A$AP Rocky to perform songs from ‘Don’t Be Dumb,’ pay tribute to A$AP Yams on ‘Songline’ series

January 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

A$AP Rocky fans can get “Wild For a Night” when they tune into his upcoming episode of Amazon Music’s Songline series.

Set to air Sunday, two days after the release of his long-awaited album Don’t Be Dumb, the special will feature performances of songs from the project filmed across various locations in his native New York City. The episode will also include orchestrations by Danny Elfman, storytelling segments and guest appearances from members of the A$AP Mob. There will also be an interview exploring Rocky’s creative process and his evolving artistry.

While the series celebrates the release of his album, it will also pay tribute to late A$AP Mob cofounder A$AP Yams, who died of an overdose on Jan. 18, 2015 — also known as Yams Day — which coincides with the show’s release date.

“IN CELEBRATION OF MY BROTHER A$AP YAMS, PERFORMING IN NEW YORK IS ALWAYS SPECIAL & A FULL CIRCLE MOMENT,” Rocky said in a statement. “YAMS BELIEVED IN THE VISION B4 EVERYONE. I WANT TO THANK AMAZON MUSIC SONGLINE FOR ALLOWING ME TO CELEBRATE THESE MOMENTS.”

The special will premiere Sunday at 9 p.m. ET and stream exclusively on Amazon Music, Prime Video and Twitch, where it will be available to stream for 24 hours.

Don’t Be Dumb arrives Friday and includes the singles “Punk Rocky” and “Helicopter,” the latter of which features a music video that Rocky has clarified is not AI generated, but “generational.”

January 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

It’s hard to tell what Brothers Osborne are up to, but it’s a safe bet it’s something.

On Monday, TJ Osborne and John Osborne posted a video of them walking into Dino’s Restaurant in East Nashville, an establishment that prides itself on being “Nashville’s oldest dive bar.”

The post ends with the date 1.15, and the text of the message is a link to BrothersNewsNetwork.com, which happens to be a real website.

The BNN page includes a plethora of outrageous headlines and links, including “Two Maryland Men Try to Rob Gas Station with Live Alligator as Emotional Support Animal” and “TJ Osborne Emerges as Lead Candidate for Baltimore Ravens Head Coaching Job Following Harbaugh Firing.”

Of course, the siblings originally hail from Deale, Maryland.

The duo hasn’t released a full-fledged album since 2023’s self-titled Brothers Osborne, but they did drop the single “Finish This Drink” in April 2025.

Stay tuned to see what TJ and John reveal Thursday.

January 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

If you’re one of the folks who’s trying to unravel exactly what’s going on in Megan Moroney‘s dating life, you’re gonna wanna hear the track she’s dropping on Friday.

“Wish I Didn’t” is the latest preview of her Cloud 9 album and seems likely to inspire some speculation as to who it’s about.

“You’ve got a hell of a reputation/ So here I am patiently waiting/ For that other shoe — or should I say boot — to drop,” she lip-synchs in a long social media clip. “I’ve heard all of the horror stories/ Your graveyard of girls before me/ If you play dirty — how do I say this?/ Hell hath no fury.”

“You show up & you’ve got all the right things to say/ It’s all sunshine & blue skies, but I can also make it rain. Don’t make me wish I didn’t get dressed up,” the chorus begins, just as the preview ends.

“Wish I Didn’t” is the 13th track on Cloud 9, which is set to arrive Feb. 20, and includes her two current hits, “6 Months Later” and “Beautiful Things.”

Dead & Company Oteil Burbridge pays tribute to Bob Weir

January 13, 2026 by WDNY Radio

Dead & Company bassist Oteil Burbridge is the latest musician to pay tribute to Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir, who died on Saturday at age 78.

“I can’t think of anyone that needed to play live music any more than Bob. It went past devotion, past dedication, past obsession. It seemed to me more like self identification,” Burbridge wrote on Instagram. “I think he felt it is what and who he was. I also cannot think of anyone who played more live shows. We could depend on it like the sun coming up.”

He then went on to thank Weir from bringing him into Dead & Company.

“There are no words that could ever encompass the last ten years we shared together. I’m so blessed to have been a part of it all,” Burbridge offered. “And thank you for being so generous with your time and sharing yourself with so many of us younger musicians.”

“It does my heart good to see so many pictures of you with so many musicians that weren’t in the Grateful Dead. Thank you for including us,” he added. “There is no higher form of musical grace.”

Burbridge suggested that one way fans can honor Bob “would be to fully live our life.”

“This life is such a gift, such a golden opportunity,” he wrote. “Please don’t let someone else define it. Let it proceed by it’s own design. Follow that inner voice and go for broke!”

He concluded by recalling a friend who said it was sad that Weir was only 78 when he died. “I told him I thought Bob packed at least 146 years into it,” Burbrigde noted.
