Coskun Celebrates 150 Million TikTok Views for ‘Angels & Tears' with Jazzy Hip-Hop Lo-Fi Breakthrough
LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM, March 8, 2025 / EINPresswire.com / -- London-based music producer and beatmaker Coskun is drawing industry attention with his viral hit ' Angels & Tears,' a jazzy hip-hop lo-fi track that has surpassed 150 million views on TikTok. With over two decades of experience mastering Pro Tools and FL Studio, Coskun has also amassed more than five million combined streams for tracks produced for various artists, solidifying his status as a rising force in today's music scene. Known for crafting infectious beats and industry-level productions, Coskun continues to push boundaries in hip-hop, melodic pop, lo-fi, and experimental sounds—an unmistakable signature that resonates with both casual listeners and dedicated fans.
Viral Success Fueled by Gaming & Social Media
'Angels & Tears' received an unexpected boost from a RAID: Shadow Legends TikTok ad, which paired Coskun's gritty yet smooth beat with the game's energetic visuals. The result was an explosive spike in user engagement, catapulting the track to viral status. Coskun credits his loyal supporters and the power of social media for this milestone, stating, 'Reaching 150 million views feels unreal. I'm grateful for everyone who has streamed, liked, or shared the track. It's proof that genuine creativity can connect with people on a massive scale.'
Deep Musical Roots & Expanding Reach
Coskun's passion for music dates back to childhood, when he began experimenting with his father's cassette player at the age of four. Over two decades later, his breadth of experience spans multiple genres, from hard-hitting hip-hop to melodic pop and experimental soundscapes. Despite his success, Coskun remains keenly focused on growth, with the goal of extending his audience reach and credibility.
Behind the Scenes: Industry Credits & Challenges
Having produced tracks that launched the careers of numerous emerging artists, Coskun has encountered the pitfalls of an often uncredited role in production. 'I've offered countless singers their first beats and initial platform,' he says. 'Watching them take off without a mention stung, so I chose to concentrate on collaborations with those who appreciate the work. Now that 'Angels & Tears' is taking off, it's my turn to shine.'
A Sound TikTok Can't Resist
With an irresistibly chill yet dynamic sound, 'Angels & Tears' has become a backdrop for all types of TikTok content, including comedic sketches and heartwarming pet clips. 'The videos are pure gold,' Coskun observes. 'Seeing people enjoy my lo-fi track in so many creative ways keeps me inspired. This is exactly why I love producing music—connecting with the world through sound.'
Looking Forward
Coskun remains in the studio, cooking up new tracks that build on the momentum of 'Angels & Tears.' He continues to focus on forging genuine partnerships and producing boundary-pushing music. 'I'm about collaboration with artists and creators who truly understand the vision,' he notes. 'The next chapter is about growth, authenticity, and celebrating the journey.'

Molly Gordon kidnaps Logan Lerman in ‘Oh, Hi!' trailer. Fans are still on her side.
The new movie Oh, Hi!, which just dropped a trailer that suggests that Misery really could have been a romantic comedy with the right approach. It's a classic tale: Girl meets boy. Boy invites girl on their first weekend away as a couple. Girl playfully ties boy to the bed … only for him to inform her, while he's still handcuffed, that he's actually not looking for a relationship right now. Naturally, girl never gets those handcuff keys, and boy remains tied to the bed. Yikes! Oh, Hi!, which debuted earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival, is directed by Sophie Brooks and co-written by The Bear's Molly Gordon. It stars Gordon as Iris, a girl who completely misinterpreted her situationship's intentions on their weekend getaway. Logan Lerman, meanwhile, plays the commitment-phobic Isaac, who Iris believed was her boyfriend. But Iris isn't an idiot: He took her on this trip! He made her scallops! If all that evidence wasn't proof the two were on the road to love, she's not sure what is. And with Isaac still handcuffed after their whole 'what are we?!' conversation went horribly awry, she has a plan: She'll do whatever she can to make him want to take the next step in their relationship — as long as he doesn't find a way to call the police first. While the movie doesn't exactly frame Iris as of sound mind here, people who watched the movie trailer really seem to get her plight. Sure, many people in the comments section on YouTube pointed to Iris's deranged behavior, which some said would have been interpreted much more negatively had the gender roles been reversed. However, others totally understood where Iris is coming from: 'The way that this made me feel valid for my situationship telling me he wasn't ready for a relationship after being super romantic with me and feeling like I was going insane,' one person wrote in the YouTube comments. Meanwhile, on TikTok, there were lots of Iris sympathizers. One called her reaction a 'rational response, [to be honest]' while another said that they 'support women's rights and wrongs' before adding, 'but idk she may be right.' 'Totally get where she's coming from,' one commenter declared, while another admitted, 'I'd crash out too if Logan Lerman said that to me.' 'Sending this to everyone i've ever had a situationship with thanks,' one joked, while another said they were just 'one more situationship' away from becoming Iris. It's a perspective Gordon and Brooks understand. In an interview with Deadline earlier this year, Gordon spoke about how the idea for the film came about after she and Brooks both went through breakups. 'We kind of wanted to make something about the communication breakdown of our generation,' Gordon explained. 'I mean, it's always been ridiculously hard to date, but we do feel like it might be the hardest that it's ever been, and we just wanted to kind of poke fun at all the funny experiences that we've had and our friends have had.' In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, Brooks said of the film: 'I think a lot of things in our culture about women pursuing love and wanting love become desperate or sad or embarrassing, and it's romantic for a man to be pursuing love and wanting a partner, and it's sad and desperate for a woman to want it. I really push against that. Part of being a human is wanting connection and I think it was exciting for us to kind of lean into some tropes that we thought were funny and absurd. Molly and I talk about how this movie is — If we were 10% crazy, what would we do?' Whether Iris is 10% crazy or a bit larger of a percentage is up for audiences to decide, of course — and how she gets out of the situation with Isaac, ideally alive, is anyone's guess. Oh, Hi! hits theaters on July 25.

Walmart's Billionaire Heiress Buys Full-Page Ad Urging People To ‘Mobilize' At June 14 Anti-Trump Protests
BEVERLY HILLS, CA - AUGUST 16: Producer Christy Walton attends the 28th Annual Imagen Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on August 16, 2013 in Beverly Hills, California. (Photo by Alberto E. Rodriguez/Getty Images) Getty Images Walmart heiress Christy Walton, one of the richest women in America, has joined a small group of billionaires speaking out against President Donald Trump. The 76-year-old Walton, who is worth an estimated $19.3 billion according to Forbes, paid to take out a full-page advertisement in The New York Times on Sunday calling on readers to 'mobilize' on Saturday, June 14. The advertisement appears to be an escalation of one she paid for in March, also in The Times print edition. At the top of the ad are the words 'No Kings,' which appear to reference a political organization that's coordinating hundreds of anti-Trump protests across the U.S. this Saturday, June 14, the same day Trump is slated to host a military parade in Washington, D.C.. Organizers of the counter-protests told Axios they are expecting this to be the largest single-day rally since the start of the administration. No Kings spokesperson Andrew Cook told Forbes there will be more than 1,800 events across the country. (The group is not planning a protest in D.C. as part of their plan to 'make action everywhere else.') 'In America, we don't do kings,' reads the No Kings website. 'They've defied our courts, deported Americans, disappeared people off the streets, attacked our civil rights, and slashed our services.' Walton's exact involvement in the group isn't clear, but she is listed as the sponsor of the New York Times advertisement, which lists eight different principles she supports – from caring for 'veterans and children' to defending 'against the aggression of dictators.' 'We are the people of the United States of America. The honor, dignity, and integrity of our country are not for sale,' reads the ad. The full-page ad that ran in The New York Times print edition on Sunday. Kerry Dolan 'I saw the ads Ms. Walton placed in newspapers this past weekend,' Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, one of the organizations partnering with No Kings to organize the anti-Trump protests, told Forbes in an emailed statement. 'People from all walks of life support No Kings because our country was founded on the idea that presidents answer to the people – not to authoritarian overreach or violence.' Walton owns an estimated 1.9% stake in Walmart, which she inherited after her husband, John Walton, died in a plane crash in 2005. John Walton was one of four children of Sam Walton, the founder of the Bentonville, Arkansas-based retailer. John's siblings – Rob, Jim and Alice – are among the top 15 richest people in the world, worth at least $100 billion apiece. Christy's 38-year-old son Lukas is also a billionaire after inheriting an estimated 3.7% of Walmart upon his father's death. Lukas runs the sustainability-focused philanthropic investment platform Builders Vision and is worth some $39.6 billion, according to Forbes. Despite having a notable stake in Walmart, Christy Walton has never had any role in running the retailer, which has recently clashed publicly with the Trump administration. Last month, Trump threatened Walmart, the nation's largest retailer, after its CEO Doug McMillon warned about raising prices in response to Trump's tariffs. 'EAT THE TARIFFS,' Trump said in a Truth Social post calling out Walmart. 'I'll be watching, and so will your customers!!!' Walton hasn't directly criticized Trump. However, she reportedly co-hosted a fundraiser for Trump's Democratic opponent Kamala Harris in Jackson Hole last September. She also gave more than $700,000 in political donations last year, according to Federal Election Commission data reviewed by Forbes. This includes $100,000 to WelcomePAC, a political action committee focused on helping the Democratic Party reach 'mainstream Americans,' and $200,000 to The Lincoln Project, a 'pro-democracy' PAC formed by former conservatives. In March, Walton paid for another full-page ad in The New York Times. It looks similar to the June 8 ad – with the same eight core principles and image of the Statue of Liberty – but made no mention of No Kings. It instead encouraged readers to 'attend your town halls, be civil.' Walton is one of very few billionaires to vocalize opposition against Trump despite a controversial first first few months in office due to tariffs, immigration crackdowns and unprecedented attacks against some of the country's most prestigious universities. Last Thursday, Ken Griffin, founder of the $63 billion ( assets) Citadel hedge fund and a major GOP donor, joined the small group of critics taking aim at Trump – specifically, his 'Big Beautiful Bill,' which Griffin argued at the 2025 Forbes Iconocolast Summit in Manhattan 'will unquestionably add several trillion dollars' to the federal budget deficit. The financier, who voted for Trump in 2024, also called out the president for attacking McMillon, the Walmart CEO. 'We should not be criticizing CEOs for being honest, right? And that's all the CEO of Walmart was doing' Griffin said on stage at the summit. 'Shame on the administration.' Illinois Governor JB Pritzker, an heir to the Hyatt Hotel fortune who is worth an estimated $3.7 billion, has been perhaps the most vocal critic of Trump. The billionaire governor blasted Trump in April during a fiery speech at a fundraising event in New Hampshire, calling for mass protests and disruptions. 'We will fight their cruelty with every megaphone and microphone we have.' The next month, Pritzker described the Trump administration as 'authoritarian' during an appearance on the Jimmy Kimmel talk show. Others billionaires taken specific issue with Trump's tariff policy, including Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JPMorgan Chase, who warned in his letter to shareholders that tariffs would raise prices. Representatives for Walton and Walmart did not respond to Forbes' request for comment prior to publication. There was also no response from the email address listed at the bottom of both Walton's ads.

Owner Wondered How Dog Was Escaping—Video Finally Provides the Answer
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. A viral video revealing a sneaky dog's escape route left viewers in stitches. A pet parent known on TikTok as @_mel_2025 couldn't understand how his Staffordshire bull terrier kept escaping from the yard. With a tall, fenced-in yard, he thought there was no way his dog could jump it. But after finally capturing the escape route on film, the owner was stunned. In the June 2 TikTok video, the owner watched his dog from inside. The staff ran up to the fence door before slowly backing away. He quickly looked around to make sure no one was watching. Once he thought he was in the clear, he sprinted to the door, but once again, he retreated as it wasn't quite right. He recalculated his steps, confirming it was the perfect amount to get full speed, and then he was off. In one swift leap, his front paws managed to reach the top of the gate. His strength pulled him the rest of the way with his back paws pushing for assistance. Then, he was off to freedom on the other side. Newsweek reached out to @_mel_2025 via TikTok for additional information. @_mel_2025 It's the walk back and thinking about his jump 👀🫣😅 Fyp Follow me for more content ♬ Mission Impossible - Adam Clayton The owner isn't surprised by his staffy's escape as it has happened multiple times before. He was never sure if the dog used to shed to help climb over. The door used to have diagonal braces on it, but the dog chewed through that several years ago, the owner wrote in a comment. The dog's impressive escape tactic took the internet by storm, surpassing over 1.4 million views and 75,900 likes on TikTok as of Tuesday. "Way he goes in, then goes back again for a better run up. That had me," said one viewer, while another added: "Pacing out the required number of steps is very impressive." A third person joked: "Lad looks like he's been doing pull-ups to prepare for the escape." Others suggested that the owner get a bigger fence to prevent this from happening again, to which he replied that he was already "in the process." He is waiting for fencing supplies to be delivered. Plus, he's looking into purchasing fence toppers, such as cat-proof rollers, that curve in toward the yard, making it, hopefully, impossible to get out. Screenshots from a June 2 TikTok video of a Staffordshire bull terrier counting his steps as his backs up from the fence and executes his escape plan.
