Steve Lacy’s Oh Yeah? Has to Answer a Question Bigger Than “Bad Habit”

Star Bandz Is Learning How to Turn Youthful Urgency Into a Lasting Rap Identity
Youth can create attention in hip-hop, but it cannot sustain a career by itself.

Baby Rose has never sounded like an artist interested in making emotion smaller for the sake of convenience. With YEARNALISM, the singer builds an entire creative statement around the feelings people are frequently encouraged to hide: desire, uncertainty, heartbreak, attachment and the uncomfortable space between moving on and still wanting something back. Released Friday through Secretly Canadian, the 12-song album explores several forms of love rather than restricting its s
Is Consistency the New Superpower?
Not every artist needs a surprise album or a headline-grabbing moment to stay relevant. Some of today's most successful musicians are winning by consistently releasing quality music, touring, and maintaining genuine connections with fans. Artists like Drake, J.
