  • Childish Gambino Drops New Verse on 'Together' [WATCH]

    Belgian singer Selah Sue has shared the lyric video for her single "Together," featuring a guest verse from Childish Gambino, which you can check out below. At first, the song has some ethereal, electronic R&B production that sounds like a more accessible version of FKA Twigs, though it eventually morphs into a more energetic club track with some tinny trap beats thrown in for good measure. Childish Gambino delivers his verse with a crazed, breathless flow, dropping in references to Kanye West and even a "Chapelle's Show" sketch.

"Peace young world this is the Badmon Jozif and I just want to thank all of my supporters and fans for being so patient with me as I finished my first album," Joey begins. "The wait is finally almost over and the release date is locked and loaded." "After discovering my birthday falls on a Tuesday (the day of the week all albums drop) next year I decided to save the album drop for then (1.20.15)," Joey writes. "I thought it was the best time to cause a shift. It's always been a goal of mine to drop a project on my birthday, and the premonition has finally come into fruition. The number 120 is very unique and symbolic to me as well. My 1st album on my 20th birthday this was destiny."

  • Soundgarden To Remix And Reissue Debut Album 'Ultramega OK'

  • Run The Jewels Play Awful EMTs In "Blockbuster Night, Pt. 1" Music Video [WATCH]

The Trevor Kane-directed clip casts El-P and Killer Mike as EMTs during a nightshift down in Mike's hometown of Atlanta, though they appear to be much better at rapping than saving people's lives (they even go so far as to flip off an old man who's clearly having a heart attack). Fellow Atlantan Cole Alexander of the Black Lips makes a brief cameo.

In an interview with "Vegas Player," the 69-year-old singer revealed that he has been writing songs for his follow-up to 2013's "Time," and he is more prolific now than he ever was. "Believe it or not, I've got 10 tracks ready for the new album. I've got songs coming out of my bum at the moment," Stewart admits jokingly. "I just wish I could have had this 25 or 30 years ago. I was enjoying myself too much then."

  • Rush Discuss New Music, Tours in Interview

    This year, Canadian prog-rock trio Rush are celebrating the 40th anniversary of their debut album, but that does not mean they have any plans to slow down. In a recent interview with radio.com, guitarist Alex Lifeson and bassist/vocalist Geddy Lee discussed the possibility of new music in the future. "Some days I feel like being back out on the road and taking advantage of the fact that it's our 40th anniversary," Lifeson says when discussing the band's future plans. "On other days I sit around messing with musical ideas and think, 'We've got to start writing.'" "I just want to play," Lee adds, "I wouldn't mind going back on tour. I'm really dying to play, I have all of these new old instruments that I'm dying to try out." When discussing what they'd like to do on their next tour, Lifeson reveals that he would want it to "be more of a 40th anniversary celebration ... a fun trip back to the past with maybe some looking forward."
