My friend Ethan first introduced me to Triathalon by sitting me down last year with next to no context and insisting that I had to listen to a song he had discovered. That song was "South Side" off Triathalon’s 2016 EP, Cold Shower. As I listened to the track, poorly concealing just how much I was enjoying it, Ethan’s grin grew wider and wider. Triathalon’s raw, vulnerable vocals on top of an 808 beat with an incredibly catchy guitar part immediately hooked me in, and I obsessively listened to the song and the rest of the EP over the next week. The band’s component parts may not have been mind–blowing, but the sound their blend created, along with the clever, sparse production, allowed every instrument to breathe and flourish, making them stand out in a sea of vibey, guitar–based lo–fi producers such as Cuco and Kid Bloom.

It's easy to get lost in the milieu that is the Twitter news cycle. With all of their fans at the touch of a button, artists are able to drop the craziest and most exciting of news 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. And no matter how skilled you are at not going down the Facebook news rabbit hole—I myself have fallen prey to the hell that is the Buzzfeed quiz vacuum—it can be hard to pick out the juiciest, most exciting tidbits of entertainment new that actually matter. But fear not, my friends, Street's got your back.

18–year–old London–based R&B singer Cole Basta, aka Col3trane, has made significant waves following the release of his debut project Tsarina in late 2017. I was highly intrigued by what was hailed by Pigeons and Planes and Complex as an artist to watch in 2018 and by some articles comparing his unique approach to pop music to (our lord and savior) Frank Ocean.

I don’t really care for country music. That’s not to say every country artist is terrible, though—far from it. There are definitely some standouts for me in the genre: Carrie Underwood, old Taylor, and, if you’re driving on a hot day with the windows down, perhaps even Florida Georgia Line.

Brian Imanual, known as Rich Brian, is hoping his new debut album, Amen, will help him transition from Vine star to respected rapper.

If you look at any major U.S. music festival, chances are the lineup looks pretty much the same as any other. There is some diversity among the smaller acts, but the headliners this summer are all some variation of Eminem, Kendrick Lamar, and The Killers. Even looking at the smaller acts, it's extremely likely that if an artist is performing at one festival, they are also performing at another one.

Lorde’s debut solo album Pure Heroine only grew in popularity after her single “Royals” climbed to the top of the charts. But what draws me back to the album isn't the same thing that makes “Royals” so good.

Gucci Mane has more to celebrate this week than his 38th birthday—which he declared the holiday of “National Guwop Day”—two days ago. The Atlanta–based rapper’s memoir, subtly entitled The Autobiography of Gucci Mane, is now being adapted for the silver screen.

One of my favorite biological anomalies is a medical condition known as synesthesia. People with this condition associate one sense with a different one. To give an example, the smell of lilacs may make a person think of the color blue, for no particular reason at all. It usually appears in intriguing characters of novels as a way to make them more connected with the world around them, but it’s also prevalent among creatives. Though I am not on this plane of existence, I still think there are ways to have different senses compliment one another. One of my recent endeavors into this area recently has been an exploration into combinations of some of my favorite foods with certain songs. Through these sensory experiments, I hope to make each, both song and food, greater than they are alone. Let’s get weird.

I must admit that I was pretty late to the BROCKHAMPTON game. I had listened to SATURATION I and II when they came out and thought that while the projects definitely had their highlights, they were patchy. Let's be real, “SWIM” is just an Owl City song. In the interest of being ~edgy~, I felt pretty good about avoiding the hype train and was absolutely one of those Odd Future fans who felt threatened that there was a new rap collective in town.

In order to prep for Atlanta’s return, we take a look back at one of the best TV show soundtracks of the decade. The TV show is created and produced by Donald Glover (aka Childish Gambino), so it isn’t exactly a surprise that the Grammy–nominated musician would curate such an incredible collection of songs.

Curated by the one and only Kendrick Lamar, Black Panther: The Album by Various Artists is finally here. Featuring songs that either appear in the eponymous film or are inspired by it, the record is an outstanding celebration of black culture and musical talent. A track–by–track review:

Like the rest of the world, Penn students have many different ways to celebrate Valentine’s Day. Some go on nice dates or reflect on lost love, while others argue about whether the whole holiday is an example of consumerism run amuck.

While it might be painful to hear that Justin Timberlake has seen better days, there’s something to be said for the fact that the most memorable part of the Super Bowl halftime show was Ryan McKenna, the “selfie kid.” For Justin, the halftime performance was a story of redemption. Like the Eagles, he was an underdog. The Janet Jackson wardrobe malfunction at his last performance (over 14 years ago) was long gone, but never forgotten. At the half, he performed to give fans something new to talk about, but we’re not so sure the post–performance gossip is what he was aiming for.

It’s easy to listen to Amy Winehouse and get lost in her voice. Few artists have a sound that somehow rings with both ugly affect and enviable ease. Her lyrics are raw and simple, her stories are relatable, and her early death haunts her songs with a sadness that makes pressing pause an impossibility.

Much has been ado about the Super Bowl halftime show since JT’s severely lackluster–and quite honestly, amateur—performance last Sunday. Prince was a projection and not a hologram as promised, there was no NSYNC reunion, and Timberlake wore possibly the most bland and confusing halftime show outfit ever. When JT ran into the stands in his not–so–grand finale, even the audience members had no clue what was going on. Needless to say, it would have taken another wardrobe malfunction (sorry, Janet) in order to bring some color into that black hole of a spectacle.

We've all been there before. You wake up feeling like today's gonna be a great day, but reality comes in and gives you a curveball. It could be a rough exam, a breakup, or a bad day at the gym. It could even be something small, like getting cold called in lecture when you have no clue what's going on. Whatever the cause, there are lots of reasons why your confidence might need a little pick–me–up. If you're looking for some uplifting hip–hop full of self–confidence, Street's got you covered. Just remember The World Is Yours, and sometimes you just gotta make sure to Keep Ya Head Up.
