Philadelphia producer RJD2 has returned with a hip-shaking new song, “Pull Up on Love,” the lead single from his upcoming album, The Fun Ones, out April 17th.
The cut boasts the irresistible groove of a dusted-off soul 45 with its shuffling drums, fat bass line and prickly guitar, although an assortment of soft synths lend the track a distinctly modern edge. “Pull Up on Love” features RJD2’s past collaborators Sts, Khari Mateen and Jordan Brown, who share vocal duties, and the song arrives with a video in which the four...

Yet, they’re still able to channel the spirit of that moment in the culture’s history because of how far they’ve gone to prepare for their roles.
For Mack Wilds, who also stars on Fox’s racially charged drama Shots Fired, premiering March 22, that meant actually learning how to spin records in order to add to hip-hop producer DeeVee’s skill set. When DeeVee takes part in a DJ battle at NYC’s New Music Seminar on the show, Wilds was prepared to go through the motions.
“I’m the type of guy who, if you put me up against anything that I don’t understand, I’m gonna go try to find out,” says the actor, who also has...
