Saweetie made her SNL debut last night (November 20) – watch her perform new single ‘Icy Chain’ and a medley of ‘Tap In’ and ‘Best Friend’ below.

The rapper released her new track ‘Icy Chain’ on Friday (November 19) ahead of her first performance on the legendary late-night show.

During the Simu Liu-hosted episode, Saweetie first played a medley of her Doja Cat collaboration ‘Best Friend’ and 2020 single ‘Tap In’. For the pair of tracks, she performed a choreographed routine, flanked by two dancers.

Saweetie then gave a live debut to ‘Icy Chain’, in a performance that saw her play in front of huge light-up letters spelling ‘I C Y’.

Watch the pair of performances below:

New track ‘Icy Chain’ is produced by Dr. Luke, Rocco Did It Again!, and Lil Aaron. The track marks the third collaboration between Saweetie and Dr. Luke after ‘Best Friend’ and ‘Tap In’. The producer has an ongoing legal battle with Kesha, after she sued him in 2014, alleging emotional abuse and sexual assault.

The track is the latest from Saweetie as she continues to prepare her long-awaited debut album ‘Pretty Bitch Music’.

Elsewhere on SNL, last week (November 13) saw Taylor Swift play her 10-minute version of ‘All Too Well’, a centrepiece of Swift’s new re-recorded version of 2012 album ‘Red’, which came out the day before the performance.

Later this year, Billie Eilish will return to the Saturday Night Live stage next month, being both the musical guest and making her debut as host on December 11.

SNL have also revealed the host and musical guest for the December 18 episode, with Paul Rudd and Charli XCX performing those roles respectively. Rudd’s appointment means he’s officially joined the ‘Five-Timers Club’, denoting those who have hosted an episode of the show at least five times.

Black Friday has changed a lot in recent years. And with COVID still looming over us, it’s hard to say whether or not we’ll see the rushes of people common years prior. But with vaccinations continuing to make progress and regulations further lightening up, we may see at least a couple lines — especially for many of this week’s upcoming releases.

Between the GRs, the next couple days have quite a few standouts worth paying attention to. First, on Wednesday, A Ma Maniere is bringing out their Air Jordan 1, following up the luxurious Air Jordan 3 with an equal abundance of luxury. BAPE is assisting adidas the same day, offering two STA-like takes riffs on the beloved Superstar. And after some Jordan 1 Mids and Dunks, Friday opens to a bunch more sneakers. Expect the Air Jordan 11 “Animal Instinct,” the Patta x Nike Air Max 1, and much, much more.

For a full list of what’s coming on Black Friday, before, and after, keep scrolling.

OutKast‘s Big Boi and Sleepy Brown have shared a brand new track called ‘Animalz’ – you can listen to it below.

READ MORE: Run The Jewels: “The world’s gonna reset and then we’re gonna burn that motherfucker down”

The song is the latest to be shared from the pair’s upcoming joint album ‘The Big Sleepover’, which is set to arrive on December 10. You can pre-order it here.

It was first teased in 2019 after the release of ‘Intentions’ featuring CeeLo Green. The pair shared another song in 2019, the trunk-rattling ‘Can’t Sleep’, followed earlier this year by the Killer Mike-assisted ‘Lower Case (No Cap)’, and ‘The Big Sleep Is Over’ featuring Kay-I.

Now, Big Boi and Sleepy Brown have dropped off another preview, the sensual ‘Animalz’, on which the dynamic duo discuss love, relationships and the birds and the bees.

You can watch the song’s Sloan-directed video below:

Big Boi’s last full-length solo release was his 2017 album, ‘Boomiverse’, while Sleepy Brown, a member of production trio Organized Noise, last released a solo record, ‘Mr. Brown’, back in 2006.

Last week, Big Boi revealed that he is holding on to a song he made with Kate Bush, and he’s described it as “a monster hit”.

Speaking to Mark Ronson on The FADER‘s Uncovered Podcast, the rapper said the collaboration came after he met the elusive singer in the UK in 2014, while he and André 3000 were on their OutKastreunion tour.

Meanwhile, OutKast released a 25th anniversary edition of their second studio album, ’ATLiens’, back in August, featuring previously unreleased instrumental versions of the tracks. The re-issue came less than a year after the hip-hop duo released a 20th anniversary bundle for their fourth album ‘Stankonia’, which features the singles ‘Ms. Jackson’ and ‘B.O.B’.

In June, Big Boi made The Dungeon – the house in which OutKast recorded many of their early hits – available to rent on Airbnb.

Touted as one of the best consumer innovations of the year by Time Magazine, the easy-entry Nike Go FlyEase is being offered up in more new colorways in an effort to get the shoes onto the feet of those who need it most. We all remember the initial launch of the Go FlyEase hitting the mainstream newswire thanks to exposure from the likes of Jimmy Fallon, but with bots/resellers grabbing hold of the shoes, the lack of access rightfully stirred up a conversation on Nike’s efforts in ensuring proper distribution of its products. That in itself will be a long process that requires a lot of resources on Nike’s end, with no logistically easy fix, but the least Nike can do is make more product.

Offering up new colorways certainly mends the issue a tad, and this looming release of the black/gum should hopefully ease the demand – even if just for a little bit. See the official images ahead and stay tuned for an arrival on Nike.com soon for $120.

The post The Nike Go Flyease Arrives In Black And Gum appeared first on Sneaker News.

Introduced back in March of this year was Nike Basketball’s Greater Than Series – a collection of hoops footwear designed with specific motions of athletes in mind. The GT Run, powered by React Foam and forefoot-focused Zoom, is for the in-game miler that goes baseline to baseline with ridiculous speed. The Zoom GT Cut (which we must confess is one of the best basketball sneakers we’ve put on in a minute) utilizes full-length Zoom and React, with tailored support for multi-directional cutting. The Zoom GT Jump is a Zoom-packed behemoth that will have high-flyers jumping out of arenas with ease. While Nike does create one-for-all footwear, the Greater Than series emphasizes the importance of the type of move.

Speaking specifically about the cushioning, get a load of this: the Zoom GT Jump features a full-length Zoom Strobel, and additional Zoom units at the fore-foot and Zoom. Any one of those apparatus’ would suffice, but this specifically stacked set-up is designed to encourage even jumpier jumps. The upper frame introduces a new JumpWire, which we presume provides the 360″ lockdown of Flywire. The Pebax Jump Frame provides a springy feel, similar to how the full-length plates in current-gen running shoes suggests a propulsive effect.

Zoom Air is simply synonymous with Nike’s basketball footwear at this point, so if you’re particularly adherent to the cushion, the GT Jump provides the volume and the zonal support that high-flyers will gravitate to. Earlier this year, Nike confirmed a drop in late 2021, so stay tuned for release details as these will be available on Nike.com soon. As for MSRP, don’t expect a pricepoint lower than the $175 for the GT Run, and don’t be surprised if this tech-heavy package arrives at around $200, which is the MSRP of the LeBron 19.

Pusha T has teamed up with LA-based musician Mako for a new track called ‘Misfit Toys’ – you can listen to it below.

READ MORE: Pusha T live: a ferocious but swift introduction to “the ‘Daytona’ experience”

The new collaboration – which is Pusha’s first as a lead artist since 2019 – is part of the soundtrack for Arcane, Netflix’s new series based on the League Of Legends video game.

Speaking on the making of the track, Mako said in a statement: “I remember the moment we connected and heard Pusha T’s first pass, everything felt like lift off. He came at it with such authenticity and passion and energy.

“After that first clip, I caught him using this word, ‘misfits,’ and it immediately clicked for us to lean into that type of ‘misfit toy’ energy that [Arcane characters] Ekko and the Firelights represent.”

In addition to Pusha T and Mako, the Arcane soundtrack, which was released yesterday (November 20), also features tracks by Imagine Dragons, Sting, Denzel Curry, Curtis Harding, Jazmine Sullivan and more.

You can listen to ‘Misfit Toys’ below:

‘Misfit Toys’ is Pusha T’s first track as a lead artist since releasing ‘Sociopath’, ‘Coming Home’, and ‘Puppets (Succession Remix)’ back in 2019. His most recent album is 2018’s ‘Daytona’, which was produced by Kanye West.

In August, he revealed that his fourth studio album was “coming soon”. Speaking on the red carpet at the re-opening event for JAY-Z‘s 40/40 Club in New York, Pusha told reporters that the follow-up to ‘Daytona’ will be arriving soon.

Earlier this year, he featured on Divine’s ‘Jungle Mantra’ as well as ‘Tell the Vision’ and ‘Top Shotta’, two songs from the Pop Smoke posthumous album ‘Faith’.

Meanwhile, Pusha T has said he’s been trying to write a children’s book for years, but no publishing house will take him on.

The rapper shared the news on Twitter after a fan told him his track ‘Keys Open Doors’, performed by his hip-hop duo Clipse, was being interpreted as “a non-double-entendre educational song” by his two-year-old. The term ‘keys’ is actually referring to cocaine.

Spotify has taken on a suggestion from Adele and changed its default setting, which shuffles album tracks in random order.

READ MORE: Adele – ‘30’ album review: dependable pop titan finally mixes things up

The streaming platform confirmed on Saturday (November 20) that it had agreed to Adele’s request, which the singer initially made so that her latest album ’30’ would be played in the order that it was curated.

“This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry!” Adele tweeted. “We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended,” she continued, before thanking the platform. “Anything for you,” Spotify tweeted in response.

— Adele (@Adele) November 21, 2021

’30’, the follow-up to 2015’s ’25’, arrived on November 19, having been previously previewed by the comeback single ‘Easy On Me’ as well as ‘Hold On’. Adele confirmed that the new material delves into the aftermath of her 2019 divorce from Simon Konecki, explaining that ’30’ was her most personal and “sensitive” album to date.

Adele’s request to remove the shuffle default means that listeners will hear ’30’ with the correct narrative flow. But the shuffle option is still visible when a user clicks to view an album track, meaning it’s still possible to play the songs in a random order.

In other news, Adele revealed that ‘I Drink Wine’ was originally much longer than the six-minute track that appears on ’30’. Speaking to Rolling Stone, she said: “[The label] was like, ‘Listen, everyone loves you, but no one’s playing a 15-minute song on radio.’”
