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…

Having already conquered charts with the 3x Platinum 2020 hit ‘Godzilla,’ top-selling rappers Eminem and Juice Wrld reunite to repeat the feat with the new tune ‘Lace It.’

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.

Having already lifted her breakthrough hit, ‘B*tch from da Souf,’ to 2x Platinum status thanks to help from the ‘Queen of Miami’ Trina, GRAMMY-nominated rapstress Latto is returning to Florida to return the favor – this time linking with up-and-coming Tallahassee native Luh Tyler.

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.
