July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

“Here We Go” down the aisle. That’s what Coco Jones will soon be able to sing, as she and NBA boyfriend Donovan Mitchell are officially engaged.

Coco subtly announced the news on her Instagram, sharing a photo of her kissing Mitchell with her hand on his chest. Noticeable among the accessories is her large engagement ring.

Mitchell also posted the photo, alongside an overhead video of the moment he got on one knee.

Reps for the couple tell People in a statement that the proposal took place while the two were on vacation recharging “after an amazing season and a sold-out tour.”

“The couple has been dating for two years and look forward to building a life together,” the statement added.

Fans have long known about the relationship between Coco and the Cleveland Cavaliers player, though Coco has kept most details private. She’s mainly remained mum about the relationship, simply saying in interviews that she is happy.

July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Clipse is celebrating their new album with a performance on NPR’s Tiny Desk. Now available to watch on YouTube, their concert quickly goes through the Thornton brothers’ discography with help from a live band.

They performed throwbacks “Virginia,” “Keys Open Doors” and “Momma I’m Sorry” before performing the Kendrick Lamar-assisted “Chains & Whips” and “The Birds Don’t Sing” from their newly released project, Let God Sort Em Out.

Clipse then closed out the performance with the grand finale: a live rendition of their hit “Grindin’.”

Clipse’s debut on Tiny Desk arrives alongside the release of Let God Sort Em Out, their first album in 16 years.

Speaking with Complex, Pusha T reflected on how it feels to be working with his brother Malice again.

“I’ve been working for the past 14 years without my brother. Being in this business, knowing it, coming into it as a collective, then being in it for so long by myself and really understanding brotherhood, camaraderie, family, loyalty, and knowing what that was and then not having it for so long and just being out there like, warrior time. You appreciate it so much,” he said.

Malice said he had to sit down, reflect, “get into my Word, understand who God is, and what my purpose is” before he could make his return to music. Now, he thinks the “timing is right.”

“Just to see my brother in position, Pharrell still in position, and me being where I needed to be, and to be able to come back, it’s really a no-brainer,” he said. “I feel like it’s ordained and I feel like it’s time.”

Three Days Grace closes in on ‘Billboard’ record with latest #1 single, ‘Apologies’

July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

“Apologies” to Shinedown, but Three Days Grace is coming for your Billboard record.

The Canadian rockers have just earned their 19th #1 hit on the Mainstream Rock Airplay chart with their current single, “Apologies.” That puts them just one behind Shinedown, who hold the record for most number ones with 20 since the tally began in 1981.

Three Days Grace at one point did own the record for most Mainstream Rock Airplay number ones when they broke Van Halen‘s long standing mark of 13 leaders back in 2018. Shinedown then took over as the all-time leader in 2020, and they and Three Days Grace have been going back-and-forth for the record ever since.

“Apologies” appears on 3DG’s upcoming album, Alienation, their first since original frontman Adam Gontier rejoined the band to form a two-vocalist lineup alongside longtime singer Matt Walst.

Alienation is due out Aug. 22. It also includes the lead single “Mayday,” which hit #1 on Mainstream Rock Airplay, as well.

July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Kid Cudi may be Free in certain aspects of his life, but he’s locked into love with new wife Lola Abecassis Sartoremet.

The two tied the knot during a ceremony on June 28 at Cap Estel in Èze in the South of France.

“It was bliss,” Lola, head designer at ERL, tells Vogue. “A moment out of time where the world stopped, and it was just the two of us. We forgot everything around us. It was just us and our love, and it was the purest moment.”

During the ceremony the couple exchanged bands created by jeweler Ben Baller. Afterward, their guests enjoyed a performance from Badbadnotgood, who performed at Virgil Abloh‘s first show for Louis Vuitton, where the couple met, according to Vogue.

Cudi flexed his musical talents during the wedding’s after-party, performing two songs for Lola from his upcoming album, Free, set to arrive on Aug. 22.

Cudi and Lola met in 2018. He proposed on Dec. 28, 2023, at a temple in Kyoto.

“Everyone [we know who had] already gotten married told us it would go fast. We didn’t know it would go this quickly [though]. We’re on cloud nine in our little bubble of love,” Lola tells Vogue. “It’s so overwhelming to receive so much love in such a short amount of time. You want this feeling to never end. It was really the most perfect, flawless, peaceful day, and we want to do it all over again. Looking back, I wouldn’t change a thing.”

July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Is it clocking to you now? Justin Bieber addresses his viral “standing on business” rant on his new album, Swag.

In a voice memo interlude titled “Standing on Business,” we hear the sound play of Justin telling paparazzi, “You’re not getting it. It’s not clocking to you. It’s not clocking to you that I’m standing on business.”

Then we hear comedian Druski poking fun at Justin for the way he pronounced “business.”

In another spoken interlude with Druski, titled “Therapy Session,” Justin addresses the scrutiny over his mental health. “I think that’s been a tough thing for me recently,” he says. “Feeling like I’ve had to go through a lot of my struggles as a human really publicly, and so people always asking if I’m OK, and that starts to really weigh on me.”

He also gets personal on the track “Walking Away,” in which he sings about struggles in his marriage to wife Hailey Bieber.

“Baby, I ain’t walking away,” he sings. “You were my diamond/ Gave you a ring/ I made you a promise/ I told you I’d change.”

Swag, which also features standout tracks “Daisies” and “Yukon,” is out now.

The romantic relationship that birthed Tigirlily Gold’s ‘Thinkin’ Bout That’

July 11, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Tigirlily Gold‘s new song, “Thinkin’ Bout That,” was inspired by a conversation between the duo’s Krista Slaubaugh and her fiancé, Walker Montgomery.

“He pointed out a house and asked me what I thought about it,” Krista recalls. “I said, ‘I don’t know, I’ve never had to think about that.’ He turned to me and said, ‘Well, you should start thinkin’ bout that.’ With that simple phrase, he gave a sense of reality to every single future dream of mine.”

“Thinkin’ Bout You” follows the tracks “Girls on Guys” and “Forever from Here,” which is Tigirlily Gold’s first new music since their 2024 debut, Blonde.
