Produced by Skrillex, the TDE staple shares, "After Skrillex first introduced me to BEAM, we got an Airbnb with Wallis and Lane and spent a few days creating. This was one of the first songs we did together. This song came from conversations BEAM and I were having about God, questioning the idea of 'walking by faith, not by sight.' Why not both? When BEAM and I showed Skrillex the song, he just hopped on my laptop and added the drums in my Ableton program… it took him like an hour."Listen: Spotify | Apple Musicwolfacejoeyy - "finsta/bia"wolfacejoeyy unveils his double single "finsta/bia." The Staten Island native croons about being lovesick over static drill beats, and releases the two-pack shortly after dropping Valentino in May.Listen: Spotify | Apple Musicmidwxst - "GUN SMOKE"midwxst continues his BACK IN ACTION 4.0 rollout with his latest single, "GUN SMOKE." He says of the upcoming mixtape, "It’s a perfect mixture of loud 808's and confident lyrics that pay homage to the car culture and street racing scene. As a kid, I was obsessed with cars - - from building them on ROBLOX, to playing The Need for Speed video games, until the sun came up - - this obsession helped fuel my creative journey for this project. Similar to the spirit of racing itself - always pushing forward - BACK IN ACTION 4.0 will definitely make you want to put your foot on the gas and never let up, which I don't plan to do any time soon."Listen: Spotify | Apple MusicChannel Tres - Head RushChannel Tres' long-awaited debut studio record Head Rush is here. He enlists an A-list group of guest features including Thundercat, Ty Dolla $ign, Teezo Touchdown, Ravyn Lenae, Toro Y Moi, Estelle and more. “Head Rush marks the transition from me being just a bedroom producer guy to fully becoming this Channel Tres character,” he tells Hypebeast.Listen: Spotify | Apple MusicClick here to view full gallery at Hypebeast
