Apple might be making exclusive Apple Music content in-house

Very recently, Drake just unveiled an Apple Music-exclusive video for his new song "Energy," which is off his If You're Reading This It's Too Late album. According to Pitchfork, the new video was reportedly made in-house, which was also the case with music videos for other exclusive debuts like Pharrell's "Freedom" and Eminem's "Phenomenal." Apple is reportedly working  on M.I.A.'s "Matahdatah Scroll 01 Broader Than a Border," which should come out on July 13, Monday. 

Pitchfork said when they tried to reach out to Larry Jackson, head of content for Apple Music, he responded with a tweet that had the hashtags Content, Culture, Curation, and a link to the video. It also took a dig at Spotify CEO's "Oh ok" tweet that came out when Apple Music debuted. It would make sense for Apple to try and make exclusive content. First, they have the budget and means for it. Second, it would help them lure more people to use their service instead of the likes of Spotify and Tidal.

Behind-the-scenes reel of new 'Star Wars' film shows new details

Fresh out  of the San Diego Comic Con, we get more details or at least a behind-the-scenes look at the upcoming Star Wars film a.k.a. Star Wars: The Force Awakens. And we have to say we're pretty stoked with what we're seeing so far. We get soundbites from some of the fresh faces on the franchise and just see actors and crew members being generally excited to be working on a Star Wars set. We see the likes of Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford on set. Peter Mayhew inside the iconic Chewbacca costume. And yes, we see a lot of alien costumes, droids, storm troopers, TIE Fighters, and the comeback of the Millennium Falcon with a new pilot onboard. 

There seems to be an emphasis on mixing pre-digital and digital effects into this film. And the J.J. Abrams-led film is stressing how they're building real sets and using pre-digital means to make this film happen.
