Will Smith Considering Making New Music; Developing Ideas With Kanye West

When images of Will Smith and Kanye West in South America together surfaced online earlier this year, fans on both sides of the fence began foaming at the mouth when considering the possibilities of what would happen should these two entertainment heavyweights join forces. At the time, we figured it was all speculation brought on by our seemingly endless desire to know everything Kanye West is planning, but now it seems there may indeed be more to the story.

Recently while doing press for his upcoming film, After Earth, Will Smith admitted he has indeed been considering a return …

STREAM: Bad Rabbits – “Can’t Fool Me”

The Bad Rabbits are at it again.

Less than a week before American Love drops (preorder it), Boston’s Bad Rabbits have released another single for fans to enjoy. “Can’t fool Me” harken’s back to the style of the Stick Up Kids EP from a few years back (more so than the other recent singles, that is), and is just as fun, boisterous, and funky as we have come to expect.

Angel Haze Debuts “Lofticries”

While the world patiently awaits her Universal debut, Angel Haze keeps her underground hype alive and well with the release of a new track entitled, “Lofticries.”

Posted to Soundcloud earlier today, “Lofticries” is actually a leftover from Haze’s 2012 EP Reservation. The track boasts a hypnotic beat that plays so smoothly it might as well be whiskey for your ears. Haze has a flow second-to-none, and it’s clear on this track that the other major females in hip hop may want to watch their back in the coming months. You can stream and download “Lofticries” after the jump.

FLEETWOOD MAC - EXTENDED PLAY

Fleetwood Mac Unveil ‘Extended Play,’ First New Material in a Decade

Fleetwood Mac have slowly been stepping back into the music spotlight lately. After teasing crowds on their recent world tour with 2 new songs, Fleetwood Mac finally drops the long awaited, Extended Play. The new EP marks the first new music from the band in a decade.

While 10 years may seem like an awful long time, it’s nothing compared to nearly half a century, which is almost how long it took to release a studio version of the song, “Without You.” The track dates back to the early 70s, where the duo of Lindsey Buckingham and Stevie Nicks …

REVIEW: Pop Evil – Onyx

Aritst: Pop Evil
Album: Onyx
Label: eOne
Genre: Rock

In the twelve years since their inception, Michigan’s Pop Evil have undergone their fair share of changes. Members, style, labels, you name it and there is a decent change the group has made some kind of tweak in the last decade. This is not a complaint, however, as every new evolution of the group has made them a tighter, more focus band. Since 2010′s War Of Angels the group has again undergone changes, including the addition of drummer Chachi Riot and guitarist Nick Fuelling, as well as their decision to not …

Last night, Frusciante gave us a new instrumental that was a tribute to his newly passed away friend, Wayne Forman. His post reads

This song was recorded for my friend Wayne Forman, the coolest, kindest friend anybody could ever
