On the mid-season finale of Let Me Get My Headphones, the team welcomes Mississippi-born rapper and songwriter, Devmaccc into the All Artist Studio. With an ongoing solo tour, three world-building EPs, and an opening performance with west coast rapper, Westside Boogie, Dev discusses the surrealism and internal rewards encountered during life as an artist. Intimately inspired by his Southern roots and culture, the rapper refuses to shy away from his Mississippi heritage — using his homegrown influence as ammunition to vitalize a sound that is all his own, steadily embracing evolution. Leading with gratitude, a self-professed “Wolfpack", and an endeavor to use music as a catalyst for personal healing, the Jackson native readies himself for the start of a brand new expedition.

In a recent episode, Let Me Get My Headphones discusses the user patterns of streaming services Apple Music and Spotify and what they may have to say about a platform’s titan ability to reach the massive one billion stream mark. Artificial intelligence continues to make major headway with a scam involving the fraudulent sales of AI-generated Frank Ocean music on popular platform, Discord. 

Also in MelaNews, LMGMHP looks at the newest developments in TikTok’s continued focus on artist expansion, ranging from distribution deals like the ‘Artist Impact Program’, allowing business to use an artist’s music for campaigns within the app — to the launch of #NewMusic, TikTok’s new hub for frontline music releases. What The Flick reflects on the final two episodes of RapCaviar’s recently released Hulu docu-series; this time centering artists like Coi Leray and Fivio Foriegn, in a conversation on female beauty standards, the transformation of hip hop’s “video vixen”, and the contention arousing criminalization of rappers. 

In Pass The Aux, LMGMHP considers the decline in media literacy and the irony of the actual faces behind popular culture blogs today. The team also welcomes new music from artists like Victoria Monet, Amaarae, and more.
