Today was the official release date for Kanye West’s latest album Yeezus, but in spite of the great lengths the Louis Vuitton Don went to keep it out of the wrong hands, it leaked on Friday.

How To DJ A Dance Party Without Knowing How To DJ
Every quarter-aged hipster wants to be a DJ at point or another. The only problem is that DJing is actually a really expensive hobby, if you do it right. (And by right, I mean legally.)

CNET is reporting that Apple is very close to signing deals with both Warner Music and Universal Music Group for its upcoming music streaming service. Apple still would have to sign a deal with Sony but snagging two major music labels makes Apple’s streaming service that much more ready for launch. Supposedly, Apple wants to launch its “iRadio” service in summer of this year.
