During his show at The Novo in LA last night, ScHoolboy Q told the audience that his daughter skipped the show to go to the Mac DeMarco concert down the street instead. ScHoolboy Q shared, "This f**king girl chooses to go to f**king Mac DeMarco over her daddy's show... Ain't that f**ked up? But she'll be here Monday though. She went with her friends, she's like 17…"

In 2014, Yonkers rapper BigStickTom recorded "5 Cell Phone" in an attic for $20. Nearly 12 years later—after being evicted, living in his car, and staying at a homeless shelter—Tom worked to blow the song up. He posted on TikTok and Instagram every day, and his clips started to get traction, with CONCRETE BOY BOAT^ and Swae Lee Lee Swae liking his posts. Eventually the underground took notice, and after moken trol aka mo control brought him onstage, he’s appearing on bills alongside osquinn, feardorian, and yuke 🖕🏽. Talking to Tom on the phone, he expressed nothing but gratitude for the newfound success and validation that came with his decision to revisit a song from a decade ago. It’s already changed his life significantly: "It's the same song from 10 years ago…Now there's different people."

Before bringing out Chappell Roan as a surprise guest in LA, Charli xcx told the crowd: “I asked a friend of mine if she would come and sing a song with me, and they said, ‘The only way I’m doing it is if it’s this song,’ so you have her to thank.” Then they performed Charli’s 2014 song “Boom Clap.” During each night of the Music, Fashion, Film Tour, Charli has been performing a different fan-favorite song or deep cut, and tonight, Chappell got to pick.

Kelela is proof that chasing your dream has no expiration date. She didn't release her debut mixtape 'Cut 4 Me' until she was thirty. Now forty-three, Kelela is still finding new listeners. On Apple Music radio, she spoke about the assumption that if you haven't made it by nineteen, you've missed your window. She shared, "I think we live in a culture of prodigiousness—if you don't do it out the gate, if you're not standing on a stage by the time you're 19, it might be over for you...I'm definitely proof that it's not over, guys." Pushing past that feeling, she said, took real courage. Kelela is here to tell you that no one is too old, or too young, to make it happen. Pick up the mic, the MIDI, the instrument, etc. The time is now.

Happy Birthday to Daniel Johnston would've turned 65 today. 🕊️🩵 In the early ’80s, a young Daniel Johnston was working at a McDonald’s in Austin, Texas. Instead of just handing out fries, he was handing out cassette tapes, sometimes slipping his homemade albums into customers’ to-go bags. After Johnston’s appearance on MTV’s 'The Cutting Edge,' label executives started calling almost immediately, but McDonald’s was the only place he had reliable access to a phone. Word spread fast around Austin and soon people were coming in not for the Big Macs, but for Daniel Johnston.

Dijon and Mk.gee just raised the bar for wedding bands everywhere. Last week, producer, songwriter, and director Jack Karaszewski, who worked extensively with the pair on Dijon’s ‘Absolutely,’ married Danica Kleinknecht, who has directed videos for both artists—including many of the now-iconic visuals for Mk.gee’s ‘Two Star & The Dream Police.’ To celebrate two of their friends tying the knot, Dijon and Mk.gee formed a wedding band, joined by fellow collaborators Henry Kwapis, Paul Dally, and Parker and Marshall Mulherin. They rolled out Big Star’s “Thirteen” for the couple’s first dance, alongside covers of Wings’ “Let Me Roll It” and Cat Stevens’ “Trouble.”

During Turnstile’s show at The Criterion in Oklahoma City on October 5, Brendan Yates paused mid-performance after he saw a security guard attempting to hit a fan who tried to cross the barrier. Yates immediately kicked out that security guard from the venue and thanked the other members of security who were “doing a great job.” “There’s no need for anyone to be swinging on anyone just coming over the barrier. That security guard cannot be here…and the rest, thank you for adjusting and keeping this peaceful,” Yates told the crowd before resuming the show.

Jason Mraz has been a working avocado farmer for over two decades. If you live in California, there's a solid chance his avocados have ended up in your Chipotle order. In 2004, Mraz bought an orchard near San Diego, eventually converting it into Mraz Family Farms. They’re a certified organic, fair trade, regenerative operation that has nearly 1,000 avocado trees on the property that date back to the mid-1970s, planted by the man who sold Mraz the land. The farm has since expanded to also grow passionfruit and coffee—notable given that Mraz first broke into music playing San Diego coffee shops in 2000. The farm produces over 30,000 pounds of avocados annually and supplies Chipotle directly. In 2021, Mraz joined Chipotle's Aluminaries Project as a mentor supporting sustainable food systems. He's also testified before the California Assembly in favor of carbon sequestration credits for farmers and climate resiliency legislation. Mraz shared his perspective on the whole thing in a 2024 interview with ‘Green Matters’: "If a farm is done right, it'll outlive its farmer."

JPEGMAFIA is claiming the throne as the king of experimental rap, which is why he named his next album ‘EXPERIMENTAL RAP.’ “I’m already the best in this space of experimental rap. There’s no one who competes with me. People cannot do what I do,” he tells P&P. “So me naming it ‘Experimental Rap’ is just me laying claim to something I already had.” “Other people in this genre, they want to pretend and try to be cool and be like, ‘I don’t want to be experimental rap. I want to be something else. I want to f**king rap like Lucki. I want to make songs that the young people make,’” he adds. “I’m not having a midlife crisis, musically, so I don’t really need to do that. I can just be myself, and I let other people try to figure out who they are at 40 or whatever.” Our full interview with JPEGMAFIA is coming soon.

Happy birthday to solange knowles, who turns 40 today. In multiple interviews over the years, Solange has spoken about her early obsession with Nasir Jones. At her Christian school in junior high, she was told to remove a shirtless poster of Nas from her locker that showcased his "God's Son" tattoo. The administration called it blasphemous. Solange pointed out that a student nearby had a poster of Justin Timberlake showing his cross tattoo, and she refused to back down. Her parents left the decision to her, so she took the in-school suspension—and kept the poster up. "I took that for Nas," Solange told NPR in 2014. By the time she met him in ninth grade, Beyoncé was on his label at Columbia, and he'd already heard the story.
