HipHopWired Featured Video Source: NurPhoto / Getty / Delta Flying the friendly skies got a bit better for Delta Skymiles Members thanks to Delta’s longstanding partnership with T-Mobile. Hinting at this big move coming in 2023, Delta has finally confirmed that SkyMiles Members will get free inflight Wi-Fi as part of its partnership with T-Mobile. T-Mobile customers already enjoyed the perk of having free Wi-Fi during flights but beginning Feb.1, the program will expand to Skymile Members even if they don’t use T-Mobile as a wireless carrier. With any “free service,” users should expect to experience some ads before they are given access to the Wi-Fi. Not all of Delta’s flights will have free Wi-Fi; per the company’s announcement, the free service will roll out on “most” mainline dom...

Liam Negus, co-founder of Pollen, charged the beleaguered events company for costs associated with his Ibiza wedding prior to the firm’s collapse, The Daily Mail reports. According to the outlet, who cited an exposé by Insider, expense reports revealed “lavish” spending by Negus and his brother, Pollen co-founder Callum Negus-Fancey, including £52,776 to secure a luxury villa on the famed party island.

Dutch DJ and producer Nora Van Elken has dropped Lord of the Rings, a new EP comprising three stellar reworks of iconic music from the eponymous franchise.

Since SZA released SOS last month, the highly-anticipated album has continued to run up the streaming numbers. And to celebrate its chart-topping success, the R&B artist has decided to bless her fans with a new digital version of the record that includes “PSA” and her solo rendition of “Open Arms.” “PSA” was first teased prior to the album release along with a video visual. Length-wise it falls on the shorter end by clocking in at one minute and 40 seconds. She references Baryshnikov — the famous ballet dancer — in the tune as an allusion to how she enjoys pushing the buttons of a possible lover in crafty ways much like how you must be flexible and agile as a dancer. “Open Arms” has certainly been one of the more popular tunes from the new project. Fans have shown their appreciation fo...
Tiësto has dropped his first new single of 2023, a hypnotizing house track called “Lay Low.” Brimming with sultry deep house undertones and spacey choral vocals, “Lay Low” sets the tone for what should be another big year for the Dutch dance music icon, who is currently gearing up for the release of his seventh studio album. Tiësto’s new single is the latest of a string of high-profile collabs blurring the lines of pop and house music, including “10:35” (with Tate McRae) and the anthemic “Hot In It” (with Charli XCX). Both are confirmed to appear on his forthcoming album, Drive. Tiësto recently said that Drive will take on a “completely new direction” as he embraces more house music production. The album, which is ...

Ice Spice is starting the new year off strong with a fresh track. “In Ha Mood” is a club banger created to inspire women to recognize their own worth. For the song, the Bronx rapper teamed up with her frequent collaborator RIOTUSA to create a beat inspired by jersey clubs. After opening with a warped sing-song melody, Spice calls out her tagline and launches into a rhythmic, balanced rap sequence. “She a baddie, she know she a ten / She a baddie with her baddie friend,” Spice raps. “They like, “Ice, how you always stay hot?” / Oh, they mad ’cause I keep makin’ bops.” In later bars, Spice talks about avoiding fakes since her music career has blown up and continuing to work on grinding out new music. “In Ha Mood” follows 2022’s viral single “Munch (Feelin’ U),” the song responsible for putti...
