Kanye West has shared the music video for “Hurricane,” his Grammy-nominated Donda single with the Weeknd and Lil Baby. The visual features an army of digital figures, dressed entirely in black. Find the video below.

“Hurricane” is up for Best Melodic Rap Performance at the 2022 Grammy Awards. Donda is up for Best Rap Album and Album of the Year.

West previously released music videos for Donda’s “Come to Life,” “24,” and “Heaven and Hell.” Additionally, he and the Game recently shared a disturbing visual for their collaboration “Eazy.”

Earlier this year, Kanye West premiered his album Donda 2 at a Miami event. So far, he’s released the project exclusively via his Stem Player, making Donda 2 ineligible for the Billboard charts.

Nearly five years since the release of DAMN, it appears that Kendrick Lamar is preparing for the official roll-out of his next studio album. Information remains limited but several festivals confirmed him on their line-up. The latest is Glastonbury Festival in the UK announced Kendrick as a headlining act during the June 22nd-26th festival.

Billie Eilish and Paul McCartney will also serve as co-headliners with K. Dot closing out the festival on Sunday, June 26th. The festival’s line-up also includes Doja Cat, Megan Thee Stallion, Burna Boy, Little Simz, TLC, and more.

This marks the second headlining slot Kendrick Lamar’s confirmed this week. Rolling Loud confirmed that Kendrick will be headlining their Miami festival this summer, hinting that his new album is coming soon. “Kendrick headlining Miami again means exactly what you think it means,” a tweet from the official Rolling Loud page read before it was deleted.

Earlier this year, Kendrick Lamar was confirmed to perform at Milano Summer Festival in Italy where he’s reportedly expected to “play the pieces of the new album,” according to a Reddit translation of the description page.

All of this comes at the heels of his performance alongside Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, and Mary J. Blige at the Super Bowl halftime show in February where he performed a medley of singles including “m.A.A.d. city” and “Alright.”

Travelling back in time, in 2012, JAY-Z inked a deal with Parlux, a perfume company who would manufacture the “Gold Jay Z” line of perfume. Parlux became frustrated with Hov and claimed he breached their contract when he did not attend the 2014 Gold Jay Z launch at Macy’s, as well as missing promotional appearances for the perfume line for “Good Morning America” and in Women’s Wear Daily.

This led to Parlux filing a suit against Sean Carter, better known as JAY-Z, where they would seek a $68 million settlement for JAY failing to uphold his end of their deal. In the lawsuit, Parlux and their attorney Anthony Viola “accused the star of failing to properly promote his Gold Jay-Z cologne line” which caused $18 million in lost revenue, saying: “If the defendants had fulfilled the contract, if they have upheld their end of the bargain, Parlux would have had a runaway success. We would have netted $67.6 million in net profits.”

But JAY-Z disagreed, insisting they instead owed him $2.7 million in royalties. He eventually testified in court in October 2021, along with his lawyer Alex Spiro. Hov’s argument against the suit is that Parlux never provided the adequate products and effort into the “Gold Jay-Z” line that he anticipated, and was always frustrated with the work they provided.

He would eventually be cleared of any breach of contract in November. Now, a few months later, JAY has claimed another victory over his estranged perfume partners, as an appellate court ruled on Feb. 24 that he is entitled to over $4.5 million in royalties.

In the court’s unanimous decision, Justice John Higgitt claimed that Parlux still made money off of Hov’s name even after they claimed he breached their contract: “The record is clear: Parlux sold licensed products after July 31, 2015, but failed to pay royalties on those sales.”

Clearly, Parlux were trying to pull a fast one on Hov, but justice got served!

Two days after Ye premiered his new studio album, Donda 2, in front of a sold-out crowd in Miami, the full album has been released exclusively on Stem Player. Adding eleven more songs from the track-list onto the device, the first version of Donda 2 is officially out now.

This comes after Ye dropped four songs from the album on Stem Player earlier this week, debuting “Security,” “We Did It Kid” with Migos and Baby Keem, “Pablo” with Travis Scott and Future, and “Broken Road” with Don Toliver. Today’s new additions include “True Love” with XXXTentacion, “Louie Bags” with Jack Harlow, “Happy” with Future, “Sci Fi” with Sean Leon, “First Time in a Long Time” with Soulja Boy, and more.

“City Of Gods” with Fivio Foreign and Alicia Keys was previously made available on the device and currently sits at the tail end of the album’s tracklist.

Interestingly enough, because of the Stem Player’s limited storage, some fans have noted that you cannot have Donda 1 and Donda 2 on the device at the same time as there is not enough room on the player. Still, a number of Ye’s most loyal supporters have been raving over the Stem Player, detailing how it’s one of the most integral parts of this rollout.

We will keep you updated as the album gets uploaded to streaming services but for right now, you’ll need a Stem Player to listen to the full thing.
