SLAM DUNK: ZEROBASEONE Made a Basketball Game Feel Like a Nine-Man Last Summer RaeRae Reacts “SLAM DUNK” is three minutes of sneakers squeaking, brass punching through the beat, and nine men acting like the backboard personally offended them.

Surfin’ Boy
Red Velvet turn a bossa-nova summer flirtation into a beach-bar mystery with Joy’s lyrics, Yeri’s crossbow, stacked vocals, and several surfers who should probably call home.
