Lucki Is Sick Of The Leaks With New Single “Alicia Keys”

Lucki has the kind of fervent cult fan base that every artist dreams of.

Whether it’s because of his impeccable beat selection or improvisational style, he makes the music sound and feel easy even when it’s clearly not.

The drawback of having such a ride or die fan base, however, is their fervid thirst for leaks. Just ask Lil Uzi Vert or Playboi Carti.

Lucki is definitely not immune to this and opted instead to officially release the heavily bootlegged “Alicia Keys” himself.

The song was left on the cutting room floor during the making of his opus Freewave 3 and squarely places us back in that dark state of mind the Chicago rapper was exploring around that time.

Over a bleak beat from DJ Eway that sounds like it’s going backwards against Lucki’s aloof flow, he captures addiction in one of its individual moments.

It’s depressing but it’s also lit in the way that only Lucki can pull off.

Check out “Alicia Keys” below. Are you hoping Lucki decides to formally release more of his leaked songs?

Quotable Lyrics

She gone do that sh*t for free, for me
Hoe won’t miss the beat
I just turned a city girl into Alicia Keys
I make a saditty hoe act like she from the streets
I forgot in the fitting room I left a cup of lean
Shit ain’t cheap, but sheesh
I won’t get no sleep
Wonder if you think about me when you in my dreams

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream

Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.

The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.

The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.

Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”

Ronan Furlong

“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.

The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.

“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
