Kevin Abstract dropped a brand new, three song EP late last night titled ARIZONA baby. The EP was produced by longtime Brockhampton member Romil Hemnani and multi-faceted musician Jack Antonoff. It’s Abstract’s first solo project since 2016.
Abstract has been teasing music for the past few weeks, posting videos and samples from new tracks on his Twitter and Instagram. What was initially thought to be a date for singles, it seems like Abstract will be releasing a set of EP’s over the next two weeks. He posted on his Instagram account a picture of new cover art for what is expected to be his next release titled Ghettobaby.
Never a stranger to surprised releases, Abstract is always up to something when it comes to making new music. His collaboration with Jack Antonoff marks another milestone for the young L.A. based rapper as his sound continues to evolve with every new track. His new EP has three tracks titled “Big Wheels,” “Joy Ride,” and “Georgia” available on all streaming platforms.

Budweiser released a Dwyane Wade tribute video this morning and it is truly incredible. It’s not a highlight reel of Wade’s best plays on the court, it’s more of reflection of who he is off the court. The video features five different people who were affected by Dwyane’s leadership and impact he had on the city of Miami.
It’s a great introspective how athletes can transcend the sport they play and the actual things they do when they are off the court. The people in the video include the sister of a Parkland survivor, a scholarship recipient, a woman who lost her home to a fire, a young man who looked up to Wade in his youth, and his own mother.
The video itself is incredibly emotional and shows Wade to be such an inspirational figure. The world is going to miss Dwyane Wade the basketball player, but we’re sure lucky to still have Dwyane Wade the person in this world.
Watch the tribute and let us know what you think. Give us a follow @SloppyVinyl to stay up to date on all our content.
Winter is here, but music is coming. The “Game Of Thrones” Twitter account posted a video that announced a “GOT” inspired album titled “For The Throne” will be dropping on April 26. The video rattled off a list of names that will be featured on the record including A$AP Rocky, Ellie Goulding, Joey Bada$$, Lil Peep, The Lumineers, Maren Morris, Mumford & Sons, The National and a few others.
The album will also feature a new song from SZA, The Weeknd, and Travis Scott. The songs on the album will be independent from the show, meaning they won’t appear on the show, they are just inspired by the music from Thrones.
It’s quite an intriguing combination of artists on the list that was announced, piquing my interest on the album. There is not an official track list at this time, but something to keep an eye out for in the coming days.
Kevin Abstract posted a video on YouTube that looks like a teaser for his new solo project. The Brockhampton front man has been releasing small video teasers on his twitter account over the past few weeks, promoting the release of his album that appears to be titled “ARIZONA baby.”
Abstract is best known for his work in his collaborative boy band Brockhampton, but has also venuted into solo work as well. His last solo release was back in 2016, when he released his album “American Boyfriend: A Surburban Love Story,” putting the young rapper into the mainstream and public eye.
There isn’t an official release date for the album yet, but Abstract posted on his Instagram page last night a set of dates, which would appear to be days for new singles. The D.I.Y. Los Angeles rapper is known for pumping out music quickly, with this album marking his seventh total project in just three years. His last release was with Brockhampton, titled “Iridescence,” which dropped last September.
The first single should be dropping on Thursday so be on the watch for new music.

Lil Nas X finally got his way to the top. On the latest Billboard charts, the viral sensation “Old Town Road” is officially sitting alone as the number one song. The young Atlanta rapper has seen a meteoric rise to fame when his country-trap hit track started to gain traction on the social media platform Tik Tok.
The song started to get so popular, that it started making its way to both hip-hop and country radio stations. As a result of the popularity, that it made it all the way to number 18 on the country charts before it was controversially removed for “not having enough country elements.” This sparked a conversation online and in the media on what exactly the criteria is to be designated a country song.
Lil Nas X didn’t falter when his track was pulled from the country charts. Instead, he enlisted country music icon Billy Ray Cyrus to step into the booth and make a remix version of the monster hit. The remix created even more noise around the original song, propelling it all the way to number one on the Billboard charts.
The song and the remix are both number one and two on the Spotify top 50 charts. Texas Tech used the track as a rally cry and victory song on their march to the college basketball national championship. It’s number one on the charts and is the hottest song in the world, Lil Nas X is a rapper to watch moving forward.
