Kevian Kraemer Releases “you woke me up” Via Atlantic Records
Kevian Kraemer releases his emotionally charged new single “you woke me up” via Atlantic Records, marking the first musical offering from the buzzing singer-songwriter this year. Co-written by Kraemer and produced alongside collaborators Michael Kamerman and Dan Rufolo, the song layers ethereal electric guitar transmissions between steady beat-craft. “‘you woke me up’ stems from a situation where my lack of awareness and communication hurt someone that I deeply care about and myself,” Kraemer shares. “It’s about growing and understanding that I need to be more intentional in my relationships with people, especially romantic ones. This song is bold, loud, and I wouldn’t want the start of 2026 to be any other way.”
oungBoy Never Broke Again Named Best Rapper Alive And Most Certified Rapper Of All Time
YoungBoy Never Broke Again is named Best Rapper Alive by Complex, joining an elite society including Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Drake, Ye, and more. The most-streamed artist in the world is also now the most certified rapper of all time, with the Recording Industry Association of America announcing that YoungBoy surpassed Drake and Jay-Z for the most gold and platinum songs and albums ever with 126 RIAA certifications. This honor comes with the release of his highly anticipated album ‘Slime Cry’, which debuted at number six on the Billboard Charts, making it his 17th Top 10 album. All of these recognitions occurred within one week.
Following the record-breaking success of ‘MASA’ and the landmark 2025 MASA Tour, hailed by The New York Times as the number one music moment of the year, YoungBoy’s ‘Slime Cry’ release solidifies him as one of the greatest of all time. Fans eagerly awaited the delayed release, and streaming numbers reflect that enthusiasm. The Baton Rouge rapper holds records as the youngest artist with 100 or more Billboard Hot 100 entries and as the rapper with the most charting albums in Billboard history.
Known for his raw, emotionally intense music, YoungBoy first gained attention with mixtapes like ’38 Baby’ in 2016 and ‘Mind of a Menace 3’, breaking through with ‘AI YoungBoy’ in 2017. With chart-topping albums including ‘Until Death Call My Name’ in 2018, ‘AI YoungBoy 2’ in 2019, ‘Top’ in 2020, ‘Sincerely, Kentrell’ in 2021, and ‘MASA’ in 2025, he has become the only hip-hop artist to debut three consecutive number one albums. His relentless output and deep connection with fans make him a defining force in contemporary music.
The Trousers Release Seventh Studio Album ‘Necessary Evil’
The Trousers release ‘Necessary Evil’, the seventh studio album from the Budapest-based hard rock and garage rock band. Songwriter and frontman Zoltán Kőváry started writing the songs in spring 2024, with the first single “Second hand suicide” released in May 2025. A Canadian rock radio called it “an instant rock classic,” while the second single “Restless in peace” tripled the band’s audience on Spotify. The material was finalized in summer 2025 and released in November by Music Fashion Records. Although the band has maintained their own mature sonic landscape since 2013’s ‘Freakbeat’, which featured Hellacopters frontman Nicke Andersson, ‘Necessary Evil’ represents a great step forward with more massive sound and melodic, catchy songs that avoid commercial polish. The album synthesizes 1960s groove and 1970s raw heaviness with modern sound, creating something timeless that serves as a soundtrack for a journey in the rock and roll universe. The feedbacks are excellent, with German Ox Fanzine and Italian Rock Hard both rating the album 9 out of 10. The former claimed “this is how a modern rock album should sound” while the latter elected it “the self-produced album of the month” in January 2025.
