Life is hard enough in your teenage years. You’re still trying to find comfort with yourself, and it’s easy to get insecure when you’re viewed as an outcast. Imagine dealing with that as a 13-foot giant. The new Prime Video comedy series I’m a Virgo is a coming-of-age tale that puts a fun twist on the familiar tropes. And the new trailer released by Amazon Studios takes us on a journey of walking through life while sticking out amongst the crowd in the biggest way possible. The gigantic stature protagonist is played by the Emmy-winning Jharrel Jerome, known for When They See Us and Moonlight.
The official plot synopsis from Prime Video reads (along with some interesting and amusing actor descriptions),
I’m A Virgo is a darkly comedic fantastical coming-of-age joyride about Cootie (Jharrel Jerome), a 13-foot-tall young Black man in Oakland, California. Having grown up hidden away,...

Futuristic NYC avant-rockers Battles have announced the upcoming release of their fourth album, Juice B Crypts. Due in October via Warp, the record finds the band scaling back to the duo of guitarist-keyboardist Ian Williams and drummer John Stanier, following the departure of bassist Dave Konopka in 2018. Much like the group’s second LP, 2011’s Gloss Drop, Juice B Crypts will feature a wealth of guest vocalists; one of those singers, Sal Principato of NYC dance-punk pioneers Liquid Liquid, appears on new single “Titanium 2 Step.”

Boots Riley’s first feature film — a surrealist depiction of his hometown Oakland during capitalist wartime — came with a clamorous, giddy score by hometown heroes Tune-Yards; its layered vocal loops and stampeding beats kept up with each increasingly bizarre twist onscreen. The movie’s official soundtrack, which showcases Riley’s long-running hip-hop collective The Coup alongside other musical visionaries, is similarly vibrant; its 35 minutes of future funk burst with the confident audacity of Sorry‘s most jaw-dropping moments even as Riley and his fellow guests are describing personal and social problems.

Lakeith Stanfield’s Moors project teams with Tune-Yards on the new song “Mango,” a collaboration borne out of the actor and indie rockers’ work on the Boots Riley-directed comedy Sorry to Bother You. Moors, Stanfield’s duo with Song Exploder creator Hrishikesh Hirway, also dropped a colorful new video for “Mango.”
“We became big Lakeith fans by spending hundreds of hours scoring Sorry to Bother You and watching his incredible acting skills. We met at the Sundance premiere, and Lakeith was really into the score so we talked about collaborating,...

Editors’ Pick: The Coup, Sorry to Bother You: The Soundtrack
Boots Riley’s feature-directing debut accompanied its surrealist depiction of life in Oakland during capitalist wartime with a clamorous, giddy score by hometown heroes Tune-Yards; the movie’s official soundtrack, which showcases his long-running hip-hop collective The Coup alongside other boldfaced names, is similarly vibrant. Star Lakeith Stanfield guests on the glam-rock-tinged opening stomper “Oyahytt” (an acronym for its chanted “Oh Yeah, Alright, Hell Yeah, That’s Tight” refrain, which is probably seconds away from being repurposed for arena pump-ups...

There’s a sea change of originality to be found within Sorry to Bother You, the best film of the year so far. Not only is it the class of 2018 so far, it’s arguably one of the very best movies of the last five years. The past half decade has had some real great works, and this stands tall alongside them. Boots Riley makes a debut here that is one for the ages. This weekend, when Sorry to Bother You begins its theatrical run, a magical experience is hitting cinemas. It may turn some people off, but if you’re anything like me, it’s going to blow you away. Describing this movie is almost impossible, and that’s part of its charm. The plot synopsis is perfectly vague on IMDb, as it simply states: “In an alternate present-day version of Oakland, telemarketer Cassius Green discovers a magical key to professional success,...
