NATHY PELUSO ANNOUNCES ‘MALPORTADA’ EP

Nathy Peluso is nominated for 2 Latin GRAMMYs 2025 for her collaborations “DE MARAVISHA” with Tokischa and “XQ ERES ASÍ” f/ Alvaro Diaz.

Boundary-pushing Argentine artist Nathy Peluso has announced her new salsa EP ‘Malportada.’ The title track “Malportada” which features Rawayana, is out now with an official music video. Watch HERE.

“Salsa is raw and passionate, it is the music of the untamed and the indestructible, and now it also belongs to the misfits,” Nathy shares. “I have always been a rebel, a misfit. They’ve tried to tame me and correct me so many times, but my wild spirit has always led me down the best roads.”

The song “Malportada” was composed in Puerto Rico. It was co-written and co-produced by Manuel Lara (Kali Uchis, Bad Bunny), Servando Primera, and Rawayana‘s Beto Montenegro. “I discovered Nathy’s music because she’s always posting reels dancing salsa with her unique flow, and I love that,” Beto shares. “I’m so excited that ‘Malportada’ is gonna be on her album because, as a kid, I didn’t have the best grades in school, and that got me in trouble a ton. Now I feel very proud of who I’ve become, and even more so to be able to share it with this powerhouse Nathy ‘fucking‘ Peluso.“

“Beto has that timeless voice and the carefree swagger of a classic salsero, without making any effort,” Nathy says. “Straight from Venezuela, one of the most beautiful cradles of salsa that I love so much. Beto is the mischievous one, with a good heart and good lyrics—the perfect partner to sing with and lose all composure.”

Nathy has recently received two Latin GRAMMY® 2025 nominations for her collaborations, including “Best Urban Fusion” with Tokischa on “DE MARAVISHA” and “Best Urban Song” with Álvaro Díaz on “XQ ERES ASÍ.” Nathy now has 16 Latin GRAMMY® nominations as well as 5 Latin GRAMMY awards.

Last year, Nathy took home 3 Latin GRAMMY® awards – a full sweep for “Best Alternative Song” for “El Dia Que Perdi Mi Juventud” (Feat. Blood Orange),”“Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song” for “Aprender A Amar” and “Best Long Form Video” for the GRASA film. Nathy is currently tied with Mercedes Sosa for the most awards for an Argentine female artist. Nathy is also the first woman to ever win “Best Rap/Hip-Hop Song.”

Traditionally, salsa has depicted femininity from a romantic, melancholic, or dreamy perspective, but with her approach, Nathy aims to reclaim the strength and defiant attitude that have historically shaped the male-driven narrative—making it entirely her own. Since the beginning of her career, Nathy has seamlessly incorporated salsa into her sonic universe with authenticity and mastery.

In “MAFIOSA,” Nathy channeled the commanding trombones of Willie Colón; in “LA PRESA,” she co-wrote a tale of crime and passion, echoing the narrative style of Rubén Blades, supported by musicians from El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico. In “PURO VENENO,” she embraced an electrifying mambo with a distinctive ’80s essence, and in “Sugga,” she infused elements of salsa pop reminiscent of Miami Sound Machine. The most recent single “EROTIKA” was inspired by the early 1990s salsa erotica scene in New York City.

With a career marked by fearless experimentation, multi-genre mastery, and critical acclaim, Nathy Peluso continues to solidify her status as one of Latin music’s most influential and forward-thinking artists. The Argentine singer, songwriter, and performer is known for her genre-defying music, blending urban, pop, hip hop, and Latin sounds. Nathy continues to push boundaries with her innovative projects, electrifying live performances and global collaborations.

Red Bull Dance Your Style World Champion Jaira Luhulima

Following a global series of qualifiers spanning 127 events, the international competition culminated at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles for the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final

A record-breaking audience of over 10,000 voted Jaira Luhulima of the Netherlands as the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Champion

Watch

On Saturday, October 11, Red Bull Dance Your Style, the world’s largest freestyle dance competition, announced Jaira Luhulima as its 2025 World Champion. The U.S. debut of the Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final took over the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, where a record-breaking audience of over 10,000 voted the Dutch hip-hop dancer to victory. The landmark event united dancers from around the globe in a celebration of freestyle dance, marking the largest stage in Red Bull Dance Your Style history.

Ahead of the World Final, national champions from around the world went head-to-head in pre-final battles for a coveted spot in the top 16 bracket. Eight national finalists advanced to join a lineup of invited wildcards, all converging at the Intuit Dome for a high-energy night of one-on-one freestyle battles. With no choreography or pre-selected music, dancers relied on their musicality, stage presence, and freestyle skills to win over the crowd. In a dramatic tie-breaker, Jaira edged out South Korean waacker and 2023 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Champion, Waackxxy to claim the crown, delivering a crowd-erupting performance.

“For any dancer, it’s always so nice to have such a big crowd around you because the noise gives you an energy boost and it’s insane to feel all these energies from everyone,” shared Jaira on her World Final experience. “I don’t think I will recognize [that I won the World Final] until I’m back in the Netherlands.”

Jaira Luhulima is an 18-year old Indonesian–Dutch hip-hop dancer from the Netherlands. She burst onto the battle scene, making her Red Bull Dance Your Style debut this year. After claiming the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style Netherlands National Champion title, Jaira clinched her World Final spot, battling her way through the pre-final brackets, making a powerful debut on the global stage.

The event was hosted by celebrity choreographer Charm La’Donna and hip-hop media legend Sway Calloway, and featured special performances by musical guests Lil Jon and the Ying Yang Twins, celebrating their decades-long influence on music and street dance culture. The star-studded celebration also brought out global icon Mel B and reality television star Ace Greene, who teamed up as commentators for the global livestream.

In the days leading up to the World Final, Red Bull Dance Your Style transformed Los Angeles into a global dance hub. The city came alive with workshops and exhibition battles celebrating the nation’s diverse dance culture, featuring krump sessions with LA’s own Outrage and a western-themed masterclass by Amari Marshall at the iconic Playground LA, as well as a Memphis Jookin workshop with Ladia Yates, a Chicago Footwork class led by King Charles, and more. The weeklong celebration gave dancers from around the world a platform to connect, collaborate, and celebrate dance culture, setting the tone for the world’s biggest freestyle stage.

The scale of the 2025 Red Bull Dance Your Style World Final reflects the growing global impact of dance battle culture. From the streets of LA to the world stage, the annual event remains committed to celebrating how movement unites people, transcends language, and propels dance forward.

ROLLS-ROYCE SPECTRE BAILEY: A Dog Tribute

Watch

Rolls-Royce presents Spectre Bailey — an enchanting one-of-one commission inspired by a family’s beloved dog
Features lifelike marquetry, including a canine portrait on the rear waterfall
Real paw print reproduced in marquetry on the passenger panel and hand-painted in the Coachline
Created for long-standing Rolls-Royce clients in the United States
Commission curated through Private Office New York; an invitation-only space dedicated to Bespoke commissions

“We are lifelong car enthusiasts, yes, but we are also lifelong animal lovers, and our dog Bailey is a cherished member of our family. When we started our Rolls-Royce Spectre commission, we saw the opportunity to create something beautiful which would remind us of him for decades to come. Working with the Rolls-Royce Bespoke Collective, we were surprised at every turn with their wonderful ideas – the wood inlay, or the paw prints on the sill – which added so much to the experience. Spectre Bailey is everything we hoped for and more; it’s a joyful tribute to our loyal companion.”

— Commissioning clients, Rolls-Royce Spectre Bailey

“One of the greatest joys of a Bespoke Rolls-Royce commission is stepping into the client’s world and understanding the things they cherish. This Spectre perfectly captures their love of automobiles and of Bailey, their loyal companion. Inspiration for Bespoke comes from anywhere, and our artisans are the finest in the world at transforming personal passions into timeless art.”
— Jon Colbeth, Regional Director, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars North America

Celebrating World Animal Day

To mark World Animal Day 2025, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars proudly unveils Spectre Bailey: a heartfelt Bespoke commission that honors a cherished Labrador–Golden Retriever mix named Bailey. Created for a couple who have been loyal Rolls-Royce clients for more than a decade, the commission demonstrates the brand’s ability to transform deep personal connections into expressions of craftsmanship.

Bailey has been part of the family’s life for more than a decade, accompanying them on daily routines and special journeys alike. His energy and loyal companionship inspired the couple to dedicate their latest motor car to him. The result is a moving, one-of-a-kind Rolls-Royce Spectre that celebrates both automotive passion and the joy of pet ownership.

Bespoke Paint: A Coat of Character

At the Home of Rolls-Royce in Goodwood, England, paint specialists created a completely unique two-tone exterior finish for Spectre Bailey. The main body gleams in Crystal Fusion, a dynamic, iridescent color that shifts subtly with the light. The lower body is painted in Beautiful Bailey, a warm tone inspired by the soft fur on Bailey’s ear. This shade was developed exclusively for the commissioning clients and will never be repeated.

The shoulder Coachline carries perhaps the most personal touch: a reproduction of Bailey’s paw print, hand-painted in Rose Gold. The same Rose Gold finish adorns the Spirit of Ecstasy figurine, linking the car’s exterior details in a subtle, elegant way.

The result is a motor car that announces itself with grace, character, and individuality—an exterior as unique as the life that inspired it.

Interior Suite: Unique from Nose to Tail

Inside, Spectre Bailey continues its celebration of craftsmanship. The cabin is upholstered in Moccasin and Crème Light leather, chosen to evoke Bailey’s golden coat. Dark Spice and Casden Tan accents add depth and warmth, while wood surfaces are finished in High Gloss Royal Walnut veneer, offering a natural, timeless backdrop.

The centerpiece of the interior is an astonishing marquetry portrait of Bailey, crafted into the rear waterfall panel between the back seats. This lifelike composition took more than four months to complete and consists of over 180 individual pieces of veneer.

To capture the depth and warmth of Bailey’s fur, the artisan used nine different natural veneers, representing twenty-two shades of color. Each piece was carefully selected for its grain direction and tone—without any artificial staining or chemical treatment. Even Bailey’s tongue required four rare veneers never before used in a Rolls-Royce: Purpleheart, Tulipwood, Louro Faia, and Pear. Together, these materials bring Bailey to life in extraordinary realism.

On the passenger side of the dashboard, a smaller marquetry motif displays Bailey’s paw print, offering another reminder of his presence. This paw print also appears engraved on the door sills, framing the Rose Gold Bespoke treadplates.

Craftsmanship Beyond Expectation

Spectre Bailey is not simply a showcase of materials, but a demonstration of how Rolls-Royce artisans elevate personal storytelling into fine art. From the unique paintwork to the intricate marquetry, every element was developed in close conversation with the commissioning clients.

The project was one of the first projects to be supported by Rolls-Royce Private Office New York, where clients collaborate directly with designers and craftspeople to bring their visions to life. Throughout the process, the Bespoke Collective introduced new ideas and techniques, ensuring that every detail reflected both the spirit of Rolls-Royce and the unique personality of Bailey.

More than just a motor car

For the commissioning family, the car is more than transportation—it is a rolling canvas that honors the dog who has been a faithful companion for more than a decade. For Rolls-Royce, it is a reminder of what makes Bespoke so powerful: the ability to create something deeply personal and timeless.

From Bailey’s paw print on the exterior Coachline to the lifelike marquetry portrait inside, every element of this commission reflects the heart of the clients’ story. It is proof that in the world of Rolls-Royce, no detail is too small, and no inspiration is too personal to be transformed into art on wheels.

New Picture Book ‘Andy: A Dog’s Tale’

New Picture Book Andy: A Dog’s Tale follows one puppy’s inspiring journey to overcome challenges and discover his purpose as a trained service dog

A heartwarming children’s book inspired by the viral animated film, with proceeds benefiting Canine Companions

The Collective Book Studio, an independent, woman-owned publisher, is proud to announce the release of Andy: A Dog’s Tale, a beautifully illustrated children’s book based on the viral animated short film of the same name. Just in time for the holiday season, this touching story is available in bookstores nationwide, with proceeds benefiting Canine Companions, the nonprofit organization that inspired the film through its real-life service dogs.

Written by John Kelly and illustrated with scenes adapted from the short film by Ignite Animation Studios, Andy: A Dog’s Tale follows one puppy’s inspiring journey to overcome challenges and discover his purpose as a trained service dog.

Meet Andy—the smallest pup in his litter—who captured hearts around the world in the original short, produced by Jean Schulz, president of Charles M. Schulz Creative Associates and a longtime Canine Companions board member. Now, thanks to a collaboration between The Collective Book Studio, Canine Companions, and the award-winning animation team, Andy’s story leaps off the screen and onto the page in a new format families can enjoy again and again. Andy: A Dog’s Tale retells Andy’s story in a moving picture book that celebrates the spirit of service animals and the people they support.

“Publishing Andy: A Dog’s Tale embodies our mission to amplify meaningful, beautifully told stories,” said Angela Engel, founder and publisher of The Collective Book Studio. “This project brings joy to children and families while supporting the incredible mission of Canine Companions. We’re honored to help share Andy’s journey in book form.”

With themes of resilience, compassion, and the power of purpose, Andy: A Dog’s Tale will resonate with dog lovers, families, and people of all abilities. Andy’s journey reminds readers that even the smallest among us can become heroes—with enough heart.

As Canine Companions celebrates its 50th anniversary this year, the release of Andy: A Dog’s Tale offers a powerful way to introduce families to the organization’s mission. Profits from the book will help fund the training and placement of service dogs that are provided free of charge to children, adults, and veterans with disabilities.

DDG CELEBRATES BDAY W/ NEW ALBUM

Michigan-born, multi-platinum hip hop star DDG caps off a breakout year with the release of his highly anticipated new album, moo.

moo marks DDG’s second studio album of 2025, following May’s innovative blame the chat, and takes its name from a childhood nickname given to him by his mother. In a full-circle moment, the album drops today — October 10 — in celebration of DDG’s 28th birthday.

The 14-track project, teased for weeks across his widely followed livestreams, is led by the single “no smoke” featuring Gunna. It additionally includes the previously shared, fan-favorite “no dreads,” DDG’s latest collaboration with streamer PlaqueBoyMax. Longtime collaborator BIA also makes an appearance on the song “jaded.” Alongside the album, DDG shares the official music video for the track “17 more years.” Watch here.

See the tracklist below and get moo here via Epic Records.

DDG’s impressive career as a multihyphenate has been remarkable, and this year, he took things to new heights. 2025 was jump-started by his first PlaqueBoyMax collaboration, “pink dreads,” which went instantly viral thanks to DDG’s unique approach: the duo crafted the song live on a Twitch stream, which was viewed over 1 million times. It built massive anticipation for the song, which hit the Billboard charts upon release and has since been streamed over 46 million times.

“pink dreads” lead to DDG’s May album, blame the chat. Created during his unprecedented week-long Twitch “HIT-A-THON,” DDG reinforced his reputation as “one of the most powerful streamers in Hip-Hop” (Complex) by livestreaming the album’s creation 24/7 over seven days. Fans were invited to participate in real time—shaping lyrics, selecting beats, and watching surprise appearances from collaborators like Ty Dolla $ign, Rich the Kid, BIA, DaBaby, and Wiz Khalifa. The event made DDG the #1 live channel on Twitch worldwide and set a new subscription record. Subsequent single releases over the course of this year, which are regularly created live on stream, have further cemented his status as a unique authority in the hip-hop streaming space.

With over 1.6 billion global streams, multiple RIAA-certified hits—including “I’m Geekin,” “Arguments,” “Hood Melody,” and the double-platinum “Moonwalking in Calabasas”—plus a XXL Freshman cover and a Forbes 30 Under 30 nod, DDG continues to redefine the future of hip-hop through innovation, authenticity, and community engagement.

Stream moo, DDG’s second album of the year, now.

KODAK BLACK + CHANCE THE RAPPER REUNITE

ON HEARTFELT, PLAYFUL NEW SINGLE “STILL GET CHANEL”

Kodak Black teams up with GRAMMY® Award-winning Chicago champ Chance the Rapper for “Still Get Chanel,” a romantically themed cut that revels in the creative chemistry between two artists who fluidly blend soulful melodies with freewheeling bars. Listen HERE via Vulture Love / Capitol Records, and watch the video HERE. Additionally, Kodak officially announces his next studio album, Just Getting Started out on Halloween 10.31, pre-save/order HERE. Watch the trailer HERE featuring a cameo from Lamar Jackson.

“Still Get Chanel” produced by Kodak’s longtime producer Dr. Zeus, finds Kodak getting vulnerable over chiming keys and booming drums. He brings his distinct brand of blues to the opening lines, describing a moment where he sought forgiveness from a partner who left him: “I was all f—– up, I was down as f— / Like the grass stop growin’, the wind stop blowin’ / The birds stop chirpin’ and lightning struck / But you still get Chanel and chocolate and stuff.” Chance similarly dedicates his verse to the kind of love that deserves to be nurtured — and spoiled by a trip to Rodeo Drive — mixing athletic wordplay with sincere reflection as he glides across the beat.

It’s been several years since the duo last linked up on record — on 2 Chainz’ 2017 track “I’m Not Crazy, Life Is.” Chance, of course, is coming off the release of his long-awaited second album, STAR LINE, while Kodak continues his prolific streak both in the studio and around the communities he grew up in. In the summer, he received the key to his home city, Pompano Beach, Florida, in recognition of his significant generosity and impact over the years. He marked the honor with a song and locally shot video, “Keys to the City.”

Additionally, Kodak dropped “Imma Shoot,” spitting some of his grittiest bars over a track that’s drawn favorable comparison from fans, peers, and press alike (including VIBE) to his massive 2021 hit “Super Gremlin,” which climbed to No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has 376 million views on YouTube alone. In July, he released “By Myself” with South Florida risers DJ E Money and G6reddot. That track samples the iconic strings from Fabolous and Ne-Yo’s 2007 hit, “Make Me Better” — in honor of that connection, Ne-Yo himself made a cameo in the “By Myself” video alongside influencer Big SLM TY. Watch HERE.

Kodak entered 2025 with serious motion, dropping three full-length projects in less than two months at the end of 2024. On Christmas Day, he stuffed fans’ stockings with Gift for the Streets, a star-studded affair featuring Lil Yachty, Veeze, Rob49, Taylor So Made, No Limit Records OG C-Murder, DJ E Money, and more, not to mention a partial Hot Boys reunion between Juvenile and BG. But Kodak season kicked off in November with a pair of mixtapes: the haunted and inward-looking Dieuson Octave, titled after the artist’s actual birth name (see “Catch Fire”), and Trill Bill, which for the most part captured him from a different angle — the “fly, fresh, and foolish” side, to quote Kodak (see “News Matt”). 

Before all that, Kodak was focused on his record label’s first official project, Vulture Love Presents: The Last Zombies on Earth, which dropped in the summer of 2024 featuring contributions from VVSNCE, Lil Crix, GorditoFlo, Big Fredo, Jay Dirty, and more. Listen HERE. Ever the collaborator, he’s recently popped up on singles “Florida Flow” on Jackboys 2, Ty Dolla $ign “Smile Body Pretty Face”, Marques Houston “Hold On”.

Kodak’s expansive vision and status continue to transcend rap. Over the years, he’s cultivated the role of a prophetic storyteller and a staple cultural figure. He has over 25 billion global streams to his name and continues to engage in altruism within his beloved Florida community, from covering rents during tough economic times, to giving out AC units in the heat of the summer, on to annual his annual Thanksgiving Turkey Drive — last year Kodak gave out 1,800 turkeys in honor of the 1800 block he grew up on. Deep into 2025, he’s continuing to ride for the next generation while affirming his place as a creative beacon.

reggie releases new single & music video “Headstone”

Houston native singer/songwriter/producer reggie has released new single and music video “Headstone,” aka “NEW HEADSTONE need MIX”,” a soul-baring, creeping ear-worm of a requiem that haunts long after the music stops. The new track comes alongside news of reggie’s recent signing to RCA Records – joining a stable of era-defining young artists that includes Steve Lacy, SZA, and Blood Orange.

“Why me?” asks reggie on the beguiling “Headstone,” lamenting his misfortune and the cards that life has stacked against him. In the accompanying music video, directed by reggie, the angst is palpable; the video matches the song’s plaintive tone with an emotional single shot.

Listen to “Headstone” here

Watch the “Headstone” video here

The first tracks from an upcoming full-length project, “Headstone” follows last month’s release of “congrats!.” With genre-defying ease, “congrats!” is immediately arresting. Its instrumental backdrop, and reggie’s visceral, expressive vocals, are filled with soulful intensity, creating a haunting emotional experience that grows deeper with every listen. Lyrically, it’s a kiss off. “congrats!” also comes to life visually in a cinematic, one-shot video conceived and co-directed by reggie alongside creative partner Juan Nieto. The result is a slow, unraveling mystery that elegantly reveals itself to leave more questions than answers.

SOFIA CAMARA NEW EP HARD TO LOVE

Listen

Sofia Camara releases her second EP of the year, Hard To Love, via 21 Entertainment Group and Universal Music Canada, the country’s leading music company, with international support from Mercury Records in the US and Polydor Records in the UK.

Hard To Love includes the previously released singles “Girls Like You” and “Parking Lot” – the former of which continues to thrive at Canadian radio, reaching #9 at Hot AC, #15 at Main AC, and #16 on the Top 40. “Girls Like You” also recently became Sofia’s first track to chart on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100 at #72 and was praised by BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop as “just the perfect pop song.” Hard To Love additionally includes four new songs, including the focus track “Complicated.”

“Writing this project was like therapy,” says Sofia. “It came from a place I don’t visit often… the quiet moments, the breakdowns, the goodbyes that never felt finished. Some of the hardest things I’ve ever felt are woven into these songs. I didn’t sugarcoat anything. This is me, raw and honest.

It’s about loving deeply and losing deeply. It’s about the kind of pain that changes you. And even though it came together quickly, it’s the most real thing I’ve ever made. Every song is a conversation I never got to have with people I loved profoundly. If you’ve ever held your pain in silence or watched someone you love become a stranger or stand in the middle of a goodbye that you never wanted, this is for you. This EP is my heart. Unfiltered. Unprotected. And finally, set free.”

Most songs on this project are produced by Mike Wise and co-produced by Lowell, Nate Ferraro, and Sofia – the superstar team behind some of her biggest hits, including “Who Do I Call Now? (Hellbent)” and “Girls Like You.” “That’s Just How You Feel” is co-written with Em Beihold and Nick Lopez and produced by Jason Suwito (Benson Boone, Imagine Dragons, JVKE).
