Guwop Drops “Woptober” Release Date and More

Beyonce and Jay Z have announced that they will be headlining a Tidal sponsored charity concert at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn.

Bey and Jay will be joined by fellow Tidal artist Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, and Lauryn Hill. Proceeds from the concert will be given to The Robin Hood Foundation, a non profit group dedicated to improving the life of New York City&#39;s poverty-stricken residents by funding food kitchens, schools, and job training programs.

Tickets for the event start at just fifty dollars, which is surprisingly low given the popularity of the acts involved.

The concert will see Jay Z making good on a promise he made at Tidal&#39;s first charity concert last year, when he promised that the show would become an annual event.

Perhaps coincidentally, Tidal announced the concert the same day it was announced that the oft-rumored purchase of Tidal by tech giant Apple wasn&#39;t going to happen. Rumors suggested that Apple was interested in Tidal&#39;s library of exclusive artists and songs, and that the owners of Tidal, including Jay Z, were reportedly eager to sell, as despite rising subscriber numbers, Tidal posted a loss of $28 million dollars last year. Those rumors were squashed last week, however, when Interscope co-founder and Apple exec Jimmy Iovine stated that Apple was more interested in building up their own music services rather than buying up any of their competition.

Everyone loves &quot;Stranger Things,&quot; Netflix&#39;s horror meets coming-of-age series, including Wiz Khalifa, whose new single is both named after and samples the theme song of the hit TV show. 
 
&quot;I took my dreams and made them into something, doesn&#39;t mean I don&#39;t wake up with the same hunger,&quot; Wiz raps over a beat that samples the memorable theme song to &quot;Stranger Things,&quot; originally composed by Kyle Dixon and Michael Stein. The show&#39;s soundtrack has been lauded by critics and has been credited for a resurgence in the popularity of 80&#39;s influenced, &quot;synthwave&quot; music.&nbsp;

The song was written after Khalifa finished his recent &quot;High Road&quot; tour, and apparently the &quot;See You Again&quot; rapper was inspired to create the track after watching the Netflix series during his post tour break and loving it. The song also features fellow Taylor Gang artist JR Donato.

It&#39;s currently unclear if &quot;Stranger Things&quot; will be one of the tracks to appear on Wiz Khalifa&#39;s next album, Rolling Papers 2, which is rumored to be released before the end of the year. Earlier this year, Wiz releasedKhalifa, his fourth consecutive album to chart on the Billboard Top 10.

Audiences didn&rsquo;t know what to make of him when he first began, so he decided he&rsquo;d become a legend. Fans witnessed a historic chapter as Hip-hop honored Snoop Dogg with the prestigious &ldquo;I Am Hip Hop&rdquo; award,&nbsp;Saturday&nbsp;night at the 2016 BET Hip-hop awards.

Fans worldwide will remember as rapper Kendrick Lamar made a surprise entrance as he walked on stage catering to jam-packed Cobb Energy Performance Centre. As the crowd subsided, Lamar then paid tribute to &ldquo;the ultra-smooth West Coast rapper [who] &lsquo;paved away into many hearts&rsquo; with his authentic rap flow and infectious persona&rdquo;:

&ldquo;He mastered the game through tests and challenges that earned him the respect of a college professor, except his game came from the streets,&rdquo; Lamar said Lamar to a silenced Atlanta crowd and millions nationwide, &ldquo;He put [me] on game, so I would avoid the same pitfalls&hellip; Snoop Dogg was the God, and continues to be so&rdquo;.

And just when it seemed the night&rsquo;s memorable ambience couldn&rsquo;t take a deeper dive, Snoop Dogg walked on stage, crowds roaring and applauding, as Lamar handed him the award.

In his acceptance speech, Snoop emphasized on vitalizing modern artists to persist in &ldquo;pushing the envelope&rdquo; and to keep pursuing originality. It almost seemed as if Uncle Snoop were talking to a thousand younger versions of himself:

&ldquo;To all the young rappers in the game, a lot of people don&rsquo;t understand you. Y&rsquo;all are misunderstood. I was misunderstood at the beginning. So you got to keep pushing, be original and diverse. Hip-hop was created many years ago and it&rsquo;s taken people so many places. You have to be who you are&rdquo;.

Atlanta erupted with one more tumultuous applause, paying their homage to the Doggfather as he walked off the stage and (metaphorically) into the ranks among the Hip-hop hall of fame.

Snoop Dogg Awarded 2016 “I Am Hip Hop” Title

On Friday&nbsp;(September 16), Strange Famous Records founder and indie hip-hop mainstay Sage Francis announced a new imprint under the Strange Famous umbrella, Strange Famous Digital (or SFdigi for short). In a statement, the new endeavor was explained thoroughly and included an update on the current roster.&nbsp;&quot;Fans and #StrangeFamous family, get ready for an increase in output and more fresh music from us than ever before,&rdquo;&nbsp;it&nbsp;begins.&nbsp;

Is it a streaming service? 
No.

Is it a digital-download-only label? 
No.

SFdigi is, in essence, an analogue digital label. If that sounds confusing, try being indie-hop label in 2016 while releasing albums the old fashioned way without going into debt. The main thing we want our supporters to know is that they&rsquo;ll be able to access, stream, and purchase the music released on SFdigi as they normally would. Digitally at least. The physical product can be attained directly from us or through the artist. We&rsquo;re expanding in roster while simultaneously eliminating as many middlemen as possible, which feels like a natural and overdue evolution for a staunch independent label that&rsquo;s been releasing music for the past 20 years.

The &lsquo;Digital&rsquo; in SFdigi is there because SFR administers the digital distribution of the artist&rsquo;s music. The artist themselves retains the rights to all physical merchandise, so if they want to manufacture CDs, Cassettes, Vinyl, T-Shirts, 8-Tracks - really, anything - they are in total control of that with no label interference or kickback whatsoever. Of course we&rsquo;re happy to help coordinate the production of physical merchandise if the artist wants us to host it on our website. 
 
With that in mind, here&rsquo;s the analogue angle of the world&rsquo;s newest quasi-digital label:

We will press a limited edition 7-Inch Lathe Cut Record for the first single of every SFdigi release, which will include a download code of the full album. This ensures that every digital release will have an analogue component available even if the artist forgoes doing physical product of their own. We know that many of our fans still want physical product, and we suspect once you see the special 7-Inch collection with cover art by our designated art designer, Pat Jensen, your collection interests will be piqued.

SFdigi&#39;s first official release comes from Denver&#39;s Wheelchair Sport Camp. Titled&nbsp;No Big Deal, the debut album drops&nbsp;September 30.

Roster:

Aupheus (London, UK) 
Dope KNife&nbsp;(Savannah, GA) 
Duncan Jewett&nbsp;(Santa Fe, NM) 
Jivin&rsquo; Scientists&nbsp;(Tucson, AZ) 
Kurtis SP&nbsp;(Brisbane, AU) 
Prolyphic&nbsp;(Providence, RI) 
Seez Mics&nbsp;(Washington D.C.) 
Wheelchair Sports Camp&nbsp;(Denver, CO) 
Xaul Zan&nbsp;(Scribble Jam, 00) 
Yugen Blakrok&nbsp;(Johannesburg, SA)

Sage Francis Announces Strange Famous Digital

It&rsquo;s been one heck of a year for experimental Hip-hop producer DJ Shadow. His latest studio record,&nbsp;The Mountain Will Fall&nbsp;released after a painfully-long recluse, gathering several critical praise, such as being classified &ldquo;impressive in its inventiveness&rdquo; and upheld as his &ldquo;best work since his early-aughts hey-day&rdquo;.

But the year looms far from being over, and DJ Shadow insists he&rsquo;s not finished yet. Just this week, the producer addresses a remixed collection of his ground-breaking debut album,&nbsp;Endtroducing, which features collaborative appearances from artists such as Clams Casino and Hudson Mohawke.

According to Shadow, the album will be included in a 20th&nbsp;anniversary edition package. The deluxe package, Endtrospective, covers the original album, as well as a collection of demos, alternate cuts, live song renditions, as well as&nbsp;Endtroducing Re-imagined.

DJ Shadow also announced twelve special-feature remixes from numerous iconic artists in the electronic scene, such as Prince Paul, Salva, Bondax, Teklife, and Karma Kid. The full package is scheduled for release on&nbsp;October 28&nbsp;via Island.

His original debut album&nbsp;Endtroducing&nbsp;was initially released back in November 19, 1996 under Mo&rsquo; Wax Recordings. Astonishingly, DJ Shadow confessed the album as &ldquo;a product of two years of working with very minimal equipment&rdquo;.

Despite its obstacles, the album gathered widespread acclaim as soon as its release, notably gaining recognition from&nbsp;Alternative Press&nbsp;as &ldquo;an undeniable Hip-hop masterpiece&rdquo; as well as &ldquo;not only one of the most daring and original albums of recent times, but also one of the loveliest&rdquo; from&nbsp;The Guardian.

DJ Shadow&rsquo;s most prominent artistic-feat,&nbsp;Endtroducing, has recently celebrated induction into several professional charts of all-time greatest albums&mdash;various publications involving&nbsp;Rolling Stone,&nbsp;Spin,Pitchfork, and&nbsp;Slant Magazine.

Endtrospective&nbsp;guarantees a look back at one of the scene&rsquo;s most significant chapters of recent times, topped off with bonuses that one simply can&rsquo;t let slip.
