Fugees’ Pras Michel Sentenced To 14 Years In Prison

Pras Michel, one-third of the acclaimed New Jersey rap trio the Fugees, was sentenced to 14 years in prison today, Billboard reports. In 2023, the performer known by the mononym Pras was convicted on charges of conspiracy and illegal foreign lobbying in a trial that featured

Drugdealer – “The News”

I associate Drugdealer, the musical project of Michael Collins, with a smooth yet vaguely sleazy form of 1970s singer-songwriter pop. Yet on “The News,” a new song paired with this year’s Weyes Blood collab “Real Thing” on a forthcoming 7″, Drugdealer dips into more of a ’60s

Nick Cave Is Geese-Pilled

The widely celebrated New York rock 'n' rollers in Geese seem to have a healthy love for their forebears, and we know this from the cover choices. The band only just played an all-covers set in New York, taking on artists like the Stooges, the Velvet Underground, Suicide, and

Ezra Collective Share Three Christmas Covers

We’ve already provided you with our handy annual list of holiday music releases, but somehow, year after year, that list is never totally comprehensive. Today Ezra Collective, the UK jazz group who nabbed a coveted Mercury Prize back in 2023, are throwing their hats into the
