Sitting with Sermon’s Domain before the Seattle show, Juicy J discusses narrowing down Stay Trippy from 80 to 16 songs, “Ain’t No Coming Down” getting a big enough response to be included on the album, separation between his mixtapes and album’s sound, being one of the few rappers to work with Justin Timberlake, how he got the Pimp C verse on “Show Out (Remix)” and if he feels that Stay Trippy should’ve came out when “Bandz A Make Her Dance” peaked.
We linked up with Rockie Fresh for the new episode of Off Tha’ Wall. He took some time to chop it up with us about being the newest signee to MMG, copping the Space Jam soundtrack, and watching Hangin’ with Mr. Cooper. – Mass Appeal

Ellie Goulding recently released a visual to her spin on Alt-J’s ‘Tessellate’, and the originators recently spoke on the cover to MTV while at the Governors Ball:
“Well, Ellie’s a fan of the band, and that’s really nice, and she emailed me, sent me a message on Facebook or something just saying ‘Oh, I’ve done a cover of ‘Tessellate,’ what do you think of it?'” keyboardist Gus Unger-Hamilton said. “I played it for everyone else and I thought it was really cool. Ultimately, it was nice of her to, in a sense, ask permission! She could have just done it and it would have been fine!”
