Justin Bieber is many things. A pop icon, a heartthrob, a hitmaker. A “yes man” he is not.

The Kid LAROI recently sat for a chat with Carter Gregory for The Set List, on which he recounted working with Justin Bieber on the mega-hit “Stay.” Were it not for Bieber convincing LAROI he was sitting on a piece of platinum, “Stay” might not have reached our ears.

“That song came about because he sent me the song for his album and I was kind of like alright I gotta send him back one now from mine,” LAROI explains. “I don’t know, there was a part of me at that point in my career I think I was very in my head about like, ‘oh is this too pop of a song? Is this gonna be weird if I put this out?’ I think I was overanalyzing things, I remember asking him ‘do you want to put this on your project or something?’”

Biebs laid it out. “He was like ‘bro, are you out of your mind? You have to release this, you keep this for you,’” says LAROI. “He literally was like ‘Bro this is a smash, you gotta put this out.’”

That was some good advice. Following its release in 2021, the collaboration went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (and stayed there for seven weeks), won ARIA and APRA Awards, and is one of the top 10 most-streamed songs in Spotify history, chalking up more than 3.9 billion plays on the platform (it’s currently at No. 10 on the all-time leaderboard).

Bieber is always there with good advice, even if that is to rip LAROI’s work. “He’s always dropping some really good stuff. I think though, the most helpful and useful thing is something that you wouldn’t think of, maybe off rip, but something I think he does so well is that he just listens really well. He’s really good at just being like ‘man, I’m sorry. That sucks, let’s talk about it,’” LAROI remarks. “He always has great advice but just talking about something and being acknowledged like ‘damn that sucks’ you know, that’s a thing in itself that sometimes.”

He continues, “I find it helpful when he shares his experiences with me. He just cares too which is cool, he’s never approaching it from like ‘I know everything’ which is really cool. He’s very honest about things and if he doesn’t know something he will always be like ‘I don’t know, but I’m here for you.’”

Canada and Australia have a special relationship, a human connection we see flow through with Bieber and LAROI, who also teamed up on “Unstable,” a track housed on Biebs’ sixth studio album, Justice from 2021.

LAROI (real name: Charlton Howard) is currently working his way across the United States on his A Perfect World tour, in support of his third full-length project, Before I Forget, which debuted at No. 6 on the Billboard 200 earlier this year.

Two billion people have taken a trip to a gangsta’s paradise.

The music video for Coolio‘s classic 1995 hit “Gangsta’s Paradise” reached 2 billion views on YouTube. The visual was helmed by film director Antoine Fuqua, who is recently back in the public eye for his work on Michael, the new Michael Jackson biopic. It is the first video by the late rapper to reach this milestone.

“Gangsta’s Paradise” comes from the 1995 thriller film Dangerous Minds and features vocals by the singer L.V. The track served as the lead single of Coolio’s second studio album of the same name. “Gangsta’s Paradise” is Coolio’s biggest chart hit, spending three weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1995. Gangsta’s Paradise the album was also successful, spending 62 weeks on the Billboard 200 and peaking at No. 9 on the chart.

“Gangsta’s Paradise” topped the Hot 100 Year-End chart in 1995. In 1996, the song earned Coolio his first and only Grammy, for best rap solo performance, as well as two MTV Video Music Awards and a Billboard Music Award. In 2023, Billboard ranked “Gangsta’s Paradise” as one of the 500 best pop songs of all time.

“Gangsta’s Paradise” was given new life in 1996 after “Weird Al” Yankovic dropped the parody “Amish Paradise” which has millions of streams on YouTube and Spotify. Other stars who have covered the legendary rap song — the original, not the parody — include Maneskin, Brittany Snow and Falling in Reverse.

Drake season is upon us. The OVO boss announced plans for yet another Iceman livestream on Wednesday (May 4), with episode four set for May 14.

“EPISODE FOUR MAY 14,” Drake wrote on Instagram alongside a photo of the number four and an ICE MAN graphic.

The 6 God also posted photo collages from what appears to be the first three episodes of livestreams, which date back to July 4, 2025.

There wasn’t a time revealed for May 14’s stream, but it should lead into Iceman‘s arrival on May 15. OVO fans hopped into Drizzy’s comments and were extremely hyped at the idea of a Drake album being released within the next 10 days.

“Reminder!: May 15 is International Stay on That Side Day,” one person wrote. It’s fitting that Drake’s announcement for episode four came just shy of May 6 at 6 p.m. ET.

Drake’s shown intentionality with the extended Iceman rollout dating back to 2025, which has been turned up quite a few notches in recent weeks.

Drizzy put the rollout and marketing into another gear when a massive ice block structure was built in downtown Toronto. Streamer Kishka ended up finding the Iceman folder inside the thawing installation, which revealed the album’s May 15 release date and scored him $50,000 from Drake’s team for the discovery.

Drake released singles like “What Did I Miss,” “Which One” and “Dog House” in 2025, but has yet to drop a single in 2026, and it appears there won’t be any new music until Iceman‘s arrival.

Iceman will serve as Drake’s first solo LP since his blockbuster battle with Kendrick Lamar in 2024 and 2023’s For all the Dogs, which topped the Billboard 200.

In 2024, six-time Grammy winner Amy Grant was clearing out and organizing a room in her Nashville home after her daughter Corrina had made an observation.

“She just said, ‘Where’s your creative space?’” Grant recalls. The room, filled with paintings she’d made, art supplies, Grant’s collection of 45s and an old turntable, became her new creative oasis. “My daughter nicknamed the space ‘craftopia,’” Grant says.

Following the release of her self-titled debut in 1977, Grant become one of the leading artists who popularized Contemporary Christian music in the 1980s and 1990s, with such albums as Age to Age and Heart in Motion reaching broader audiences. She earned crossover hits like the Billboard Hot 100 chart-topper “Baby Baby” and has collected over two dozen GMA Dove Awards.

But by 2024, it had been over a decade since her last album of original music, 2013’s How Mercy Looks From Here. Grant had been touring, but also spent the past few years weathering serious health issues, including undergoing open-heart surgery in 2020 and healing from a bicycle accident in 2022 that resulted in a traumatic brain injury. 

In that new creative space, Grant sat down and began writing lyrics that became the title track and emotional fulcrum for her new album The Me That Remains, which comes out Friday (May 8) on Thirty Tigers.

The song’s frank lyrics such as “Life cut me wide open when my head hit the ground/ Wasn’t my time for dying” take an honest look at Grant’s healing over the past few years, as well as her determination to make the most of every stage of life.

“The very first lyric I wrote for this record, I thought it was a poem, but at that time I was having pretty substantial short-term memory issues,” Grant says. “Lyrics were easy because it’s written down, but music is tough. So I said, ‘I don’t think I can do this by myself.’ But in a beautiful way, our limitations create our path.”

She began reaching out to writers and fellow artists, including her husband Vince Gill, in addition to Michael W. Smith, Tom Douglas, Mike Reid and Mac McAnally, the 10-time CMA musician of the year winner also known for his work as part of Jimmy Buffett’s Coral Reefer band.

By January 2025, she had returned to the studio with the intention of only recording a couple of songs. “It felt so organic and like, ‘Man, that was fun. I haven’t done that in a long time,” she says. She called upon McAnally and they agreed to work on recording songs when they could, heading into the studio here and there over the course of a few months.

“At one point he said, ‘Hey, we’ve got a record here. We have 10 songs.’ I guess it was as much of a surprise to me that it emerged the way it did, and it was without any work pressure.”

Though the album includes personal songs such as “The Me That Remains,” and mature looks at relationships on tunes like “‘Til We Get It Right,” the album also takes nuanced looks at society and the state of the world.

Grant teamed with Ruby Amanfu on “How Do We Get There From Here,” a song forged after the tragic 2023 Covenant School shooting in Nashville. Both Grant and Amanfu were part of an artist group that visited the Tennessee State Capitol in fall 2023 to talk about gun control. On their new collaboration, they wrestle with themes including accountability, communication and grief.

“A lot of artists and songwriters were invited to go and just say, ‘Is there anything we can use our platform to help shift?’” Grant says. “After being there [and] meeting with legislature on both sides, I thought ‘How does anybody get anything done?’ But I think so many times schools of thought or a change in the way someone sees something come[s] through the arts.”

After writing the first verse and chorus, she reconnected with Amanfu about their experience. “It took a year of us just trading text[s]. We were both working very hard, both traveling. Then she reached out and was like, ‘I think I’ve got the song.’ I was going into the studio that week and asked if she was in town. It was just like our orbits were so different but for a minute the planets aligned. And I’ve so enjoyed getting to know her.”

Gill joins on “Friend Like You,” Smith co-wrote “The Saint,” and Grant’s daughters Corrina and Sarah Cannon join on the album closer “The Other Side of Goodbye,” which centers on the loss of Grant’s mother, who passed away in 2011.

“The other side of goodbye can be all kinds of things, but at some point I just thought about my mom,” Grant says. “I don’t know that many people that have died that I’ve actually been in the room with — a few — but I wanted to capture the experience of being a witness to her crossing over. And that day changed the way I look at death. I was like, ‘We’ve got to reframe this.’ I said, ‘When somebody finishes their life, can we high-five them?’ And with everything in life, how you frame it has a lot to do with how you experience it.”

The Me That Remains had been finished for around six months or so when Grant and her team partnered with Thirty Tigers to release the project.

“I think we were trying to find a partner that was really interested in creating conversation. That really seems to be the focus on Thirty Tigers, just bringing together people through the arts. I’ve so enjoyed talking to [Thirty Tigers co-founder/president] David Macias and everyone has been great. It just feels a little bit kind of maverick.”

Though Grant’s new album ends a 13-year dearth of new music from the Gospel Music Hall of Famer and 2022 Kennedy Center honoree, she says she doubts it will take another 13 years before she creates new music.

“I don’t know that I’ve got a whole record right now, but I have a lot of songs I’m working on. People have sent me some beautiful songs.”

A Migos return might be on the horizon. The Migos’ Instagram account was revived on Tuesday (May 5) and made its first post in over two years, featuring a few photos of Quavo and Offset in the studio.

The post — which boasts over 335,000 likes — has only added fuel to the speculation that the Migos are back. Additional photos from Sunday’s (May 3) studio session found Offset in the booth, signaling new music could be on the way.

Speculation began last week when Quavo took to his Instagram Story, where he teased a posthumous TakeOff album, a sequel to his joint album with his late nephew and a possible Migos tribute album on the way.

“Warriors Never fold. Jobs Not Finished. TAKEOFF ALBUM. UNC N PHEW 2. LAST ????? ALBUM. REAL MIGO BLOOD RUN IN MY VEINS!!! AINT NO NEW CHAPTER JUST THE NEXT ONE,” Huncho wrote.

Offset echoed Quavo’s statement and added to the Migos’ comeback speculation. “On dat,” he wrote.

TakeOff (born Kirshnik Khari Ball) was shot and killed following a party at 810 Billiards & Bowling in Houston on Nov. 1, 2022.

Quavo and Offset have been distant in recent years before reuniting over the weekend, which sent fans into a frenzy about a possible reunion.

Their last collaboration came on the Migos’ 2021 Culture III album, which was supposed to be the fourth and final LP from the Atlanta trio prior to TakeOff’s passing. The album debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 130,000 total album units earned, according to Luminate.

On Wednesday (May 6), the full list of honorees for TME Chart’s 30 UNDER 30 “Top 30 Young Singers” was officially unveiled. As an initiative dedicated to spotlighting emerging young talent in the Chinese music scene, this year’s program features a comprehensive upgrade to its recognition system.

Based on annual performance data from the TME Uni Chart and TME Wave Chart, the selection process combined objective metrics with public voting across categorized groups, ultimately recognizing 30 young artists distinguished by their contemporary appeal and strong industry potential.

Lars Huang, Yu Zi and Zhicheng Mu ranked No. 1 in the Core Group, Pioneer Group and Rising Star Group, respectively, earning recognition as representative young singer of their respective age categories.

Categorized by birth year, the honorees are divided into three groups: the Core Group (born 1996-1999), the Pioneer Group (born 2000-2005), and the Rising Star Group (born after 2006). This tiered structure highlights young singers at different stages of development, while the open public voting mechanism enables audience preferences and listener voices to play a meaningful role in the selection process.

Since its launch, TME Chart’s “30 UNDER 30” has grown into a highly influential benchmark for emerging talent in the Chinese music industry. Guided by the principles of professionalism, fairness, and diversity, the initiative encourages young artists to stay true to their creative vision, push artistic boundaries, and express the spirit of youth through innovation — while delivering positive impact through high-quality music.

Don’t bother checking the forecast, because based on Drake‘s latest move it’s going to be an ice cold summer. In the latest chapter of the “Hotline Bling” MCs slow-but-steady rollout for his upcoming Iceman album, due out on May 15, Drake gave his Toronto mansion, The Embassy, a frosty makeover.

In a series of pics on his Drake Related site, Drake shared snaps in which the front entrance to his estate is covered in icicles and frost, including his fleet of luxury vehicles. In a testament to what fans can expect from the album, the studio space was also iced out, with snow and icicles dripping from the consoles and keyboards and covering a C-shaped couch at the center of the room.

The cold snap creeped into Drizzy bedroom, pool (with links to some “Hotline Bling” merch and his Nike Nocta collab) and kitchen. And, if you click around enough, you can land on El Chico Studios, where the rapper has hidden the “Wick Man” instrumental from his Scary Hours 3 mixtape.

The mansion glaze-over is just the latest in a string of frozen promo Drake has been doing for the album over the past month, beginning with frozen courtside seats at Scotiabank Arena for the Raptors season finale against the Brooklyn Nets on April 12. He followed that with an even more outrageous stunt in downtown Toronto, where he hid the album’s release date inside a massive block of ice. Fans descended in droves to check it out and chip away at the sculpture until police showed up to control the crowd of nearly 800 who had gotten to work on the one million pounds of ice using ice picks, blowtorches, lighters and other implements.

The tables were turned, though, by the Cleveland Cavaliers, who eliminated Raptors team ambassador Drake’s team in the first round of the NBA playoffs on May 3 in game 7, and appeared to troll Drake in the waning minutes of the contest by playing Kendrick Lamar’s iconic diss “Not Like Us” to hype up the hometown crowd and troll the rapper and Raptors fans.

“DEFROSTED,” the Cavs posted to X alongside a poster featuring the Iceman ice sculpture from downtown Toronto, swapping out a “W” inside, instead of the album release date. “Internal Findings: Cavs W Detected in Core,” the graphic read. “Final Conclusion: Cavs in 7.”

Iceman will be Drake’s first solo album since 2023’s For All the Dogs, which topped the Billboard 200.
