The Hit Era: Hit-Boy Reveals His 20 Favorite Nas Songs Of The 2020s
True longevity in hip-hop is rare, and in recent years, Nas has been showing the culture how it’s done. When the world shut down at the start of this decade, he opened up. COVID and pandemic be damned, the Queensbridge heavyweight embarked on a celebrated six-album run. That’s right, in an era where legacy artists rarely rewrite their own stories, Nas did — three times over. At the center of this unprecedented 2020s renaissance stood Hit-Boy, the masterful producer who helped spark a new golden run with the King’s Disease and Magic trilogies. Together, the dynamic duo won a Grammy,…

FKA Twigs has long been a stellar performer, and next year, fans will get to see it on stage: Today (December 1), Twigs announced the Body High Tour, which runs from next March to June.

Uproxx’s Joypocalypse Explains Why Mannequin Pussy Are ‘Essential Listening’ In Modern Punk
Mannequin Pussy have had an excellent past couple years. In 2023, they managed to buy back their masters and re-release their sophomore album, Romantic, on Romantic Records, their own imprint through Epitaph. At the time, they had love for their former label, Tiny Engines, and thanked their new one "for being among our first supporters and for their early belief in our music and secondly for giving us this opportunity." The prosperity has only continued from there. Their latest album is 2024's I Got Heaven, which was one of the year's best-received albums: It was one of the top-ranking projects…
SNX: This Week’s Best Sneakers, Featuring The Jordan 4 Black Cat And More!
Welcome to SNX DLX, your weekly roundup of the best sneakers to hit the internet. With Black Friday Weekend comes the weakest list of sneakers we’ve had all year. We couldn’t even round up five noteworthy pairs, so this is going to be a pretty truncated list. Luckily, what’s here is pretty interesting, whether you like classics like the Air Max 95 OG and classic black and white and the legendary Black Cat Jordan 4, or more contemporary looking styles like the Air Max 95000 and the New Balance 204L. Nothing this week is going to blow you away, but…
The Best Vinyl Releases Of November 2025
Anybody who thought the vinyl resurgence was just a fad was mistaken: The industry has experienced a legitimate revival. As a result, music fans are interested in physical media in ways they may not have if the decades-old medium hasn't made a comeback. That doesn't mean everybody is listening to just their parents' old music, though. That's part of it, sure, thanks to rereleases that present classic albums in new ways. A vital part of the renewed vinyl wave, though, is new projects being released as records, of which there are plenty. Whatever you might be into, each month brings…
Jack White And Eminem Just Released Their Epic Thanksgiving NFL Halftime Show On Streaming
The NFL made a big deal of the halftime shows for its Thanksgiving games this year: Post Malone played at the Dallas Cowboys-Kansas City Chiefs game at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas; Lil Jon did the Baltimore Ravens-Cincinnati Bengals game at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore; and Jack White performed at the Detroit Lions-Green Bay Packers contest at Ford Field in Detroit. It turned out White wasn't alone, even beyond his band: As he performed his White Stripes song "Hello Operator," fellow Detroit icon Eminem made a surprise appearance, turning the song into a mash-up with "'Till I Collapse." Beyond…

From electric bikes to cutting-edge wearables, noise cancelling headphones, handheld gaming systems, and more, these gifts are worth their price tags.

The 2025 Uproxx Cannabis Gift Guide – The Edibles, Flower, And Accessories For The Stoner In Your Life
If you find yourself struggling to figure out what to buy your favorite stoner this holiday season, you're definitely overthinking the whole thing. Take it from our weed-loving writers, getting us weed for the holidays might seem too obvious, too simple, too easy but, we're an easy crowd. People who love to get high love to, well, get high.

So we're going to make this as easy as possible for you by dropping a cannabis…
Fred Again Created The Drum Sounds For One Of His New Songs By Just Banging On A Table
Fred Again.. continued his ongoing USB series of song drops today (November 28) with not one, but two new songs: "Icey" and "Feisty," both of which feature BIA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87XbYi98DTg On Instagram, Fred offered a cool one-minute behind-the-scenes video of the making of "Icey." Specifically, the video focuses on the percussion and how Fred made them simply. He begins by using his hands and wrists to bang out a rhythm on the table. He then adds sounds like a marker clinking against a glass and rubbing two markerboard erasers together. In a recent post, Fred discussed how his recent output has…
Criterion’s Wes Anderson Box Set Is The Full-Proof Gift For Film Lovers
Most people probably don't remember this, but from 1992-2002, the MTV Movie Awards gave out an honor for Best New Filmmaker. For a show whose awards ranged from Best Kiss to Best Fight, this particular category remains surprisingly sophisticated and has aged incredibly well. The initial trophy went to the late, great John Singleton for his instant classic Boyz N The Hood and subsequent years included names that would become box office juggernauts (Christopher Nolan for Memento, Guy Ritchie for Lock, Stock And Two Smoking Barrels, Doug Liman for Swingers) and some of the great artists of their generation (Spike…
Ed Sheeran’s New Deluxe Edition Of ‘Play’ More Than Doubles The Length Of The Original Album
Upon its initial release on September, Ed Sheeran's new album Play had a fairly standard 13 songs. With the latest deluxe edition that's out today (November 28), though, Sheeran has more than doubled that, to 27 total tracks. Of the 14 bonus tracks, five are brand-new songs. Among the highlights is "Skeletons," a rhythmic song that sees Sheeran singing navigating conflict in a relationship: "Don't wanna make an enemy of you / And it breaks my heart / We're diggin' up old skeletons at 2 / When our bodies could be / Makin' the most of our time in this…
Indiecast Addresses Listeners’ Emails
Steven and Ian open this week with an extended dialogue about an ongoing war at concerts, especially ones featuring aging artists -- the "sit down!" people vs. the "I'm not gonna sit down!" people. Who is right, and how can this be resolved? This also do a "yay or nay" on The Lemonheads, whose frontman Evan Dando has a new memoir out. Then they answer listener emails about college radio, the proper set length time, the preponderance of "deluxe" editions for recent indie releases, and the first "great" indie album. In Recommendation Corner, Ian talks about the band Some Images Of…
Kehlani Delivers A Throwback R&B Vibe In Her Old-School ‘Out The Window’ Video
Kehlani teased a new album set for 2026 in a recent interview (an adorable chat conducted by her young daughter). Presumably, the recent single "Out The Window" will be included. Kehlani is definitely giving her all to the song, as today (November 26), she shared a video for it. The visual is very much inspired by old-school R&B videos, complete with the bottom-left-aligned credits at the start. She even uses a payphone! (Younger readers: that's like a cell phone but tethered to the inside of a glass box on a sidewalk.) Kehlani discussed the song in a recent interview with…
Lil Baby Announces ‘The Leaks,’ His Second New Project Of The Year, And Drops ‘Middle Of The Summer’
In case you've missed it, Lil Baby has been busy lately. Every week for the past few, Baby has dropped a new song in a series dubbed "WHAM Wednesdays." So far, we've heard "All On Me" featuring G Herbo, "Real Sh*t," "Otha Boy," and "Try To Love." This all comes after Baby released WHAM, which Uproxx's Elliott Wilson named one of 2025's best albums at the mid-way point, at the top of the year. So, it would be understandable for fans to be skeptical that this flurry of singles meant a new project was on the way. But, one indeed…
Sabrina Carpenter Reflects On The Emotional End Of Her ‘Short N’ Sweet’ Tour: ‘I’ve Gone Through 6 Boxes Of Kleenex’
Sabrina Carpenter kicked off her Short N' Sweet tour back in September 2024. Now, over a year later, it's finally over, as she wrapped up with six shows at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles last week. Now that the tour is finished, Carpenter finds herself in her feelings about the closing of this chapter. Sharing photos from the final two concerts on Instagram yesterday (November 25), Carpenter wrote: "Shows 5 and 6! just the greatest way to give this tour the goodbye she deserves [lips emoji] more short n' sweet tour thoughts and pictures coming soon… (I've gone through 6…
Oasis’ Reunion Tour Was In Pre-Production For Well Over A Year: ‘Lots Of Well-Kept Secrets’
The Oasis reunion tour is over (at least for now). This has some people feeling reflective, including some of the tour staff, one of whom just revealed that the tour's pre-production period lasted 14 months. Jon Shrimpton, the tour's live video director and designer, shared a post that features some neat behind-the-scenes photos and videos from the tour. The caption reads in part: "And there it was.... gone!.... after 14 months of pre-production, lots of well kept secrets, and 5 months of some of the most incredible sights and sounds I've ever seen at a stadium show, here we are.…
Lil Uzi Vert Doubles Down On Their Comeback with The Surprise Single, ‘Relevant’
Earlier this week, Lil Uzi Vert made a triumphant comeback after a year spent out of the spotlight with a new single, "Chanel Boy." But Lil Uzi Vert has never done anything halfway. Just hours later, they've already released another new single, "Relevant." In an abstract video, Uzi debuts a new hairdo, shows off a slick, high-fashion wardrobe, and blasts listeners with the rapid-fire flow that first earned them their rap name. "Relevant" does exactly what it sets out to do: remind listeners why they're so invested in the Philadelphia rapper in the first place -- and keep them that…

A few days ago, the film again got a new title, as it's now called How To Make A Killing. There have been major casting changes, too.

Soundtracks Are The Pop Sensation Standouts At The 2026 Grammys
Not only have 2025 blockbusters found significant success at the box office, but they also garnered acknowledgement at the upcoming 68th Annual Grammy Awards. With nominations announced earlier this month, repeat titles in popular and soundtrack categories were also among some of the most notable movies this year.

Mavi Drops A New Mixtape, ‘The Pilot,’ Featuring Earl Sweatshirt, Smino, And More
North Carolina rapper Mavi has been garnering some strong grassroots buzz over the past couple of years, thanks to well-received projects such as Let the Sun Talk, Laughing So Hard, it Hurts, and last year's Shadowbox. Today, he extended this run with a new mixtape, titled The Pilot. In its press release, he reveals the title is inspired by television, as much as aviation -- the pilot of the title refers to the first episode of a TV series, which is usually produced as a standalone proof of concept before the show is actually picked up for air. You could…

Rosalía Reveals She Has ADHD But Doesn’t Treat It
SubwayTakes has become one of the coolest new internet talk shows of the past couple years, with the premise being that guests share one specific opinion they have and explain their position. Rosalía was a guest on a recent installment, and in the extended interview (above), she discusses having ADHD. While chatting with host Kareem Rahma, Rosalía looked away mid-conversation before explaining, "I get so distracted with sounds. I have ADHD." Rahma asked if she treats the condition and Rosalía responded, "I let it be." After Rahma shared his own experience of not treating his own ADHD, Rosalía said she…
