Now, Ludacris brings that excitement to Miami Gardens. His set promises to be one of the festival’s standout performances.
Nelly & Ashanti, two of the most influential artists of the 2000s, join the JITG Music Fest as headliners, bringing a dynamic blend of hip-hop and R&B to the 2026 lineup. Together, their catalog spans decades of chart-topping hits and unforgettable collaborations, including their era-defining chemistry on fan favorites that helped shape a generation of music.

Quince, the brand redefining modern luxury through uncompromising quality and accessible prices, announces a partnership with multi-hyphenate artist, entrepreneur, actor, and fashion icon A$AP Rocky to celebrate the release of DON‘T BE DUMB, the artist’s highly anticipated first studio album in over seven years marking a long-awaited return that blends music, fashion and visual storytelling.
The collaboration features a limited-edition vinyl with a custom, co-branded cover exclusively at Quince.com, alongside a DON’T BE DUMB Quince-exclusive t-shirt. The artwork from the Quince x A$AP Rocky exclusive limited-edition vinyl draws directly from The Shirthead, one of the album’s central characters—an iconic, fabric-formed figure that represents identity as something worn, lived in, and constantly evolving.
“This collaboration reflects how we think about modern luxury,” said Antonieta Moreland, Head of Brand at Quince. “Great design, cultural relevance, and access should never be mutually exclusive.”
The vinyl edition of DON’T BE DUMB transforms the album into a tangible home collectible for A$AP Rocky fans and record collectors alike. More than a record, it’s a design piece and cultural artifact, reflecting Rocky’s immersive world-building and Quince’s commitment to thoughtful craftsmanship and timeless quality.
Expanding the partnership further, Quince will also release a limited DON’T BE DUMB t-shirt, inspired by the album’s exclusive artwork. Crafted from 100% organic cotton in a premium slub jersey, the tee reflects Quince’s dedication to elevated essentials while marrying the spirit of the album with apparel.
By partnering directly with A$AP Rocky and his creative team, Quince continues to push beyond traditional retail boundaries, bringing culturally significant collaborations to life without traditional markups or gatekeeping.
The DON’T BE DUMB exclusive vinyl ($22.99) and limited-edition t-shirt ($50) is available now only at quince.com, while supplies last.
Noah Kahan has partnered with Culture Pop Soda to launch a limited-edition Sparkling Black Cherry flavor, combining the singer’s favorite drink with a mission to support mental health awareness.
The collaboration launches with a $100,000 donation from Culture Pop Soda to The Busyhead Project, the mental health initiative founded by Kahan to expand access to care and help reduce stigma around mental health struggles.
The limited-edition drink reimagines Culture Pop’s popular Sparkling Black Cherry flavor and reflects the shared New England roots of the Vermont-born singer-songwriter and the Massachusetts-based beverage brand.
“Culture Pop is the real deal,” Kahan said. “It’s not full of the fake stuff; it’s good for your gut, and Black Cherry is genuinely my favorite Culture Pop flavor to drink.”
The partnership is designed to go beyond a traditional celebrity collaboration. Culture Pop and Kahan plan to roll out additional community-focused initiatives throughout 2026, including events, giveaways and fundraising moments tied to The Busyhead Project.
Kahan launched the Busyhead Project to promote mental health awareness and provide resources for those seeking help. The initiative has already raised more than $5.5 million through livestream concerts, fan campaigns and charitable efforts.
Culture Pop founder and CEO Tom First said the partnership reflects the singer’s dedication to the cause.
“He cares so deeply about The Busyhead Project and we are thrilled to work with him and support his efforts,” First said.
The limited-edition Sparkling Black Cherry soda is now available online and at major retailers nationwide including Whole Foods Market, Walmart, Sprouts and Albertsons.
Kahan has become one of the leading voices in modern folk and Americana, earning billions of streams worldwide with songs from his breakthrough album ‘Stick Season’.
Yamaha is expanding its professional audio lineup with a powerful new suite of tools designed for musicians, streamers, podcasters, and content creators. The company has officially launched the MGX Series digital mixers, URX Series audio interfaces, and the CC1 USB controller, delivering studio-quality sound and streamlined control for modern creative workflows.
The new lineup blends Yamaha’s long-standing reputation for professional audio performance with digital capabilities aimed at today’s hybrid production environments. From live performances to streaming studios, the system is designed to provide flexibility, intuitive control, and seamless integration across platforms.
The MGX Series builds on the legacy of Yamaha’s widely used MG mixers. The updated consoles feature advanced digital processing, support for 32-bit/96 kHz audio, and multi-channel streaming capabilities. Select models also include HDMI-USB video and audio interface functionality, allowing creators to combine audio and video workflows more efficiently.
Available models include the MGX16 B/W, MGX12 B/W, MGX16V B/W, and MGX12V B/W, all offered in both black and white finishes.
Complementing the mixers is the URX Series of professional audio interfaces.

The URX44V model also integrates HDMI-USB video/audio capabilities, making it a central hub for hybrid production setups.
The URX lineup includes the URX44 B/W, URX22 B/W, and URX44V B/W models.

The controller integrates with major digital audio workstations including Cubase, Nuendo, and Pro Tools, as well as streaming software like OBS Studio.
Yamaha executives say the goal is not simply to add digital features but to enhance the creative process.

Music has always been good at sneaking advice into your brain. A great lyric arrives wrapped in melody, emotion, and rhythm, which makes it easier for the mind to remember. Neuroscientists often point out that music activates emotional and memory centers at the same time. When that happens, a single line can stick with you for years and quietly shape how you think about life. The best songwriters know this instinctively. They hide little life lessons inside choruses and verses, and suddenly a pop song becomes something close to philosophy. Here are ten songs that offer surprisingly solid guidance, each with a lyric-sized idea you can carry around with you.
“A Sky Full of Stars” by Coldplay This song is really about perspective. When things feel overwhelming, it reminds you that there is still beauty and possibility out there. Psychologically, shifting your attention toward wonder and awe can reduce stress and reset your mood. Sometimes the smartest move is simply to look up and remember the world is bigger than your current problem.
“Beautiful Day” by U2 The message here is gratitude in motion. Even when life throws curveballs, there is still something worth noticing. Studies on gratitude show it can improve mood and resilience because the brain starts scanning for positives instead of threats. The song works like a quick reminder that appreciation can change how the same day feels.
“Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey This track turns stubborn hope into a mantra. Belief does not guarantee success, but it keeps people moving when uncertainty hits. Confidence affects the brain’s performance systems by reducing hesitation and boosting motivation. In other words, sometimes the advice really is to keep going even when you are not sure where the road ends.
“Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor Few songs capture determination better than this one. The message is about discipline and the quiet grind of pushing forward. When the brain faces a challenge, adrenaline and focus increase, preparing the body for action. If you channel that energy instead of backing away from it, pressure becomes fuel.
“Here Comes the Sun” by The Beatles This song quietly celebrates the idea that difficult periods are temporary. The emotional lift comes from the promise that brighter days will return. Hope has real biological effects because it lowers stress responses and keeps motivation alive. Even a small sense that things will improve can carry people through tough stretches.
“I Will Survive” by Gloria Gaynor At its heart, this song is about resilience and self-respect. The idea that you can recover from setbacks is powerful for the mind and body. Resilience training often focuses on reframing negative events and reclaiming confidence. The chorus simply puts that mindset into three unforgettable words.
“Life in One Day” by Howard Jones Howard Jones wrote this as a reminder that time moves faster than we expect. The song encourages you to live fully instead of waiting for the perfect moment to begin. Psychologists often point out that meaningful experiences strengthen memory and emotional wellbeing. In simple terms, the more you actually live your days, the richer they become.
“Lose Yourself” by Eminem Opportunity does not usually wait around. This song captures the urgency of recognizing the moment and acting on it. Under pressure, the brain can either freeze or sharpen its focus depending on how we interpret the situation. Treating a challenge as a chance rather than a threat can unlock performance.
“Shake It Off” by Taylor Swift Criticism and awkward moments are part of everyday life. The trick is learning not to replay them endlessly in your head. Holding onto minor stressors keeps the body in a heightened stress state. Letting them go, even with a bit of humor, is often the healthier response
“Three Little Birds” by Bob Marley This song delivers one of the calmest pieces of advice in popular music. Worry rarely helps solve problems, but it can easily take over your thoughts. Relaxation signals the nervous system to slow down breathing and heart rate. Sometimes the most practical guidance is simply remembering that things will probably be alright.
Ranveer Singh’s upcoming action sequel Dhurandhar 2 is gearing up for a major theatrical launch, and audiences may get more than just one blockbuster preview. Reports say the teasers for two highly anticipated films — Cocktail 2 and Raja Shivaji — will debut exclusively alongside the movie when it hits theaters March 19.
The move is designed to capitalize on the enormous buzz surrounding Dhurandhar 2, the follow-up to the 2025 global smash that became the highest-grossing Indian film of the year. Attaching the teasers to the theatrical release gives moviegoers a first look at two of the industry’s most talked-about upcoming projects.
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar 2 continues the story of Hamza Ali Mazari, played by Ranveer Singh, an undercover Indian spy who infiltrates a powerful criminal network. The newly released trailer shows Hamza taking control of the volatile Lyari region while confronting enemies and the consequences of his past.
The sequel also dives deeper into Hamza’s backstory as Jaskirat Singh Rangi, exploring how he was recruited into a high-stakes intelligence mission. The trailer hints at an even more intense and violent chapter as the character seeks revenge while navigating shifting alliances.
Several familiar faces return to the franchise. Sanjay Dutt reprises his role as Chaudhry Aslam, while R. Madhavan returns as the intelligence strategist guiding the mission. Arjun Rampal steps forward as the primary villain Major Iqbal, setting up a brutal showdown with Singh’s character.
Other returning cast members include Sara Arjun and Rakesh Bedi, while Akshaye Khanna — whose character died in the first film — is reportedly set to appear in a cameo.
The original Dhurandhar was a box-office phenomenon, grossing more than ₹1,300 crore worldwide and becoming the biggest film of Ranveer Singh’s career. Its soundtrack also became a viral sensation, with remixed classics and new tracks dominating music charts.
With massive expectations for the sequel and exclusive teaser debuts planned, Dhurandhar 2 is shaping up to be one of the biggest theatrical events of 2026.
Stephen Hibbert, the actor and writer widely recognized for portraying The Gimp in Quentin Tarantino’s iconic 1994 film Pulp Fiction, has died at the age of 68.
Hibbert died March 2 in Denver, Colorado after suffering a heart attack, according to statements from family members. His children confirmed the news, saying their father’s life was defined by both creativity and dedication to family.
“Our father, Stephen Hibbert, passed away unexpectedly this week,” the family said in a statement. “His life was full of love and dedication to the arts and his family. He will be dearly missed by many.”
Born in Fleetwood, England, Hibbert first made his mark in entertainment as a television writer before appearing on screen. Early in his career, he wrote for Late Night with David Letterman from 1984 to 1986, contributing to more than 250 episodes during the program’s early years.
He later continued writing for television with credits that included Boy Meets World, Mad TV, Animaniacs, and Darkwing Duck. Hibbert also co-wrote the 1994 comedy It’s Pat: The Movie with his then-wife, actress and comedian Julia Sweeney.
While his writing career was extensive, Hibbert became instantly recognizable to movie audiences for his brief but unforgettable appearance in Pulp Fiction. In the film’s infamous pawn shop basement scene, he portrayed the mysterious masked character known as The Gimp.
Hibbert also appeared in several other films, including Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, The Cat in the Hat, and National Treasure: Book of Secrets. On television, he made guest appearances on shows such as Just Shoot Me!, Jericho, True Jackson, VP, and Dr. Ken.
In later years, Hibbert remained active in the creative community in Denver, teaching improv at Chaos Bloom Theater and sharing his knowledge with students studying film and performance.
He is survived by his three children: Ronnie, Rosalind, and Greg.
