Lil Yachty is back with his first new song of 2025, “Murda,” which features a prominent sample of Maggie Rogers’ breakthrough 2016 song, “Alaska.”

The two-minute track is built around a loop of Rogers’ vocal hook from “Alaska,” which gets chopped up and utilized in a few different ways, sometimes drifting breezily through the atmospheric production, sometimes whirring wildly like a siren.

Java Films, a leading global documentary sales company based in Paris, France, has acquired world rights, excluding the countries of co-production, as well as Czech TV rights, to director Yegor Troyanovsky’s feature documentary “Cuba & Alaska” ahead of the film’s world premiere at Sheffield Doc Fest. The first look trailer has been released.

The film, which will also screen at the Brussels Intl. Film Festival in the Directors’ Week Competition, is an intimate and often darkly humorous profile of two female Ukrainian medics, “Cuba”(Yulia Sidorova) and “Alaska” (Olexandra), on the frontlines of the war. Mostly comprising footage from phones and GoPro cameras attached to their helmets and chests, the film offers rare access to the medics’ daily lives, their reliance on each other and a testament to the camaraderie required to survive in this world.

The film is produced by Olha Bregman for 2Brave Productions (Ukraine), Christian Popp...

“Welcome to Berniechella,” Maggie Rogers told a crowd of an estimated 36,000 people as she took to the stage at Gloria Molina Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles on Saturday afternoon.

Indeed, those in L.A. who didn’t make the trek down to Coachella this weekend still had a chance at a star-studded show as Rogers, Neil Young and Joan Baez all performed at Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s L.A. stop on their Fighting Oligarchy tour, calling upon all in attendance to take on President Donald Trump and the billionaire class supporting his administration.

“We are going to make our revolution with joy,” Sanders told the crowd as he thanked the musicians who played before his speech. “We’re going to sing and dance our way to victory against hatred and divisiveness.”
