an expert in his own right. Nancy Grace dubs him one as she says, "I have seen a video of you smoking a big fat doobie."The whole segment is rather surreal as Grace and 2 Chainz — real name Tauheed Epps — argue over whether or not weed should be legalized in America. Grace continues to drive home her point that weed is dangerous and shows the same video of a parent who gives her 2-year-old weed to smoke, a terrible act for any parent to do. When she seems to be falling behind to Epps, the host falls back on the time-tested method by TV hosts outside hip-hop of bringing up choice lyrics to try and discredit him. Where is Cam'ron when you need him?But 2 Chainz counters by trying to drive home the economics of the situation, saying, "I just feel like if you legalize this particular drug, it could cut out certain things in the criminal justice system as far as the overcrowding of prisons ..."He goes so far as to give an example of a time when he had to go to court over shavings left in a grinder that was found in his bus, emphasizing the strain marijuana has on the legal system.
