Charlamagne Tha God Defends Ignoring Tyla’s Interview Requests, “I’m Here For The People”

Charlamagne Tha God

Earlier this month, singer Tyla’s interview on The Breakfast Club sparked controversy, largely directed at Charlamagne Tha God. During their chat, Charlamagne asked Tyla about her identity as a South African “coloured” person, a topic her publicist had explicitly deemed off-limits. This led to backlash from viewers who felt Tyla was avoiding discussing her Blackness, an accusation she later refuted in a public statement.

Peter Rosenberg was quick to criticize Charlamagne, accusing him of making the interview uncomfortable by deliberately asking questions Tyla had requested to avoid. Rosenberg’s claims weren’t unfounded; Charlamagne has now confirmed he disregarded the restrictions set by Tyla’s team.

Charlamagne revealed that Tyla’s team had asked him to steer clear of questions about her connection to Kai Cenat, her absence from Chris Brown’s tour, a recent injury, comparisons to other artists, her dating life, and her racial identity. “I said to them, ‘No,’” Charlamagne stated, adding that it was up to Tyla’s team to either prepare her for these topics or cancel the interview.

“I’m not a d*ck sucker for record labels,” Charlamagne asserted. “I have a job to do, and my job is for the people.”

What are your thoughts on Charlamagne Tha God’s approach to Tyla’s interview? Was he justified in ignoring her requests, or did he cross a line? Share your opinions in the comments and stay tuned to Honk Magazine for more updates.

Mamas Gun and Brian Jackson shines light on the truth on latest release “DIG!”

Mamas Gun

Mamas Gun makes a strong comeback with their new single “DIG!.” The track sounds more like a strong statement of intent than just a release. The UK band is known for its smooth blend of blue-eyed soul and traditional black music. They show once again that they can make music that sounds both thoughtful and very new, while still being real, emotional, and sophisticated.

“DIG!” was recorded directly onto analogue tape, and every note has warmth, grit, and soul. The production choice gives the music a rich, natural sound that complements the band’s unique groove. It is a piece of music that makes people slow down, really listen, and experience it rather than hear it.

Adding famous collaborator Brian Jackson, whose vocals, keyboard, and flute give the song a timeless elegance, adds even more depth and magic. Jackson is known for working with artists such as Stevie Wonder, Gil Scott-Heron, Roy Ayers, and Earth, Wind & Fire. His addition makes the song something truly special. His reunion with Andy Platts, the lead singer of Mamas Gun, almost twenty years after they first worked together creatively in New York, gives “DIG!” a very personal touch that can be felt throughout. “DIG!” sets a strong mood based on connection, art, and essence. Mamas Gun not only goes back to their roots but also makes them stronger. This song is heartfelt, timeless, and completely captivating.

Bromsen crafts a suspension between attachment and release in new single “Concendrain”

Bromsen

Bromsen’s latest release, “Concendrain,” is very immersive and lives in the space between control and disintegration. The song smoothly shifts from focused to tired, from connected to free, and captures a complex emotional balance that is both personal and universal.

“Concendrain” starts slowly and carefully, the structure has layers that change over time, so each part can come out on its own without any stress or hurry. As time goes on, electronic textures begin to emerge, giving the music a mood that eventually turns into rock-infused energy. These different sounds don’t clash, they work together to create a track that is alive, fluid, and always changing.

The guitar, voice, and rhythm should all work together on the song. These parts don’t compete for attention; instead, they work together to make a smooth flow that pulls the listener into the song’s emotional depth. The arrangement features vocals that complement complex guitar lines and a steady beat that keeps everything in line.

“Concendrain” is really interesting because it has two sides. The track is about the fight in your head between giving up and pushing through, and between staying focused and giving in to tiredness. Bromsen and Reatsch work together to make something that looks natural and well-made. “Concendrain” doesn’t try to be cool or follow trends. Instead, it gives you a slow experience that you should really pay attention to. “Concendrain” is a powerful and thought-provoking work that sticks with you long after the last note has faded away. It stands out because its structure changes, its atmosphere is rich, and its emotions are strong.
