Tory Lanez has found himself on trial in the eyes of the public. The reason is evident: his involvement in the shooting that left Megan Thee Stallion nursing gunshot wounds in her foot. Since the story unfolded in fragmented revelations, many have been quick to turn their back on Tory, who has waited until last night to offer any real insight into his own perspective. As it happens, he decided to take to the booth for clarity, resulting in his second full-length album of the year in Daystar. Given everything that transpired, it’s no wonder he used the introductory track “ Money Over Fallouts” to paint his own picture of what really happened. And unsurprisingly, he opted to deny his involvement in any foul play, essentially accusing Megan’s team of pulling the strings to frame him as a villain. As it stands, it’s unlikely that either side will change their position following Tory’s side of the story. Those that stand for Megan will remain adamantly against him, while his loyal fans will appreciate his perspective on the situation. Either way, there’s plenty to unpack on “Money Over Fallouts” for anybody curious in hearing the Canadian rapper out. Listen Up and Enjoy! “FOREIGN SONGS…

»»Zayn is a man at wits’ end on the lovestruck soul ballad “Better.” The slinky R&B ballad from the new dad dropped on Friday morning and it finds the former boy bander contemplating a love he can’t shake, but might just have to. The song’s chorus makes the heartbreak crystal clear: “Why? Why wait to fight?/ Give it a try/ Or I’ll say goodbye while it’s right/ Can we save tears in your eyes?/ I’m making you cry/ Why wait to hate, can we save love?” The song, co-written by Zayn, is slated for this upcoming third album, which is described in a release as his “most personal project to date. With total creative reign on his third album, Zayn is making the music he has always wanted to.” The accompanying video directed by Ryan Hope finds him waking up alone in in an empty house while some unknown figures surveil him from afar. Malik’s sophomore solo album Icarus Falls album dropped in Dec. 2018 and he’s dropped a string of guest last year on songs by Shaed (“Trampoline”), Sabrina Claudio (“Rumors”), R3hab (“Flames”” and Zhavia Ward (“A Whole New World”). Zayn welcomed his first child, a girl, with girlfriend supermodel Gigi Hadid on Wednesday. “Our girl joined us earth-side this weekend and she’s already changed our world. So in love,” Hadid captioned a black-and-white photo of the baby holding Zayn’s thumb. Listen Up and Enjoy! “FOREIGN SONGS…

«« After literally feeding fans with his new McDonald’s campaign, Travis Scott has decided to quench their thirst by dropping off his new single, “Franchise.” Everything that Travis Scott touches becomes a world- stopping, mind-blowing event—even the release of his new singles. We’ve watched as his Cactus Jack partnership with McDonald’s has resulted in a shortage of products for the fast-food chain, and he’s even connected with filmmaker Christopher Nolan to cook up the theme song for the recently released film Tenet. Travis Scott returns with his latest effort “Franchise,” a track that features Young Thug and M.I.A. The rapper has also been hinting at a new project, either Utopia or Live from Utopia, but we’ll have to wait to learn if that’s a solo record or a Cactus Jack collaborative album. As if the release of “Franchise” wasn’t enough, Scott revealed that the music video’s premiere would be an IMAX experience in partnership with Nolan. Travis also recently told Zane Lowe how he liked with M.I.A. “She reached out to me for something for her album and we tracked it in London,” he said. “She’s just one of my favorite artists as human… When I finished the song, I couldn’t think of nobody else that I could probably just maybe like, body this sh*t. You know what I’m saying? Body this sh*t like as hard as anyone else, any other rapper, any other artists. And just that presence, man. We ain’t felt this presence in a long time. I’m just trying to get this gig sh*t right man. We got to get better, right? You know what I’m saying? Like all of this, the energy man, music, beats, raps, God! Everything, she’s the illest of all time.” Listen Up and Enjoy! “FOREIGN SONGS…
