American Rapper-Singer J.I.D Announces Massive ‘God Does Like World Tours’ Manila On May 2026

Grammy nominated American rapper-singer J.I.D announces the Asia leg of his much-awaited massive ‘God Does Like World Tours’ and will include a stop in MANILA on May 30, 2026 (Saturday) at The Podium Hall. Presented by Eventim Live Asia and Wilbros Live. Tickets go on-sale on October 8 (Wednesday), 11AM via SMTickets.com and SM Tickets outlets.

Born and raised in East Atlanta, J.I.D grew up on his parents’ collection of classic funk/soul LPs, and broke onto the scene with his 2015 EP, DiCaprio. The EP saw him collaborating with hip-hop duo EARTHGANG, whom he’d previously joined on a 2014 tour. Spotted here by J. Cole, J.I.D was promptly signed to Dreamville/Interscope Records. Soon after the signing, J.I.D made his major-label debut with the widely celebrated The Never Story (2017) which was quickly followed by the critically acclaimed album DiCaprio 2 (2018). The sophomore project garnered significant press attention and earned the rapper a spot in that year's XXL's Freshmen class. J.I.D further cemented his status as an exciting rap talent with standout performances on Dreamville's Platinum-certified, Billboard #1 compilation Revenge of the Dreamers III (2019), which received GRAMMY nominations for "Best Rap Album" and "Best Rap Performance." His growing popularity led to a collaboration with Imagine Dragons on "Enemy" for Netflix's Arcane soundtrack, amassing nearly two billion streams, achieving 4x RIAA Platinum status, and earning nominations at the MTV Music Awards, AMAs, and iHeart Awards.

Doja Cat releases her highly fifth studio album, Vie

“Gorgeous” music video out now!

GRAMMY award-winning global superstar Doja Cat releases her fifth studio album, Vie out now via Kemosabe Records/ RCA Records. 

Doja Cat also unveils the music video for her new track, “Gorgeous.” The music video was directed and shot in New York City by Bardia Zeinali (Justin Bieber / Sabrina Carpenter) and including appearances by Yseult, Paloma Elsesser, Alex Consani, Irina Shayk, Amelia Gray, Ugbad, Ida Heiner, Mona Tougaard, Alek Wek, Karen Elson, Sora Choi, Imaan Hammam, amongst others. 

On the release, Doja Cat states, “The French word “Vie” (translated in English: “life”) was a choice of wordplay by me starting with the simple fact that this is my 5th album. I wanted to stretch this from the roman numeral “five” tattoo on my collarbone. Five in numerology represents curiosity, adventure, and change. I chose Vie as a nod to La Vie en Rose and tied it together with the theme of romance and throughout this project I give my interpretation on love, sex, romance, pain, and wonder within a relationship. These songs can be pertained to the relationship with yourself or others. I feel strongly about the meaning of the word Vie because without life there is no love and without love there is no adventure. This is an adventurous album and with homages and nods to the 80’s, 70’s, and 90’s, I wanted to give my own personal modern twist.”

The Bloomfields channel cut-out psychedelia in “Pink Skies” music video

Inspired by Filipino collage artists, the trippy video embraces imperfection as a mark of authenticity

The Bloomfields are set to release the official music video for their latest single “Pink Skies.”

Helmed by the band’s bassist Louie Poco, who both directed and edited the project, the video takes the form of a surreal animated collage, unfolding in a kaleidoscope of psychedelic imagery, band performances, and pop-art influences.

For Poco, the project was more than just a technical experiment; it was a true work of heart and passion. “It was my first time experimenting with green screen and animated collage,” he shares. “No AI involved, just countless hours of hands-on editing and flexing creative muscles.”
