DJ Akademiks Fires Back at Charlamagne Tha God Over Drake Drama
DJ Akademiks recently defended himself after receiving playful jabs from Charlamagne Tha God and the crew at The Breakfast Club. The teasing came in response to Akademiks’s coverage of a legal issue involving rapper Drake and iHeartMedia, a big media company. The situation began when Drake and iHeartMedia announced that they had reached a friendly agreement regarding a legal petition Drake had filed. iHeartMedia claimed that they settled things without any payments and that the legal documents showed they were innocent. Drake’s team said they were happy with the outcome but didn’t add much more.
Charlamagne took a light hearted shot at Akademiks during a segment on The Breakfast Club. When Akademiks caught wind of this, he responded in a live stream, making it clear he wouldn’t let Charlamagne control the narrative. Akademiks pointed out that The Breakfast Club is owned by iHeartMedia, suggesting that there might be a conflict of interest in their comments. He also disagreed with the claim that Drake dropped his petition because there wasn’t much to it. He suggested that Drake was trying to uncover information that could show connections between iHeartMedia and Universal Music Group, another major player in the music industry.
One of the key points Akademiks made was about the involvement of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). He explained that the FCC is looking into iHeartMedia due to serious allegations regarding payola, which could have influenced how these events played out. While Drake’s petition focused on transparency from corporations, the FCC has the power to investigate much more thoroughly, which could change everything. It remains to be seen if Charlamagne will respond again or if things will cool off. Given their history, this exchange could be just beginning!

Lisa Boostani creates a mesmerizing tidal realm in “Ocean”
Lisa Boostani’s “Ocean” takes you deep into a sensory world where body, spirit, and myth come together, beyond the surface of genre. Boostani makes a soundscape that is both ethereal and deeply human by combining the broad essence of psychedelic pop with the strong appeal of alternative rock.
Her voice rises as if it is coming from deep within her, shaped by emotion rather than action. She intentionally channels the intangible, turning weakness into strength rather than a source of pain, and “Ocean” tells people to get involved in this inner world, not just watch it. This release is an integral part of her first EP, “One,” which will come out in March 2026 and is based on love, sensuality, and unity.
If “Ocean” is any indication, the EP will show sensuality not as something pretty, but as a kind of spiritual intelligence, a way to know yourself by connecting with others. The song’s textures and structure have an aquatic quality, moving between clarity and delirium, rhythm and freedom. Its emotional focus is on immersion instead of resolution.
The striking quality of “Ocean” is the blend of the mystical worlds. Boostani understands that strength often shows up as gentleness and that deep feelings are better expressed through frequencies than words. She wants people to see consciousness as immediacy, sensation as truth, and openness as an undeniable strength.

NOAH. captures the unspoken signals in enchanting R&B track “That’s Bless”
“That’s Bless” captures the unspoken late-night message, the smile that was exchanged from afar, and the feeling you sense but are afraid to say. NOAH. offers a song with a smoky R&B feel and lyrics that capture unspoken tension, firmly in the realm of emotional ambiguity, where connection is clear but not defined.
This piece concerns the subtle discomfort of mixed signals and quiet longings, when looks say more than words ever could. NOAH. handles the theme with restraint, letting the chemistry simmer rather than explode. NOAH.’s delivery shows a confident gentleness, recognizing that some feelings don’t need strict definitions to be real.
In “That’s Bless,” he captures the essence of connection and the compelling allure that endures, even when both parties pretend it is not there. The composition is based on real-life events, and it acknowledges that specific attachments endure in the heart long after one has persuaded oneself of having progressed.
“That’s Bless” is at the crossroads of closeness and distance, clarity and confusion. The song doesn’t resolve the tension it talks about, and that’s what makes it so powerful. It sums up the connection we say we don’t want but keep coming back to in memory, rhythm, and pulse.
