Growing up in Texas in the 2000s, new-generation rap-rock star Teezo Touchdown was largely unfamiliar with Talking Heads. But as he was making his own records and plotting a stage show, some of his colleagues thought he’d be inspired by the band and called up a clip from its 1984 concert movie, Stop Making Sense. “The opening shot of David Byrne coming out with a boombox and doing ‘Psycho Killer’ — I had a true discovery moment,” Teezo recalls. “With what he was doing, and the production and the visuals, they had the total package.

Coachella 2024 was the year of the A-list guests. Across all three days, top stars made appearances either onstage or in the crowd to support their musician besties. Olivia Rodrigo joined No Doubt, Will Smith pulled up for J Balvin, Justin Bieber sang with Tems, Billie Eilish threw a last-minute party at the DoLab stage, and Shakira even announced a world tour during Bizarrap’s set.
The talk among some festivalgoers ahead of Coachella suggested that this year’s lineup might underwhelm, but the number of stars joining their friends onstage surely helped with that.

Day Three headliner Doja Cat gave a thrilling end to the weekend’s festivities, bringing an extension of her Scarlet tour to her Sunday night set at Coachella. The Grammy-winning hitmaker last played the festival in 2022; she is the second Black woman to headline the event, after Beyoncé in 2018.
The 28-year-old Mc’s performance was a hard-nosed and hot-blooded spectacle, conceived of pure, unadulterated id. Offering little in the way of stage banter, Doja opened with a sample from Madonna’s biting 1994 anthem, “Human Nature” — then blazed through several tracks off her 2023 album,...

Six years ago, in the spring of 2018, Teezo Touchdown and some friends drove nearly 250 miles across Texas from their hometown, Beaumont, to the state capital of Austin. SXSW was in full swing, bringing thousands of people each day to the downtown thoroughfare of Sixth Street, where Teezo and his friends set up. “We got ourselves a speaker and a microphone,” he recalled last night. “But we didn’t have no shows.” So, Teezo said, he spilled his soul right there on the street until the cops made him leave for performing without a permit.

Listen closely: On “Principles,” the jarring penultimate track of Kim Gordon’s new solo album, The Collective, are the words she’s wailing “an actress of life”? Or is that last word “light” or “lies” or “live” or something else? The line transmits differently if you listen to it on a big stereo, expensive headphones, a beach speaker, shitty AirPods, and shittier iPhone speakers, since she’s buried it so deeply in atmospheric reverb and industrial clanging.

Drake has unveiled Scary Hours 3, featuring six new songs.
The third installment in the Scary Hours series arrives as an expansion of the rapper’s latest album, For All the Dogs, which itself dropped just a month ago. Now– amidst hiatus-inducing tummy troubles – the new songs were written and recorded over a period of just five days, and include the track “Evil Ways,” featuring J. Cole. The previous two Scary Hours releases touted big hits, including 2018’s “God’s Plan,” as well as 2021’s “Wants and Needs” featuring Lil Baby and “What’s Next.”
“I feel no need to appease anybody,” the rapper says in a moody drone-shot announcement video filmed over Toronto’s Roy Thomson Hall. “I feel so confident about the body of work that I just dropped that I know I could go and disappear for six months, a year, two years – even though I’m not really into...

Drake recently topped the Billboard Hot 100 for the 13th time with his latest solo album For All The Dogs. The polarizing record accrued 402,000 sales units in the United States during its first week, including 514 million streams. For All The Dogs is Drake’s fourth album in two years — though his first solo rap album since 2021’s Certified Lover Boy. Even with the deluge, his streaming numbers reflect a ravenous appetite amongst rap listeners; he’s become too big to fail. He enjoys a fanbase that spans demographics. And even those...

When Teezo Touchdown popped up on two songs on Drake’s For All the Dogs — “Amen” and the wild falsetto outro of “7969 Santa” — they were just the latest in a series of high-profile, attention-grabbing guest spots for the Texas-born singer/rapper. That’s him crooning in a cartoonish British accent on “Modern Jam,” one of the best tracks on Travis Scott’s Utopia, and taking the first verse on Lil Yachty’s Tame Impala-like “The Ride” from Let’s Start Here.

For Teezo Touchdown, his sound started with his look. When the Beaumont, Texas singer/rapper went into the studio in 2019 to record what became the Panic at the Disco-sampling track “100 Drums,” he surprised himself by leaning hard towards rock influences — an approach that would become the template for his recent debut, How Do You Sleep at Night? “I already had made the change aesthetically of going to rock before I even did it sonically,” he says in the new episode of Rolling Stone Music Now. “I was already painting my [face], I had the hair.

Fourteen years after Drake broke through with his So Far Gone mixtape, public reaction to his new projects has grown predictable. The Toronto rapper/singer will run up numbers on Spotify and Apple Music because, well, he’s the king of streaming. A social-media war will inevitably break out over the quality of his music, his reputed softness in comparison to past street-hardened GOATs, and his beefs with sundry bold-faced rivals. In recent months, those online debates have grown coarse and self-righteous, thanks to an unfortunate lyrical shift towards fellating...

Drake has returned with his eighth studio album, For All the Dogs. Stream the album via Apple Music or Spotify below.
Spanning 23 tracks, the album features appearances by Sza, Bad Bunny, J. Cole, 21 Savage, and more. It arrives a day after its latest single, “8Am in Charolette,” which dropped on Thursday, October 5th, and includes Drizzy taking thinly veiled shots at his longtime sparring partner, Kanye West.
Drake has been teasing For All the Dogs for some time now. In June, when he was putting out his poetry book, Titles Ruin Everything, he ran ads in newspapers like the New York Times, NY Post, Los Angeles Times, and others, which included a Qr code leading to titlesruineverything.com. Going to the website revealed the album’s title and the following message: “I made an album to go with the book. They say they miss the old Drake, girl don’t tempt me.

Summer is ending but Drake is only just getting started. After weeks of teasing, the rapper has finally released For All the Dogs, his eighth studio album. His third record to be released in the last two years — following Honestly, Nevermind and the 21 Savage-assisted collaborative album Her Loss — arrives as a companion piece to Titles Ruin Everything, the poetry book he released back in June.
“I made an album to go with the book,” Drake wrote on the website for the poetry collection. “They say they miss the old Drake girl don’t tempt me.

In his early videos, the musician Teezo Touchdown mostly appeared in his front yard, standing sort of mawkishly in a way that brings to mind Edward Scissorhands and sporting the now-signature metal nails that adorn his hair. There, he would perform snippets of mostly acoustic, minimal-sounding pop-punk ballads that possessed a bleeding earnestness, almost childlike in their sincerity. Songs like the treacly but heartfelt “Strong Friend,” which doubled as a kind of PSA for mental health awareness. For a long time on Instagram, the primary distribution mechanism for these video snippets,...

Jack of all trades and master of none Teezo Touchdown, whose gaudy style has already eclipsed his scant musical output, doesn’t want to be known as simply a rapper. He fancies himself a radical who doesn’t fit neatly into a predetermined categorical box. This is an artist who thought spitting verses over Panic at the Disco’s “I Write Sins Not Tragedies,” one of the most well-known pop-punk songs of the past decade, on 2019’s “100 Drums” was unique in an era where SoundCloud rappers frequently pay homage to such mid-2000s acts.
To be fair, there’s little to no actual rapping on Teezo’s major label debut, How Do You Sleep at Night? He positions himself as a modern-day pop star in the vein of Prince—as a soulful entertainer who can adopt R&b, pop, and rock sensibilities into his musical repertoire at what feels like the drop of a hat.

A few hours before he dropped his long-awaited studio album Utopia, Travis Scott shared its official 19-song tracklist. The image included each title written out in near-illegible scribbles with a harsh, grainy filter overlay making it all the more difficult to decipher. Throughout the list, there were no featured artists, but the album’s arrival revealed appearances from Beyoncé, Drake, The Weeknd, Sza, James Blake, and more across its stacked guest list.
Utopia features 19 different featured artists across its run time, which clocks in at an hour and 13 minutes. Scott...

Utopia is the follow-up to Scott’s 2018 album, Astroworld, and arrives as Scott’s first full-length since the crowd crush at his 2021 Astroworld music festival that left 10 people dead and thousands more injured.

Sbtrkt, the electronic music project of English producer Aaron Jerome, has announced his third album, The Rat Road, which will be released on May 5th. As a preview, he’s shared its lead single “Waiting.”
Sbtrkt’s first full-length offering since 2016’s Save Yourself, The Rat Road boasts a wall-to-wall effort by the producer, who played every instrument and recorded, produced, and mixed the entire project himself. In a statement, he called it his “most sonically ambitious record to create, following my own musical path, which isn’t based on others’ perceptions of what Sbtrkt should be.”
He continued by expanding on the album’s relation to “the rat race,” sharing, “It’s partly based on my own challenging experiences within the music industry and life generally, though I realized the idea is not isolated from a much wider feeling of exhaustion.”

Lil Yachty is rich. The 25-year-old musician posts TikToks featuring exotic Italian furniture, and goes vintage shopping with Drake. By the time he graduated high school, he’d already bought his mom a house. He caused a mild international incident with his viral hit “Poland,” a loosie released late last year in which he croons, with impossible sincerity, about bringing illegal pharmaceuticals into Poland. One couldn’t imagine a more charmed Gen Z existence. And yet, on “:(failure(:,” an early interlude from his left-turn of a new album,...

When it comes to introductions, a new artist could do a lot worse than launching the rhetorical question, “Why you hating like a jive sucka?” Those are the first words that tumble out of Teezo Touchdown‘s mouth in the video for “Sucka!” Decked in a white tank top, dramatically sagged jeans, an assortment of chains from the local Hot Topic, and an army bandana tied around his head, the Beaumont, Texas, rapper looks like Juvenile’s wayward son. From there, Teezo’s arms and mannerisms contort into an approximation...
