WalyO Returns with N​.​W​.​A. Feat. Michael Jackson - "LA Riots" Single from Re-imagined Version of Dr. Dre's Detox (OK-Tho! Records)


WalyO is a mysterious Connecticut-based producer and beat-maker. Sonically, his style of music often falls somewhere in-between remixes and mash-ups; almost like a musical version of Marvel's beloved zany WHAT IF...? comic book series. However, a press release asserts, "WalyO is NOT a remixer, instead, he creates brand new tracks by chopping up various acapellas from many different songs and re-arranges them into new verses on beats that are in the taste of the so-called artists." Following the success of his 2018 Diplomats-centric project Dipset, We Still Bangin', WalyO has returned with the first single from his next like-minded effort. N​.​W​.​A. Feat. Michael Jackson - "LA Riots" will appear within WalyO's upcoming sophomore project, his own rendition of Dr. Dre's fabled as-yet-to-be released magnum opus, Detox. Honestly, a collaboration between N.W.A. & The King of Pop is not as far-fetched as it sounds on paper... as Michael Jackson's camp was, reportedly, actively reaching out to Dr. Dre to collaborate during the later stages of his career. WalyO has seamlessly blended together vocal samples from Michael Jackson, as well as N.W.A.'s Dr. Dre, MC Ren, Ice Cube & Eazy-E all atop original production work created by WalyO himself. Below, you'll find some additional information on both "LA Riots" & Dr. Dre Detox provided to us by WalyO himself. "LA Riots" Feat. N.W.A. & Michael Jackson is now available to stream on most streaming platforms, via OK-Tho! Records. WalyO says his next single from Dr. Dre Detox will, likely, be "Bullet" featuring Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Kendrick Lamar & Yelawolf.


"Well, mainly, I'm not here to trick anybody to make them think it's new music from [Dr.] Dre and them. I'm, also, a fan, as well as an artist, and this is what I would want from Dre. It's a project I've been waiting for for over a decade. I'm just hoping what I deliver is good enough for fans to appreciate. At the same time, I'm trying to showcase what I can accomplish as a producer. There's a good amount of beat-makers out there that will put out Dre-type beats. I'm trying to take it a step further."

"And as far as the single, it started back in 2018. I made the beat over the Michael Jackson ["They Don't Care About Us"] acapella. Right away, I knew it sounded like some Dre sh*t. At the time, I was still working on my Dipset mixtape, so I wasn't sure if I was gonna do a Michael Jackson project or something else. Over time, it turned out to be something for a Dr. Dre Detox project. It's crazy how right as I was finishing it up, The Riots started happening. I already had the idea for the name beforehand, too; I guess, it's just a coincidence."

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of...

Jet Planes, Islands, Tigers On a Gold Leash: Lorde - "Royals" (The Weeknd Remixo)

I think it's pretty safe to say that The Weeknd (Abel Tesfaye) comfortably teeters the fine line between glitched-out smooth New Age R&B and hard-hitting Hip-Hop ; while the same could arguably be said for 16-year-old New Zealand new-comer, Lorde . Her break-out single "Royals" 1/2 jokingly shouts out semi-common bravado-worthy shit like: diamonds, "gold teeth, Grey Goose ... Cadillacs, Cristal, Maybach ... jet planes, islands, [and] tigers on a gold leash." But now, the Lorde/Weeknd connection has been further solidified, as Tesfaye recently managed to conjure up and release his own "Royals" remix. My beautiful girlfriend said earlier, and I paraphrase, that it "makes her wanna dance lol and she could [likely] hear this remix in a future movie!" Following the wide-spread release of her first 2 EP's (Love Club & Tennis Court) , Universal Republic plans to unleash Lorde 's proper debut album, Pure Heroine between ...

Pop Artist & Surfer Chronicle Intriguing Ex-Pornstar In "SASHA GREY."

Seemingly made to co-exist as thought-provoking companion pieces... "LINDSAY LOHAN" directors Richard Phillips & Taylor Steele are back with their most recent Art Presentation, "SASHA GREY." The 90-second short film was shot in early May @ John Lautner Chemosphere House in Los Angeles, CA. Both striking flicks will be shown on a giant floating video screen [ "Commercial Break" ] @ Garage Center for Contemporary Culture in Venice, Italy (June 1-5). "Adult acting chops" aside, Sasha (23) seems very intelligent, captivating, free-spirited, business savvy, well-mannered, charming... and dare I say, "average." And I really think that's exactly what Phillips/Steele were trying to convey throughout the course of the piece; Grey's beauty, public draw, sheer likeability, and honesty will surely take her very far in future endeavors... Solidifying her [updated] image as a true "Pop Culture Figure." * Featured soundtra...
