Our good friends Alex & Drew have resurfaced from a soft hiatus with a encapsulating segment of releases including their latest single ‘IPad‘, which joins in on the fun. Fresh from the bands first 2022 single ‘High‘, the renowned duo offers fans a captivating new record that can only be described as the happiest break-up record out. To be clear, Ipad is the realization of how an unhealthy relationship has to come to and end.
‘Ipad’ is delivered with a custom Kid-Studio directed visual that showcases, vocalist Drew, as he tours the New York City streets engaging with residents and the many faces that can be seen when we are back outside living life. A disgruntled Drew came up with these words during a social dry-spell, stating “We wrote this song when I felt like I didn’t have anyone to talk to,”. They continued describing this record as:
“It wasn’t that I didn’t have anyone that would listen, but I had reached a level of cognitive dissonance that I felt was unexplainable. I don’t keep a journal so writing this song and the others on this album (and past albums) is my opportunity to organize my thoughts.
The Chainsmokers
The two leading singles ‘High’ and ‘IPad’ will both be making it to the upcoming, yet-untitled fourth album, which we have yet to hear a release date for. We do know, the duo’s last LP, World War Joy, dropped in December 2019.

Sou Fujimoto, a Japanese architect, has decided to unveil his highly anticipated House of Music to the public.
The House of Music features a distinct billow style roof inspired by sound waves. The bee-hive inspired canopy consists of 100 crater-like perforations that allow light in and an underbelly covered in 30,000 gold-colored leaves. The 94 custom heat-insulated glass walls are almost entirely translucent, while thin structured support beams are scattered throughout the building, blending in with the natural surroundings outside.
“There is perhaps no other cultural area where Hungarian art has made a bigger impact than in music… yet the country has no center to provide a comprehensive overview of the treasures of their legacy in the global context of music history,”
The House of Music Hungary aims to fill that need, celebrating the contributions made by Hungarian musicians over the past 2 millenniums. The new cultural landmark is situated in Budapest’s City Park, overlooking Városliget lake with Vajdahunyad Castle as the backdrop.

Dame’s renown for many business and music ventures, but one of the most lucrative choices was to produce the Hip-Hop cult classic that is Paid In Full.
As he was having a conversation with AllHipHop, Dame exclaimed “I’m about to shoot Paid In Full in Newark.” He continued, “It’s what happens after he put all that work on the street and somebody had to get that money back. And I actually was one of the only d******* that lost money. Well, not d******, but I lost money in that one. Everyone else caught bricks, I lost 10 racks, I’m 16.”
Dame also added “There’s a lot of perspectives that people don’t know. We chose three, really one. Now I’m showing all perspectives.” He also added, “So you’ll see a perspective from the stickup kids at the time, see a perspective of the younger dudes, I was a younger dude, the 16-year-olds. You’ll see perspectives from Kevin Childs, Jay Black, everybody, Lou Simms. It’s going to be off the hook. Trust me. A lot of other little stories will be told.”
There is currently no release date for the film.
