Brockhampton performed their Roadrunner: New Light, New Machine deep cut “Don’t Shoot Up the Party” on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert Wednesday night.
The group opted to appear in a pretaped soundstage segment rather than perform live in front of an audience, as some artists are choosing to do now that Covid-19 precautions have begun rolling back. But the performance was better for it, as the boys of Brockhampton were able to spotlight the track’s full intensity in front of glitchy blue-and-purple LED screens.

I'm fully convinced Brockhampton remixed their song "Sugar" with Dua Lipa for me. Like, specifically me. What other explanation is there for two of my most played artists to suddenly collaborate? I've been secretly hoping Bh would do an unexpected mashup, and here we are now, jamming to the surprise altered R&b tune from their 2019 album, Ginger.
The track, which dropped on March 6, also features singers Jon B and Ryan Beatty, who was on the original version. After Ciarán "Bearface" McDonald opens with a nod to Usher's 1997 hit "Nice & Slow," Dua Lipa croons a verse, saying, "I move mountains on my own / Don't need nobody's help / I've been looking after me like only I can watch my back." And, yes, Joba even gets an added verse at the end (Where my Joba stans at?!). Meanwhile, the accompanying visual simply shows Matt Champion sitting on a basketball hoop, rocking his signature cool,...

The 13-member Brockhampton collective are usually described as a pan-racial, non-heteronormative, self-proclaimed “boy band,” a rap group born on the internet and destined for pop domination. All of this obscures what Brockhampton truly is: a savvy, decent alternative rap group who understands the modern cyber-grind. Their output is staggering, a perfect model for the era of content: In two years they’ve released five albums, 20+ music videos, and have starred on their own Viceland TV show. Fifth album Ginger is more proof that they have absorbed all the Very Now...

From the beginning, Brockhampton had an ending in mind. It’s unconventional — and slightly macabre — for a boy band to have their breakup planned out in advance, but knowing when to bow out always seemed smarter than imploding.
“We’ve talked about it since before we even put out Saturation 1,” Kevin Abstract, the group’s leader, says. “We’ve always known we didn’t want to do this forever as a group. So it’s like, let’s make the best of this opportunity and this moment. See how much...

Brockhampton bring a small marching band and people coated in blue paint to a sprawling field in the video for their new song, “If You Pray Right.” The track is set to appear on the group’s forthcoming album, Ginger, out later this month.
“If You Pray Right” is centered around a skittish drum groove, a queasy synth and a delightfully boozy trombone riff that’s as good as an excuse as any to get a small marching band to follow Dom McLennon as he spits the song’s opening verse in the video.
