Lil Wayne is closing out 2020 with a bang.

Less than a month after the release of his No Ceilings 3 mixtape, the rapper unveiled the 14-track “Side B” on Friday (Dec. 18). The compilation, hosted by DJ Khaled, features all-star appearances from Big Sean, 2 Chainz, Rich the Kid, Euro, and Lil Twist.

Both Big Sean and Lil Wayne himself have been teasing the project for a while. Two weeks ago, Weezy hinted at it during an Instagram Live session, while Sean shared on Thursday (Dec. 17) that “[Lil Wayne] said he not done wit No Ceilings 3!!! Part 2 drop tomorrow! so We went for 100 bars off dis bitch jus for fun!”

Listen to No Ceilings 3: B Side via DatPiff here.

 

Paul McCartney is simply having a “Wonderful Christmastime,” especially this year after his McCartney III album dropped on Friday (Dec. 18) and his Christmas song re-entered the Billboard Hot 100 in the Dec. 19-dated week.

The holiday jingle originally appeared on Wings’ final album Back to the Egg in 1979 and the deluxe reissue of his solo album McCartney II. He goes caroling with his former band at a Christmas party in the official music video.

Check out the lyrics and music video below.

The mood is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The party’s on
The feeling’s here
That only comes
This time of year

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding ooh ooh
Do-do, do-do, do-do, do

We’re simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The word is out
About the town
So lift a glass
Oh and don’t look down

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The choir of children sing their song
They practiced all year long
Ding dong, ding dong
Ding dong, ding dong (dong)
Ding dong, ding dong (dong)
Ding dong, dong dong

The party’s on
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
And that’s enough (ohh)

Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
We’re simply having a wonderful Christmastime

The mood is right
The spirits up
We’re here tonight
Oh and that’s enough (yeah)

We’re simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime
Simply having a wonderful Christmastime

Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Wonderful Christmastime (Christmas)

To support music venues in need this holiday season, The Lumineers released a rendition of the festive classic “Silent Night” via Dualtone and Decca.

For one year, all proceeds from the song will benefit the National Independent Venue Association’s Emergency Relief Fund, which aims to save the music industry’s most important stages amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

“Venues have gone silent all across the country and world because of the pandemic,” the band said in a press statement. “Hope is on the horizon, and we believe we’ll be playing again in 2021. But independent venues need our help to survive that long. Don’t let the venues remain silent forever – save our stages. When you stream our song ‘Silent Night’ all proceeds will go towards supporting the National Independent Venue Association (NIVA).”

An accompanying video shows packed venues, now empty. Scenes of better times flash across the screen, with The Lumineers playing for a hyped-up crowd. The clip also raises awareness for severe challenges that independent venues across the nation are facing this year.

Christina Aguilera turned 40 on Friday (Dec. 18), and she’s marking the turning point in her life with a different mindset — but the same killer body.

Xtina embraced the big 4-0 with a gold-embellished black bodysuit that she wore while strutting at home in a new video with Megan Thee Stallion’s “Body” hit bumping in the background. “Comin for you 40!” she exclaimed.

Missy Elliott commented “Happy Birfffffday” before a fan commanded her to put their cover of Rose Royce’s 1976 hit “Car Wash” on Spotify, which the two had recorded for the 2004 DreamWorks animated film Shark Tales.

The “Reflection” singer revealed how arriving at a new decade of her life made her feel in a letter she addressed to her new age.

“Dear 40, What a beautiful concept… to not only be ‘turning’ 40, but to be ARRIVING at 40!” she began her lengthy message. “This ever-present social stigma exists around getting older, but I have ALWAYS embraced it! … I’ve heard it said that some of your best life is lived in your 40’s. You stop giving a f— about all the bullsh–… clarity comes over you, and a new intention sets in with every move you make. I truly believe the best is yet to come and I am READY for it.”

Watch Xtina body 40 and arrive boldly with her latest birthday video and letter below.

Van Morrison is continuing his musical streak against the COVID-19 restrictions, bringing Eric Clapton along for the ride in their new collaboration, “Stand And Deliver.”

The track supports Morrison’s ongoing Save Live Music campaign.

“Do you wanna be a free man / Or do you wanna be a slave? / Do you wanna wear these chains / Until you’re lying in the grave?” the duo sing on the track released on Friday (Dec. 18), before a chorus that preaches a similar sentiment: “Stand and deliver / You let them put the fear on you.”

“Stand And Deliver” follows a few other anti-lockdown protest tracks from Morrison, including “Born to Be Free” and the more directly titled “No More Lockdown.”

Proceeds from “Stand and Deliver” will benefit Morrison’s Lockdown Financial Hardship Fund, which aims to assist musicians who are struggling amid the coronavirus pandemic, Variety reports.
