Last week, Jesse Reyez dropped her long-awaited debut album Before Love Came to Kill Us, a 14-track release she calls "sporadic, like me." It's easy to understand why. The project is a genre-bending mashup representative of her Canadian and Colombian roots — equal parts soul, R&B, and rap, with a Latino twist. The project takes listeners on a journey through her biggest pains, deepest loves, angriest moments, and back again. Reyez may be a new voice to some, but longtime fans like Billie Eilish

It had been nearly 24 hours since Rene Perez, known as the rapper Residente, took the stage with the LA Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall. He was still processing his feelings. Initially, he wasn't even sure if fans would show up to such a highbrow venue.

They rapped loudly and proudly, dancing in their seats to reimagined orchestral versions of

On the morning of May 22, 2013, 8-year-old Gabriel Fernandez was not on his way to school like other kids his age. Instead, he was being rushed to a local hospital in Palmdale, Calif., with obvious signs of trauma all over his battered, malnourished body.

Joaquín Cosío is a longtime actor with countless credits in mainstream films and television shows, but none have been like Pop — his newest role on Netflix’s Gentefied. Working on the show has earned him at least five honorary grandchildren — costars JJ Soria, Karrie Martin, Carlos Santos, Annie Gonzalez, and Julissa Calderon — something not too common for the Mexican-born actor known for roles like narco boss Don Neto in Narcos: Mexico. “As an actor, playing Pop gave me the opportunity to play

Warning: This article contains spoilers about Thursday’s episode of Station 19 titled “Eulogy.” ABC’s Station 19 said goodbye to a beloved character on Thursday, and even though fans won’t be happy about his departure, series executive producer and showrunner Krista Vernoff explains why it was necessary.
