  • Partynextdoor Unveils 'Partypack' on Ovo Sound
    PARTYNEXTDOOR UNVEILS PARTYPACK ON OVO SOUND, A COLLECTION OF PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED MUSIC FEATURING PND CLASSICS “PERSIAN RUGS,” “CANDY” FEAT. NIPSEY HUSSLE, “WEST DISTRICT” AND MORE LISTEN HERE DOWNLOAD COVER ART HERE October 16, 2020 (Toronto, Ont.) – The impact PARTYNEXTDOOR has made on R&B can be traced back to music that was never officially released and today, PND shares PARTYPACK on OVO Sound, a rare bundle of PND classics that define an era. The 7-track collection of songs, dating back to 2015 with guest features from Quavo, Lil Yachty, Murda Beatz and the late Nipsey Hussle, are now deemed some of the most sought-after tracks from the PARTYNEXTDOOR catalogue. Fans can now stream coveted slow jams like “PERSIAN RUGS,” “THINGS & SUCH” and “DON’T DO IT FOR YOU NO MORE.” PARTYPACK resumes the GRAMMY® Award-nominated artist's prolific musical output from the release of his critically-acclaimed album PARTYMOBILE, which dropped in March of this year and features the now RIAA platinum-certified “LOYAL” feat. Drake and blockbuster single “BELIEVE IT” with Rihanna. PARTYMOBILE has collected over 625 million streams, making it his second Top 10 album ever. "PARTYNEXTDOOR has now made his triumphant official return," said HYPEBEAST of PND's fourth album. GQ raved that PARTYMOBILE, whose title is inspired by listening to music while driving, is "his best album to date." Forbes said, “PartyNextDoor’s ability to pull inspiration from all his previous work to craft a wide array of after-hours R&B and alternative hip hop has led to the creation of one of the best LPs of its kind.” In 2020, PND has also been featured on tracks from Summer Walker, dvsn and Trippie Redd.

  • Social Media to the Mainstream
    1 SoundCloud Rap Narratives as Pop Star Narratives: From Social Media to the Mainstream Popular music meanings are dependent on the artist understood as a “total star text” (Dyer 1979). There has been much discussion in academia of how digital technology transforms formerly auteurist narratives of popular music creation into stories about collective authorship (Ahonen 2008, 107). Yet central fictions continue to involve the singular figure of the popular music star. Like new technologies before it, social media change how pop music stardom narratives are constructed. Narrative arcs (stories) and narrative forms (how those stories are told) have transformed alongside changes to the communication structures between artist and audience, and shifts in the authenticating mechanisms applied to pop stars. The transition of so-called SoundCloud rappers to the center of the American pop music landscape over the last five years epitomizes these changes. This study looks at how the narratives of SoundCloud rappers are constructed in the exchange between social media and traditional media publications; it assumes artist narratives to be constructed in this dialogic space. Social media events are articulated onto traditional structures of legitimation, and mainstream media canonize social media narratives. The results of this study indicate how artist narratives regularly unfold online, and how those patterns feed into the more familiar dramatic story arcs. Between January 2015 and June 2019, approximately 5–6% of unique artists that appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 could be categorized as “SoundCloud rappers.” This research focuses on a subset of these, artists who entered mainstream consciousness between 2016 and 2018, and can be broadly thought of as the second generation of SoundCloud rappers to make the transition to the mainstream.
