DVSN -  No Cryin' feat. Future (OVO Sound): In advance of a keenly-anticipated follow-up album to the acclaimed 2017 LP Morning After, the Toronto R&B duo, comprising singer Daniel Daley and Grammy-winning producer Nineteen85, releases a new track featuring chart-topping US rapper Future. No Cryin arrives after two previous songs, Miss Me and In Between, from the group were shared earlier this year.


Nineteen85 explains in a press release that "After 60 shows on the road together for the Summer Sixteen Tour, we've linked with Future to bring fans new music. Since producing the outro on Future’s album, THE WIZRD, we're definitely no strangers in the studio. The timing couldn’t have been better for this one!"

Influence Media Wins Bid to Acquire Anthem Entertainment’s Music Assets

Sources say the BlackRock-backed company bid slightly above $650 million for the assets, though the deal has yet to close.

Apparently, the third time really can be the charm, as sources say Influence Media Partners has emerged as the winner in the auction for the music assets of Anthem Entertainment, the Canadian music firm that houses music publishing assets and recorded masters royalties from the likes of Rush and Timbaland.

While two earlier efforts to sell the firm in 2017 and 2022 came up short, sources suggest that in the third go-round, the successful Goldman Sachs-shopped deal saw at least two bids come in above the $600 million mark, even though most other bidders were said to be in the $500 million to $600 million range before dropping out. In all, sources suggested that about a dozen suitors kicked the tires on Anthem.
