Watch Jairic Go Full Duality in ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall’ Video

Out now via Rich Air Music, Jairic‘s ‘Young, Old, Short & Tall‘ lands as the hard-hitting closer before his n = 40 EP hits December 5. The Detroit-raised, Cannes-based artist stays fully self-reliant—writing, rapping, and producing everything himself—which has stacked almost 2 million streams and earned props from Wonderland Magazine, NOTION, CLASH Magazine, EARMILK, and airplay on NPR Music. His palette mixes Nas-level wordplay and Wu-Tang density with Detroit rawness, funk grooves, ’60s rock punch, and moody film-score vibes, making him a natural pull for anyone locked into 21 Savage, Young Thug, Playboi Carti, or A$AP Mob territory.

Sonically, it grabs you quick with an earworm refrain, then Jairic’s precise, high-energy bars ride a beat that opens sharp and energetic before the distortion creeps in heavier, adding that chaotic swell under the finesse.

The Bastien Leblanc-directed video steals the show though—Jairic owns a massive, extravagant mansion, dancing fluidly and firing off witty bars in opulent rooms that drip wealth. That polished excess slams against the track’s gritty core, visually mapping his journey from underground Detroit to European high society; the contrast feels intentional and loaded, every shot reinforcing the tension between street roots and current elevation in a way that elevates the whole release.

Jairic shared: “There are so many beautiful people in the world—and then there’s a ton of hate and doubt. Be strong. Keep forging and let the fire burn inside. There are a thousand reasons to stop—forget them.“

OutKast Cement their Legacy in the 2025 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

OutKast‘s induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame on November 8 capped a legacy that reshaped Southern hip-hop from the ground up. The Atlanta duo—André 3000 and Big Boi—broke through in 1994 with their debut Southernplayalisticadillacmuzik, a slab of funk-laced trap that spotlighted the Dirty South’s gritty edge. They kept pushing boundaries across ATLiens in 1996, Aquemini two years later, and Stankonia in 2000, blending cosmic soul with booming basslines. Their 2003 double set, Speakerboxxx/The Love Below, snagged the Grammy for Album of the Year and went diamond, proving rap could dominate pop charts without losing its bite.

At the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, Childish Gambino handed over the honor, crediting OutKast for building Atlanta into a hip-hop powerhouse and paving the way for acts like his own. The pair kept it light with a quick Rock, Paper, Scissors round to pick speech order. Big Boi led off, shouting out the divine spark that linked him with his partner from the jump. André 3000 followed with an off-the-cuff reflection, voice cracking as he nodded to humble origins in the cramped Dungeon Family setup—echoing Jack White‘s nod to “little rooms” where big ideas ignite.

Big Boi closed the night solo, ripping through a high-energy medley of classics backed by Tyler, The Creator, J.I.D, Killer Mike, Janelle Monáe, and Doja Cat. As the lone hip-hop group in this year’s class, OutKast slots in alongside past inductees like Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five, Run-DMC, Public Enemy, N.W.A, Tupac Shakur, Jay-Z, Eminem, and Missy Elliott—plus last year’s A Tribe Called Quest. Salt-N-Pepa picked up the Musical Influence Award, while the late Warren Zevon got his due in rock.

µ-Ziq Reworks Textbook Maneuver’s ‘Adrenaline Slip’ into IDM-Shoegaze Hybrid Out Now

µ-Ziq‘s remix of Textbook Maneuver‘s ‘Adrenaline Slip‘ landed this past weekend, November 7, 2025, on Life Science Records. Under his real name, Mike Paradinas, the UK IDM pioneer founded Planet Mu and surfaced in 1993 with a string of aliases including Jake Slazenger, Kid Spatula, and Tusken Raiders. He’s garnered steady support from Pitchfork, The Guardian, DJ Mag, and Pop Matters, highlighted by his 1997 album Lunatic Harness, which cleared 100,000 worldwide sales as a drill ‘n’ bass touchstone. His 1999 project, Royal Astronomy, honed that orchestral-electronic approach, earning placements on NME‘s year-end compilations. Planet Mu continues to drive breakcore, footwork, and dubstep, offering breakout spots to figures like Venetian Snares and Jlin in electronic music’s wider network.

The remix draws deeply from the heart of the original, transforming its intricate rhythms, pulsating synth lines, and glitchy textures into a track that shifts from relaxed chillout sequences to an exhilarating IDM climax. µ-Ziq masterfully weaves in captivating tambourine accents and expertly chopped breakbeats layered over expansive drones, paying homage to the lush textures of ’90s shoegaze while boldly preserving the genre’s vital rhythmic core.

µ-Ziq had this to say: “The starting point for my remix of Adrenaline Slip was the one of the stems, an Alchemy patch which sounds like a distorted electric guitar. I processed and cut it up, adding a breakbeat and tried to make it all a bit dreamy and smeared inspired by 90s shoegaze bands like MBV and early Swervedriver.”

Seth Tabatznik Drops Intimate Indie Folk Single ‘Shining for Love’

London-raised indie folk talent Seth Tabatznik kicked off a fresh chapter with the release of his new single, ‘Shining for Love’, out now via Moth Music. Just a year into releasing music since 2024, Tabatznik has already pulled in more than 100,000 streams worldwide, thanks in part to buzz around his last release, ‘Choose To Be Alive’, which caught ears at major publications like CLASH Magazine. On the stage front, he’s no slouch either—his first-ever gig at Boschendal Estate in Cape Town, South Africa, sold out fast. He followed that with another packed venue at Green Note in London’s Camden area. With a second full-length album slated for 2026, Tabatznik is staking a solid claim in the indie folk scene.

‘Shining for Love’ unfolds as a gentle acoustic piece, layering guitars and subtle string swells over light beats to frame Tabatznik‘s clear, devoted vocals. The track leans into subtle ways of seeing expressions of love in nature, keeping things lofty and afloat yet pulling you right in with its steady emotional pull, like the sway of leaves in a cool summer breeze.

Seth Tabatznik had this to say: “This song came to me in a forest, spoken by the elements around me. It was like nature took my pen and transcribed the lyrics into my notebook, accompanied by a simple 4 chord progression. I love how the song builds and accelerates as a celebration for life, love and nature. This song is all about nature and how her every action comes from a place of love. Every sound, every movement, is her way of expressing herself, as she is one being, of which we are a part, not apart.“
