MUSIC

• System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian will release his 10th album next month.
• We play the song, ‘It was a Good Day’ from 1993, every Friday morning, from Ice Cube on this show. And there is a lyric in that song: Goodyear Blimp would flash "Ice Cube's A Pimp." And over the weekend, that was a reality for the rap star. Ice Cube was up in a Goodyear Blimp, and they flashed that he is in fact, a pimp on the side. https://allhiphop.com/news/ice-cube-got-his-goodyear-blimp-moment-and-it-was-legendary/
