By the time Kenyon Dixon arrived at “EGO RUINS EVE

By the time Kenyon Dixon arrived at “EGO RUINS EVERYTHING,” his new album out today, July 24, he had already built the kind of resume that could justify a victory lap. The Los Angeles singer-songwriter had quietly become one of contemporary R&B’s most respected craftsmen, earning five Grammy nominations. Yet when it came time to make his latest album, Dixon found himself looking inward instead of celebrating outward. “EGO RUINS EVERYTHING is a concept album that’s kind of just a journey through ego and learning how to deal with it,” Dixon tells LA Weekly. “It came from a retrospective place — looking at decisions I made, experiences I’ve had and things I’ve seen other people go through.” Loaded with earworms and built without guest features, the album unfolds like a film, following a protagonist learning to confront his ego before finding redemption in the closing moments. At the heart of the project is an artist who has built his career independently, staying true to his purpose while continuing to evolve. @kennygotsoul Read the interview and see the gallery thru @laweekly ✍️ @boyface_

Levity has rapidly become one of the hottest acts

Levity has rapidly become one of the hottest acts in bass music. We caught up with members John Hauldren and PJ Carberry backstage before and after their B2B set with ALLEYCVT at Zombie Apocalypse Music Festival in Long Beach, where they reflected on their astronomical rise from fans in the crowd to artists headlining the festival stages they once dreamed of playing. “This music changed our lives,” John says. “It changed who we are as people.” The group also opened up about the inspiration behind the next chapter of “Escapism,” staying grounded through sold-out tours and major festival sets, and the advice they’d give aspiring producers chasing their own breakthrough. “The only thing that can stop you is yourself. Really.” @levity.music Read the interview and see the photo gallery thru @laweekly ✍️📸

More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed h

More than 45 years after “The Evil Dead“ changed horror forever, the franchise is still alive and well. This time, the torch has been passed to French filmmaker Sébastien Vaniček, whose “Infested“ caught Sam Raimi's eye and led him to direct “Evil Dead Burn.“ Ahead of the film's release tomorrow, July 10, Vaniček tells us about how he stepped into one of horror's most beloved franchises, balancing relentless brutality with humor, the series' famously chaotic lore, and his battle with the MPAA over the film's violence. “When you start to work in this universe, you are like, ‘Okay, so what are the rules?’ It's like, there are no rules,” Vaniček says with a laugh. @sebvanicek
