USHER Joins Protégé JayDon and Paradise on New “Lullaby (mega remix)”

JayDon, the young R&B triple threat signed by USHER to his co-founded label, mega, has released the new “Lullaby (mega remix),” featuring his mentor and mega labelmate Paradise. The new version of the viral hit, out now via Zoo/mega/gamma, dials up the emotion as USHER delivers a trademark confession, JayDon elevates his vocals to match his mentor, and Paradise adds a melodic new verse. Produced by GRAMMY-nominated producer Harv (“Peaches”) and written by Felisha King (Cherish), the remix is a significant “torch-passing moment” from USHER to two artists he deems worthy of carrying on his legacy.

The original “Lullaby,” a lush ballad in stately 6/8 time, showcasing JayDon’s exquisite control and falsetto, became a viral sensation, topping the Spotify Viral 50 in South Korea for multiple weeks. “Lullaby” is a highlight from JayDon’s recently-released debut EP, Me My Songs & I, which also features the USHER-sampling track “I’ll Be Good” and the Jersey club-inspired “Boujee Baby.” The 18-year-old actor and singer, who has also appeared in films like The Lion King and TV shows like The Paynes, is now determined to solidify his place as one of his generation’s most vital R&B artists with the support of USHER and L.A. Reid.

RUSSIA Designates Art Collective PUSSY RIOT as “Extremist Organization” and Bans All Activity

RUSSIA Designates Art Collective PUSSY RIOT as “Extremist Organization” and Bans All Activity

Russia’s campaign against the feminist art collective Pussy Riot reached its apex today as the Tverskoy District Court of Moscow, at the request of the Ministry of Justice, officially classified the group as an “extremist organization” and banned its activities within the country. The ruling effectively criminalizes all association, circulation, and support for Pussy Riot, recasting the protest collective as a threat to national security and making simple actions—such as owning a balaclava, having a song on a computer, or even “liking” a social media post—punishable by prison time.

The ruling was delivered by Judge Maria Moskalenko, who has a history with the collective, having imprisoned Ilya Yashin, Alexei Navalny, and Peter Verzilov in 2011. This group designation follows a string of individual charges against members, including the sentencing of five members in absentia in September 2025 and the earlier arrests in absentia of founders Nadya Tolokonnikova and Peter Verzilov. The court order is designed to erase Pussy Riot’s existence from the minds of Russians, placing the group in the same category as Meta (Facebook/Instagram), the International LGBT movement, and the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s Anti-Corruption Foundation.

The group’s founder, Nadya Tolokonnikova, currently in exile, responded with defiance: “In today’s Russia, telling the truth is extremism. So be it – we’re proud extremists, then. I can say what I think about putin—that he is an aging sociopath spreading his venom around the world like cancer.” She added that while the ban is meant to sow fear, Pussy Riot remains committed to truth, progress, and justice, stressing, “We wear masks because you cannot stamp out an idea.” Alexey Knedlyakovsky, a Pussy Riot member since 2011, called the designation an “important event” confirming he was “extremely right to choose this path — the path of traditional human values: freedom, love, and equality.”

Cazzu Announces 2026 “Latinaje” Tour Her First-Ever U.S. Concert Run

Cazzu Announces 2026 “Latinaje” Tour Her First-Ever U.S. Concert Run

Latin Grammy-nominated artist Cazzu, one of the most influential voices in Latin urban music, officially announces her highly anticipated “Latinaje” Tour in 2026, bringing her bold artistic vision and iconic sound to U.S. audiences for the first time with 7 shows across the country.

Promoted by Live Nation, the tour will kick off on Thursday, April 30, 2026 at San Jose Civic in San Jose and will continue through May with stops in San Diego, Los Angeles, New York, Houston, and more.

The announcement follows Cazzu’s recent and highly successful “Latinaje” 14-date arena tour across Latin America and marks a milestone as she expands her tour to the U.S. for the first time in her career promoting her critically acclaimed fifth studio album, Latinaje, released in April 2025.

Entirely written by Cazzu and produced by Nico Cotton, Latinaje is a deeply introspective exploration of love in all its forms – fiery, fractured, eternal, and ephemeral. Through powerful storytelling, Cazzu places herself at the heart of narratives that reveal her strength, vulnerability, and the nuanced realities of love and identity as a Latin American woman. The album is a rich tapestry of sound, blending copla, tango, cumbia, bachata, corrido and Argentine folklore into a genre-defying journey. With every sonic and visual choice rooted in a celebration of Latin identity, Latinajeoffers a bold, contemporary tribute to the cultural diversity of the continent.

Latinaje features previously released singles “La Cueva” in which the video unfolds in a country house consumed by flames – a striking metaphor for the collapse of a relationship. In the corrido “Dolce,” the protagonist enacts revenge on a treacherous lover. Meanwhile, cumbia single “Con Otra”, which was the most viewed song on YouTube in Argentina in 2025, pays reference to Karina “La Princesita” and tells the story of a young woman navigating love and identity in the suburbs of Buenos Aires, Argentina.

Across stories and experiences, Cazzu places women firmly at the heart of Latinaje, portraying their strength, vulnerability, and deep connection to culture. Rather than relying on stereotypes, the women in this album emerge as complex, multidimensional characters, each with a distinct voice and a powerful story. Through their journeys, Latinaje becomes a bold statement on the importance of visibility and empowerment for women in a cultural landscape still heavily shaped by machismo and patriarchal tradition.

TICKETS: Tickets will be available starting with a presale (details below) beginning Tuesday, Dec. 16. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on sale beginning Thursday, Dec. 18 at 10:00am (local time) at livenation.com.

Online Casino Promotions: Perks, Unique Deals & Where To Find Them!

BY Mitch Rice

Online casinos have changed the way people enjoy gambling. They offer exciting games and amazing rewards that keep players coming back. The best part is the variety of promotional offers available to both new and experienced players.

These rewards can boost your gaming experience significantly. They give you extra chances to win and explore different games. Understanding how to use them properly can make your casino journey more enjoyable and potentially more profitable.

Online Casino Promotions: What Are They

Online casino promotions are special rewards that casinos offer to attract and keep players. These deals come in many forms, from free spins to bonus cash. They’re designed to give you more value when you play.

Most casino promotions have specific terms and conditions attached to them. You’ll need to meet certain requirements to claim and use them. Reading the fine print helps you understand what you’re getting into.

Common features of casino bonuses include:

  • Wagering requirements that must be met
  • Time limits for using the bonus
  • Game restrictions that apply
  • Maximum bet limits while playing with bonus funds

Additionally, these offers can vary greatly between different casinos. Some focus on slots, while others cater to table game players. Finding the right match for your gaming style is important.

Now, let’s review what’s the difference between playing free games and playing real money games with bonuses.

Playing With Online Casino Promotions vs Free Gaming

Free gaming lets you try casino games without any financial commitment. You can practice and learn the rules without risking real money. However, you also can’t win real cash prizes.

On the other hand, promotional offers give you actual chances to win money. You’re playing with bonus funds that can lead to real payouts. The excitement level is much higher because there’s something at stake.

Key differences:

  • Free games offer zero risk but zero reward potential
  • Bonus offers provide real winning opportunities
  • Free gaming is purely for entertainment
  • Promotional gaming can lead to withdrawable winnings

Furthermore, using bonus offers helps you understand real-money gaming better. You get the thrill of actual betting without using all your own funds. It’s a perfect middle ground between free play and regular gambling.

Playing With Bonuses vs Real Money Gaming

Real money gaming means you’re using your own funds to place bets. Every win goes directly to your account with no strings attached. You have complete control over when and how you withdraw your winnings.

Playing with casino bonuses means you need to follow certain rules. Wagering requirements usually apply before you can cash out. However, you’re risking less of your own money while still having winning chances.

The main advantage of bonus play is the extended gaming time you get. Your bankroll lasts longer with extra funds to use. This lets you explore more games and strategies without depleting your budget quickly.

Popular Online Casino Promotions You Can Not Miss

Welcome Bonuses

Welcome bonuses are the first rewards new players receive when joining a casino. They’re usually the most generous promotional offers available. Most casinos want to make a strong first impression with these deals.

These bonuses often match your first deposit by a certain percentage. Some casinos offer 100%, 200%, or even higher matching rates. The extra funds give you a great starting boost for your gaming journey.

Deposit-match Bonuses

Deposit-match bonuses reward you for adding funds to your account. The casino matches a portion of your deposit with bonus money. These deals aren’t just for new players—existing members can enjoy them too.

Typical deposit-match features include:

  • Percentage-based matching (50%, 100%, 150%)
  • Maximum bonus caps
  • Minimum deposit requirements
  • Specific promotional codes needed

Moreover, these bonus offers often come during special promotional periods. Weekends and holidays frequently feature enhanced matching rates. Keeping an eye on casino announcements helps you catch the best deals.

Cashback Rewards

Cashback rewards return a percentage of your losses over a specific period. This type of online casino promotion helps soften the blow of unlucky sessions. Getting money back feels great even when luck isn’t on your side.

Most cashback deals range from 5% to 25% of net losses. Some casinos calculate it daily, while others do weekly or monthly. The returned funds usually come with fewer restrictions than other bonuses.

Loyalty Rewards

Loyalty rewards programs thank regular players for their continued patronage. You earn points every time you place bets. These points can be exchanged for various perks and casino bonuses.

Common loyalty program benefits include:

  • Tiered membership levels with increasing perks
  • Exclusive tournament invitations
  • Personal account managers for VIP members
  • Faster withdrawal processing times

In addition, loyal players often receive personalized promotional offers. The more you play, the better your rewards become. It’s the casino’s way of showing appreciation for your business.

Holiday Deals

Holiday deals celebrate special occasions throughout the year. Christmas, Halloween, Easter, and other holidays bring themed bonus offers. These limited-time promotions often feature enhanced rewards and unique prizes.

Casinos get creative with their holiday campaigns to stand out. You might find special tournaments, increased cashback rates, or unique game releases. The festive atmosphere makes gaming even more entertaining during these periods.

Benefits Of Claiming Online Casino Promotions

Still considering whether claiming promotions is a good idea? Let’s list all the notable perks below.

The primary benefit is getting more value from your deposits. Bonus offers stretch your bankroll significantly further than playing with cash alone. You can try more games and play longer sessions without additional investment.

Another advantage is the risk reduction that comes with playing. When you’re using bonus funds, you’re not risking as much of your own money. This takes some pressure off and lets you enjoy the experience more freely.

Additional benefits include:

  • Opportunity to test new games without full financial commitment
  • Chance to win real money with minimal personal investment
  • Access to exclusive tournaments and competitions
  • Better understanding of casino gaming mechanics

Furthermore, these deals help you discover which games you truly enjoy. You can experiment with different types without worrying about rapid losses. This exploration phase is valuable for developing your gaming preferences and strategies.
