Hear Kid Enigma and Riton join forces for the thumping ‘Dangerous’

0

Having premiered it during his recent appearance at this summer’s Reading and Leeds Festival, Riton has now shared the studio edit of ‘Dangerous’, his huge new collaboration with Chicago-native, Kid Enigma.

Flaunting an irresistible bassline and packed with club-ready chords, the addictive track follows the recent release of ‘Foreign Ororo’, Riton’s joint album with Kah-Lo.

“When I heard an early demo of ‘Dangerous’ I was hooked straight away and cheekily asked if I could jump in on the production as I had a few ideas,” said Riton, adding “After we got it sounding phat, I tested it at Reading/Leeds Festival, and then also in Ibiza – with some mental mosh pit reactions!”

Kid Enigma added “I wrote Dangerous as an inspiration to anyone who is self-conscious and has ever been told they couldn’t be anything they wanted to be, or that they weren’t beautiful just the way they are…We are all different. People love to talk, just let them converse. Put in work and love yourself. Be sure you are free, fly and fabulous, because THAT is what makes you dangerous to those who aren’t.”

Coachella 2019: Justin Timberlake, Childish Gambino & Kanye West reported to headline

With just over six months to go until Coachella opens its gates for another year, reports are now starting to circulate about who will be taking charge of the coveted headline slots. And whilst nothing has been officially stipulated by organisers so far, Hits Daily Double claim they’ve got the inside knowledge, with “informed sources” pointing to Kanye West, Childish Gambino and Justin Timberlake leading the pack.

If confirmed, neither of these artists would be a big surprise – Timberlake kicked off the year with his recent album ‘Man Of The Woods’, whilst Donald Glover is ready to retire his Childish Gambino moniker. A headline slot at Coachella would certainly be one way to go out!

Oh and Kanye… well it’s Kanye… we probably don’t need to say more.

Coachella 2019 runs across both weekends on April 12-21.

Kanye opens up on ‘YANDHI’ delay – ‘We’re going to Africa to record’

0

Kanye West seems to have been full of false promises of late (no less than ‘confirming’ the release of his new album ‘YANDHI’ for the weekend, with it subsequently failing to materialise) – however he kept to his word when he said he’ll be gracing the TMZ offices today, and he’s given us even more insight into the delay of the record, alongside clarifying his intention when he said he wanted to ‘abolish’ the 13th Amendment.

Discussing with TMZ staff about why ‘YANDHI’ failed to see a release, Ye simply responded with “I didn’t finish it”. He added “a person from my management staff, our management staff, had suggested because the album is so good, it’s my…I started incorporating sounds that you never heard before and pushing it, and having like, concepts that people don’t, you know, talk about.”

But he did delve further into what fans can expect to hear on the new record when it lands in November“We have concepts talking about body shaming, and women being looked down upon for how many people that they slept with. It’s just a full Ye album and those five albums I dropped earlier were like…superhero rehabilitation. And now the alien Ye is fully back in mode, off the medication, working out, breathing as much fresh air as possible. Thinking, doing, being himself.” Kanye also promised that when ‘YANDHI’ does finally arrive, it’ll be a “full Ye” record.

Later on in the TMZ chat, he clarified the 13th Amendment statement he controversially made following his SNL appearance. “What I wanna say is, ‘abolish’ was the wrong language” he explained, “I misspoke by saying ‘abolish.’ ‘Amend’ is the right language.”
