Jim Legxacy Announces New Mixtape Black British Music
Press Release – The Label Generational talent Jim Legxacy announces the release of his long-awaited new mixtape, black british music (2025) on July 18th via XL Recordings.A rapper with intensity, a vocalist with passion and a producer who harnesses nostalgia to command the future, the project is poised to earn era-defining significance. Critical to UK music in 2025, Jim's prolific output forever tells an important story. Always ahead of the game, his songwriting holds a mirror up to the Black British experience in which himself and his peers are reflected. He stands proudly but humbly at the helm of a movement; a new generation of storytellers and pioneers carving a path out of the comfort of the underground, always pushing upwards. Creating space for complexity, sensitivity, and experimentation, black british music (2025) not only reshapes expectations of what UK music can sound like, but what it can stand for. The announcement succeeds his latest single ' stick ' which dropped alongside a video from Rohan Dil shot partly on a Blackberry, a warpspeed visual collage of Jim Legxacy's London through the lens of his coming of age. It was previewed on the since-mythologised livestream from Plaqueboymax which featured fellow underground heavyweights YT, Fimiguerrero and Len. He kicked off the mixtape with one of his most resonant tracks to date, ' father ', before ramping up the anticipation for black british music (2025) by doing his first ever video chat on Kids Take Over. 2024 saw Jim release ' nothings changed (!) ' – a heartfelt tribute to his sister's life and legacy before he played his first ever show at The Albany in Deptford to a sold out, mesmerised crowd. Later that year he released ' aggressive ' as the first real taster of the black british music (2025) sound, and his first release on XL Recordings. Music has always formed part of Jim's identity. His ever evolving, kaleidoscopic sound draws influence from all genres, distinctly RnB, soul, pop, grime, midwest emo, afro beats and alternative. Jim's artistic journey properly began in 2018, dropping multiple singles and two longer form projects (Dynasty Program: A Metrical Composition Inspired by the Nights Spent as The Raiider; and Citadel) which displayed his artistic growth, versatility, and vulnerability, all whilst battling homelessness. 2023 saw him release his latest mixtape homeless n*gga pop music to widespread critical acclaim. Jim has already garnered support and cosigns from fellow artists including Dave, Stormzy, Central Cee, Headie One, Skepta, Loski, Jack Harlow and recently Fred again...

FaZe Clan July 4th party recap: All viral controversies, streamer drama, comebacks, beefs, and more!
(Image via @FaZeAdaptLive/YouTube) Every July 4th brings fireworks, but this year, FaZe Clan's explosive Independence Day party in LA set the internet on fire in more ways than one. What started as a mega gathering of streamers, creators, and online icons quickly turned into a headline-worthy spectacle filled with viral moments, unexpected reunions, confrontations, and drama. Here's a breakdown of everything that had the internet talking. 1. A Star-Studded Chaos Streamed Live From Twitch to Twitter, FaZe's July 4th bash dominated timelines. Not only did top-tier creators like Extra Emily, Plaqueboymax, and Sakura Shymko make appearances, but streamers from OTK, OTV, and even YouTube influencers joined the madness. With multiple livestreams running simultaneously and cameras everywhere, the party became one big unfiltered reality show — broadcast straight to the internet. 2. 'Jakura' Kiss Breaks the Internet Nothing got fans more excited than a surprise 'Jakura' moment, the now-fan-favorite duo Jason (Jasontheween) and Sakura Shymko. During a casual photo op, Sakura gave Jason a kiss on the cheek, sending him into an adorable meltdown on stream. 'Oh my God… ain't no way bruh,' Jason exclaimed as he blushed and walked off-camera. The moment went instantly viral, with fans fueling relationship rumors and clipping the interaction from every angle. "Jakura" just became the ship of the season. 3. NotQuiteLikeDub vs. FaZe Security One of the more awkward moments of the night involved streamer NotQuiteLikeDub. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo While others freely streamed the party, Dub was told by FaZe security to stop broadcasting or leave. 'If I can't stream it, I can't be here,' he said before walking out. Plaqueboymax Returns To Stream 4. Plaqueboymax's Unexpected Return After a month-long hiatus from streaming, FaZe's own Plaqueboymax made a surprise appearance that had fans buzzing. Though he didn't go live himself, Max popped up in multiple livestreams, most notably in an emotional moment with fellow FaZe member Lacy. 'We gon' take a shot, I swear to God…' Max said as he warmed up to the party vibe. Extra Emily also fangirled during her interaction with Max, making it one of the most rewatched clips of the night. 5. Wendy Ortiz Caught in Late-Night Altercation As night fell, the mood shifted. Streamer Wendy Ortiz was caught on camera in a heated altercation outside the FaZe house. 'Get the fk out of here, bch, you're f**king weird!' she shouted at another attendee. Security intervened quickly, separating Wendy and the other woman before things escalated further. Wendy's sister Evelyn also joined in, adding fuel to the fire. Fortunately, things were defused before any real damage was done — but not before clips of the incident blew up online. 6. Extra Emily and Stable Ronaldo's Tense-but-Playful Face-Off In a semi-spicy, mostly-funny exchange, Extra Emily confronted Stable Ronaldo poolside, demanding compensation for 'five hate threads.' He replied with 'How about five apologies?' and actually delivered. What could've been a tense feud turned into a quirky apology segment, reminding everyone: streamers are way too online — even at parties. Viral Clips Take Over Twitch and TikTok By the end of the night, FaZe's party had taken over the internet. At one point, 4 of the top 8 most-viewed Twitch clips in 24 hours came directly from the party. TikTok wasn't far behind — short clips of Jason and Sakura, Max's cameos, and Wendy's altercation racked up millions of views within hours. Stay tuned. Because if this is how FaZe celebrates freedom, the next party might just break the internet all over again. Game On Season 1 continues with Mirabai Chanu's inspiring story. Watch Episode 2 here.

FaZe Adapt and Lacy suggest Plaqueboymax might not start streaming again until Halloween
(Image via @FaZeAdapt & @plaqueboymax/X) Plaqueboymax's fans hoping for a July comeback might want to hold off on the celebrations. While fans were expecting a July return, fresh comments from FaZe Adapt and Lacy suggest the Twitch star might be on an extended break, with Halloween now being floated as a more likely comeback date. Here's everything we know so far about his mysterious streaming hiatus. Fan Speculation Triggered by July 4th Buzz Plaqueboymax's name started trending again when FaZe Clan's massive Fourth of July party was announced, with fans spotting him on the guest list. Naturally, viewers assumed this would be his soft return to livestreaming after going dark since June 3. The timing looked perfect. The party, the buzz, the attention—it all seemed to align for a surprise comeback. But then came the twist. Adapt and Lacy Say: 'Not Anytime Soon' During a stream on July 3, FaZe Adapt reacted to another creator's claim that Plaqueboymax was returning in August. Adapt's response? Complete surprise. 'I thought it was Halloween. I thought he was coming back Halloween, he said, no?' Lacy chimed in almost instantly, backing Adapt's statement. According to him, late October had always been the plan, with Halloween week being floated as the real target for Plaqueboymax's return. 'Yeah, it was for when... it was super late October. Like, Halloween week.' Adapt even added that Max had been planning something special for Halloween, hinting at a themed stream or creative project. Stable Ronaldo Thinks It's August, But That's Unconfirmed The Halloween claim directly contradicts what fellow FaZe creator Stable Ronaldo said in his own July 3 livestream. According to Ronaldo, Plaqueboymax's return is scheduled for August 19. But the twist? Even Ronaldo didn't sound 100% sure, framing it as a 'pretty sure' situation rather than confirmed info. So right now, it's Adapt and Lacy versus Ronaldo, and nobody seems to have a definitive answer. So, What's Actually Going On with Plaqueboymax? Plaqueboymax has been radio silent since his last stream on June 3, with no personal confirmation of any return date. No tweets. No Instagram posts. Nothing. That's made the Twitch community even more eager to dig for clues, often turning to other FaZe members for leaks, hints, or even accidental reveals. While some fans are still hoping for a shock appearance at the Fourth of July bash, Adapt and Lacy's recent remarks have shifted expectations. Halloween is now the new unofficial target. The mystery around Plaqueboymax's return has only deepened. With FaZe Adapt and Lacy pushing the Halloween timeline, and Stable Ronaldo suggesting an earlier August comeback, fans are left guessing and watching every stream for clues.

Fred Again, Skepta, Plaqueboymax Debuted a New Song on Twitch
DJ-producer Fred again.., streamer-producer Plaqueboymax, and rapper Skepta have premiered their collaborative track 'Victory Lap.' The song, which was originally crafted on Twitch, was officially released on Fred Again's channel today. From a room in New York City, Fred played the catchy lyrics: 'Shorty get freelance, now she a free thot.' Doechii is heard rapping the chorus on the track, before Skepta comes onscreen to rap his verse with a microphone. More from Rolling Stone Meet AMP, the Brat Pack of the Streamer Era The Botez Sisters Are Already Chess Icons. Now They're Ready to Go Beyond the Board How Pokimane and Fuslie Made Themselves the Antidote to Online Negativity 'The first thing he said to me was there's no reloads,' joked Skepta, before adding, 'New York City. I could see the Statue of Liberty just over there.' Fred then mixed in another song as Skepta started rapping the lyrics to a different song, before mixing in 'Victory Lap' once again. 'This one is disgusting. Absolutely dirty!' declared Skepta. Along with the song, the trio announced a pop-up rave at the Brooklyn Paramount later tonight, which will also be livestreamed on Fred's Twitch channel. The pair then joked about hosting a mini meditation as relaxing music started to play. 'We absolutely love you, New York,' Fred said. 'Best place in the world.' This is just the latest Twitch-related spectacle for Plaqueboymax, the New Jersey streamer who has become a key cultural tastemaker for Gen Z. When Rolling Stone caught up with him in April, he had been in London for a weeklong stream that included an In The Booth session with Skepta. 'When Skepta came on, he's like, 'Oh, what's this? Why is it moving so fast?'' Max said. Tonight's rave comes nearly a year after Fred's first stadium show, which he talked to Rolling Stone about. He and his team were intent on bringing an intimate feel to a large space, which made the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum the right choice for him. 'I think the challenge to me at the Coliseum was I really wanted to find ways that I could connect as much as possible to people in this vast space,' Fred told music writer Jeff Ihaza last year. 'Which is why we did that thing — Lucy and I call it the moat — we built this thing all the way around that I could walk along. That meant I could walk to the different stages.'
