<p>Vintage Lee’s “Grease Feast” may be this weekend, but she’s likely already spoiled her appetite devouring these new bars. Ahead of her cannabis-infused dinner party and performance this Saturday (January 13), the Roxbury rapper serves up “Shoreline,” a new song and video with Atlanta’s UnoTheActivist. “I can’t do nothing but get high,” Vintage Lee repeats, bouncing the phrase off the jab “your ass on the shoreline” to emphasize just how high she — and her music — is flying. Hit the […]</p>

Flavor Flav of Public Enemy has released a new solo track that features Chuck D. It's called "everywhere man" and appears to be a stand-alone single. There are at least 22+ versions, each recorded in a different language. Listening to some of the tracks, it appears that A.I. may have been used to generate some vocal takes. The Flav will perform his first solo set in some time at the Atlantic City All-Stars of Hip Hop show (KRS-One, DJ jazzy Jeff, MC Lyte, Big Daddy Kane and a bunch of other acts are there, too. You can hear the song below.

It's 2024. welcome to hell. Earlier this week, "dudesy" which is an AI platform released a new George Carlin special, called "I'm Glad I'm Dead." It features about an hour of all new George Carlin material… kinda, maybe, sort of. Of course, George Carlin died in 2008. The special was written and generated by Dudesy, as directed by dudesy's owners, and features "new material" created by the A.I. with corresponding audio that mimics Carlin's voice very closely. The company directing Dudesy tried to spin the "special" as "I'll (Dudesy) be doing my best George Carlin impersonation just like a human being would." As explained by deadline, "Dudesy is an AI-generated podcast “host” in which it learns from existing data to generate and speak on a range of topics." Will Sasso and Chad Kultgen often act as "hosts" on the show, but are not in the Carlin special. The Carlin estate was not notified of this and never gave permission. Kelly Carlin, George's daughter, issued a statement: "My statement regarding the AI generated George Carlin special: My dad spent a lifetime perfecting his craft from his very human life, brain and imagination. No machine will ever replace his genius. These AI generated products are clever attempts at trying to recreate a mind that will never exist again. Let’s let the artist’s work speak for itself. Humans are so afraid of the void that we can’t let what has fallen into it stay there. Here’s an idea, how about we give some actual living human comedians a listen to? But if you want to listen to the genuine George Carlin, he has 14 specials that you can find anywhere."

<p>One quirk of the release calendar is that some movies exist in a kind of flux, living as Untitled Whatever Movie in a Schrodinger’s Cat-like status, where it might exist or might not. If it’s an Untitled Paul Thomas Anderson Movie, you know it’s going to come out (the guy takes his sweet-ass time choosing a title), but if it’s an Untitled Universal Horror Film, there’s a decent shot it’ll get punted off the calendar once other dates firm up.

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new video by Wes Hoffman and Friends! The video is for their new song “A Minute To Breathe” which is off their upcoming debut album How It Should Be. Speaking about the song, Wes Hoffman said, ”This is a song about living in the moment, but also touching on how hard it can be to do that. When I wrote this song, I had a whole mix of emotions that was really keeping me from finding peace in the present moment. I was either focusing on the past or future too much and not appreciating the moment. It’s so easy to get sucked into overthinking everything, that we have to remind ourselves to take a minute to breathe.  This is one of the fastest songs on our new album. I was listening to a lot of 90s skate punk at the time and wanted to pay a little homage to that era of punk. At the same time, I wanted to stay true to our sound and have a catchy chorus with some ‘whoa-ohs’ in the background.  The video is simply a montage of a bunch of shows we played all over this year. We did so much traveling, I wanted to share some of the clips and places we’ve been. We also added an extra voice during the bridge and final chorus. You can clearly hear Christi Unterseh from Clueless belting out a counter-melody which just put an exclamation point on the song!” How It Should Be will be available everywhere on February 23 via Jump Start Records and you can pre-order it right here.
