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.Two of hip hop’s biggest heavyweights are set to collide.
“Is y’all ready for this album?” Kanye shouted out to the crowd at OVO Fest Monday night.
“I wasn't talking about Pablo. I wasn't talking about VIEWS. I wanna ask y’all right now: Are y’all ready for this album?” He clarified, pointing at Drake before pointing back to himself.
If it happens, the album would be enormous - bigger than Kanye and Jay Z collab Watch The Throne and bigger than Drake and Future team-up What A Time To Be Alive. It would be particularly specially as the pair only very rarely feature on songs together.
The Life of Pablo and VIEWS are two of the biggest albums of the year so far - they really only need Kendrick to join the fray and the hip-hop community would probably pass out.
Drake discussed the possibility of a Kanye collab mixtape earlier in the year, and Ye contributed a verse to Drizzy’s song ‘Pop Style’ (though it was cut for the album).
In other highly-anticipated album news, after yesterday’s “live stream” fake out, we finally have a release date for Frank Ocean’s Channel ORANGE follow-up.
