DDG – HANDLING BUSINESS

DDG has released a four-track EP, HANDLING BUSINESS, triumphantly planting his flag in a banner year. The new drop includes the previously released buzzing Real Boston Richey collaboration, “WHAT U BAD FOR,” alongside three brand new tracks, including “HANDLING BUSINESS” with Tory Lanez.

HANDLING BUSINESS is available at all DSPs HERE.

Anticipation for HANDLING BUSINESS has been high since DDG first teased the title track with the aptly titled “Handling Business Freestyle,” which he shared on a stream earlier this month to the tune of over 4 million viewers. The music’s reception—which was amplified by a recent “open verse” challenge on TikTok—prompted a music video featuring just the freestyle. The OG Parker-produced song is rounded out on the new 4-track with a guest spot from Tory Lanez.

HANDLING BUSINESS is rounded out by the rowdy energy of the aptly titled “HANDS IN THE AIR,” and the romantic serenade, “REASON.”

DDG’s 2024 was one to remember, from the expansion of his plaque collection—2023’s “I’m Geekin” was certified RIAA Gold earlier this year—to a hot streak of summer and fall releases that captivated his audience and stoked the coals of his momentum.

Following the success of hyped summer releases, like “copy my drip” and the G Herbo-assisted “Nosey,” DDG began teasing HANDLING BUSINESS with the release of “WHAT U BAD FOR,” which had already taken TikTok by storm prior to its release, thanks to DDG’s shrewd promo collaborations with WNBA superstar Angel Reese and A-list influencer Brooklyn Queen.

As 2025 looms and DDG’s momentum grows, HANDLING BUSINESS offers up a captivating pit stop on his journey to the top.

THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE

FLETCHER releases her first-ever live album — a 21-song double LP called THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE. Available digitally and as a two-LP vinyl edition, THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE features all the hits, deep cuts, and fan favorites performed during the In Search of The Antidote Tour — a powerhouse global run in support of FLETCHER’s sophomore album of the same name. In addition, FLETCHER’s online store is hosting an exclusive download version of the live album with two bonus tracks. Go HERE to stream/download THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE now, and order the vinyl edition HERE.

“This live album feels like such an honoring of the last 5 years I’ve spent on the road,” says FLETCHER. “It has brought about some of the most challenging times in my life, but also more beauty and I ever could have imagined. I’m so grateful to sing face to face with thousands of lil angels around the world and listening to this instantly snaps me back to the energy of being on stage. I hope it takes the fans back to the shows they’ve spent with me, and even if someone has never been able to come to one, just shut your eyes and suddenly we’re scream singing this record together in the flesh. It was made with literal blood, stage sweat and tears. I hope it takes you on a similar energetic ride to the one it’s taken me on all these years.”

With sold out stops at legendary venues like Radio City Music Hall in New York City and the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles, the In Search of The Antidote Tour brought FLETCHER’s phenomenal live show to major cities across the U.S., Europe, Australia, and New Zealand and included performances at Lollapalooza South America in Brazil, Chile, and Argentina. On THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE, the Asbury Park-bred artist shares the entire setlist from the ecstatically received tour, including hits like “Bitter” (from her chart-topping 2020 EP THE S(EX) TAPES) and “Becky’s So Hot ,” (an instantly iconic track that reached No. 3 on the iTunes chart across all genres). One of the most thrilling moments on the album, “Undrunk (Rock Version)” offers up an explosive rendition of her 2019 breakthrough single (a platinum-certified smash that spent several weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 and scored the No.1 spot on Spotify’s Viral Chart).

Featuring a number of tracks from her critically praised 2022 full-length debut Girl Of My Dreams, THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE perfectly captures the powerful balance of larger-than-life energy and unfiltered intimacy that makes FLETCHER’s live show so transcendent. To that end, the album fully delivers on the promise of rave reviews from the likes of Rolling Stone, who proclaimed that “FLETCHER has established herself as one of pop’s most versatile stars. She can pen a heartbreak ballad or craft a raucous dance hit and have tens of thousands sing the words back at her.” With Clash Magazine noting that “FLETCHER’s symbiosis with her wide-eyed fans has only grown in fervour and intensity.”

Along with earlier hits like “girls girls girls,” THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE features plenty of highlights from In Search Of The Antidote — an early-2024 release made in collaboration with GRAMMY®-winning producer/songwriter Jennifer Decilveo. Those standouts include hits like “Eras Of Us” (named a “Song You Need To Know” by Rolling Stone), “Lead Me On ,” “Doing Better ,” and “Pretending,” as well as fan-beloved cuts like “Ego Talking” (a soaring and soul-baring post-breakup anthem) and “Crush” (a wildly hypnotic expression of all-consuming lust). At every turn, THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE channels the electrifying abandon of her latest body of work — a guitar-heavy, gloriously unbridled document of all the heartbreak and healing on her journey toward true self-realization. See below for the complete tracklists to the digital and vinyl editions of THE ANTIDOTE: FLETCHER LIVE.

KSI – DIRTY

KSI has dropped his electrifying new single “Dirty,” out now via Warner Records. Listen HERE.

With haunting production by Matt Zara (Mabel, Niall Horan, Diplo) and lyrics penned by an all-star team, “Dirty” plunges into the turmoil of a toxic, all-consuming relationship. The track captures the agony and ecstasy of being irresistibly drawn to someone you know is no good for you. The brooding, gritty soundscape mirrors the chaos and emotional conflict of this dangerous infatuation.

KSI says: “I wanted “Dirty” to capture that raw, messy emotion of being in a relationship that’s as intoxicating as it is destructive. It’s about that push and pull—the chaos you feel when you can’t let go, even though you know it’s breaking you. The female vocal (who I’m not allowed to say) brings a haunting energy to the track, and I think it’s going to have people talking. I love creating music that sparks conversation and connects with people on a surface or deeper level, and “Dirty” definitely does exactly that.”

“Dirty” follows the massive success of KSI’s Top 10 for five consecutive weeks and Billboard Hot 100 hit, “Thick of It,” which solidified his status as a global streaming powerhouse with over 8 million monthly listeners. Its official video has racked up over 82 million YouTube views, claiming the #1 spot on the platform’s trending chart across 15 countries and cementing its place as a viral phenomenon. On TikTok, the song has seen over 5 billion views, with celebrities like Kim Kardashian and North West, Drake, Kai Cenat, IShowSpeed, Mr Beast, Adin Ross and Logan Paul all joining in on the craze, showing the widespread impact of KSI’s latest musical chapter.

With “Dirty,” KSI continues to push boundaries and redefine his musical narrative. The single not only showcases his artistic growth but also underscores his knack for sparking cultural moments.

KSI is currently recording his third album.

Will Smith + Joyner Lucas – Tantrum

GRAMMY Award winning artist, actor, and multifaceted entertainer, Will Smith and American rapper and actor Joyner Lucas released their new single “TANTRUM” via The Orchard. Listen HERE

“TANTRUM” is a letter to Will and Joyner’s inner children, that part of them still recovering from the difficulties of the past. The anthemic, high-energy track was co-produced by Leo Son and Joyner Lucas, and features Will and Joyner trading powerful rap verses, their anger and determination echoing through their lyrics.

The accompanying music video uses animation by Cartuna Cartoon to create cartoon versions of Will & Joyner as the two face a series of dangerous trials from being stuck in the middle of the ocean, falling out of a skyscraper, and climbing mountains in the desert. Directed by Joyner Lucas and Matthew Bordenave, the “TANTRUM” music video imagery echoes personal struggles expressed throughout the song. Watch HERE.

“TANTRUM” follows several inspirational music releases from Smith this year. This summer marked his official return to music with singles “You Can Make It” featuring Fridayy and Sunday Service Choir hitting at No.3 on Billboard Gospel chart – listen HERE and “WORK OF ART,” a collaboration with Russ, featuring his son Jaden – watch HERE.

Smith debuted “You Can Make It” at the 2024 BET Awards, on June 30th in Los Angeles. The powerful performance found him standing in a large fire pit surrounded by real flames – Watch HERE. Following that momentum, the music video for “WORK OF ART” directed by Willy Rodríguez features a dynamic troupe of dancers set at a grand european style museum. The video incorporates interviews from participants, juxtaposing an elaborate production with real-life, authentic stories.

To celebrate these releases and his return to music, Smith recently played two sold-out shows in San Diego at The Observatory North Park. Fans were eager to see him perform in the US for the first time in many years. Earlier this year, Smith delivered high-energy and electrifying performances at international festivals, including Rock n Rio in Brazil, Mad Cool in Madrid, and MDLBEAST Soundstorm in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

GLASS ANIMALS – TOUR OF EARTH

On their colossal “Tour Of Earth,” record-breaking British band Glass Animals performed at arenas and amphitheatres across North America, but none was more breathtaking than Washington’s The Gorge, where the band played to 30,000 fans. Known as one of the best outdoor venues in the world and described by songwriter, producer, and lead singer Dave Bayley as “a remote, alien landscape,” it was the perfect real-life-movie-set to record “A Tear in Space (Airlock)” live, taken from Glass Animals’ critically acclaimed, UK Top 5, fourth studio album, I Love You So F***ing Much.

WATCH “A TEAR IN SPACE (LIVE AT THE GORGE)” HERE

Bayley shares, “The live show is an unpredictable beast. We don’t use backing tracks. Or click tracks. Every sound you hear is made by us with our fingers and breath, then and there in that moment in a unique way. Sometimes, it ends up faster, sometimes slower, sometimes bigger, sometimes more intimate. Sometimes, the melodies and chords change. Sometimes it’s just chaos, and we have to start over. But we thought it would be cool to put out some of these slightly different live versions. And we’ll start here, with A Tear in Space, live from The Gorge. A 30,000 capacity natural amphitheater on the edge of a ginormous canyon in rural Washington. It looks like a barren alien landscape and building our live set (a spaceship called the international shame station) on that cliff edge…well it just felt like a magic place to play the new album. It just fits. And…the crowd was incredible. And…we didn’t mess up too much.”

Glass Animals is one of the UK’s biggest touring bands. Having just rounded off their “Tour Of Earth,” taking their alien spaceship to North America, Europe, the UK, and Australia to hundreds of thousands of fans over the past year—coming home to headline a sold-out O2 Arena in London—Glass Animals has given the world a love story during hard times. From a sold-out Madison Square Garden, Kia Forum, and two sold-out Red Rocks (watch a show recap HERE), Glass Animals ended their global tour with two sold-out Sydney Opera House shows. Each mammoth performance has reminded fans of our shared humanity, set to the backdrop of space.

It was during the first writing stages of I Love You So F***ing Much that Dave intended to make a space album, but what happened was a remarkable zooming out of the human experience, and zooming back into the thing that binds us all: love. Painting 10 portraits of love in all its messy forms, I Love You So F***ing Much is the most personal record that Bayley has ever written. From the existential to the intimate, from the first love we witness around us as children, to romance, hate, and heartbreak—each song is dedicated to a different side of love. The record has already reached a quarter of a billion streams since its release in July, with 150 million Spotify streams, 90 million YouTube views, and 135 million TikTok views to date. It is the long-awaited follow-up to 2020’s critically revered Dreamland, which sold over 12 million copies globally and gave life to the Diamond Certified hit “Heat Waves,” the record-breaking song that became the biggest international hit from a British band in almost 30 years. In addition, it was the first song to reach #1 with a single writer and producer since Pharrell’s “Happy” and the 11th most-streamed song in Spotify’s history.

Not only have they recently performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live! twice, playing “Creatures In Heaven” and “A Tear in Space (Airlock),” the GRAMMY and BRIT nominated band unveiled a short film in collaboration with VEVO titled “The Extremely Existential Late Show.” Introduced by a robotic television set host accompanied by a special guest: a dog named “Krog The Deranged”—played by Dave’s dog Woody—the band performed songs off I Love You So F***ing Much. This short film followed a brilliant BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge performances of “Show Pony” and cover of “End Of Beginning” by Djo.

Having a bird’s-eye view of life is a view that Glass Animals has become comfortable with. Dreamland was released during the pandemic in 2020, and it was the album that elevated Glass Animals to mythical status. The single “Heat Waves” broke records across the planet, becoming the first song by a British band since Spice Girls’ “Wannabe” in 1995 to claim #1 for 5 consecutive weeks on the Billboard Hot 100. Having achieved GRAMMY and BRIT nominations, being crowned triple j’s Hottest 100 winner, claiming over 44 billion global streams, and becoming the first British band to achieve #1 on the Spotify Global Chart, whilst holding space on the Billboard Hot 100 for longer than The Weeknd’s “Blinding Lights.”

From one infinite song that set the stage for the biggest British contemporary band to break records and tour the globe to the infinite possibility of their profound cosmic fourth studio album, Glass Animals is ready to tell their millions of fans, and perhaps themselves: I Love You So F***ing Much.
