Arguably one of the greatest MC's in the Hip-Hop game, Rakim is back with new music! "King's Paradise” is the title of his first record in nearly a decade, and you'll find the song on the soundtrack to Netflix’s "Luke Cage: Season 2.” Catch him perform it live on NPR’s always excellent Tiny Desk series, along with some of classics!

Swedish EDM act NOTD (it’s pronounced “noted”) and up and coming artist Bea Miller are hoping they’ve released the song of the summer, and sat down on TRL recently to talk about how the track came about. They also took on the real life circumstance that led Bea to write the song.

TRL wasn’t the only stop for Bea in NYC this week – she also performed at youth pride.

Do you think Bea Miller and NOTD can make it to the top of the charts this summer? Listen, heart and share the song on Slacker Radio to help boost it onto the Slacker Top 40!

You'll get the backstories on some of your favorite songs while they hit up Penny Lane, the hair salon where Paul and John Lennon used to hang out and Paul's childhood home.

Ps - Owning Paul McCartney's childhood home must be a blessing and a curse...

"HOLD ON PAUL, GIVE ME ONE MINUTE." *shoves dirty glasses in the fridge, smells armpits, sprays perfume, fixes frazzled hair*

According to Consequence Of Sound, McCartney will release his first studio album in five years on September 7th. Egypt Station, is named after one of his own paintings.

ACM’s charity arm, Lifting Lives, has a music camp every year, and it’s probably the coolest camp you could ever dream of going to. This year, 30 campers ranging from 16 to 50 years old, all with a developmental disability called Williams Syndrome, got to visit Nashville for this once-in-a-lifetime experience. During the campers week-long stay, they received music education and performance experience, all while the Vanderbilt Kennedy Center was able to study this unique disability.

The program started with a writing session, where campers wrote a song called “One Voice” with Kip Moore and hit songwriters Ross Copperman (“Drunk On Your Love,” “If I Told You,” “American Country Love Song,”) and Jon Nite (“We Were Us,” “Tip It On Back,” “Whatever She’s Got”). They took that to the studio, where Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott helped them record it and answered their questions about the music business. And, as if that wasn’t cool enough, they took their new song to the Grand Ole Opry, where they got to perform it with Craig Morgan.

Other activities included karaoke with Brandon Lay, visiting Seacrest Studios with Cassadee Pope, and meeting and/or greeting with Danielle Bradbery.  In my job, I get to do a lot of cool stuff, and even I’m envious of the week they had!

Today, marks one year since we lost hip hop legend Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Another pioneer out the 90's no longer with us. Let’s think fondly of him with this clip from This Is How Do It, and may he rest in peace.
