Guess Again” is PXVBS’s cinematic return to self-belief — a story about thinking you weren’t meant to win, only to realize you were wrong. Set against autumn-colored production and heartfelt lyricism, the track blends alternative hip-hop with emotional storytelling. Inspired by personal transformation, the song captures the exact moment he stopped letting past trauma define him and chose to rise again.

Ama, formerly known as Ama Lou, is a London singer-songwriter, and "So..." is her R&B single about a relationship breaking down. In the video she plays both herself and her male counterpart.
She directed it alongside her sister Mahalia, exploring ego, regret and the quiet theatrics of a breakup.
Ama dropped "Lou" from her name and presents herself as a powerful, self-possessed femme. Her self-produced debut album, I Came Home Late, arrived in 2023.
Her single "My Girl" in 2025 marked her return after a two-year hiatus, and her earlier release "Need It Bad" features Brent Faiyaz.
She was born Ama Louisa John on May 9, 1998, in north London, and is classically trained. She began writing music at 11, and her debut single, "TBC," arrived in 2016. Drake later posted its lyrics on Instagram. She supported Jorja Smith on a 2018 tour and signed with Interscope in late 2019.
Her EPs include DDD (2018), Ama, who? (2019) and At Least We Have This (2021). I Came Home Late was released September 1, 2023, on Interscope.
"So..." was released May 1, 2026, through ISO Supremacy and PULSE Records. It addresses misunderstandings between men and women, speaking to a man who failed a good woman.
The song continues the arc of her new era.
The video is a role reversal. Ama plays herself and the male counterpart, and the visual explores ego, regret and apology. She and her sister Mahalia co-directed it, working under their production company I Came Home Late.
What was Ama's previous name? Ama Lou.
Who directed the video? Ama and her sister Mahalia.
Who released "So..."? ISO Supremacy and PULSE Records, on May 1, 2026.
May 7, 2026 — JPEGMAFIA has dropped "WAR OVER LAND," his powerful new single and accompanying music video, the latest preview of his upcoming album EXPERIMENTAL RAP, arriving May 21 via AWAL.
"War Over Land" follows lead single "babygirl" and was written, produced, and mixed entirely by JPEGMAFIA himself. The track takes aim at the superficiality of posturing on the internet in contrast to the horrors of real-world tragedy. Musically, it's a dramatic, swelling number that pairs his choppy and emphatic flow with strings, pianos, and wailing electric guitars — cinematic even without the visuals. The Line of Best Fit + 2
The music video more than rises to the occasion. Co-directed by JPEGMAFIA and Logan Fields, the clip is constructed to look like a single continuous tracking shot — with Peggy walking through a field and past a series of arresting, provocative images that bring the song's themes to vivid life. The accompanying video delves deeper into the song's themes through one single, unbroken camera shot.
Coming off I LAY DOWN MY LIFE FOR YOU and collaborations with artists ranging from Beyoncé to Flume, JPEGMAFIA continues bending mainstream attention toward his own uncompromising frequency rather than adapting to theirs. With EXPERIMENTAL RAP, he shows no signs of softening that approach.
This fall, JPEGMAFIA will embark on The Experimental Rap Tour, a 20-date North American run with support from redveil and matt proxy, kicking off September 22 in Spokane, WA. This summer, he is also set to return to the UK and Europe for a run of festival appearances, including Lowlands in the Netherlands, Pukkelpop in Belgium, All Points East x Outbreak in London, and Electric Picnic in Dublin.

May 7, 2026 — Rising hip-hop force PlaqueBoyMax has released the official music video for "ELASTIBOY," the standout track from his newly released EP Crash Dummy, out now via Field Trip Recordings / Capitol Records.
Shot and edited by Laughtodabank, with VFX also handled by the multi-hyphenate creative, the visual brings the track's chaotic energy to life in a way that perfectly mirrors the EP's sonic identity. YouTube
Crash Dummy is the latest offering from PlaqueBoyMax, an artist who began as a Twitch streamer and built his platform through his widely popular "In The Booth" series, collaborating with numerous underground artists before stepping into the spotlight himself. The six-track EP runs 15 minutes and wastes no time making its mark. From a production standpoint, the beats are bass-heavy, trippy, and full of chaotic energy — tailor-made for listeners who thrive in the underground rap space. HotNewHipHop + 2
Lyrically, PlaqueBoyMax leans into his current reality: money piling up, growing fame, a competitive streak. "ELASTIBOY" channels that same energy, serving as one of the project's most immediate and hard-hitting moments. Ratings Game Music
PlaqueBoyMax alternates between icy menace and detached coolheadedness throughout the project, further cementing his position as one of the most exciting voices in the underground rap scene. He is already one of the more important young names in hip-hop right now, with the youth tapped into everything he does and Grammy nominations already on his résumé.
The Crash Dummy EP is available now on all major streaming platforms. Watch the official video for "ELASTIBOY" on YouTube now.

Jay Electronica performs tonight in Cleveland, Ohio at the Grog Shog hosted by Big Heff!
Opening acts include:
There's a moment in "I'll Be Your Friend" where everything opens up — the guitars lift, the rhythm surges, and Ruti's voice cuts through with the kind of warm, unshakeable conviction that makes you feel like someone genuinely has your back. It's a small moment. And it's everything.
"I'll Be Your Friend" is the first in a series of forthcoming releases ushering in an exciting new era for the London-via-Essex singer-songwriter, out via Big Family Music. The brighter, more anthemic new release brings a sense of momentum and urgency to Ruti's repertoire, which has previously luxuriated in minimalist piano-led confessionals.
Written and produced with Theo Hutchcraft of HURTS and Will Bloomfield — whose credits span Fred Again, Bastille, and Alfie Templeman — the single arrives with a visual where a troupe of characters moves from a suburban setting into the forest, led by a guitar-wielding Ruti. It's joyful, communal, and quietly radical in its simplicity: a song about showing up for people, plain and unadorned.
At the tail end of last year, Ruti unveiled their Maybe I Got It Wrong project — described by Ruti as "the most me I've felt" — written across London, LA, and Stockholm, blending folk, lo-fi textures, layered harmonies, and electronic flourishes. "I'll Be Your Friend" feels like the natural next step: the same emotional honesty, now given room to breathe and soar.
For fans of Florence and the Machine, Adrienne Lenker, or anyone who believes pop music can still mean something — Ruti is your next favorite artist. This one's going to travel far.
