A rare 1990 N.W.A interview — taped just weeks after Ice Cube left the group.

Freshly restored by Sunset_Vinyl, the footage is clean and sharp — the best this moment has ever looked.

The world’s most dangerous group sits down in Europe to talk explicit lyrics, media backlash, and where they stood in the middle of the storm.

A striking snapshot of N.W.A. right before the Ruthless/Cube fallout went nuclear.

Check out the full interview on their YT channel. It’s a fascinating piece of hip-hop history.

Erykah Badu in the New York Times newsroom performing “Didn’t Cha Know.”
A portrait of neo-soul royalty gliding through a Dilla-produced gem from the Mama’s Gun era. She makes those funky, vocally sumptuous runs look effortless.

Big thanks to for capturing this moment (as always, check out Badu’s full performance on their YT — well worth the watch).
And salute to — forever the queen. 🫡

Caught this gracious exchange between Patti LaBelle & Kelly Rowland on Friday.
Moments like this remind you why grown folks’ music still hits different — legacy, love, and icons giving each other their flowers. 💐🫡

Brick City’s own Redman lights up the stage with this inspired, dynamic performance of “Da Goodness” and “Da Rockwilder”, from the Red Bull BC One World Final in Tokyo.

Salute to and DJ - y’all killed it with this dope medley. 🔥🫡 And if you appreciate breaking be sure to check out for a showcase of the best b-boys and b-girls in the world.

112‘s Slim And Mike perform “Sky’s the Limit“ on Shawn Stockman‘s podcast. This is a classy acoustic version of the classic Biggie track that evokes fond memories of that glorious music year in ‘97.

All thanks and credit to and for putting together this brilliant artistry. Be sure to check out the full performance and interview on Shawn’s IG or YT, which also includes a wonderful rendition of 112’s hit Cupid.

Front Porch is back with another electrifying live performance, this one from The LeVert Experience, a supergroup honoring the original LeVert group’s legacy and consisting of:

Marc Gordon: LeVert Founding Member
Joe Little: The Rude Boys
Dave Tolliver: Men at Large

I had to feature “Casanova” here, as it’s one of my favorites and I’ve been waiting for a nice clear copy 🔥 As always, check out the full set of classics on YT, including “Written All Over Your Face” ( I see you! 🫡)

Thank you .levert.experience and for this great set; y’all did the late, great Gerald and Sean proud 🫡

Magnificent live performance from Houston’s own Geto Boys performing “Mind Playing Tricks on Me”, from a 2014 Beats Music set. The stage presence, energy, and chemistry between Scarface, Willie D, and the late, great Bushwick Bill make it impossible not to rock along with . The live band and background singers only augment the excellence. 🔥

AND since Halloween falls on the weekend this year (Friday night counts, doesn’t it?) this track definitely is apropos for today’s Styles Report. Just please: don’t rob the little kids for bags. 🎃
