From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I’ve been struggling to get in the Christmas spirit this year - maybe its growing up, maybe it’s the bleak world situation - but Chance the Rapper and Jeremih have finally made it happen for me.
The pair posted a surprise Christmas present early this morning/late last night, depending on your time zone, in the form of Merry Christmas Lil Mama, a mixtape consisting of nine new tracks you can listen to for free on Soundcloud (below)
Opener ‘All the Way’ features comedian Hannibal Buress (“autotune my shit!”), while ‘Stranger at the Table’ riffs on the Jackson 5’s ‘I Want You Back’ and 'I Shoulda Left You' echoes the sentiments of many: "Fuck 2016."
Who knows when Chance and Jeremih came up with the idea for a Christmas mixtape, let alone found time to record it, but it’s a lot of fun, a mix of festive piano and organ-based slow jams and a few more upbeat numbers.
Chance is still riding high of the success of his latest album Coloring Book, while Jeremih is expected to release his next LP Later That Night soon and possible a collaboration with Party Next Door.Coloring Book, while Jeremih is expected to release his next LP Later That Night soon and possible a collaboration with Party Next Door.
