Mykki Blanco - High School Never Ends (ft. Woodkid) (Official Music Video) The FADER 2016-05-17 | Purchase "High School Never Ends" Here: https://K7.lnk.to/HighSchoolNeverEndsYoThe video for "High School Never Ends," the lead single from Mykki Blanco's as-yet-unannounced new album, is a Shakespearean tragedy of sorts. Directed by Matt Lambert, it tells a non-linear Romeo and Juliet-like tale, replacing "fair Verona" with scenic rural Germany. The video was produced by Iconoclast in collaboration with The FADER and !K7, and it's debuting above.The new clip, which was filmed gorgeously by Control cinematographer Martin Ruhe, is a heartbreaking story about outsiders—in this case, queer ones. Similar to stories about forbidden romance, it ends with unspeakable violence. It's all set against Mikky's string-heavy new track, which was produced by and features Woodkid.According to Mykki Blanco and Matt Lambert, the powerful "High School Never Ends" video is also about the ongoing refugee crisis in Europe. “It never once overtly comments on orientation or race, but only ideas of 'us' and 'them,'" said Lambert. “I had once thought Europe was my safe haven from American white supremacy, and how wrong I became," Mykki Blanco added.http://www.thefader.com/2016/05/17/mykki-blanco-high-school-never-ends-music-videoSubscribe to Mykki Blanco youtube.com/user/mykkiblancoSubscribe now for more The FADER http://bit.ly/XPZVfGRead the FADER: http://www.thefader.comFollow the FADER on Twitter: twitter.com/thefaderLike the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJFollow the FADER on Tumblr: http://bit.ly/xerObWLYRICSShort change that gram, it girl’s and socialites white powder in they hands, getting twisted they hella lifted they asking bout them xansTrouble making these baby faces I’m blunted with some manAsking me about Poetry and I wanna leave but I can’tBody High like a thousand miles up in the sky God damnHe using words I never heard and I’m looking at my friendHe mackin deep and he’s trying to creep on that Black girl wearing VansThey blasting Nelly & Missy Elliot like High school never ends, like High school never ends like High school never ends, like High school never ends, ….“Popping pills this Molly heat & They rising on they feet… take some Xans to come down…Now I’m feeling dead”UP on this roof, breaking diesel I’m feeling evil rich kids got the best viewsThe whole city looks so pretty I’m sorry about being rude, Everybody got wet hair cuz they just came from the pool.

They discuss the incredible creative energy in Philadelphia around the turn of the millennium and the absurd concentration of talent around Electric Lady Studios in Greenwich Village; the difficulties The Roots faced when trying to level up after 1999’s Things Fall Apart; and how Jay-Z quoting The Simpsons on a phone call with Quest led to The Roots collaborating with Hov on MTV Unplugged, thawing out the cold war between underground and mainstream hip-hop.Like and subscribe: thefader.com/podcasts/uncoveredSubscribe now for more The FADER http://bit.ly/XPZVfG Read the FADER: http://www.thefader.com Follow the FADER on Twitter: twitter.com/thefader Like the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJ Follow the FADER on Instagram: instagram.com/thefader

Learn how not to make a curry in The FADER’s Hanging Out with James Blake The FADER 2021-04-29 | James Blake was already an acclaimed musician before 2020, when his rendition of Frank Ocean's "Godspeed" went viral on TikTok. He capped off the year with his EP Before, a project that saw Blake return to his dancefloor beginnings. And yet, with everything on his plate, he still found some time to kill with us.In our latest episode of Hanging Out, we get a peek inside the life of a super-producer when he's not making music. For Blake, it's playing the latest edition of Crash Bandicoot, a few rounds of tennis, and completely botching a curry despite in-person lessons from a pro. Perhaps he was distracted by his garish American flag spatula? Spend the whole day with Blake in the video above.

Black Thought and Portugal. The Man on which reality show they’d duke it out on The FADER 2020-12-17 | For his latest album Streams of Thought, Vol. 3: Cane & Able, Black Thought enlisted the help of Portugal. The Man on not one, not two, but three tracks — "Quiet Trip," "Nature of The Beast," and "Fuel." Today, we're having the former collaborators link up once again (albeit remotely, for obvious reasons) and play a good ole' fashioned round of "Would You Rather?" Topics up for debate include which reality TV program they'd rather duke it out on, touring with Pantera or Wu-Tang Clan, or having Christmas dinner at Kanye West's house versus Donald Trump's house.

SG Lewis - times: Past & Present (Documentary) The FADER 2020-12-03 | SG Lewis pays tribute to club culture in a period when the dancefloor is more needed than ever."Life is pretty fucking boring without it," SG Lewis says looking back on a year without any access to clubs. "Without moments to look back at and the experiences that make life worth living it is all pretty dull. It's a shame that we have a government that just doesn't care." Wandering around an empty Phonox in west London, he lays out his fears for the future of night life across the world, as a generation of young people miss out on the formative experiences of the dancefloor amid a global pandemic. Just how many establishments across the U.K. can make it through without major financial support?In times: Past & Present, The FADER’s insightful new documentary, we explore the dance music scene's most testing period with the help of SG Lewis. He talks about his life spent manning the decks at clubs across the country, from his student days in Liverpool as a resident at the formative Chibuku night to his status as a major producer and songwriter in his own right. He also discusses how experience of the past year has shaped his new record, originally called Good Times, now simply titled times as a reflection of the challenges faced this past year.Pre-Order SG Lewis "times" sglewis.lnk.to/times Subscribe now for more The FADER http://bit.ly/XPZVfG Read the FADER: http://www.thefader.com Follow the FADER on Twitter: twitter.com/thefader Like the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJ Follow the FADER on Instagram: instagram.com/thefaderCREDITSDirector: Harvey PearsonProduction Company: My AccompliceExec.

Nobodys having more fun than Flo Milli: The FADER Interview The FADER 2020-10-08 | It's been a landmark year for Flo Milli, who's gone from the inescapable fancam virality of "Beef FloMix" to fully consecrating her formidable presence on her debut project Ho, why is you here? which dropped earlier this summer. In her FADER Interview with Christine Ochefu, Flo reflects on her past and present, and what it's meant to step into the position of a role model: "I've always been confident... with other darker girls looking up to me, that just makes me more confident. It's really just knowing yourself and not going by society's standards, because if you think like society, you'll be like everybody else, and I don't think I'm like everybody else."Elsewhere in the interview, she offers advice for up-and-coming artists when dealing with major label contracts, and delineates a plan for continued female rap domination "you look at the guys in the game, and it's quick... they can collab with this one, that one. With females, if we take our platforms and combine them, we'll upbring everything we have."

Watch Mulatto recall how mistaken identity led to her wrongful arrest The FADER 2020-08-20 | With her massive eyes and buttery voice, Atlanta rapper #Mulatto is a figure who’s hard to forget. Like a doll brought to life, watching one of the Rap Game winner’s videos can be like watching someone grown in a lab to reach ‘iconic’ status as fast as possible. Still, this distinctiveness means that she’s visible from a mile away — as was the case when she was wrongfully arrested for theft and incarcerated. In her Remember That Time, the rising musician — who recently netted her first Billboard Hot 100 hit — recounts the strange saga of her arrest and release. It’s a harrowing tale for sure, but the way Big Latto tells it, you may not realize at first.

The episode finds them faced with some truly existential dilemmas, such as whether to move to an alien's planet or have an alien as a roommate. Plus, they mention the one riddim they wish they had thought of themselves, and offer tips for resourcefully recording in a quiet library (go the Ying Yang Twins route).

Pink Sweats, Yung Baby Tate, and Jucee Froot are hilarious together The FADER 2020-06-17 | Quarantine may be getting in the way of bringing unsuspecting artists together IRL to go back and forth on whatever questions we throw at them, but that doesn't mean we can't have them do that digitally. That's exactly what happened when Memphis rapper #JuceeFroot, Atlanta renaissance woman #YungBabyTate, and Philly crooner #PinkSweats joined us via video call for our newest installment of Would You Rather. On this episode, the three artists — all of whom are featured on this season of Insecure's soundtrack — have quite a few hilarious takes. You'll find that Yung Baby Tate wants her own action figure that it's equally cute and thick. If it was up to him, Pink Sweats would have a building dedicated to him in Philly with (of course) pink accents. And Jucee Froot would not date someone who still uses an Android phone.Subscribe now for more The FADER http://bit.ly/XPZVfGRead the FADER: http://www.thefader.comFollow the FADER on Twitter: twitter.com/thefaderLike the FADER on Facebook: http://on.fb.me/11JaNSJFollow the FADER on Instagram: instagram.com/thefader
Matty Healy of The 1975 is asking pop’s existential questions: The FADER Interview The FADER 2020-05-21 | This Friday, The 1975's fourth album Notes On A Conditional Form finally arrives in its entirety, following a rollout that began last summer. "There's a lot of talk about why the album got pushed back, and all these kind of things," Healy told us. "It's kind of irrelevant. The premise of my idea was always really to just continuously have a real time expression."Conditional is the operative word here. The album sways with a continuous ebb and flow, pushing the band to the most extreme ends of a spectrum they've been operating on for the better part of the last decade: it's simultaneously their most aggressive and dreamy work to date, tied together with iCloud ambience. To Healy, seemingly oppositional forces are the ones most worth pursuing: "I'm always trying to figure out who I am, a search for the definitive self. Why am I this walking set of contradictions when I believe that I'm actually this? Why am I not essentially me?"Speaking from lockdown in his home studio outside of London, Healy opened up on what making Notes On A Conditional Form revealed about himself, how he currently feels about America, and what needs to be saved during this time of reckoning, within the music industry and beyond.
