Which Death Stranding 2 Edition Should You Buy?
Death Stranding 2: On the Beach will launch on June 26 exclusively for the PlayStation 5, but those who buy a special edition of the game can access it early. The question is, with three options available, which special edition version should you get? Death Stranding 2 is the sequel to legendary developer Hideo Kojima's 2019 game, and it improves on every aspect of the original, making it a title anyone remotely interested in it should play. The edition you decide to purchase will entirely depend on how much of a fan you are of the franchise. Now Playing: Unboxing the Death Stranding 2 PS5 Controller 00:45 Up first is the Standard Edition, which retails for $70. Ordering the Standard Edition of Death Stranding 2 from Sony comes with the same 48-hour early access that all editions have, which will begin at 12 a.m. ET on June 24 and 9 p.m. ET on June 23. Kojima Productions Included in this edition is some additional digital content: Quokka Hologram Battle Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Boost Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Bokka Skeleton: Silver (LV1, LV2, LV3) Holograms get unlocked the more you play through the game. These holograms can be placed at structures that the main character, Sam, builds as a little sign that you were there. Skeletons are equippable and help Sam physically while allowing him to carry more items. The Battle Skeleton lets Sam do more damage with physical attacks, the Boost Skeleton helps Sam run faster while carrying a lot of items and the Bokka Skeleton helps Sam climb up certain terrains while being more balanced, so he won't tip over. This content, however, is just a cosmetic color for the Skeleton. It will not unlock the item, as that has to be done by completing missions in the game. Next, there's the Digital Deluxe Edition for $80. Kojima Productions The Digital Deluxe Edition includes the 48-hour early access and the Skeleton cosmetics, although in this edition, it's gold and not silver. This edition also comes with: Machine Gun (MP Bullets) LV1 early unlock Quokka Patch Chiral Feline Patch Why Me? Patch The Machine Gun is a weapon you get later in the game, and it's powerful thanks to its large magazine filled with bullets. It can shoot for longer than the Assault Rifle found early in the game. MP Bullets are the standard type of bullets found in the game that can damage humans, BTs and robots. The patches are for Sam's backpack. They are strictly cosmetic and offer no in-game advantage. Then, for the big fans of Death Stranding, there's the Collector's Edition that costs $230. Kojima Productions The Collector's Edition comes with all the digital content from the Deluxe Edition in addition to some real-life collectibles in a collector's box. It includes: 15-inch Magellan Man Statue 3-inch Dollman figurine Art cards Letter from Hideo Kojima All of these editions are available to order now.

Lil Tecca Explains Why He Changed Creative Direction and How ‘Grand Theft Auto' Influenced His New Album
Lil Tecca has come a long way from his 'Ransom' days. The 2019 breakout hit, which is now 7x platinum-certified by the RIAA, is uncharacteristically bubbly compared to the vibe of his latest album Dopamine. In retrospect, Tec was just 16-years-old when he made that song, springing from bar to bar with a hopeful exuberance only found in childhood. 'I want all the diamonds, I want that s—t to weigh a ton,' he croons. Well, now at 22, with four top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 to his credit, he very much has the diamonds. But aside from some pearls draped around his neck during his visit to the Billboard offices, Lil Tecca opts for a more relaxed demeanor. As Dopamine explores through its seedier backdrops, the realities of fame aren't as glamorous as 16-year-old Tec had been led to believe. 'Been a while, I been goin' through the bulls—t,' he raps on 'Hollywood.' More from Billboard U.K. Prime Minister on Kneecap's Glastonbury Set: 'I Don't Think That's Appropriate' Fans Choose KATSEYE's 'Gabriela' as This Week's Favorite New Music Jay-Z Joins Beyoncé for 'Crazy in Love' & More in Surprise Duet in Paris His 2025 hit 'Dark Thoughts' — which brought him back to the Hot 100's top 40 for the first time since 'Ransom,' peaking at No. 28 thusfar — continues those trends, driven by a funky bassline more than a SoundCloud-era hi-hats. Dopamine itself flows more like a never ending radio station, embalmed with the sounds of disco, funk, Afrobeats, R&B and more. The sequencing of it was very intentional, with Tecca admitting he has been consuming a lot of music from classic alternative bands like Cocteau Twins, The Cure, Bad Brains and L7 to stay in the Dopamine mindset. Oh, and Grand Theft Auto. 'There were little details that they added to their soundtrack that I'm like, 'Okay, this is what makes a collection of songs a world,' Tecca said, admitting he pulled heavily from Vice City's radio stations. 'Like the interpolations in the middle, where the [DJ] is setting the tone, setting the mood, setting the stage, so that these roller coaster drops and rises aren't abrupt.' Lil Tecca sits with Billboard to talk his new album GTA, and how it feels being one of the youngest rappers in the game. On 'Dark Thoughts' you rap: 'My life changed so fast, that I don't even recognize myself from last year.' What was going on between and ? How exactly did your life change? We just learned a lot, [and] applied what we learned through the process to create Dopamine itself. World building aspects, leaning towards our own pleasures, overall just being more authentic to what we were putting out. What kind of music were you consuming during e's early days? There's a lot of different influences on this project. I was really listening to the Vice City soundtrack the whole time. Like ? How did you stumble back onto that? Yeah, Fever FM and Flash FM! Flash FM had all those discos vibes on it. I was just looking for soundtracks originally, and then once I stumbled on the Vice City soundtrack I just stuck with it throughout the process. How important was it to add those different influences to Dopamine? If I wasn't making it, I was just making sure I was consuming it. So it came off natural, cause that's where my taste was existing at that point. Off the wake up, I'm turning on the Vice City soundtrack. So by the time I get to recording, I already got my vibe set in a way. I knew ever since I heard the station on YouTube in its entirety that it was gonna be on top of the transitions. When you hear, like, the Fever FM and he's talking in the middle s—t I wouldn't even repeat on here, but it's very much you're not listening to the songs, you're listening to Fever FM. I wanted to implement that same vibe. You're not just listening to Dopamine, you're listening to a soundtrack. When did the creative direction of really start to show itself? We were making music from the point when Plan A was finished, but we didn't have the name Dopamine probably until, I'd say six months ago. That's really when the umbrella was formed. I've always just been interested in the brain and how it works and why it works and when I stumbled upon Dopamine that was where my interest peaked, honestly. With music being one of my forms of pleasure, calling it Dopamine was kind of my way of packaging all of that up into one body of work. So the process was really smooth. It was really authentic to all of us that were working on it. I think this was the fastest we got the album done. The transitions here from song to song feel very intentional. How important was the flow of the project when you were putting the album together? It was essential honestly, we had a certain amount of songs we thought was the sweet spot: which was 16. Regarding actually getting the track list done and quantifying how much we had left, that made it easier. 'Cause it was like, 'Okay, we have five songs that we really love. We know they're not coming off the track list, that means we just got nine more to make, or seven more or whatever the case may be.' So we were just checking off certain vibes as the process was flowing. The Afro vibe, R&B vibe and of course 'Dark Thoughts' was kinda a new sound for what Tecca is. So it sort of lifted the boundaries on what turns we could make this time around, on what's considered experimental. That's when you get the 'Favorite Lie' or the 'Irish Goodbye' because it's like, 'Okay, they like it, let's try a little bit more.' I love how it turned out. It turned out naturally. When it comes to talking about your music I feel like how young you are always becomes a part of the conversation. What's your relationship to your age and how people perceive your art based on your age? Do you ever feel it puts you in a box? No, not really. I did come up at a very young age but I don't even know if I see myself as a child prodigy by comparison. It doesn't annoy me at all, it's cool to me. With this pivot in sound, were you at all worried your fans wouldn't pivot and grow with you? I knew they would love it, and I knew that it was time to pivot in certain directions to show what we have to offer. In the booth we have so many different vibes and so many different sonic identities that we tap into, but I thought it was definitely time to show a different side and I feel like the fans perceived it really well. Why is Ken Carson the only feature on the project? You don't really tap into features that often on your projects. I make a lot of my music just in my room, and to me music is a really personal thing. I'm not against features at all. I just let things happen when the time is right. I actually know Ken in real life, so it's a little bit different. It didn't just feel like we were just putting someone on the album. How do you feel about the state of rap right now? I haven't even sat down to think about it honestly because I've just been creating so much. But I would definitely say it's in a cool place, things are changing faster than ever right now, but that's just what rap is. Coming out of the SoundCloud era, do you ever worry about getting left behind because things are changing so quickly? I just kinda try to do my own thing. When you're in your own lane, you can choose when to speed up or slow down, but when you're in traffic you gotta swerve around and find your way through. When you alienate the people that won't understand, on the other side it might be hate or whatever the case might be, but it only lets the people that truly understand you gravitate towards you more. What have you learned about yourself and your music just from going from 16 to now? You can only learn so much at once. A lot of lessons come through one bit at a time. You just gotta charge it to the game a lot of the times. You might run into an obstacle that at the time you don't have the tools to hop over, and you might fall. Just make sure when you get up, you don't fall twice from the same thing. Coming in this at a young age, we don't have any big bros or OGs to tell us, 'This is what's gonna happen when you do this.' So a lot of the times, keep going and when you fall get back up. We just make sure we don't fall twice, because obstacles are unavoidable. We just make sure to learn these lessons one at a time.

As Sean Combs Took a Victory Lap, He Planned Sex Nights, Prosecutors Say
It was September 2023, and Sean Combs was on top of the world. On the 12th day of that month, he accepted the global icon award at the MTV Video Music Awards, which recognized Mr. Combs's decades of success as a trailblazing record producer and media mogul. Three days later, he released 'The Love Album: Off the Grid,' his first solo studio LP in 17 years, and Mayor Eric Adams of New York gave him the key to the city, recognizing Mr. Combs as 'the embodiment of the New York City attitude.' That month, Mr. Combs was also busy planning sexual encounters involving his girlfriend 'Jane' and hired male escorts, at hotels in New York and Miami Beach, Fla. These encounters, which the government has described as elaborate, drug-fueled sex marathons with hired men that Mr. Combs coerced two women to participate in, are central to the government's case, which charges Mr. Combs with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. The arrangements for those encounters — flight plans, hotel reservations, negotiations over escort rates and a web of payments — were laid out in detail at Mr. Combs's trial on Monday. Maurene Comey, the lead prosecutor in the case, asked a special agent with Homeland Security Investigations to walk jurors through the planning of the events by reading from text messages, American Express bills and other records as the 34th and final witness for the government before it rests its case. Mr. Combs has pleaded not guilty and denied the accusations against him. His lawyers have argued consistently throughout the seven-week trial that Mr. Combs's sexual arrangements were all consensual, and that no criminal conspiracy exists. Want all of The Times?
