WATCH Big Freedia “Excuse” On Jimmy Kimmel (Video)

New Orleans’ sissy-bounce ambassador Big Freedia made his biggest move yet to bring the hyper-active sound to America, appearing on Late Night With Jimmy Kimmel yesterday.

2011 Wrap-Up (by URB Readers)

URB Top 10 Ten Artists Of 2011 (Readers Poll Winners)

Ranking the top artists of the past 365 days is a tricky proposition. What seemed like a simple enough question when we asked you to rate 100 top artists becomes a labyrinth of questions regarding the state of music in 2011. Is dance music really taking over the American landscape, or does hip-hop still rule the minds of music fans? Is it fair to nominate an act that didn’t release a proper record this year, when the internet has made the act of releasing albums virtually obsolete? Did some acts hustle hard for voters while others sat back and let the votes come in? …MORE

Spank Rock ft. Santigold :: “Car Song” (MP3)

“Car Song” is the fourth tune we’ve heard off of Spank Rock‘s upcoming album Everything Is Boring and Everyone Is a Fucking Liar. And like his previous pairings with Boys Noize (“Energy“) and Big Freedia (“Nasty“), the addition of Santigold to the tune proves that Spank Rock picked all the right collaborators for his second full-length, which is dropping Sept. 27th.
