New Jersey's own Noise Rap group dälek returned late last night with new music. dälek announced the impending release of their eighth album, Precipice, coming this April on Ipecac Recordings. News of the album arrives with the release of the song and accompanying video for the Brickyard Boom-Bap track "Decimation (Dis Nation.)" It was directed by founder Will Brooks AKA MC dälek himself. "Precipice was a completely different record pre-Pandemic," Brooks explains. "We had been working on the sketch of what the album was going to be at the end of 2019. I think, me and (Mike) Manteca had narrowed it down to 17 joints out of the 46 or so that we had started with. Me & Joshua Booth had taken the 17 and really fleshed out the joints. The idea was to bounce them back to Mike and, then, arrange [and] write lyrics. 2020, obviously, had different plans for everybody. We, basically, put everything on-hold."


"I ended up doing the Meditations series that year on my own. I think the catharsis of that project, its rawness, The Pandemic, all the death, the social upheaval, everything that went down... when I went back and listened to what we had down... it just wasn't right anymore. It wasn't strong enough. It wasn't heavy enough. It wasn't angry enough. It just didn't say what I needed it to say," Brooks continued. Predominantly the work of Brooks & Manteca (AKA Mike Mare,) Precipice was recorded and mixed by the two band members at their Deadverse Studios in dälek's hometown of Union City, NJ. Tool's Adam Jones guests (guitar/synth) on album stand-out "A Heretic's Inheritance." The album's cover artwork was created by Paul Romano (Mastodon, Withered) with interior packaging featuring the art of Afro-futurist painter, Mikel Elam. dälek's hotly-anticipated eighth album, Precipice, will be released 4/29 on Ipecac Recordings. Precipice is now available for pre-order in multiple formats.

"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...

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...

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 ...
