Today, Los Angeles rapper and producer Rockitneedspace officially releases his collaborative project Next Day Air. with New York City producer collective SURF GANG, out now via Tan Cressida Records. The project features the previously released singles “Mr. Doubt,” featuring his labelmates Cletus Strap and Earl Sweatshirt and “factory reset.,” which arrived with an accompanying Aida Osman-directed (The Hawk, Rap Sh!t, Random Acts of Flyness) video.

Across the project’s nine songs, Rockit’s rap cadence and left-field energy blends seamlessly with SURF GANG’s boundary-pushing production; traversing plugg, hip hop, and electronic music. The full project was recorded at Tan Cressida’s studio in LA and executive produced by both Earl Sweatshirt & SURF GANG with features including Cletus Strap, Earl Sweatshirt, Anklesandwich, Leota & distroROE.

Next Day Air. is rooted in California weed culture, specifically through Rockit’s own experiences and association with the scene and industry, although Rockit asserts that the listener doesn’t have to be part of that lifestyle to appreciate the lyrical themes and wordplay. Drawing parallels between the supply chain, demand and everyday language of package distribution to your door, the theme carries through to the project artwork, designed by Harrison of SURF GANG and Rockitneedspace, with photography by stoopidcute.

Production on the project is largely handled by SURF GANG’s Harrison off the back of his recent solo album Taking a walk & calling a car home, and being heavily involved in the production across POMPEII // UTILITY, the recent acclaimed album from MIKE & Earl Sweatshirt. The project also includes contributions from SURF GANG members evilgiane & Flea Diamonds. Sonically, Rockitneedspace has been carving out what Earl describes as “West Coast plugg”, encouraging SURF GANG to connect the hazy, melodic qualities of plugg with the attitude and energy of classic West Coast rap. The influence of ’90s gangster rap is also present, as are the warped textures and melodies of old school video game soundtracks.

Mixed by Earl Sweatshirt, this marks Rockitneedspace’s first release on Tan Cressida after signing to the label. With the structure and support of a team behind him, Space has been able to step away from some of the engineering and production responsibilities he previously handled himself to concentrate on rapping, writing, and creating art.

Visually and conceptually, the project draws from the world of ’90s and early-2000s cinema, particularly Friday and the film Next Day Air., which shares a release date with Rockitneedspace’s birthday. That cinematic influence carries through to the sequencing, with “ZOUTHBAYLAKERZ” imagined as an end-credits moment, leaving the listener sitting with the experience rather than immediately moving on. Ultimately, Next Day Air. is designed to be replayed. Rockitneedspace wants to leave listeners feeling fulfilled, like the end of a great smoke session: relaxed, satisfied and ready to run it back.

In celebration of the release, Rockitneedspace and Tan Cressida Records will host a Next Day Air. themed booth at Puffco’s Puffcon LA, the world’s best hash celebration on October 3rd & 4th with an exclusive collaborative drop including limited-edition jars (100 only). Rockit is also set to support Cletus Strap’s debut headline LA show this fall on November 28th at The Echo.

On the heels of the 10th anniversary of Mac Miller’s landmark album The Divine Feminine (originally released on September 16th, 2016), The Mac Miller Estate releases a special 10th anniversary edition of the album digitally and physically (the latter on deluxe and standard 3LP anniversary vinyl editions).

To celebrate the album’s anniversary and the release of this special edition, the Mac Miller Estate releases The Divine Feminine Live, a Sam Balaban-directed concert special featuring Mac performing the album’s songs based on the television special from 2016 in which Mac initially taped the performance. The Estate previously shared a preview of what fans can expect from tonight’s special.

The 10th anniversary edition of the album features three never-before-heard songs taken from the sessions in which The Divine Feminine was made, including “Butterflies,” the Taylor Graves-produced and Thundercat-featuring song that was shared in August.

Upon its release in 2016, The Divine Feminine marked one of the most stark turning points in a career punctuated by creative reinvention. After doubling down on his rap prowess on 2015’s GO:OD AM, Mac Miller stunned fans with an audacious pivot to create a concept album that explored his views on the power of love and the sacred energy of women. The embrace of his singing voice and genre-agnostic approach of the songwriting foreshadowed the evolution that would further materialize on his 2018 album Swimming.

Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated acclaimed actor, comedian, and television host Anthony Anderson will host “SOUL TRAIN AWARDS 2026,” airing Friday, November 27 at 8 PM ET/PT on BET and CBS. Returning to the BET stage, Anderson will lead an unforgettable celebration of the artists, music, and enduring cultural legacy of the iconic “Soul Train” franchise, with a night of performances, tributes, and honors.

Anderson previously hosted the BET Awards in 2015 and 2016 and served as host of the NAACP Image Awards for eight consecutive years, bringing his signature humor, charisma and commanding presence to some of television’s biggest celebrations of Black excellence and culture. Anderson also hosted the 75th Annual Emmy Awards.

“I’m thrilled to be back with BET and especially excited to host SOUL TRAIN AWARDS in Chicago, where the Soul Train legacy began,” said Anthony Anderson. “Soul Train is more than a television show or an awards franchise; it’s a piece of our cultural history. Don Cornelius created a platform that gave Black artists a place to shine, and generations later, that spirit is still alive. I’m looking forward to celebrating the legends, the artists shaping R&B and soul today, and bringing a whole lot of fun to the night.”

“Anthony brings an incredible combination of comedic instinct, musical knowledge and genuine love for this culture,” said Connie Orlando, EVP of Specials, Music Programming and Music Strategy for BET. “His longstanding relationship with BET, coupled with his experience hosting some of television’s biggest award shows, makes him a natural fit for this new chapter of SOUL TRAIN AWARDS.”

“Anthony Anderson is an exceptional entertainer with a genuine connection to BET and the culture that SOUL TRAIN represents,” said Louis Carr, President of BET. “He understands the legacy, the music and the importance of creating a moment that brings people together. As we return SOUL TRAIN AWARDS to Chicago, the birthplace of the franchise, we’re excited to have Anthony at the center of this celebration.”

Anderson has received seven consecutive Emmy nominations for “Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series,” four Emmy nominations for “Outstanding Comedy Series” as producer, three Golden Globe nominations, and three Critics’ Choice nominations for his role on “black-ish.” He has won eight Image Awards and had six BET Award nominations.

SOUL TRAIN AWARDS 2026 marks the return of one of television’s most iconic celebrations of Black music and culture. The 2026 telecast will bring together artists who defined the sound with the artists carrying it forward, honoring the legacy of “Soul Train” while introducing a new generation to the spirit of the franchise.

Performers, honorees and additional special moments will be announced in the coming weeks.

About Soul Train

“Soul Train” was created in 1971 by visionary Don Cornelius and predominantly featured performances by R&B, pop, soul, and hip-hop artists, in addition to the occasional funk, jazz, disco, and gospel artists. When the final episode of the show’s historic thirty-five-year run aired in 2006, it was the longest-running first-run, nationally syndicated program in television history. “Soul Train” highlighted a cast of incredible, ethnically diverse dancers who famously introduced the world to a whole new series of dance moves and styles on a weekly basis. Cornelius opened every show welcoming the audience to “the hippest trip in America” and closed each show wishing the audience “love, peace, and soul.” Today, the legacy of “Soul Train” lives on through the legendary Soul Train dance line, which has become a timeless staple on dance floors across America. In 2016, BET acquired the “Soul Train” brand and remains dedicated to revitalizing the brand while also honoring its heritage.
