Kid Cudi Starts Podcast. Kylie Jenner Is His First Guest

As our favorite Renaissance Man, Kid Cudi, expands his creative ether, he’s launched his next endeavor. He’s started a podcast, and his first guest? None other than his close friend, Kylie Jenner. “Kylie Jenner and I go wayyy back,” Cudder wrote in the description. “There’s a reason this was the first person I welcomed to the attic of my mind: Kylie and I have known each other forever, and she’s like a lil sister to me. We get into her crazy acting talent in The Moment with Charli XCX, how she runs s**t with her family by her side, and her emo phase growing up. We go deep talking about what it means to have a vision, where I’m at creatively, and executive producing her new music.”

Ravyn Lenae Reveals New Two-Pack, Equipped With a Dominic Fike Feature

For her first release of 2026, Ravyn Lenae has doubled down. While her “Love Me Not” was one of the key players in the unofficial 2025 “Song of the Summer” bracket, Lenae is back on the scene just in time for the warm weather once again. She has released a pair of singles dubbed “Bobby” and “Reputation,” the latter of which features Dominic Fike. This marks the first-ever in-studio collaboration from the indie-pop, genre-bending pair, and comes accompanied by a cinematic, Matthew Dillon Cohen-directed visual.

The Ultimate Yoshi Link-Up

After retiring Childish Gambino, Donald Glover is fully embracing his new alias of Yoshi. So much so that he took to Dodger Stadium on Tuesday night to throw the first pitch for the Dodgers game against the Cleveland Guardians – and, of course, link up with fellow Yoshi, Yoshinobu Yamamoto.

Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, and SURF GANG’s POMPEII//UTILITY Revels in “Unspoken Creative Synergy”

“We have a whole counsel situation over here,” Earl Sweatshirt said on Wednesday night’s Stone Island POMPEII // UTILITY in-store listening event. “I think that’s why it works well. We review everything from every single perspective.” This was just one of the gems Earl dropped at the intimate New York City listening party and panel earlier this week. Sat alongside his POMPEII // UTILITY collaborators MIKE and SURF GANG, the trio, in conversation with the Stone Island team and album artist Sharif Farrag, authentically reflected on the creative process of the communally awaited collaborative opus, which is an endeavor MIKE refers to as one that’s rooted in an “unspoken creative synergy.” Hear more from all three contributing parties on the New York City-centric collaborative opus in the full story here.

Gap-Chella Loading…

If there’s one thing about Coachella, the weather will flip like a switch; the days in the desert are sweltering, and the nights are prime hoodie weather. Who better to be on-site serving up limited-release hoodies than the Gap? Announced earlier this week via Instagram, the label continues to align itself closer to the music scene in another big move, hosting what it’s calling the “Hoodie House” at the tentpole California festival.

A New POMPEII/UTILITY Offering: “Home on the Range”

Sharing the same name as the pair’s co-headlining tour slate, “Home on the Range,” lands as the latest lead track from Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE‘s SURF GANG-produced collab album, POMPEII/UTLITY. 

And Another One: “Back Home”

With the rollout in full effect, another pre-release single from POMPEII/UTILITY has materialized shortly after “Home on the Range.” Dubbed “Back Home,” this one is a byproduct of just MIKE x SURF GANG, appearing on the POMPEII part of the double-disked-up LP.

The First BULLY Visual Is a Fever Dream

Directed by Bianca Censori, Ye has lifted the veil on the music video for “Father,” which marks the first official visual from BULLY, and let’s just say – it’s a hard one to put into words. Feeling like a literal scene from a textbook fever dream, the Censori-lensed clip is a scene envisioned in a church. A pastor stands at the pulpit and the choir on the side, while the pews are packed with a sea of notable attendees, ranging from Michael Jackson (yes, Michael Jackson), a full police squad, a magician mid-card trick at all times, a knight in shining armor, a cat-faced woman and her child, and a nun in deep slumber. Churchgoers – others, including a chef with a comically large cake and twin brides – walk down the aisle and pause in front of the pastor. A UFO touches down, and Travis Scott and Ye join the scene, suited up, both donning a full-face alien mask, which they then remove to reveal themselves.

Stone Island Shows Up To Support Earl Sweatshirt, MIKE, and SURF GANG’s POMPEII / UTILITY

Stone Island has always closely aligned its brand ethos with the music industry, but in the past year, the Italian imprint has doubled down on its affinity for the sonic scene. After a year of successful listening parties and DJ sets and fresh off the heels of a Miami Music Week in-store event with Apple Music, Stone Island has situated itself alongside underground rap, specifically in a capacity that pays tribute to both the old and new guards of the space. Stone Island Sound chose to champion Earl Sweatshirt and MIKE‘s first-ever, highly anticipated, SURF GANG-produced joint album, POMPEII/UTILITY, hosting a series of listening parties – in the brand’s flagship stores in Los Angeles, New York City, and London – in tandem with Q&A panels as well as producing a lineup of limited-edition vinyls.

Ye’s Return

All eyes were on SoFi Stadium on Wednesday night when Ye made his return to the Los Angeles stage. He stepped out onto a planet-shaped set, delivered a career-spanning setlist, and brought out Don Toliver and North West.

Fetty Wap Goes Sinners Mode in New Visual

After dropping off his first post-prison record last Friday, Zavier, Fetty Wap has shared the first music video from the LP. Edgar Esteves brings “White Roses” to life in a Sinners-inspired music video, with Fetty channelling his inner Stack and Smoke. It’s clear the musician has returned to the scene with a more focused vision, stepping into new sonic territory and ensuring the visual component is up to par.

Jeezy For BIKE AIR

For Nigel Sylvester‘s latest BIKE AIR range, he’s enlisted a fellow legend to front the lookbook: Jeezy. With the Air Jordan 4 as the centerfold of the collection, Jeezy pairs the sneakers with a selection of new apparel as well. “It was an honor to collaborate with Jeezy on the ‘Brick After Brick’ BIKE AIR lookbook at the iconic Brooklyn Banks. I spent a lot of years BMX riding at the Banks, with Jeezy’s music as a constant source of motivation,” Sylvester told Hypebeast in an exclusive quote. “This is a full circle moment for me that emphasizes the Brick After Brick ethos. This is motion, creativity, and consistency coming together to create something timeless.” Read more in the full story here.
