Lil Nas X took some time off, but clearly it was no vacation. The rapper has dropped back-to-back new singles this week and on his latest he’s warning that no games will be played this year. “B–ch, I’m in my prime like a paintbrush/ Big s–t poppin’, walkin’ ’round in a mink vest/ Whoop-whoop, talkin’ ain’t tryna hear the stank breath/ B–ch, shut the f–k up unless she’s got a big chef for me,” he raps over a spare, bass-heavy beat.

In the equally bare-bones video, Lil Nas delivers the song’s fair warning to watch yourself in a white void, rocking a pink shirt and black jeans with pink crosses and wings across the front as three male dancers in pink matchin bounce around behind him. When the sing-songy chorus comes around, LNX is back on his fun vibe.

“In the club, cuttin’ up/ Gettin’ drunk while I’m pickin’ out my pick-me/ All my opps and my simps gettin’ low/ ‘Cause they want but they know they can’t get me,” he sings in a high voice before getting back to business with some NSFW bars about “bangin’ on his top like bongos.”

A third preview of Lil Nas’ upcoming album, “Hotbox,” is due out on Friday (March 14), after the rapper teased the song’s video last month.

This week opened with the surprise drop of the “Dreamboy” single, on which Lil Nas raps “I was scared then, ain’t scared now/ Weren’t ready then, but I’m ready now,” over some chunky piano. The Dreamboy album — the follow-up to 2021’s Montero — does not yet have an official release date.

William Shatner To Go Where He’s Never Gone Before on Heavy Metal Album Featuring Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden Covers

The 94-year-old TV icon teased that the untitled LP will feature 35 "metal virtuosos."

Forget about second acts in American life, TV legend William Shatner is up to his fourth, maybe 10th act at this point. The 94-year-old actor best known for playing the irascible James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek series and movies, as well as police sergeant T.J. Hooker in the 1980s is boldly going where even he hasn’t gone before.

In an Instagram post on Thursday (Feb. 19), the mutli-hyphenate performer who made his musical debut in 1968 with the beyond bizarre The Transformed Man LP featuring his florid readings of The Beatles’ “Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds” and Elton John’s “Rocket Man,” announced that he’s prepping his first heavy metal album at an age where metal typically goes into your body rather than comes out.
