Foster & The Pranksters Share "Live As It Gets" (Prankster Remix) Feat. Royce da 5'9" from La Honda EP [A Band of Pranksters Publishing]

Foster & The Pranksters are a "Garage Rap"—essentially, Garage Rock + Hip-Hop—band hailing from Jersey City, New Jersey. Foster & The Pranksters consists of frontman Foster The Prankster, guitarist Mike "The Irate Genius" Chowanec, bassist Steve Padelski, and newest member, drummer Chris Stadler. The Pranksters are equally influenced by sharp-spitters, such as Yasiin Bey FKA Mos Def, Kanye West, The Roots, Wu-Tang Clan, and Lauryn Hill, as well and Classic/Alt. Rock icons like The Strokes, Jimi Hendrix, The White Stripes, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and The Black Keys. Since their 2016 debut single as a group, "Think Me a Fool," Foster & The Pranksters have garnered a sizable buzz, based on their signature blend of Blues, Hip-Hop, and Rock "N" Roll. Recorded in a marathon 12-hour "one-take" session, Foster & The Pranksters' latest EP, La Honda, is a collection of studio recordings, singles, and B-sides from the band's vault and live repertoire. La Honda EP stand-out, "Live As It Gets" (Prankster Remix) is, actually, an updated version of "Live As It Gets" from a 2009 mixtape Foster released under his now-retired rapping alias, Vibes, called THE NEW GENERATION, which is still currently available on DatPiff for comparative purposes.

Both the 2009 & 2018 versions of "Live As It Gets" feature a very special vocal assist from Bad Meets Evil, PRhyme, and Slaughterhouse emcee Royce da 5'9". "It's a completely different song, with Royce's verse being the only constant between them," Foster The Prankster explains. La Honda was, believe it or not, recorded in bassist Steve Padelski's parents' basement in one 12-hour recording session held on Saturday, June 28th, 2018. "While house-sitting for my parents, we set up some mics and laid down a few jams that we'd been sitting on for the past year," Padelski confirms. "What we recorded that weekend were some of the rawest cuts I've ever been a part of," he continued. Honestly, in addition to the aforementioned sources of influence and inspiration, Foster & The Pranksters' La Honda EP evokes Asher Roth's 2011 Pabst & Jazz mixtape and The Knux's genre-eschewing album, ERASER, from the same year, as well as self-proclaimed "noGENRE" Brooklyn-based quintet Phony Ppl. Foster & The Pranksters' La Honda EP is now available to stream or download on Apple Music, Bandcamp, Soundcloud, Spotify, and like-minded digital streaming services. La Honda's release was, also, accompanied by a BTS Collage-style music video for "Live As It Gets" (Prankster Remix) Feat. Royce da 5'9" consisting of stitched together live performances, candid photos, and behind-the-scenes studio footage.

"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...
