Fresh off an interview with the collective, Complex editor Noah Callahan-Bever has confirmed the album will now drop on September 4th. Let’s try to remain patient ladies [...]

Chicago’s been on a role of producing a lot of new talent over the last year, and Kids These Days, are not only at the forefront of it, but could possibly be our kid’s generations next legends. Recreating Kanye West’s “Flashing Lights” and calling it their own, I’m instantly given chills everytime I watch this [...]

Santigold also appeared at the festival, performing the very catchy Disparate Youth from her latest album Master Of My Make-Believe. This song gets even more catchier [...]
