ASAP Rocky

ASAP Rocky might be gearing up to drop his highly anticipated album Don’t Be Dumb on August 30, but he’s facing a significant legal hurdle in the meantime. The rapper, who’s been accused of shooting at his former friend and collaborator ASAP Relli in 2021, has just had his motion to dismiss the case rejected by the court. Rocky, who’s pleaded not guilty to two counts of first-degree assault, now has a new trial date set for November 12.

In a recent update outside the courtroom, Rocky’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, confirmed that they’re prepared for trial and that Rocky is eager to put the legal drama behind him. “We always anticipated this case would go to trial,” Tacopina stated. “Rocky and his family are very eager to get this thing to trial. He’s doing great.”

Despite the ongoing legal issues, Rocky remains focused on his career and family. In a recent interview with Zane Lowe for New Music Daily, he revealed that his upcoming album will not feature any leaked tracks. “If it’s leaked, it is what it is,” Rocky said, hinting at some surprises for fans despite the leaks.

“Empatia” by Aurien & Jab Vix set the tone for an atmospheric new era

Aurien

“Empatia, the stunning electronic debut of Aurien, in collaboration with Jab Vix, is the start of a new creative universe under Aurien’s newly launched imprint Château Bonheur Musique. The track feels like a doorway into a curated emotional space, built from atmosphere, storytelling, and immersive sound design.

“Empatia” is founded upon a contemporary electronic aesthetics that favors texture. The production is sleek and considered, offering up soft rhythmic pulses within roomy layers that breathe. Working with Jab Vix gives texture and dynamics to Aurien’s perspective and sets the sound for the song. It’s more about feeling the music than looking for peaks of high energy. It builds slowly and invites you to sit in the mood.

A highlight is the “Elegant Mix,” which takes the original and gives it a more subdued, slicker makeover. It allows the heart of the composition to come through more intimately, and this duality reinforces the idea behind Château Bonheur Musique as environment, experience, and feeling. “Empatia” is a debut statement and manifesto for the immersive, emotionally intelligent electronic music that works as effortlessly as it does in shared spaces. It’s a thoughtful direction for Aurien, where sound is not just heard, but lived in.
