Nicki Minaj Sets the Record Straight About Retirement from Music

Nicki Minaj is setting the record straight about her retirement from music. Back in September, Nicki first expressed her decision to take a step back from her music career to focus on her family life. At the time, Nicki wrote to her fans in a since deleted tweet: “I’ve decided to retire & have my family. I know you guys are happy now. To my fans, keep reppin me, do it til da death of me, in the box- cuz ain’t nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE.” However, she dropped a song the next month. In a new...

Good Times Ahead Leak 40-Track Edit & Remix Pack, Including Unreleased Skrillex Collab

Matt and Julio from Good Times Ahead, pka GTA, hopped on for an AMA yesterday to celebrate the formation of their own label, Good Times Bad Times Records. “We had a crazy year with all the music we released and our re-brand,” their post reads, “so we thought it would be a good call to jump on our favorite platform to do an AMA with y’all.” The duo answered a couple dozen questions in the nearly three hours the AMA was active, which was all well and good. But, to put a massive cherry on top, they ended it by...

WATCH: The Chainsmokers Get 5SOS With Two Epic Pranks On 'World War Joy' Tour

The Chainsmokers and 5 Seconds of Summer have been tearing it up on their World War Joy Tour — and pranking each other along the way. Well, it’s been a little one-sided, as The Chainsmokers have been pranking their favorite boy band, 5SOS. The videos below show two separate instances when practical jokes have played out on this tour. The first, a confetti cannon that makes drummer Ashton Irwin scream like a little girl. The second, a dildo on the mic that causes on-stage mayhem. Both executed to perfection, because none of the band members ever saw them coming. It’s safe...

REPORT: US Justice Department Preparing Legal Action Against Live Nation

New information from sources in the Justice Department suggests that the US government is preparing legal action against Live Nation for violating the merger settlement Live Nation and Ticketmaster reached with the government in 2010. The settlement, known as a consent decree, at its core, forbade Live Nation from forcing venues that want to book the concert promoter’s tours to use Ticketmaster for those shows, and from retaliating when venues choose to use a ticketing competitor instead. The fact that Ticketmaster now controls 80% of the market and tickets prices are up on average by 50% since 2009 — to...

Marshmello Drops His First Mix In Four Years To Wrap Up 2019

It’s hard to believe, but, to the best of our searching skills, Marshmello has only ever dropped one mix before: a Diplo & Friends mix in 2015. Yes, his Fortnite Extended Set is available on Spotify, but it’s all distributed as individual tracks; and you can find sets from various festivals online, but no others that he’s dropped as a standalone mix. For his first in four years, the masked, saccharine DJ chose to highlight a bunch of his favorite songs of the year in a 2019 End Of Year mix. Plenty of friends like Jauz, Yultron, and Kayzo...

Lipless & Mahalo – Falling (feat. Carly Page) [LöKii Remix]

Lipless & Mahalo teamed up earlier this year to release the quaint and calming “Falling” with Carly Page. Now as we get to the end of the year, rising producer LöKii has taken the original and given it a much harder edge. Whereas the original has a very delicate flow to it, LöKii’s interpretation calls upon far more grit. Even from the first snare, you can tell that this one is just going to hit different. By the time you reach the drop, you’re met with a heavier bass house tone. The lyrics from Carly Page are kept basically intact, though...

The original song has been nominated for Best Dance Recording at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards which marks Skrillex’s 13th Grammy nomination. Four Tet has been teasing his remix at live shows for the past few weeks and now it has finally been released to the public. “Midnight Hour” was already geared up for a solid house remix, and getting the legend Four Tet in the mix is like...

Seven Lions, Excision, Wooli, & Dylan Matthew’s Mega-Collab Gets An Amazing Acoustic Version

Seven Lions, Excision, Wooli, & Dylan Matthew released their mega collab “Another Me” a little over three months ago, and so far, it’s done the rounds on the festival and tour circuit. It hits on every level — emotional, musically, and more — but you’ve never heard it like this. Out today is the acoustic version of the song, essentially just Dylan Matthew on a piano and singing. And it is hauntingly beautiful. This isn’t the only acoustic version of an EDM collaboration he’s done, having also tackled “Love Is Gone,” his track with SLANDER. But as far as “Another...
