Chuck D and The Doors'
John Densmore Team Up on the 'doPE' Single From Upcoming 'No Country for Old Men' Album (New York, NY) - 2014 Record Store Day Ambassador Hip-Hop
legend Chuck D (Public Enemy) joins forces with The Doors' iconic drummer John Densmore
on a new single "doPE". Their debut album, "No Country for Old Men,"
blends spoken word, rhythm, and raw social commentary to bring together generations of rebellion and reflection and includes
the 2026 Record Store Day "Song of the Year" "Every tick tick tick."
"No Country for
Old Men" was recorded specifically for Record Store Day 2026. The vinyl album arrives in record stores on April 18, 2026
via Org Music housed in a deluxe gatefold package featuring original illustrations by Chuck D himself.
The origins
of "doPE" trace back to a chance encounter after the two musical legends met on a Record Store Day panel in 2014.
Densmore received an unexpected email from Chuck D a year later. Shortly afterward, Chuck stylized the word "doPE,"
using the first two letters in The Doors' iconic logo and the last two with Public Enemy's unmistakable icon and launched
a creative exchange that bridged generations, genres and cultural movements.
When Chuck D began sending verses
to collaborate on, Densmore responded the everybody gets older, but not everybody gets elder. The phrase became a philosophical
cornerstone of the project, a meditation on responsibility, legacy and the bond between generations. That is when their artistic
volley evolved into "No Country for Old Men," the album's title track and thematic anchor.

inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and since then, he has earned a Grammy® Lifetime Achievement Award and
a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. He has written, produced and acted in theatre productions (winning an NAACP Award),

Raahiim
Releases New Album 'Pray For Me' (New York, NY) - Raahiim releases new album "Pray
For Me" (MNRK Music Group). Singles are being released, such as "Slide4U (Hating)," featuring Karri.
The single is accompanied by a music video. Built around smooth vocal exchanges and a low-riding groove, the record is melodic,
steamy, and emotionally candid. A Bay area singer,
Karri first broke through with his track "3 AM in Oakland," later earning recognition from Billboard as an R&B
Rookie of the Month and drawing early support from artists like Drake. Directed by Davane, the msuic video for "Slide4U (Hating)" unfolds like a story told through slides,
revealing moments one frame at a time. Each image holds briefly, charged with attraction and friction, before giving way to
the next. The pacing allows closeness and hesitation to surface in fragments, mirroring the song's push-and-pull as the sequence
unfolds. "Slide4U (Hating)" fits seamlessly
alongside Raahiim's recent releases, including "Wiickesdwst" featuring Beam, a Reggae-influenced R&B record
tapping into his Jamaican roots, as well as earlier standouts like "Falling Off" and "Just Like Me." After
touring with Jessie Reyez, Raahiim continues to build momentum as both a performer and songwriter, with credits on records
by Drake, Mariah Carey, and Dvsn.
