What’s happening

Beastie Boys co-founder Mike D has officially released his second standalone solo single of the month, "What We Got." Arriving hot on the heels of his early May comeback track "Switch Up," the new cut further expands the legendary rapper's first sustained wave of studio recording activity in 15 years. Built around a deliberate, measured tempo, layers of heavily distorted punk-rock guitars, and echo-drenched vocal swagger, the track breaks completely free from standard hip-hop conventions before swerving into a dreamy, atmospheric melodic coda.

The track was birthed from an ongoing series of collaborative, experimental studio sessions involving Mike D alongside his sons, Davis and Skyler Diamond—members of the alternative band Very Nice Person. The generational team-up also recruited musicians Jason Lader, Benjamin Pacheco, and Kevin Rhomberg, with production handled by hitmaking alternative R&B and hip-hop producers Carter Lang and Tyran Donaldson. The dense arrangement was ultimately mixed by Kendrick Lamar's longtime engineer, Derek “MixedByAli” Ali, at No Name Studios.

The surprise digital drop lands at an incredibly pivotal moment for the 60-year-old MC's rare live renaissance. The release perfectly timed with a pair of highly anticipated, completely sold-out weekend pop-up performances at the Xanadu Roller Arts skating rink in Brooklyn, New York. Continuing to deliberately step away from massive, traditional commercial arenas in favor of intimate, community-oriented spaces, Mike D has also formally revealed a sweeping European headlining tour for this summer. The international routing is scheduled to kick off on June 5th with a back-to-back residency at 26 Leake St in London before making major stops at Germany's Saalchen, Portugal's Primavera Sound Festival, Ireland's Beyond The Pale, and wrapping up on June 20th at Paris's Beyond The Streets exhibition.

Beartooth frontman Caleb Shomo has shared a deeply personal statement across his social media channels, coming out publicly as a proudly gay man. Addressing recent speculation surrounding his personal life, Shomo detailed his long journey toward self-reconciliation, noting that confronting his sexuality head-on has been a vital path toward experiencing true self-love. The vocalist revealed that after spending a decade burying his feelings with alcohol, choosing sobriety allowed him to unpack his identity and a religious upbringing that previously fueled years of depression and self-loathing across the band's first four albums. Looking forward, Shomo promised fans that Beartooth's upcoming studio album will be written with completely unfiltered, wholehearted honesty, refusing to water down any aspect of his lyrical content or self-portrayal. Expressing immense gratitude to the queer community and the fans who have supported him unconditionally, Shomo encouraged anyone else struggling with their identity to practice patience and choose self-honesty over suppression.

A crowdfunding campaign has been officially organized to assist Chad Green, the lead vocalist of Texas death metal outfit Frozen Soul, with the final expenses following the sudden passing of his father, Tony. The GoFundMe initiative was launched to provide financial relief for the family, as Green revealed the heartbreaking news that he lost his father while out on the road. In a deeply personal and vulnerable statement shared across his social media channels, Green opened up about navigating profound grief, navigating past estrangement, and the harsh economic realities of the modern touring industry.

"I lost my dad a few days ago. He's the second family member I've lost while on the road," Green disclosed to his followers. The frontman expressed an overwhelming wave of guilt and regret over time taken for granted, reflecting on how he frequently reminds concert audiences to cherish their loved ones while simultaneously letting his own communication slip. Green noted that despite a rocky relationship during his youth, his father spent his later years constantly checking in on his sons, ready to give anyone the shirt off his back. Due to severe financial strain, Green revealed that the band cannot afford to cancel their final tour dates, forcing him to remain on the road to finish the shows before he can fly home. "Please remember it's never too late to bury the hatchet. Life's too short," Green added, encouraging fans to call their family and friends. Contributions to the memorial and final arrangement costs can be made directly through the link in his social media profiles.

Hip-hop community members and music fans worldwide are mourning the loss of legendary Harlem rapper Rob Base, who passed away peacefully at the age of 59. Born Robert Ginyard, the iconic artist died following a private battle with cancer, surrounded by his loved ones. The heartbreaking news was officially confirmed by his family, arriving just four days after the musician celebrated his 59th birthday.

"Rob's music, energy, and legacy helped shape a generation and brought joy to millions around the world," his family shared in a touching social media statement. "Beyond the stage, he was a loving father, family man, friend, and creative force whose impact will never be forgotten." Emerging from New York in the mid-1980s alongside his late childhood friend and collaborator DJ E-Z Rock, Rob Base etched his name permanently into pop culture history with the 1988 multi-platinum masterpiece "It Takes Two." Fueled by its instantly recognizable James Brown and Lyn Collins sample and Base's commanding opening line—"I wanna rock right now"—the track became a foundational staple of hip-hop and dance music that filled arenas, clubs, and stadium airwaves for nearly four decades. The duo followed the success of their platinum-selling debut album with a string of subsequent hit singles, including "Joy and Pain" and "Get On The Dance Floor," leaving behind an indelible blueprint that changed the landscape of modern party anthems forever.

British glam rock stalwarts The Darkness have released "Masters Of The Universe," the thunderous theme song for Amazon MGM Studios and Mattel Studios' highly anticipated live-action He-Man feature film. Written by frontman Justin Hawkins and guitarist Dan Hawkins—who also produced and mixed the track—the song was crafted in collaboration with acclaimed film composer Daniel Pemberton. The high-energy anthem follows hot on the heels of the movie’s star-studded world premiere earlier this week at the TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood and is now available across all major digital streaming platforms. "When He-Man asked whether we could provide some music for his forthcoming biopic... we dusted off our trusty loincloths, assembled in the courtyard of Castle Darkness and bellowed in unison WE HAVE THE POWER," the band shared in a characteristically witty statement, playfully adding, "Also, Brian May was there.”

The single arrives as part of a massive rollout for the film's musical companion piece, following Lakeshore Records' release of the track "Eternia" last week, which explicitly features Queen icon Brian May. The full soundtrack album is scheduled to drop on June 5th, perfectly aligning with the movie's official theatrical release in the United States. Directed by Travis Knight, the big-screen epic stars Nicholas Galitzine as Prince Adam/He-Man, Jared Leto as the villainous Skeletor, Camila Mendes as Teela, and Idris Elba as Duncan/Man-At-Arms. Beyond their cinematic contributions, The Darkness is gearing up for a monumental second half of the year; the band is slated to support Iron Maiden at a massive Knebworth show this July, release a comprehensive best-of collection titled Crock Of Hits in October, and embark on their largest UK headlining arena tour in 20 years this December, culminating in a debut headline performance at London's prestigious The O2.

Grunge pioneers Pearl Jam have officially found a new drummer to occupy the throne left vacant by Matt Cameron last year. Cameron's departure concluded a legendary 27-year tenure with the band, leaving fans speculating about who could possibly fill his shoes. Speaking on SiriusXM's dedicated Pearl Jam channel, guitarist Stone Gossard confirmed that a permanent replacement has been secured, but the band is intentionally keeping the musician's identity entirely under wraps to build anticipation.

The secret lineup will remain a guarded secret until the fall, when Pearl Jam officially takes the stage on September 27th to headline the closing date of the 10th annual 'Ohana Festival at Doheny State Beach in Dana Point, California. "I love the mystery of it all. It’s so exciting," Gossard explained regarding the decision to withhold the name. "I think the band is very excited that we’re actually getting to play. It’s been a while and the fact that we get to do it at ‘Ohana‘ makes it even doubly exciting. And the fact that nobody knows who’s going to play drums with us even makes it triply exciting." The highly anticipated festival set will mark the band's first official live performance with the new mystery member.

Mexican rock powerhouse The Warning has released their crushing new single, "Ego," out now via Lava/Republic Records. Sung entirely in their native Spanish, the confrontational track lands as one of the heaviest offerings to date from the Villarreal sisters—Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra. The song ignites with a punchy electric guitar intro and razor-sharp riffs, building relentless momentum before being pushed into overdrive by Paulina’s visceral screams. Lyrically, the trio channels defiance into empowerment, taking direct aim at projection, outside criticism, and ego-driven negativity. The high-intensity official music video made its massive broadcast premiere across MTV Live, mtvU, and the iconic Paramount Times Square billboards. "This music video is all about reclaiming your power, embracing confidence, and standing tall in your identity… even when the world is watching," the band shared.

"Ego" arrives hot on the heels of their incendiary anthem "Kerosene," further showcasing the sharp songwriting that has pushed the band's career streams past the 650 million mark following their 2024 breakthrough album, Keep Me Fed. The new music caps off an explosive period for the trio, who recently earned a Latin Grammy nomination for "Qué Más Quieres" and celebrated a massive 30,000-cap hometown triumph with their recent Live From Auditorio Nacional, CDMX concert film. The sisters are currently in the middle of a massive 2026 global takeover; having already hit Lollapalooza festivals across South America, The Warning is preparing to traverse Europe and join forces with Yungblud on the international "Idols" world tour across the U.K. and U.S., which includes a highly anticipated headlining performance at New York City's Pier 17 on June 11th.

The Pretty Reckless have officially released "Dear God," the haunting title track from their highly anticipated fifth studio album, scheduled to drop on June 26th via Fearless Records. Led by frontwoman Taylor Momsen’s commanding and emotionally driven vocals, the single leans heavily into themes of desperation and vulnerability, building from an intimate plea into an explosive guitar solo. "‘Dear God’ is desperation set to music," Momsen shares regarding the track. "When life gets that physical, that brutal, you leave your body and start begging something bigger than yourself to pull you out." The song follows a string of successful precursor singles, including the gritty "Love Me," the Top 20 radio hit "When I Wake Up," and the album's lead track, "For I Am Death," which historically secured the band their record-breaking eighth No. 1 single on Billboard's Mainstream Rock chart.

The 14-track album marks the beginning of an uncompromising creative chapter for the band, arriving on the heels of a massive 12 months that saw Momsen perform with Soundgarden at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, honor Mariah Carey at the 2026 MusiCares Gala, and top the hard rock charts with a holiday cover of "Where Are You Christmas?". To support the new material, the group will launch a major global headlining "Dear God Tour." Fresh off a grueling two-year stadium trek across the globe opening for AC/DC, the band’s upcoming marquee routing will kick off with a North American leg—making prominent stops in New Orleans, Dallas, and Los Angeles—before crossing the Atlantic to wrap up with a series of European dates.

Greta Van Fleet has officially announced that their highly anticipated new single, "Play Your Games," will drop worldwide next Friday, May 29th. The announcement comes as a major relief to fans after the Michigan classic-rock revivalists sparked widespread breakup fears earlier this month by posting a nostalgic video montage captioned, "Thanks for the wild ride. Love, Josh, Jake, Sam & Daniel." On Thursday, the band revealed that the ominous message was actually just a clever lyrical tease for the upcoming track, which marks the group's first official piece of new studio music since the release of their 2023 album, Starcatcher.

To launch the new single cycle, the Frankenmuth-born foursome shared a one-minute sneak peek of the track across their social media channels, set to a video of the band members goofing off and tracking instruments behind the scenes in the studio. In tandem with the single's release, the group is setting the stage for a massive week by scheduling an ultra-rare, intimate pop-up show this Wednesday at New York City's Bowery Ballroom—marking their first live performance since 2024. Amid the excitement for the new music, the band's hometown community is also honoring a solemn milestone, as Gretna Van Fleet, the local resident who famously inspired the band's name, passed away this week at the age of 95.
