The Cactus Jack Class of 2020 t-shirt was designed by Scott and is being sold via his website, with all profits split between two charities.

Half the money will go to the LeBron James Foundation, which supports educational programs in the his hometown of Akron, Ohio, and the rest will be donated to the charity Feeding Texas coronavirus relief fund.

Posting Scott’s design on Instagram, James said: “Class of 2020, I told you we were going to make graduation special.

 

Meanwhile, Scott’s virtual Astronomical show broke Fortnite’s streaming records when it took place last month to 12.3 million people.

To honor graduating students across America, LeBron staged a remote event for youngsters online this weekend, titled Graduate Together: America Honors the High School Class of 2020, with guests including the Jonas Brothers, Pharrell Williams, Yara Shahidi, Kevin Hart, Zendaya, Timothee Chalamet, and former U.S. President Barack Obama.

Americana and Country Singer-songwriter John Prine Dies at Age 73 after Suffering from Complications Created by COVID-19. https://www.audiojuju.com/jp/ Wed, 08 Apr 2020 16:06:02 +0000 https://www.audiojuju.com/?p=829 John Prine enjoyed a decades-long career as a lauded singer-songwriter, with fans alternatively describing his music as Americana, country, folk, or a mixture of all three. Prine, 73, had been battling against complications stemming from the coronavirus since late last month. His death was confirmed by his publicist.

Prine had battled cancer twice — throat cancer in 1998, and lung cancer in 2013 — and underwent hip surgery in February.

Prine was hospitalized last week after falling ill and put on a ventilator Saturday night, according to a statement from his family.

Prine’s wife and manager, Fiona, announced on March 17 that she had tested positive for the virus after they had returned from a European tour. She has since recovered.

The country-folk legend, who was considered one of the all-time American songwriters, was responsible for penning and singing songs like “Sam Stone” and “Paradise”. His career spanned several decades and earned him many accolades, including two Grammys.

Sadly, Prine is now one of the bigger musical stars to succumb to the coronavirus, though he’s certainly not the first. Earlier this month, Fountains of Wayne cofounder and “Stacy’s Mom” writer Adam Schlesinger died from coronavirus complications at age 52. And earlier today, Saturday Night Live music supervisor Hal Willner was also pronounced dead after an unsuccessful fight against COVID-19.

RIP John Prine.

Tierra Whack Flipped Alanis Morissette’s “Ironic” in New Self-Isolation Blues Anthem https://www.audiojuju.com/tierra-whack/ Mon, 30 Mar 2020 16:58:30 +0000 https://www.audiojuju.com/?p=816 Tierra Whack sampled  Alanis Morrisette’s classic for her cabin-fever inspired “Stuck,” dedicated to those in voluntary lockdown.

Pre-Covid-19, Whack unleashed a barrage of incredible music through her since-retired “Whack Wednesdays” series, which ultimately brought us tracks like “Wasteland” and “Unemployed.” Since then, it’s been relatively quiet on that front, though optimists might reason that Whack has been using the downtime to finesse her Whack World follow-up.

In the clip shared by the artist yesterday, she is seen presumably in her home, singing lines like, “Sick of being stuck in the house / I wanna go out now” and “Now is the time I’ve been losing my mind / I wanna see what’s going on outside” while making her way between the living room and the kitchen, washing her hands and stockpiling toilet paper.

“This song is dedicated to everyone on lockdown…,” the artist signed in the video, captioning the post “#STUCK.”

The new song is backed by Alanis Morissette’s instrumentals from her iconic 1996 track “Ironic.” So far, Morissette has yet to respond to Whack’s sample.

The rapper’s latest record was her full-length debut, Whack World.
