Young Thug, Gunna, & Nav Show Wheezy Some Birthday Love
When it comes to the sounds we’ve grown accustomed to hearing in the contemporary hip-hop landscape, it’s likely that Wheezy is responsible for many of them. At the very least indirectly, having influenced no shortage of aspiring producers through his groundbreaking work with Young Thug, Future, Lil Baby, Gunna, Meek Mill, and many more. And he’s not quite finished yet, with a few key projects still set to land before the year wraps up — namely the YSL compilation album Slime Language 2 and Emergency Tsunami, a collaboration project with Canadian folk hero Nav.

With today marking the Tennessee producer’s twenty-eighth birthday, his Emergency Tsunami collaborator took to Instagram to share some kindhearted birthday words. “Happy Wave day to the [GOAT][SCORPIO],” captions Nav, leaving us translating his emoji-speak. “EMERGENCY TSUNAMI COMING SOON.” Longtime collaborator Gunna also took to the Gram to offer up his own birthday wishes, praising everything they’ve helped build together since coming into the game. “Happy [SLIME] day to the Wave,” writes Wunna, alongside a slideshow of several pictures. “Love u twin. we built it from ground up !”
And of course, Young Thug also came through with some birthday cheer. “Happy bday my luv,” he captions. “We get the money !!” At this point, it’s fair to name Wheezy one of the game’s most influential producers, especially within the last few years. Look for him to continue to forge his path with the imminent release of Emergency Tsunami, which we can expect to see before the year concludes. Happy birthday Wheezy!

Snoop Dogg Wants To Pay Someone $10,000 A Month To Eat Ice Cream
Snoop Dogg has had a lot of job titles over the years, but “official ice cream taster” wasn’t one of them until now — and he’s hiring someone else to fill it. His company Dr. Bombay just opened applications for the role, and it pays $10,000 a month.
The gig is fully remote and open to anyone on the planet, which Snoop announced himself in a video that’s exactly as laid-back as you’d expect. “I love the paper, but not the paperwork,” he said, explaining that HR firm Deel is handling the logistics while he handles, presumably, the ice cream.
The actual job is less “sit around and eat pints all day” and more part-time cultural scout. Whoever gets it will track flavor and food trends around the world, report back on what people are eating and talking about, and work directly with Dr. Bombay’s in-house flavor lead to help shape what the brand does next. It’s a three-month contractor role, and Snoop’s team says they’re actively looking outside the usual resume pile — creators and non-traditional applicants welcome.
Dr. Bombay itself leans nostalgic, with flavors like Long Beach Fruit Cart, Sticky Caramel Apple Pie, and Peanut Butter Jelly Time already sitting on shelves at Walmart and moving through DoorDash and Instacart. Somewhere out there is one very lucky applicant about to get paid five figures a month to have opinions about ice cream, and honestly, good for them.

Ronan Furlong finds renewal in the sea with latest release “Splitting The Ash”
“Splitting The Ash” opens with a distinctly Celtic riff before Ronan Furlong moves into an energetic song influenced by ideas of healing, rebirth, and spiritual renewal. The title and subject of the song are based on an ancient Irish ritual in which an ash tree is split open, giving the song a strong link to tradition, while its message is firmly rooted in the present: finding strength, renewal, and inspiration when life puts barriers in your way.
The sea is central to the track’s feeling, a symbol of challenge and regeneration. Furlong links his power to the resilience that can develop from exceeding physical boundaries. The song’s backstory lends that notion further weight, penned during a swim in the Irish Sea in January. The music’s context of creation gives it a particularly direct relationship with endurance and the willingness to push beyond discomfort.
“Splitting The Ash” ultimately feels life-affirming but never loses sight of struggle. The Celtic opening of the song gives an immediate sense of place, while its focus on renewal keeps the message open and universal. Ronan Furlong uses an old image of healing to remind us that difficult experiences can also be a source of strength, inspiration, and a renewed connection to life.
