Is Daniel Caesar Teasing a New Album?
Daniel Caesarseems to be cooking something up. After recently contributing toBlood Orange's 'The Field' comeback track, Caesar appears to be plotting a grand return of his own; aside from a two-pack withRex Orange Countythat dropped this past Valentine's Day, Caesar has been quiet in terms of solo music since his most recent album,NEVER ENOUGH,in April of 2023. But that's about to change …
Caesar's new project is presumably titledSon of Spergy,the name used throughout Caesar's recent social media trailer and the URL of the album'sofficial website, which currently houses an embedded video of the trailer below as well as pre-save links to the project.
In the trailer, he also tagsBon Iver,Clairo,Dev Hynes,Sampha, Rex Orange County, and 646yf4t.
He first shared a 'trailer' of sorts on his Instagram feed (after clearing everything else from his grid), which also comes overlain with a lengthy message.
'I'm trying to write a letter announcing the album, but I want it to be profound and clever. I have this secret desire to think and express a thought that's never been thought before. But alas,' it begins.
'When I was little, any time my dad was disappointed in me or felt as though I needed motivation (or he wanted me to understand him, which I didn't at the time), he would tell me his carefully curated but true origin story. He would tell me of the glory days of the Jamaica tourism industry and how he would sing dinner music at Doctor's Cave Beach to foreigners from all over the world. He told me how a friendly couple from Canada heard him sing and brought him to Canada to sing on 3ABN (an Adventist TV station). This would spark his love for the country, and later, he would go on to move there and meet my mother. He would tell me these stories and I would listen uninterestedly due to having heard them 1000 times. He would warn me of the dangers this world had to offer, seemingly pleasant but in fact fleeting, and would encourage me to center God in my life.'
It closes out with: 'Everything is vanity. Family is everything. Be truthful and forthright in your dealings. Never forget that god is the only eternal measuring stick for morality. I am nothing, but in my flesh I am Spergy's Son, and in my spirit I am God's.'
Stay tuned as more information on the new album arises.

Hulk Hogan Biopic: Is it happening? Everything we know so far
The wrestling world is reeling from the news of Hulk Hogan's death. Terry Gene Bollea, the man behind the iconic 'Hulkamania' movement, passed away at 71 on July 24, 2025, leaving fans heartbroken and curious about the long-rumoured Hulk Hogan biopic. Was it ever going to happen? Let's dive into what we know about the status of that Hollywood project everyone was buzzing about. The Hulk Hogan Biopic Back in 2019, wrestling fans got hyped when Netflix announced a Hulk Hogan biopic. Picture this: Chris Hemsworth, the guy who plays Thor, stepping into the ring as Hogan, with Todd Phillips, the director behind Joker , calling the shots. The movie was supposed to focus on Hogan's rise in the 1980s, capturing the wild energy of 'Hulkamania' and his battles in and out of the ring. It sounded like a slam dunk, right? But here's the thing—it never happened. By 2024, Phillips broke the news that the project was dead in the water. 'It's not gonna come together,' he said, sounding as bummed as the rest of us. Some fans wondered if Hogan's recent political comments, like his jab at Kamala Harris during the 2024 RNC, tanked the deal. But posts on X and other reports clarified it was more about business disputes between Hogan and Netflix, with talks fizzling out as early as 2022. Hogan himself hinted at the trouble in a 2023 podcast, saying the project had been 'up and down' for years. Why Did the Biopic Fall Apart? So, what went wrong? It seems like a mix of behind-the-scenes drama and practical roadblocks. Negotiations between Hogan and Netflix hit a wall—maybe over money, creative control, or just bad timing. Hogan's life story isn't exactly straightforward, either. His highs, like headlining eight of the first nine WrestleManias, came with lows, like the 2015 scandal when leaked audio led to his temporary WWE ban over racial comments. Telling that story in a way that's honest but marketable? That's a tough script to write. Ahmedabad Plane Crash Aman Shukla is a post-graduate in mass communication .

‘The Fantastic Four: First Steps' Review: The Best Superhero Saga of the Year
Women with astonishing abilities are an essential component of superhero movies, but as 'Thunderbolts*' proved, the more effortlessly they shoot, kick and punch their way out of every situation, generally while firing off comical wisecracks to show us how bored they are with their own coolness, the less excitement they generate. 'The Fantastic Four: First Steps,' by contrast, zeroes in on a far more interesting superpower: creating new life. There's an extended sequence built around a hero going into labor in zero gravity while hurtling through the cosmos, and it exemplifies the movie's unusual feel: interstellar yet down-to-earth. Making your characters relatable, likable, charming and vulnerable might seem to be a fairly obvious assignment, but it conflicts with the comic-book-movie urge to make its characters completely and devastatingly awesome. In getting back to basics, 'First Steps' proves to be easily the best superhero movie of the year.

Top AEW Superstar Dealing With Serious Injury
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. AEW star Will Ospreay has confirmed that he is dealing with a legitimate and serious neck injury. On the July 23rd episode of AEW Dynamite, Ospreay made his first appearance since the All In pay-per-view to deliver a difficult and honest update on his health. In an emotional in-ring promo segment with Tony Schiavone, Ospreay revealed the nature of the injury. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has since confirmed that the injury is legitimate and not part of a storyline. Ospreay told the live crowd that he has been struggling with neck issues for about ten months but has been keeping the pain to himself. After being taken to the emergency room following the attack at All In, an MRI revealed the severity of the damage. He announced that he has two herniated discs (C2 and C6) that are pushing into his spinal cord. Despite the serious nature of the diagnosis, Ospreay offered a glimmer of hope. Ospreay said that doctors have told him the ailments are treatable and that he hopes to be ready to compete at next month's AEW x NJPW Forbidden Door event in his home country of England. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. All Elite Wrestling ALL IN at Wembley Stadium in London on August 27, 2023. Courtesy of AEW More news: WWE Superstar Announces Retirement Match Neck injuries are among the most feared in professional wrestling, often altering or ending careers. The news is especially concerning given Ospreay's breathtaking, high-impact in-ring style. Known as the "Aerial Assassin," his matches are a whirlwind of acrobatic, high-risk maneuvers that put immense strain on his neck and spine. For years, fans and critics have marveled at his ability to perform moves like the Stormbreaker and the OsCutter, while also worrying about the long-term physical toll. This injury appears to be the unfortunate result of that punishing style. AEW is using the brutal storyline attack from the All In: Texas pay-per-view as the on-screen explanation for the injury. At the event, after Ospreay had already competed in a grueling tag team match, he got involved in the main event. He was then attacked by the Death Riders faction, with Claudio Castagnoli stomping his head through a steel chair. The violent angle wrote Ospreay off television and now serves as the justification for his real-life injury. After his promo on Dynamite, his All In tag team partner, Swerve Strickland, came out to the stage to embrace him in a sign of support. The wrestling world now wishes one of its best performers a full and speedy recovery. More WWE News: For more on WWE, head to Newsweek Sports.
