With over 65 Hot 100 hits and 100 million records sold to her credit, Dionne Warwick towers as one of music history’s most successful female acts.

For those stats and many others, the 83-year-old icon was among the 2023 class of Kennedy Center Honorees – a list that also included groundbreaking acts Queen Latifah, Bee Gees star Barry Gibb, EMMY-winning screen legend Billy Crystal, and others.

Hosted by GRAMMY-winning legend (and previous honoree) Gloria Estefan, the event continued its tradition of honoring individuals who have “redefined their artforms” while demonstrating “remarkable authenticity.”

A toast to that very notion came courtesy of GRAMMY-nominated R&B star Chloe Bailey, who was on hand to tribute Warwick with a stirring live rendition of the 1963 classic ‘Walk on By.’

Ahead of the ‘KC Honors’ airing on CBS on December 27, get a sneak peek at how Bailey fared with the timeless tune.

Daniel Kaluuya has cooked up a major new production in the form of ‘The Kitchen.’

Stepping behind the camera, the Oscar winner takes on the directorial helm of the hotly anticipated film alongside Kibwe Tavares.

Led by Kane Robinson (Kano), ‘The Kitchen’ is a story set in a dystopian London and centers on community, inequality, family, class, joy, resilience, and more. It’s narratively anchored in the seismically stretched gap between rich and poor. Social housing has been wiped out and all that remains is… The Kitchen. A hub of sorts and one that inhabitants refuse to move out of.

Viewers will follow Izi, who lives there by necessity and is desperately angling for a way out, and 12-year-old Benji, who is seeking family after losing his mother. Together, they’re tasked with navigating a complex situation and establishing a bond.

Ahead of its premiere in January, check out the first-look trailer below…

The late emcee’s first release of 2023, ‘Lace’ – produced by Juice’s longtime friend and collaborator Benny Blanco – serves as the first single from his final posthumous album ‘The Party Never Ends.’

“Roll it up, lace it, pop a few to chase it / I’m in my own Matrix, none of this shit makes sense / All these humans basic, don’t got no home trainin’ / Codeine by the cases, I’ve been purple rainin’,” Wrld raps in the new song.

The rising rapper, best known for the songs ‘Law and Order’ and ‘Fat Racks,’ was already racking up handsome streams courtesy of their duet ‘Grinch Freestyle,‘ but now the two are looking to take those numbers even higher with the holiday-adjacent tune’s official music video.

“Stand on business, pull up and get busy, pick a place (Buh) / H**s ain’t tryna fight, they swingin’ belts and pullin’ lace (Buh, buh) / Let that h* think I forgot, when I catch her, I’ma blank / Got these diamonds out the sink, s*** water, hit like tank (Water),” the ‘Big Energy’ beauty spits on the sizzling new track.
