21 Savage & Metro Boomin Unveil Alternate Cover Art For “Savage Mode 2”

If you weren’t a fan of the Pen and Pixel-designed cover artwork for Savage Mode 2, which recalls some of the hottest mixtapes from the 90s and 00s, then 21 Savage and Metro Boomin are coming through with another cover that you might be more privy to.

With the album looking set for a dominant debut atop the Billboard 200, the pioneers behind Savage Mode 2 are looking to capitalize on the album’s success at every corner. That means merch, merch, and more merch. 

Savage and Boomin have been offering a wide selection of clothing and accessories, also stocking the website with physical copies of the album for the collectors who want to look back at the vinyl in a few years and remember how they felt when it initially dropped.

Savage Mode 2 is offered in a few different physical options. Now sold out, the original vinyl had the original Savage Mode 2 cover on it. A new product is officially available at the shop though, which will be a welcome surprise to fans of the first tape.

The second version of the vinyl release features a brand new cover that recalls the first Savage Mode, this time showing two daggers interlaced with blood spewing throughout.

Alongside the record, you can also cop a $15 t-shirt + album combo, which will surely be a fan favorite, as well as a photo book looking back on Savage and Boomin’s journey to this point.

Are you a fan of the alternate cover artwork or is the original more your style?

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.
