dichotomi – “STF 17”

Introducing Toronto-based alternative rap newcomer dichotomi with their brand new single titled ‘STF 17’. The soulful and infectious lo-fi rap track comes just in time to take over our summer playlists and is the lead single for dichotomi’s upcoming debut EP that is set for release later this year. ‘STF 17’ is the anticipated follow-up to last year’s fan-favourite ‘plush’, which was a massive radio hit with the likes of CBC Music in Toronto, and Wave Of The Bay in Florida, to mention a few.
Produced by fellow Toronto musician Frizzy Astro, ‘STF 17’ is a catchy melodic rap offering, which sees dichotomi – who wrote the song when they were sick during the pandemic and couldn’t be outside – in a very hopeful mood, as they imagine better times and fantasize about being able to enjoy summertime in Toronto once again. Over lush synth keys and sparse lo-fi instrumentation, dichotomi showcases their infectious flow, clever lyricism, and carefree energy, to great effect.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘STF 17’, dichotomi says, “It was the first pandemic winter, and I was really sick… I couldn’t go outside because the weather, and I had no energy or motivation to make life inside more enjoyable because of the mental and physical effects of the pandemic. At a real low point, I started fantasizing about summers in Toronto and told myself that ‘everything will be better in the summer’ – as soon as I said it aloud, I felt compelled to write a song on that theme.
The track quickly took a political lean as I began to ruminate on the social, political, and economic forces that forced me into such a fragile position in the first place. ‘STF 17’ is most definitely a critique of our capitalist society, but with the added goal of offering some levity — allowing us to hope for a more equitable future. Be critical, be angry, be sad, but don’t let the state of this world keep you from turning your face to the sun every chance you get, and tirelessly seek the tiniest moments of joy”.
Highly recommended if you like the sounds of Noname, Tierra Whack or Chance The Rapper, dichotomi is for listeners that like to discover new things every time you listen to a track – they are for fans of lyricism, authenticity and exploring new sounds. Born in Florida and now living in Toronto, dichotomi burst onto the scene in 2019 with resounding music, led by good vibes and wholesome themes that are intended to inspire hope and validate their listeners.

Lil Wayne & LeBron James Deliver Laughs in Hilarious Beats Pill Commercial

Beats by Dre is back in the spotlight with the return of its popular portable speaker, the Beats Pill, and they’ve enlisted fan favorites Lil Wayne and LeBron James to help make the announcement memorable. The updated Pill will hit stores on June 27, and it’s designed to be cooler, sound better, and, surprisingly, it’s more affordable than before. What better way to bring back a classic than with two superstars? The new commercial, The Predicament, is a funny take on a relatable moment in music. In the ad, LeBron confidently tries to recite a line from Lil Wayne’s hit song, A Milli, and he gets it right!
While this may seem simple, it’s a humorous twist in a world where people often mishear song lyrics. Watching LeBron take on a lighthearted role alongside Lil Wayne, who carries his signature coolness, makes for an entertaining combo. Their playful chemistry shows that music and sports can be fun, not just serious competitions. Lil Wayne’s charm adds a special touch, giving the commercial a vibe that feels more like a fun moment in pop culture rather than just another advertisement. Beyond the laughs, the ad also highlights the Beats Pill’s important place in music history.
For longtime fans, this comeback brings back good memories, while newcomers can learn why the Pill has been so popular. At a price of $149.99, $50 less than before, Beats by Dre is making sure this great speaker is accessible without sacrificing quality. By teaming up with two well-known figures who excel in different fields but have a huge influence, Beats is making a smart move. Lil Wayne’s strong connection to hip-hop and LeBron’s global recognition create the perfect mix to relaunch the Beats Pill. Plus, the humor in the ad keeps things fresh and relevant, showing that Beats knows its audience.

Don Lemon Takes Elon Musk To Court Over Alleged Unpaid Twitter Deal

In a surprising turn of events that sounds like something from a gripping drama, journalist Don Lemon is taking billionaire Elon Musk to court. What began as a promising partnership between them has now turned into a legal battle. Lemon claims that Musk didn’t keep his word on a multimillion-dollar agreement for creating content on Twitter. Lemon filed a lawsuit on August 1, saying that Musk promised to pay him $1.5 million a year for his work on Twitter. The former CNN anchor was expected to play a major role in Musk’s plans to transform the platform, but their collaboration fell apart quickly after a tense interview.
Shortly after, Musk canceled Lemon’s show after just one episode. Now, Lemon is looking for justice for what he believes is a broken promise. In his lawsuit, Lemon argues that Musk, eager to attract advertisers and boost Twitter’s falling revenue, assured him he would be compensated, including a share of the advertising income from his content. However, since there’s no written contract to support these claims, the case might come down to whether verbal agreements hold up in court and how strong Lemon’s evidence is. Still, he’s determined to make Musk accountable, seeing this as a breach of trust.
Musk hasn’t publicly commented on the lawsuit yet, but given his history of legal disputes, it’s clear he won’t back down easily. Known for his outspoken nature, this case could turn into a lengthy public drama. This situation also raises important questions about how business works in today’s social media landscape. As platforms like Twitter become major players in media, the lines between traditional journalism, independent content, and corporate influence are becoming less clear. This case might set an important example of how such partnerships should be formed and honored. All eyes are on the courtroom now as Lemon and Musk’s modern-day conflict unfolds.
