Cory Driscoll Finally Released the Much-Anticipated Album, “Eureka Springs.”

Jacksonville recording artist Cory Driscoll’s conceptual album titled “Eureka Springs” is out now. In this nine-track album, Driscoll demonstrates the story of a father’s journey to the heart of America in search of redemption and understanding. The release of “Eureka Springs” follows his 2018 EP “Tropical Depression,” which will be marked with the video premiere of the album’s highlight track, “Ahead Of My Heels,” on March 25th, 2022. Cory was looking for a creative outlet during quarantine, so he collaborated with nine of his musician mates from all around the United States to create the full-length project. All of the musicians were in different locations due to the COVID-19 restrictions. They all recorded individual tracks, which were then assembled piece by piece using file-sharing technology. Each song on the album was built differently depending on input from the band members, resulting in a diverse range of sounds.

“Eureka Springs” begins in a tropical atmosphere and gradually progresses westward toward a more delta-influenced sound and eventually onto the mountain range, where it becomes a blend of modern country-folk psychedelia and other influences. Eureka Springs is named after the Arkansas town that sits immediately on top of a naturally occurring water source that is abundant in minerals. It combines unique sounds throughout, from the tropical beginning “Ahead of My Heels” to the ethereal title track, giving audiences the impression they’ve just traveled from coast to coast. The album concludes with the menacingly melancholic “Anonymous Water.” Long Jump Records will release a limited edition of 300 pressed vinyl records in April, with all proceeds going to charity. Speaking about his latest album and its name, Cory said, “The history of the land made me feel extremely connected to the place and the mythological character of the life-giving spring… it’s replete with poetic language.” “We set out to tour the country from coast to coast and from the heartland of the United States through the flow of the record from song to song,” Cory explains. “That was the thread that ran through the entire composition process.”

Cory Driscoll is a talented singer-songwriter who has been writing music for almost twenty years and has received numerous awards. His earliest recordings were a collection of folk songs on tapes. During his time in Tallahassee, Florida, he established the post-punk band Curious Animals, which was active from 2008 to 2011. He then formed the post-rock band Young Adult, which was active from 2012 to 2016. In 2018, Cory published his debut self-titled EP, “Tropical Depression,” which was influenced by the story of a family that formed and then disintegrated during a vacation that rained out. Classic artists such as The Beatles, Talking Heads, The Rolling Stones, Paul Simon, and Neil Young serve as sources of influence for Cory’s music.

“Eureka Springs” is now available on all major streaming platforms, including Spotify. Visit Cory’s Instagram account to find out more about his future projects and activities.

eek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.

Lil Durk Turns to Malcolm X as Bond Hearing Looms

Lil Durk is facing another key moment in his ongoing legal battles, and a recent social media post shows the Chicago rapper is focused on endurance as his next court date approaches.

On Saturday (September 19), Durk posted an image of Malcolm X on his Instagram Story with a motivational message about the power of a person’s words and lasting purpose. DJ Akademiks shared the message on Instagram. The post references the civil rights activist’s legacy, but the wording does not appear to be an actual quote from Malcolm X.

Durk has financed and organized multiple violent episodes through his OTF collective. His legal team is expected to seek his release at a hearing later this month. He has denied the charges. Prosecutors are expected to oppose bond, setting up another legal skirmish between the two sides.

The hearing also comes after Durk’s recent acquittal in his murder-for-hire case. He has been in custody since his arrest in October 2024, and the court has denied him bond throughout the murder-for-hire trial process. His acquittal could affect the separate VICAR (Violent Crimes in the Aid of Racketeering) case, but the upcoming November hearing remains fluid.

The overall Lil Durk case has been a lot of talk online, as fans have reacted to the allegations, the media coverage, and the ongoing loyalty-versus-so-called-snitching debates. The case has already ignited a lot of chatter outside the courtroom even as the legal process plays out.

For now, Durk’s latest post offers an insight into the message he is choosing to put out publicly: resilience, purpose, and the idea that a message can continue beyond the person delivering it. His bond hearing is coming up, so the next phase of the case will unfold, focusing on what both his defense team and prosecutors will present.
