Rap legends Ghostface Killah and Nas collaborated on “Scar Tissue,” a single from the Wu-Tang rapper’s upcoming Set The Tone album. The T The Human-produced track showcases the two New York rap stalwarts rhyming back-to-back over a Far East-flavored sample. “Scar Tissue” is their first collaboration since 1995’s “Verbal Intercourse” on Raekwon’s Only Built 4 Cuban Linx. Some listeners may be disappointed by a homophobic slur Ghostface uses on the track, but “Scar Tissue” nonetheless primes his fanbase for Set The Tone, his 12th studio album. 

Set The Tone will be Ghost’s debut album on Mass Appeal Records, as he announced in a viral X post this week. “HOLD TIGHT THIS ALBUM HAS FIRE   SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE…. GUNS & ROSES,” he wrote. Set The Tone is his first solo studio album since 2019’s Ghostface Killahs, a 14-track project entirely produced by Danny Caiazzo. 

So far, there isn’t much information about Set The Tone, an album that’s coming after multiple announcements of other projects over the years. In 2021, Ghostface announced that he was working on Supreme Clientele 2, and that Kanye West and Mike Dean would be the executive producers. In January of 2023, it was revealed that he was planning to release two different versions of an album on the Stem Player and sell them for $240 and $360. The current status of both albums is unclear.

Rihanna Posts Documentary Proof She Is Recording Music

Rihanna, who has said she’s been working on her first new album in a decade, has now shared some cold, hard proof that she really is in the recording studio. The singer shared an 80-second Instagram Reel, “A Night in the Life,” featuring a late-night (early-morning) stop at the studio.

The video kicks off with her attending a meeting for her lingerie brand (the whole Reel is captioned “commercial break”), reviewing designs (some of which are blurred so you can’t steal them), autographing records, and getting the punch-drunk giggles at 1:30 in the morning.

Jeffrey Epstein Positioned Himself as a Cultural Savant. What Music Did He Really Listen To?

For decades, Jeffrey Epstein was considered an enigma. Often casually sporting blue jeans and mussed-up hair, the ultra-wealthy Manhattan financier held himself with an air of smugness that transcended still-frame snapshots of him.

He was notoriously well-connected, keeping an expansive and eclectic circle of royals, world leaders, titans of business, renowned scientists, and thought leaders in his pocket. Epstein positioned himself as a cultural savant, holding court with director Woody Allen and his wife Soon-Yi Previn and discussing their thoughts on Swedish filmmaker Ingmar Bergman. When he regretfully declined an invitation to attend a symposium on improvising classical music, the organizer lamented they’d miss his “musical thinking.” His Amazon account paints him as a prolific and well-rounded reader, according to Bloomberg, which went through the dozens of titles he ordered, including books on philosophy, mathematics, investment, historical figures, and “middlebrow erotica.”
