Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has teamed up with funk legend George Clinton for a new single titled “Ezekiel’s Wheel.”

Arriving ahead of Erick’s forthcoming debut solo album, I’ve Never Been Here Before, “Ezekiel’s Wheel” demonstrates his style, combining soul, funk, and hip-hop influences with free-flowing verses inspired by his upbringing attending church with his family in Flatbush, Brooklyn. Between Erick’s stanzas, Clinton interjects with anchoring lines like: “And there it is/ so goes the story/ Do the best you can/ and then funk it.”

The single features a beat produced by Matt Zara and arrives today along with a visualizer consisting of shots of Erick and Clinton. Watch it below.

So far, Erick has shared three other singles from I’ve Never Been Here Before. In July 2023, he dropped the lead single “Parkour,” which featured production by James Blake. In October, he shared “Ambrosia” featuring Channel Tres,...

Returning for its second year, MPTF's fundraising telethon, Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood’s Crews raised $786,512 on Saturday night to benefit the 100-year-old charity’s support of entertainment industry members in need, exceeding the original goal of $750K.

Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood’s Crews aired live on Ktla (Channel 5 in Los Angeles) on December 9, with presenting sponsors City National Bank and UCLA Health leading the charge on the philanthropic endeavor. Yvette Nicole Brown and Tom Bergeron returned as hosts of the evening and served as two of the producers along with the return of producers Phil Rosenthal (Everybody Loves Raymond and Somebody Feed Phil) and David Wild (Let’s Go Crazy: The Grammy Salute to Prince and The 63rd...

The Motion Picture & Television Fund’s second annual Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood’s Crews telethon exceeded its fundraising goal by raising $786,512 on Saturday night, the nonprofit said.

The telethon, co-hosted and co-produced by Yvette Nicole Brown and Tom Bergeron, aired live on Ktla in Los Angeles, aiming to raise relief funds for entertainment industry members impacted by the dual WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes this year.

It had set a goal of raising $750,000 this year after raising $865,000 a year ago.

Performances during the two-hour telecast included from Annette O’Toole and Michael McKean, Chris Mann, Darren Criss, Harry Northup, Lalah Hathaway, Leslie Odom Jr, Musyca Children’s Choir, Tausha with The Boxmasters, and Wendy Liebman. Special guests included Awkwafina, Billy Bob Thornton, Camilla Belle, Clark Gregg, Colin Farrell, Colman Domingo, Cristo Fernández, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Ike Barinholtz, Jay Ellis, Jeff Bridges, Jimmy Jam, Jodie Foster, John Stamos,...

MPTF's fundraising telethon for crew members in need will return for its second time. Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood’s Crews will air live on Ktla (Channel 5 in Los Angeles) on December 9, 7-9 pm Pt.

Yvette Nicole Brown and Tom Bergeron return as hosts and serve as two of the producers for this uplifting, entertaining evening of stories, songs, and celebrities— all to raise emergency relief funds for workers in need. MPTF’s first telethon last December received an LA Area Emmy nomination and raised over $850K to provide for the entertainment industry’s most vulnerable community members. Now the need is even more urgent with tens of thousands of industry workers impacted by the two strikes in 2023, which will have major personal financial ramifications well into next year. A goal of $750K has been set for the two-hour broadcast.

This live televised event sees the return...

Flatbush Zombies member Erick the Architect has announced his highly-anticipated debut solo album, I’ve Never Been Here Before, out February 23rd. As the latest preview, the rapper has shared the new single, “Shook Up,” featuring Joey Bada$$ and Farr.

The 16-track LP delves into deeply personal themes of Black resilience and fearlessness, soundtracked by intertwining sounds of hip-hop, soul, dub, and psych. Linden Jay, T-Minus, and James Blake served as producers, with Westside Boogie, George Clinton, Channel Tres, and Kimbra contributing features.

After years of collaboration, “Shook Up” is the first track to see Erick and Joey Bada$$ unite as a rap duo. In a press statement, Erick said, “I’ve always admired Joey’s ability to tell stories and he came to mind as soon as Linden and Romeo played me the demo of the record. I loved bringing both of these worlds together, as I’m a...

Erick the Architect has moved 2,790 miles from New York City and landed in Los Angeles. As one third of legendary hip hop group Flatbush Zombies, Erick changed the soundscape of the genre as the trio’s rapper-producer — pushing the Zombies into bold new sounds and narratives that both confounded and inspired fans and cementing themselves as one of the most respected crews in hip hop.

While the tight-knit act has often been labeled as “psychedelic hip hop,” their music went beyond that narrative, and at times, explored the darkness of death and depression.

The Motion Picture & Television Fund said Tuesday that the Lights, Camera, Take Action! Caring for Hollywood’s Crews fundraising telethon will return for its second edition December 9, airing live on Ktla-Los Angeles from 7-9 p.m. Pt.

It will also stream on the MPTF’s website.

Yvette Nicole Brown and Tom Bergeron are back to host after doing the same last year, when the telethon raised more than $850,000 and was nominated for an L.A. Area Emmy.

A goal of $750,000 has been set for this year’s broadcast, which so far is expected to include appearances by Camilla Belle, Kyle Bornheimer, Jeff Bridges, Darren Criss, Lena Dunham, Colin Farrell, Jason George, Clark Gregg, Lalah Hathaway, Jodie Foster, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, Wendy Liebman, Michael McKean, Leslie Odom Jr, Annette O’Toole, Phil Rosenthal, Daniela Ruah, Tiffany Smith, John Stamos, Billy Bob Thornton, Wilmer Valderrama, Ming-Na Wen and David Wild.

Juneteenth, which falls on June 19, commemorates the fall of slavery in the United States.

It celebrates the anniversary of the order made by Major General Gordon Granger on June 1965 that proclaimed freedom for slaves in Texas. The order was actually made two years after Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation.

In a tweet Monday, former President Obama explained it as the “delayed but welcome news of freedom reaching the enslaved Black folks in Galveston, Texas.” In 2021, President Biden made Juneteenth a federal holiday.

Many networks are marking the occasion with Juneteenth TV specials or movie marathons showcasing Black talent and/or excellence. See our viewing guide below:

Tributes are pouring in for Lisa Marie Presley after her death was announced late on Thursday (12 January).

The only daughter of the late rock ‘n’ roll legend Elvis Presley, Lisa Marie died aged 54 after being taken to hospital for reasons yet to be disclosed, her mother Priscilla Presley said in a statement.

“It is with a heavy heart that I must share the devastating news that my beautiful daughter Lisa Marie has left us,” the statement read. “She was the most passionate, strong and loving woman I have ever known.”

Just two days ago, the mother and daughter were in attendance at the 80th Golden Globes in support of Austin Butler, who won the award for Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Drama for his portrayal of the King of Rock in Baz Luhrmann’s biopic Elvis.

The Golden Globes organisers said Presley had been “a very welcome presence” at Tuesday’s awards,...

While some people accuse the Grammys of being a popularity contest, this is not really accurate. The award show often features many acts that are not widely known by the general public, some of which even go on to win big. This year, among the Harry Styleses and Beyonces of music, let’s consider which under-the-radar artist could get their moment to finally shine in the mainstream.

It’s been nearly nine years since the Robert Glasper Experiment released Black Radio II, the second, Grammy-winning installment of his mélange of contemporary jazz, beat-heavy hip-hop, and neo-soul melodies. Since then, Glasper disbanded the Experiment, embarked on soundtrack work such as the 2020 film The Photograph and the Bel-Air TV series with Terrace Martin, and engaged himself in damaging social media controversies. There has been a resurgence in popular support for jazz, too, and that’s partly thanks to Glasper (he contributed to Kendrick Lamar’s 2015 masterwork To Pimp a...

Spoiler Alert: Do not read ahead if you have not watched Season 5, Episode 12 of “The Masked Singer,” which aired May 19 on Fox.

In the end, perhaps it was Omarion’s previous career as a professional rollerblader that gave him away. Omarion was the latest celebrity to be revealed on “The Masked Singer,” during Wednesday night’s semifinals episode. (Scroll down to watch his unmasking.)

Omarion was the Yeti, whose skill rollerblading on stage while singing under a heavy costume had impressed the show’s panelists.

“I was able to reveal my hidden talent, which is rollerblading,” the singer told Variety. “A lot of people don’t know, early on before I was a musician, I was a professional rollerblader… I really attribute that aspect in my life to being a fearless kid. I was on the 12 foot halfpipe. So it was really cool to show my music and my hidden talent at the same time.

The 52nd annual NAACP Image Awards will present its main ceremony live Saturday at 8 p.m. Et/7 Ct on BET, with the show to simulcast on fellow ViacomCBS outlets BET Her, Comedy Central, Logo, MTV, MTV2, Paramount, Pop, Smithsonian, TV Land, VH1, BET Pluto, CMT and for the first time CBS.

The two-hour show will be hosted by Black-ish star Anthony Anderson, who won the Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series category earlier this week as part of a five-day blitz that saw the organization hand out awards in more than 70 categories honoring the accomplishments of people of color across the fields of film, TV, music, literature and social justice in voting by the public.

The shortlists for the Academy Awards’ two music categories are out, and while there are few surprises among the 375-member music branch’s 15 choices for best original score, there’s a remarkable shift in the original song category: Nearly half of the 15 songs on that list emerged from narrative films or documentaries whose casts or subjects were predominantly Black.

Most of these songs had already been tagged as leading contenders, even though it was hardly a certainty they’d all make the shortlist. Among them: Janelle Monae’s “Turntables” from the voter-suppression doc “All In: The Fight for Democracy,” Mary J. Blige’s “See What You’ve Done” from the prison-sterilization documentary “Belly of the Beast,” John Legend’s “Never Break” from the young-actor doc “Giving Voice,” Leslie Odom Jr.’s “Speak Now” from “One Night in Miami,” H.E.R.’s “Fight for You” from “Judas and the Black Messiah” and...

Nominations for the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards will be announced on Wednesday, November 20, and it has been an especially good year for R&b thanks to new music from a series of rising stars like Khalid, Ari Lennox, Ella Mai, Anderson Paak and H.E.R., not to mention R&b mainstays including Fantasia, Raphael Saadiq, Mariah Carey and India Arie. And it wouldn’t be the Grammys without Beyonce, who released not one but two albums this year (“Homecoming: The Live Album” and “The Lion King: The Gift“).

Here are the top seven contenders who I think have the strongest potential to clean up in the R&b field this year.

Grammy History: 23 wins, 66 nominations | R&b Field: 18 wins, 30 nominations

As the most nominated woman in Grammy history, Beyonce has proven that she’s an all-time great in the eyes of the recording academy.

In September of 1986, Miles Davis released Tutu, his first album for Warner Bros. after three decades as a Columbia artist. But what fans of the late trumpeter didn’t know at the time was that he had originally started recording an entirely different LP for the label. Begun in 1985 and eventually shelved before it was complete, that album — Rubberband — will finally come out on September 6th, following a preview Ep that came out on Record Store Day 2018.

Original producers Randy Hall and Zane Giles finished the project along with Davis...

Smokey Robinson lends his vocals to Anderson .Paak’s soulful new song, “Make It Better,” set to appear on the musician’s upcoming album, Ventura, out April 12th.

“Make It Better” boasts a throwback groove of dusty and punchy bass fleshed out with slick guitars, silky strings and more futuristic synth flourishes. The lyrics find .Paak detailing the ups and downs of a relationship, but always striving to make things work, while Robinson provides some tender back-up harmonies.

“Make It Better” arrives with an Andy Hines-directed music video as well.

Pharrell may be the go-to guy if you’re looking for a hit song, but he’s probably also the guy to go to if you’re looking for a potential Academy Award winning song, too. After the Despicable Me 2 track, “Happy,” nearly got Pharrell the award for Best Original Song, it’s only logical that he’d head back to the drawing board to see which original tracks he can cook up for another movie next. His newest venture comes in the form of the song, “Runnin’,” for the upcoming film, Hidden Figures.

Pharrell actually contributes two songs to the movie – one solo track in “Runnin’” and then a duet with Lalah Hathaway in “Surrender.” Both songs have some similarities between each other with a retro throwback feel, but that makes sense given the time period that the movie takes place in. Hidden Figures, which releases on December 25th,...

Yesterday, Toronto experienced Hidden Figures Live! Following select footage from Hidden Figures, an audience at the Toronto International Film Festival was treated to a live concert with performances by Pharrell Williams, Kim Burell, and Lalah Hathaway and appearances by Taraji P. Henson, Octavia Spencer, and Janelle Monáe!

You can watch highlights from the experience now.

Hidden Figures is the incredible untold story of Katherine G. Johnson (Taraji P. Henson), Dorothy Vaughan (Octavia Spencer) and Mary Jackson (Janelle Monáe)—brilliant African-American women working at Nasa, who served as the brains behind one of the greatest operations in history: the launch of astronaut John Glenn into orbit, a stunning achievement that restored the nation’s confidence, turned around the Space Race, and galvanized the world. The visionary trio crossed all gender and race lines to inspire generations to dream big.

Hidden Figures will hit theaters on January 13, 2017.

The Toronto International Film Festival provided a soft landing for about 30 minutes of scenes from Theodore Melfi’s “Hidden Figures,” the 20th Century Fox drama about three African-American women who provided the mathematical brainpower that helped launch John Glenn into space.

To be clear, the film’s official release date is January 13, 2017 — for now. However, this comes out of Elizabeth Gabler’s Fox 2000 division, which also shepherded “The Devil Wears Prada” and “Life of Pi,” and the studio has been considering its awards options on the title for months. They worked with Tiff to create an official event for the unfinished film — rare for the festival, which generally reserves its attention for completed works.

The 44-year-old actor, best known for playing Theo Huxtable on The Cosby Show, made a surprise appearance Wednesday on American Horror Story.

His scene was brief – he showed up at the beginning of the episode, sporting a smart fedora and a big grin. But by the look and sound of things, he is likely to make a comeback. He's introduced as a possible old lover of Desiree Dupree (Angela Bassett).

"I'm sorry, but I couldn't stay away," he tells Desiree.

Glasper has helped change that with his release of "Black Radio," which was a top seller on...
