At Least She’s Beautiful – Album by rjtheweirdo

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:49:00 +0000

Rising R&B artist rjtheweirdo continues building his name with At Least She’s Beautiful, a project that leans into vulnerability, relationships, and the messiness that comes with both. Signed to EZMNY Records—founded by Ty Dolla $ign and Shawn Barron—rjtheweirdo is part of a new wave of artists blending traditional R&B with more offbeat, alternative textures. That shows up all over this album. The production feels intimate and slightly left-of-center, giving his voice space to carry the emotion. Themes of love, insecurity, and self-reflection run throughout, but the project never feels overly heavy. There’s a balance between honesty and melody that keeps it easy to sit with. Features from Ty Dolla $ign, Jaymin, and Nali help round things out, but the focus stays on rjtheweirdo’s perspective. At this stage, it feels less like he’s chasing a moment and more like he’s building a sound. He’s definitely just getting started, but this is a strong debut effort that showcases his range and what he’s capable of.

Release Date: April 17, 2026

M.I.7 – Album by M.I.A.

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:24:00 +0000

M.I.A. returns with M.I.7, a project that marks a noticeable shift in both sound and subject matter. Known for blending political commentary with genre-bending production, M.I.A. leans into something more spiritual this time around. The album pulls from gospel influences and layered instrumentation, mixing bass-heavy production with choral elements that give the project a different kind of weight.

Structurally, M.I.7 is built around a series of trumpet interludes that help shape the listening experience, giving it a more conceptual feel than a typical release. At the same time, it still carries the signature unpredictability that’s defined her catalog for years. It’s not a straightforward return. It’s more like a pivot. And whether listeners fully connect with it or not, it’s clear M.I.A. is still creating on her own terms.

Release Date: April 17, 2026
Genre: Dance
Album: M.I.7

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 06:07:00 +0000

21 Lil Harold and BabyDrill link up on new track “Spin.” The two deliver a gritty, Atlanta-rooted track that leans into street-focused storytelling. The production stays dark and minimal, giving both artists space to keep their delivery sharp and direct. Both have been building steady buzz in Atlanta’s scene, and this collaboration feels natural. Two artists operating in similar lanes, reinforcing each other’s strengths. There’s no overthinking here, just straight execution.

The track doesn’t try to polish anything down, which works in its favor. It keeps that edge that fans of the sound look for. “Spin” feels like a statement of presence more than anything else.

SHE DID IT AGAIN – Song by Tyla featuring Zara Larsson

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:42:00 +0000

Tyla keeps her global momentum going with “SHE DID IT AGAIN,” bringing Zara Larsson into the mix for a polished, crossover-ready record. The track blends Afropop rhythms with clean pop structure, creating something that feels both effortless and widely accessible. Tyla’s strength has always been her ability to make smooth, danceable records without overcomplicating them, and that continues here. Zara adds a bright, familiar pop presence that pushes the song even further into international territory.

After the success of recent track “CHANEL,” and her steady rise, it’s clear Tyla is thinking bigger with each release. This feels less like a moment and more like a strategy. It’s confident, catchy, and built for a wide audience.

Release Date: April 17, 2026

No ordinary love, this is propane, no, it’s not safe

Numb – Song by JT

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 05:20:00 +0000

JT takes a more introspective approach on her newest single “Numb.” On this track, she steps away from the party-anthem vibes she’s known for and leaning into something that sets the haters straight. The track explores JT bragging about the fact that she’s been up for so long that she’s “numb,” and doesn’t feel anything from being hated on anymore.

There’s still confidence in her tone, but it’s more controlled, more intentional. Instead of performing for the moment, she sounds like she’s speaking directly to the people who are praying on her downfall. As she continues to build her solo identity outside of City Girls, releases like this feel important. They show range, and more importantly, they show growth. “Numb” isn’t about proving she can go hard. It’s about showing she doesn’t always have to. It’s straightforward delivery.

Release Date: April 17, 2026
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics

I ain’t ever been no fake b***h ever
I can’t never hang with a lame b***h never
I’ll be the villain, yeah I’m stuck up, and they fed up
I don’t fold for nothing, and that’s why my trap still jumpin’

BNYX keeps his momentum going with “HunchO STEP!,” linking up with Quavo for a track that feels built for movement. Known for shaping the sound behind a lot of recent hits, BNYX leans into clean, bounce-heavy production here, giving Quavo a perfect pocket to operate in. It’s high-energy and feels natural for him.

Quavo sounds right at home, tapping back into the flow that made him one of the most recognizable voices in rap. There’s nothing overly complex about the record. It’s more about rhythm, energy, and replay value. At this point, BNYX is becoming just as recognizable as the artists he works with. Tracks like this continue to position him as one of the producers defining the current sound.

Simple, effective, and built to last in rotation.

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:23:42 +0000

Diamond* and TEZZUS step into a bigger spotlight with UY SCUTI BØYZ, a collaborative project that leans into dark, atmospheric production and a new wave of underground rap energy. The album feels rooted in internet-era sound. Think moody beats, distorted textures, and a mix of melodic and aggressive delivery. It’s not trying to be polished in a traditional sense. Instead, it thrives off unpredictability and rawness, which is exactly what’s been pushing this lane forward. The feature list helps expand the reach. Appearances from Young Thug and Rylo Rodriguez bring a more established presence, while artists like skaiwater and SouthsideSilhouette keep it tapped into the newer wave.

Sunday Again – Song by 6LACK featuring 2 Chainz

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 04:09:31 +0000

6LACK returns with new single “Sunday Again,” tapping 2 Chainz for a reflective, easygoing record that leans into themes of reset and emotional clarity. The track carries that familiar 6LACK tone. Moody but grounded. It’s built around quiet moments and internal processing rather than big statements. Bringing in 2 Chainz adds an interesting layer. His verse doesn’t overpower the record, instead offering a more seasoned perspective that complements 6LACK’s introspection. It feels intentional, not forced.

6LACK is gearing up for the release of his album Love Is The New Gangsta, which the previously released track “Bird Flu,” is set to appear on. This release feels like a continuation of the world that he’s building.

Azealia Banks Claims Dave Chappelle Chases After Trans Women

Tallie Spencer — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:39:14 +0000

Azealia Banks is adding her voice to the ongoing conversation surrounding Dave Chappelle. And as usual, she’s not holding back. Following Chappelle’s recent comments about how he “resents” Republicans using his jokes about the trans community to push anti-LGBTQ+ agendas, Azealia Banks took to X (formerly Twitter) with some explosive claims of her own.

Reacting to a post criticizing Chappelle’s awareness of how his comedy impacts the current political climate, Banks doubled down with a bold accusation. “Tbh Dave Chappelle IS genuinely a chaser,” she wrote in a quote tweet, alleging that he showed interest in her trans friends during a night out in New York City. According to Banks, the situation escalated to the point where a bartender had to intervene and ask their group to leave.

She didn’t stop there. In a follow-up exchange, Banks responded to a user who accused her of having a past encounter with the comedian. Rather than denying it, she leaned into the claim, saying she didn’t mind because of Chappelle’s status, calling him a “black legend.”

Azealia Banks Doubles Down On Claims

Tbh Dave Chappelle IS geniunely a tranny chaser. He was sweating my two trans friends for like 4 hours after the box in NYC the bartender actually had to come and ask us to leave https://t.co/tX1k8ZTmE3
— AZEALIA BANKS (@iiwasinthee212) April 15, 2026

The comments come as Chappelle continues to face criticism over his history of jokes about the transgender community. The backlash dates back to his 2019 Netflix special Sticks & Stones and intensified with his 2021 follow-up, The Closer, where he addressed the controversy head-on while also pushing back against certain aspects of the criticism.

At the same time, Chappelle has made statements opposing specific anti-trans legislation, creating a complicated dynamic between his comedy, public stance, and how his material is interpreted politically.

As of now, Chappelle has not responded to Banks’ latest claims. Still, the moment adds another layer to an already polarizing conversation. One that continues to spark debate across comedy, culture, and social media.

Nigel Sylvester Gifts Fat Joe His Air Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick”

Ben Atkinson — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 01:28:52 +0000

The press run for Nigel Sylvester’s next Jordan Brand collab is in full swing. Fat Joe and Jadakiss just teased their upcoming podcast episode featuring Sylvester as a special guest. He showed up with unreleased pairs of the Air Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” in hand.

Nigel Sylvester’s “Brick by Brick” Air Jordan 4 was widely heralded as the sneaker of the year in 2025, including by Complex. The follow-up carries serious expectations. Every new look at “Brick After Brick” only adds to the anticipation.

“‘Brick After Brick’ dives into the discipline and consistency it takes to sustain success while continuing to build,” Sylvester said. It is a natural extension of the “Brick by Brick” story. That sense of purpose is woven directly into the design.

The “Brick After Brick” Air Jordan 4 features many of the elements from the original 4, like the “Bike Air” flip of the Nike logo on the heel and Jordan Biking Co. tongue tag, but this time utilizes a colorway reminiscent of the original “Fire Red” Air Jordan 4.

The Nigel Sylvester x Air Jordan 4 “Brick After Brick” is set to release May 9th, 2026 for $225 via SNKRS and select Jordan Brand retailers. The countdown is on. This is shaping up to be one of the year’s biggest Jordan drops.

The new iteration leans into classic Air Jordan 4 Retro language. It mirrors the iconic “Fire Red” layout but swaps traditional Bulls-red hits for brick-inspired Cinnabar tones. Also creamy Sail leather covers the upper, matched with neutral netting and TPU wings for structural balance.

Further a black accent wraps the midsole, adding contrast without overpowering the palette. On the forefoot, a mini Swoosh returns, a signature detail of Sylvester’s Jordan 4 collaborations.

The heel tab features bold “BIKE AIR” lettering in orange, a direct nod to Sylvester’s cycling identity. The overall look feels nostalgic and fresh at the same time.
