Vybz Kartel is providing new music for your summer playlist. He’s announced a new album, God & Time, set to arrive on June 5.

Vybz announced the news via Instagram alongside a snippet of the video for the title track, which has since been released on YouTube.

The video finds him walking into a church, where he prays and praises God. Other scenes include people reading the Bible, a choir singing, a young man reuniting with an elder in a church and a prisoner praying in his cell, possibly symbolizing Vybz’s own time in prison. The visual also features moments from his life after his release, including clips of him hugging his mother, accepting plaques and performing onstage with DJ Khaled.

“I named the album God & Time because it’s a slang that has been popular in Jamaica since we was children,” Vybz tells Billboard. “When I was in prison, my lawyer used to always say that to me. I eventually just started believing in myself and applying it to my life.”

Billboard also reports that Shenseea, Skillibeng and Latin Grammy-winning reggaetonero Farruko are featured, with more surprises still to come. “You can expect Vybz Kartel energy; the flow will be different, and the lyrics will be amazing,” he teased.

God & Time is now available for preorder.

Ingrid Andress wishes an ex “All the Best” on her new track coming Friday — or does she? 

“I wouldn’t consider myself a petty person, but I couldn’t help but write ‘All The Best’ the way that we did,” she says. “My friends and my therapist say I’m too sarcastic, so I would say this song’s tone is very ‘me’ in that way.”

“I’m at a point in my life where I don’t get overly angry at someone if the relationship doesn’t work out, just annoyed,” she adds. “I’m too tired to be overly angry, so consider this a playful breakup song.”

Ingrid wrapped her six-city Low-Key Sessions tour with a sold-out show in Minneapolis on May 15.

Look for more new music from the “More Hearts Than Mine” hitmaker as she continues to put the finishing touches on her third studio album.

Drake temporarily steps away from his Iceman character and into a yes-man in a new Nike commercial.

In the spot promoting Kevin Durant’s Nike KD 19 sneaker, he’s asked to react to some unusual shoe designs.

“First thought? Transcending the game,” Drake says. “It’s like, you need a banjo for those. Those are crazy. This guy went home, home on the range with it. Wow. You’re in 2038 with those.”

“I can’t hoop in these,” KD replies.

He also praises a pair of white and blue sneakers with white fur. “Those are hard,” Drake says. “This guy’s trying to dominate the Alaskan market. You gotta keep the ankles warm. … I see the jumper. Those are crazy.”

As the conversation goes on, KD confronts Drake, asking, “Yo, what’s wrong with you? You think I would wear these? Are you even a real friend?”

“I thought you were taking it somewhere else, like on some fashion,” Drake responds. KD then asks, “Are you a yes-man, bro?”

“No, I’m supporting my brother,” Drake replies. “If you’re going there, I’m going with you.”

KD eventually reveals the final design, dubbed the Candys, prompting Drake to react.

“The Candyman’s home. Oh wait, did I just get a cavity,” he says. “Someone call the dentist. … You know how many people are gonna be coppin this off the shelf.”

“These are fire flames, like. I need these,” he continues.

The clip ends with the message “… Everyone needs a yes man” appearing on the screen.

Drake shared the post on his Instagram, alongside the caption, “Normalize glazing the bros.”

His Iceman album is currently available to stream.

Get ready to receive a special Visitor in July.

Sienna Spiro will release her debut album, Visitor, July 3. It features all three of her singles: “Die on this Hill,” “The Visitor” and “You Stole the Show.” You can presave the album now, or preorder signed limited-edition copies.

Sienna explains the album title in a statement, saying, “I’ve always had a strong awareness of impermanence; I’m very fearful of things ending and people leaving. It’s so intense that I often won’t participate in new relationships or anything I know won’t last, so in a way I’ve spent most of my life feeling like a visitor — like someone who’s just passing through.”

“Making this album really taught me how to savor things in the moment, instead of constantly worrying about the future,” she adds. “When people hear the record, I hope it helps them to find some comfort in the fact that everything is temporary. We don’t always have to rush to let go — we can let things matter without needing them to last.”

Announcing the album on Instagram, the British singer wrote, “I cannot believe I’m saying this. I have been a fan of albums since I could talk and I’ve wanted to make my own forever. I don’t even know what to say. I’m just so excited and CANNOT WAIT for you to hear.”

Lenny Kaye, the longest serving member of the Patti Smith Group, has released another song off his upcoming debut album, Goin’ Local.

The latest is the track “Solstice,” which was co-written by Smith. The 79-year-old Kaye notes, “[O]ur collaboration continues a long history together across many of our shared works.”

This is the second track Kaye has released from the album, after previously releasing the title track.

Goin’ Local, coming out July 17, is described as “a deeply personal collection” that represents Kaye’s “most autobiographical and introspective turn yet.”

In addition to Smith, the album includes guest appearances from jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, Railroad Earth’s Tim Carbone, The Jayhawks’ John Jackson and multi-instrumentalist David Mansfield.

Goin’ Local is available for preorder now.

After hitting the road this spring with Dave Alvin and Jimmie Dale Gilmore, Kaye has more shows lined up for this summer, including an appearance at Dex Fest in Carrboro, North Carolina, which takes place June 26-27.

You might not immediately guess that Darius Rucker is a huge fan of wrestling, but given his affinity for other sports like football and golf, it’s not that much of a stretch. 

He loves it so much, in fact, he’s written an article about it for Rolling Stone titled “‘They Were Father Figures’: Darius Rucker on his Favorite Eighties Pro Wrestlers.”

Young Darius loved the “good-versus-evil narrative” and he reveals it was definitely a family affair, even extending to his grandmother. 

“She had a heart problem, and was so into it when I was a kid that her doctor made her stop watching!” he reveals. “It was such a part of my childhood, probably because I grew up without a dad and I’d look at the wrestling stars like father figures.”

The Hootie & the Blowfish frontman goes on to reveal his absolute favorite: Dusty Rhodes.

You can check out the article online now.
