The first episode of Kevin Abstract’s Viceland show American Boyband is here. Titled “Makings of a Popstar,” the episode follows Kevin and Brockhampton as they make their way up the West Coast on the first leg of Abstract’s first headlining tour. According to Viceland, the series will follow Kevin along on his “mission to translate his faithful online following into real world success.” The rise of Kevin Abstract has been nothing short of inspiring and the show being put together by Vice does a great job of showing what Kevin and Brockhampton are all about.

Denzel Curry dropped off another stray demo today following the release of his “Hate Government” demo from a few weeks back. “Equalizer” stays true to the grimy, knock-your-teeth-out sound he has come to embody.

Give it a listen below and check out “Hate Government” while you’re at it.
Shabazz Palaces are gearing up for the release of their upcoming album Quazarz: Born on a Gangster Star.

Give the track a listen below and enjoy.

Rae Sremmurd has a penchant for making party anthems and they might have another one with their feature on Bobo Swae’s “Rowdy.” The song was inspired by partying in Miami, and although it has a laid back vibe for what we’re used to from the Sremmurd crew it definitely has a wild, warm weather feel to it. Check it out below.
