INHERUS Release “Lie To The Angels” Lyric Video
Post-Metal/Heavy rock act INHERUS have just released a lyric video for their song “Lie To The Angels”. The song is from their album Beholden,which is out on May 26th, 2023 via Hypnotic Dirge Records.
The band comments: “‘Lie to the Angels’ is a song about betrayal in its basest form, how it affects identity. Its perception is a lifelong human struggle that we’ve amplified into larger than life lore. To “lie to the angels” means to betray not just in deed but in self. Facing that within and around ourselves is an experience no one likes to have, but it does build a kind of strength or second sight. One that drives you toward a world you inhabit somehow in your own light.”

Vic Mensa New Single feat Chance the Rapper & G-Eazy
Multi-platinum Grammy nominated rapper/producer Vic Mensa has released “$WISH,” his second major song of the year, via Roc Nation. The single, which reunites Vic with long time friends and collaborators Chance The Rapper and G-Eazy, is a braggadocious banger in which the three MCs trade increasingly elaborate boasts about their respective successes. “$WISH came from a writing camp me & Chance did in LA working on a bunch of music together,” states Vic, “it was really just a fun, spontaneous vibe. Me & Bongo were freestyling and then Chance said he had a line so I just recorded him putting his verse together. G-Eazy is one of my best friends in the industry and someone I’ve known for probably 12 years, so it just all made sense.” The single follows the release of January’s “Strawberry Louis Vuitton (feat. Thundercat and Maeta),” a soulful love jam that was accompanied by an awe-inspiring music video in which Mensa performed the song while skydiving in a custom recreation of a Virgil Abloh suit. The single yielded a release week performance on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert for which Vic was accompanied by Maeta and Phony Ppl.
