Jamaican Singer Lila Iké Announces Debut Album, Gets ‘Romantic' With Masicka
Since 2019, Lila Iké's releases like the single 'Where I'm Coming From,' EP The ExPerience, and feature on Samory I's 'Outside' have shown her talent and promise as an emerging reggae and dancehall star. Now, the Jamaican singer-songwriter is ready to step into the spotlight with her debut album, Treasure Self Love, due out August 22. The announcement is accompanied by a new video for her latest single, 'Romantic,' featuring another popular Jamaican upstart, dancehall star Masicka. Produced by Jamaica's Dunw3ll and British-Ghanaian hitmaker Juls, the upbeat track channels dancehall royalty Patra's 1994 classic 'Romantic Call.' The icon herself blesses the song with a fiery, personalized intro and conclusion for Iké, too. 'Big up Patra for coming on board as well, that was a full circle moment,' Iké said in a statement. ''Romantic' is my way of paying homage to dancehall and, of course, the queens who made space for us — women like Patra, who taught us how to be bold, sensual, and unapologetic. I wanted to tap into that energy, which is very me anyways.'

Is It Enough? Iké has previously released the singles 'He Loves Us Both' ft. H.E.R., 'Fry Plantain' ft. Joey Bada$$ and 'Too Late to Lie,' which will all be featured on Treasure Self Love. Last year, on 'He Loves Us Both,' Iké told Rolling Stone, 'I remember working on this song on my guitar and thinking it needs a feature with a really dope female artist as it reminded me of 'The Boy Is Mine' collaboration…The first time I played this song for [H.E.R.], she immediately got in the booth and so effortlessly made it into the masterpiece it is today.' In 2022, marking the 60th anniversary of Jamaican independence, Rolling Stone recognized Iké's 'Where I'm Coming From' as one of the songs that represent the country's musical evolution.

Dub Poet Legend Linton Kwesi Johnson Returns to Stage and Screen
The roots of hip-hop run deep, and among the deepest branches remains Linton Kwesi Johnson, the Jamaican-born, British-raised poet, writer, and performer often hailed as the father of dub poetry. On his groundbreaking dub records of the Seventies and Eighties, Johnson, talk-singing in Jamaican patois, channeled the racism he encountered growing up in England into searing takedowns of the system and the alienation felt by Black British youth. In the last few decades, Johnson has spent more time as a writer and activist, but this fall, he'll return to the stage for the first time in almost two decades, in conjunction with the restoration of a rarely seen documentary on his life. First released in 1979, Dread Beat an Blood, directed by Italian filmmaker Franco Rosso, followed Johnson into the recording studio and onto the streets of Brixton. For added context, his spoken-word performances were juxtaposed alongside footage of a clash between police and Caribbean youth at the 1976 Notting Hill Carnival. Although it was shown in the U.S. in the early Eighties, Dread Beat an Blood has rarely been seen in theaters since. But on Sept. 20, a restored print of the film will receive its North American premiere at the Brooklyn Academy of Music, after which Johnson will perform in what's called his first theater show in almost 20 years. More from Rolling Stone How Bay Swag Turned His Pain Into a Debut That's Both Fun and Vulnerable Jamaican Singer Lila Iké Announces Debut Album, Gets 'Romantic' With Masicka Lizzo on Her Surprise Rap Mixtape: 'I Feel Like a Brand-New Bitch' As a Jamaican immigrant in Britain in the Sixties and Seventies, Johnson dealt with the racial oppression around him by joining the Youth League of the British Black Panthers. During his days as a sociology student, he began writing poetry, eventually enlisting a drumming collective to accompany him. Johnson also took inspiration from DJs who spoke over reggae rhythms; the term 'dub poetry' started with him and helped pave the way for the art of hip-hop. Dread Beat an Blood took its title from a 1975 poem by Johnson and also an album he and reggae musician and producer Dennis Bovell made in 1979, credited at the time to Poet and the Roots. On that and subsequent albums like Forces of Victory, Bass Culture, and Making History, Johnson, who was already a published poet, established himself as an especially militant chronicler of the alienation of Black British youth. As he sang-talked in 'Sonny's Lettah (Anti-Sus Poem)' from Forces of Victory: 'Jim start to wriggle/The police start to giggle/Mama, make I tell you what dem do to Jim/Dem thump him in him belly, an' it turn to jelly.' As Johnson told the Guardian in 2020, 'I was trying to find a bridge between standard English and spoken Jamaican. A lot of poetry of the time sounded like Caribbeans trying to sound American, a bit like those Mick Jagger songs where he's trying to sing like he's from the deep South. For me, what was important was authenticity of voice. I didn't want to emulate anyone else. I wanted it to sound like me.' That reputation for incendiary politics impacted on Rosso's film. Initially funded by the British Arts council, Dread Beat an Blood ran into controversy as soon as it was finished: The film was considered so provocative that the BBC canceled a scheduled broadcast of it. Nonetheless, Johnson's music career briefly blossomed, as he opened for Public Image Ltd. and Ian Dury and the Blockheads. After briefly retiring from performing in the mid-Eighties, Johnson returned to making records in the early Nineties and has since continued his life as a noted writer and activist. His 2002 poetry anthology, Mi Revalueshanary Fren: Selected Poems, made him the only Black poet to be part of Penguin Books' Modern Classics series at the time. His most recent book, Time Come: Selected Prose, was published in 2023. Asked about the power of poetry to combat injustice in 2022, Johnson said, 'It is not a substitute for concrete political action and going on the picket line. I've been a political activist since my late teens, from the Black Panther Movement to the Black Parents Movement, the Race Today Collective, and the New Cross Massacre Action Committee. All our struggles have a cultural dimension, but it's not a substitute for taking to the streets when you need to make your voice heard.'

White House Reacts After South Park Slams Donald Trump
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. The White House has responded after Wednesday night's South Park premiere dedicated the entire episode to attacking President Donald Trump. Trump White House spokesperson Taylor Rogers told Rolling Stone on Thursday morning, "The Left's hypocrisy truly has no end — for years they have come after South Park for what they labeled as 'offense' [sic] content, but suddenly they are praising the show. "Just like the creators of South Park, the Left has no authentic or original content, which is why their popularity continues to hit record lows. This show hasn't been relevant for over 20 years and is hanging on by a thread with uninspired ideas in a desperate attempt for attention. President Trump has delivered on more promises in just six months than any other president in our country's history — and no fourth-rate show can derail President Trump's hot streak." South Park drops its first $30M episode and it's absolute chaos 😂🔥 — lordoflolz (@lordoflolz1) July 24, 2025 This is a breaking news story. Updates to follow.
