It's that time of year again...presenting our #GRAMMYs FYC issue with cover star @PUSHA_T

After Clipse and the classic 'Daytona,' Pusha T has reached his highest peak yet with 'It’s Almost Dry' — and he's still climbing.

'It’s Almost Dry' is a must-mention in any discussion about the #GRAMMYs – and @PUSHA_T tells us he'll be at the ceremony if it picks up a nod.

"I witnessed when hip-hop wasn’t shown on television...I want to show up, just to show how times have changed." rollingstone.com/music/music-fe… ImageImage
.@PUSHA_T talks about the drug trade in the Nineties and how the appeal of that largely profitable but dangerous business made him mature a lot faster.

"It grew me up super early. I was introduced to addiction. I was introduced to adolescent death."

.@PUSHA_T wants a full, proper Clipse reunion to happen, and says the ball is in No Malice's court.

"If I had it my way, it would be the Clipse. It’s really up to my brother." rollingstone.com/music/music-fe… ImageImage
In our cover story, @PUSHA_T tells us how he became "cocaine's Dr. Seuss," why he doesn't want a lifetime achievement award, growing up in Virginia, his relationship with @Pharrell, and more.

Think you know all the drama behind the Mamas and the Papas? Think again.

Michelle Phillips sits down with Rolling Stone to tell her story, 50 years after the group (along with her marriage) imploded.
trib.al/eiqQ5Xp
Often reduced to the beautiful blonde in a short-lived band, Michelle Phillips is much, much more than that.

"She swore to herself that she would never, ever be in a position again where she would be dependent on a man," says her daughter, Chynna Phillips

Soon after exiting the band for the first time, Michelle Phillips crashed a recording session and famously cried "I'll bury you all!"

Phillips is the last remaining Mama and Papa in 2022. "So far, so good," she says. rollingstone.com/music/music-fe… ImageImage

EXCLUSIVE: Emails obtained by Rolling Stone reveal how a group of county officials in Georgia tasked with protecting the election instead discussed a plan to pull sensitive data — and have taxpayers pay for it. trib.al/Fa10cRE
A pair of pro-Trump members of the county election board, alongside the election supervisor, plotted to hire a third-party tech firm to copy data from voting machines, the election server, and even iPhones used by election staff. trib.al/oA3YYkD
“My head is spinning. I can see no justification, legal or otherwise, for anyone to have a third party come in and access election equipment. It sounds like they tried to commit a crime,” an official for the Georgia secretary of state said rollingstone.com/politics/polit… Image

As it tries to deal with rules imposed by anti-abortion extremists in the state legislature, the University of Idaho has been pushed into bizarre contortions, and condom rules are just the beginning. trib.al/yrqLt3f
According to a memo from a university lawyer, state law now bans university staff from “promoting abortion” and providing birth control to prevent pregnancy. But condoms were probably OK if they were distributed to prevent STDs, the lawyer said. rollingstone.com/politics/polit… Image
University employees also “must remain neutral on the subject of abortion” in virtually any circumstance in which it might come up, or risk criminal prosecution, fines, jail time, and a lifetime ban on state employment, the lawyer wrote. trib.al/DpsOkgh
