DJ battles I get, but this thing? It's kinda weird. The finals of the Red Bull Big Tune producer battle will be held at New York City's Highline Ballroom December 3. In addition to live performances from the likes of Ghostface Killah, Digable Planets, and the Alchemist, attendees will be asked to weigh in on 16 producers, culled from a nationwide search, who will throw down live for a chance to work with some rap heavyweights at the, um, Red Bull Studios in Santa Monica, California. According to a press release, "The head-to-head competition gives each producer 90 seconds to prove themselves and stay in the game. What makes Red Bull Big Tune truly unique is that there are no celebrity judges. The crowd determines who will advance and who will go home. The last person standing will be the one with the 'big tune.'"Wow, 90 seconds? I didn't even think those No Limit dudes could crank 'em out that fast back in their late 90s heyday, and I understand that they had beats by the pound.Whoever's crowned victor will land that shot to record in Santa Monica with their choice of Nas, Common, Lupe Fiasco, or the Game, who are all probably hoping against hope they don't end up in SoCal with some rookie. Your winner also receives "custom studio equipment and national bragging rights." South Dakota, ya heard?

When you name your band something like Viagra Boys, you are automatically offering people a love-it-or-hate-it prospect. But for those who bought in, the band delivered an impressive 2018 debut called Street Worms, a collection of skronking and chaotic post-punk. If you happened to catch them live, you already know the band could take those&...

Billie Eilish's negative space pop warbles have quite a bit in common with James Blake's own music, so it makes perfect sense that Blake would end up covering one of Eilish's songs at some point. And that's exactly what he did at his show in Los Angeles last night at the Ace Hotel Theatre, when…

The track is named after ahimsa, a doctrine commonly translated as "do no harm" and a respect for all living things. It's the band's first material since 2017's Songs Of Experience. They've spent most of…

The holiday standard "Baby, It's Cold Outside" has come under fire in recent years. A common complaint against the tune is that its lyrics -- which present a push and pull between a woman attempting to leave for the night and a man trying to convince her to stay -- carry overtones of sexual harassment…
