These two are effortlessly cool. JPEGMAFIA and Denzel Curry is a match made in rap heaven. The two artists were elite on their first collab, "VENGEANCE I VENGEANCE," but their latest song, "JPEGULTRA," managed to top it. Both are in their absolute element, dropping clever bars over one of Peggy's coolest productions. Unsurprisingly, the music video is just as good. JPEGMAFIA and Curry take to the streets with handheld cameras and deliver a visual that's every bit as gritty and stylish as the song that accompanies it.

Barack Obama had genre-spanning selections on his new summer playlist, but rapper and podcaster Danny Brown can't stop laughing at his 2Pac song choice.

You'll be able to catch the full interview tomorrow, August 14. Tyler, The Creator has proven again and again that he is an artist's artist. He truly tries to evolve and experiment with sounds, textures, and genres, to bring a different listening experience to each project. It's why he's become one of the biggest names in hip-hop, especially over the last several years or so. It's been quite a bit since we got a new project from the California chameleon, with CALL ME IF YOU GET LOST being the most recent in 2021. We did get the extended version, The Estate Sale in 2023, but not a truly fresh and separate LP. We are going to hear him collaborate with A$AP Rocky again when DON'T BE DUMB drops on August 30.
