Drake officially shared his Kendrick Lamar diss track "Push Ups" to streaming services on Friday (April 19), a few days after the track's leak.

The track sees Drake responding to Lamar's barbed verses on Metro Boomin and Future's "Like That," which took aim at him and J. Cole.

Drake does not target only Lamar on "Push Ups." He also takes aim at the Weeknd, Rick Ross, Metro Boomin, and Cole himself.

After Drake compared himself to Michael Jackson on "First Person Shooter" in 2023, saying the two are tied for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard charts, Lamar took aim at him on "Like That," likening the Canadian rapper to Jackson's longtime rival Prince.

"Prince outlived Mike Jack' N****, bum, 'fore all your dogs gettin' buried That's a K with all these nines, he gon' see Pet Sematary," he rapped on the track.

"This the bark with the bite, nigga, what's up? / How the fuck you been steppin' with a size seven mens on?" Drake raps on "Push Ups," alluding to Lamar's fifth studio album Mr Morale & The Big Steppers.

Unlike the original leak, the official version of "Push Ups" features an original beat credited to Boi-1da, Fierce, Coleman, and Noel Cadastre.

Killer Mike, Vince Staples and Steve Aoki are set to headline the inaugural Elsewhere Festival to be held June 21-22.

The Elsewhere Festival and Conference, which is scheduled to take place in Wichita, Kansas, will also feature performances from Lane 8, Snow Tha Product, BADBADNOTGOOD, Sudan Archives, TOKiMONSTA, and several others.

In addition to his performance, Killer Mike will appear as a speaker at the conference, addressing the need for freedom of expression.

The festival, created and produced by Wichita-based artist and music worker collective Midtopia, will aim to build community and opportunity for musicians and music workers in the Midwest.

"Midtopia was created to serve a need in Wichita, but really applies, well, elsewhere," says Midtopia CEO and director Jessie Hartke in a release. "There are so many talented artists and music workers alike, and such wonderful local scenes, but industry support is really lacking and systematically flawed."

The event will take place across local Wichita venues with one free stage open to the public. The two-day event will also see some panel discussions, various art experiences, an immersive light and sound stage, and serve as a platform for community-based artists of all kinds.

Paramount+ has announced new episodes of the groundbreaking docuseries '"Behind The Music" will premiere exclusively on the service in the U.S. and Canada on May 1 and in the U.K., Australia, Latin America, Brazil, Italy, France, Germany, Switzerland and Austria on May 2.

The new episodes profile Bell Biv DeVoe, Trace Adkins and Wolfgang Van Halen, while remastered episodes feature 50 Cent, Bobby Brown, Ice-T, Milli Vanilli, The Notorious B.I.G. and Sinead O'Connor.

Official loglines for new episodes are as follows:

When New Edition dissolved in the late '80s, Ronnie DeVoe, Ricky Bell and Michael Bivins were counted out by critics and record executives. However, they defied expectations and became a multi-platinum group with their album Poison. The trio created some of the greatest party anthems of the 1990s, but infighting, financial pitfalls, addiction and mental health struggles almost led to the group's demise. Four decades later, Bell Biv DeVoe still is performing for multiple generations of adoring global fans.

Despite a near-fatal shooting, Trace Adkins worked his way to the top of the country music charts with his platinum-selling debut album Dreamin' Out Loud. But a sophomore slump and a struggle with alcoholism nearly destroyed his career. With help from family, musicians and mentors alike, Trace pushed forward with even more hits, a flourishing acting career and a new lease on life. Wolfgang Van Halen reveals his story that's wrought with trauma, perseverance and immense talent. Born to guitar god Eddie Van Halen and actress Valerie Bertinelli, Wolfgang instantly became bound to music. As he developed his own sound, Wolfgang turned to his solo project, Mammoth WVH, before tragedy struck. Eddie's death rocked his son's world, but Wolfgang solidified his music career with a sound all of his own while continuing to honor his father's legacy.

These artists join the star-studded lineup of original "Behind The Music" episodes on Paramount+, featuring Boy George, Bret Michaels, Busta Rhymes, Duran Duran, Jennifer Lopez, LL Cool J, New Kids on the Block, Remy Ma and Ricky Martin.

The docuseries is executive produced by Bruce Gillmer and Michael Maniaci for MTV Entertainment Studios.

A judge has dismissed hip-hop superstar Drake from multiple lawsuits over the tragedy at the Astroworld festival in November 2021 that resulted in the deaths of ten people and left several hundreds injured.

State District Judge Kristen Hawkins dismissed Drake from the case in a brief order. The judge also dismissed Epic Records, concert promoter ScoreMore and a few other entities from the litigation but refused to dismiss Travis Scott, Apple Inc., and Live Nation Entertainment from the lawsuits.

The suits pertain to the incident that took place at the of the Astroworld festival in Houston on November 5, 2021, at which Drake was a special guest of Travis Scott, the headliner at the festival.

Following a crowd surge that resulted in severe casualties, the affected families sued Drake, Scott and Live Nation as well as several other individuals and entities.

Drake's lawyers argued during a court hearing in Houston earlier this month that he was not involved in putting the concert together and was subsequently not liable for the deaths and injuries that occurred.

They argued that Drake (Aubrey Drake Graham) was unaware of any safety issues prior to performing at the show.

"Mr. Graham did not receive any security briefings, was not informed of any crowd control issues, injuries or deaths in the crowd, or any stop show orders at any time either before or during his 14-minute performance," his attorney stated.
