Alongside our latest
HYPEBEAST Mix with Apex Martin, it was a great week for music in terms of singles. Some of music’s biggest names came through this week with new releases that included the likes of Future, Travis Scott, Metro Boomin, Young Thug and PARTYNEXTDOOR amongst others. Music goers also got to see a more personal side of JAY-Z this week when he stopped by
BBC Radio 1′s Live Lounge where the rap mogul performed a live solo rendition of “Numb/Encore” to pay tribute to his late friend, Chester Bennington of Linkin Park.
Music fans around the world also had the chance to witness a cultural moment when Pharrell shared an impromptu, yet powerful speech regarding racial inequality and social injustice during
VH1′s Hip Hop Honors ceremony. Also last, but certainly not least, a collaborative project between Lil Uzi Vert and Playboi Cart maybe
coming sooner than we all think so stay tuned and check out our picks from the week below.
