The Christmas season is a little over a month away, although some are already getting into the gift-giving holiday. That includes the LVRN record label, which announced on Tuesday that its members would join forces to release a Christmas album next week, before even Thanksgiving. The label is home to notable names like Summer Walker, 6lack, Boogie, and Shelley (formerly known as DRAM). Entitled Home For The Holidays, the nine-track project is set to release on November 16 and feature holiday renditions of “This Christmas,” “Chestnuts Roasting,” and more. There will also be guest appearances from Cruel Santino, OMB Bloodbath, Eli Derby, Young Rog, and BRS Kash.
LVRN made the announcement in an Instagram post that also revealed the project’s cover art, which shows cartoon versions of the label’s various members, putting up the decorations on a Christmas tree while others sit around and enjoy some conversation.
Home For The Holidays comes after two of its most-known members shared EPs earlier this year. Summer Walker made her impact in 2020 with her Life On Earth effort, which featured PartyNextDoor and No1-Noah. 6lack also shared an EP this year with his 6pc Hot release, which saw a guest appearance from Lil Baby.
Home For The Holidays is out 11/16 via LVRN/Interscope. Pre-order it here.
PartyNextDoor is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Kay Onishi drops dark synth-trap banger on latest release “30 SECOND RULING”
Kay Onishi is aggressive and unapologetic on “30 SECOND RULING,” a song powered by dark synth-trap production, striking piano melodies, and heavy female rap delivery. The track is built on the idea of a turning point that can change everything, pouring confrontation, sarcasm, and urgency into a powerful musical statement.
What makes “30 SECOND RULING” compelling is how its musical elements support its attitude. The low-end heaviness gives it weight, the percussion keeps the rhythm crisp, and the piano offers a melodic thread that slices through the darkness. Together, they give Kay Onishi room to deliver a performance that is both controlled and explosive.
Kay Onishi’s “30 SECOND RULING” blends dark production, stark musical contrasts, and unapologetic expression. The song captures the frustration of being judged in the heat of the moment and turns that tension into a statement of defiance.

Zoe celebrates Jamaican roots and belonging on latest release “Zoe Islander”
Zoe‘s latest release, “Zoe Islander,” celebrates the lasting connection between a person and the place they call home, and brings a strong sense of identity and belonging to it. The song portrays Jamaica as home, no matter where life takes you. That message provides an emotional foundation for the release, linking its pride to an experience anyone with a strong attachment to their roots can relate to.
The track’s catchy dance beat brings its welcoming spirit to life, giving the song an inviting melodic character. Its message also feels like an introduction to Zoe’s own point of view. The mention of Jamaica’s beautiful beaches adds another touch to that picture, helping to convey the affection and appreciation behind the song. Zoe is more than a place to celebrate; it’s a personal connection that holds meaning no matter where your journey takes you.
What makes “Zoe Islander” appealing is the combination of a warm message of home and identity with an upbeat dance feel. The song celebrates Jamaica, but it also asks us to understand the experience and perspective that informs Zoe’s relationship to the country. The tie to home need not weaken with distance. Zoe has a catchy rhythm and a sense of belonging, and it brings a release that celebrates roots, culture, and the places that stay with us.
