6 years ago today, K/DA released “THE BADDEST.” The track became a major crossover hit, reaching #1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart.

I wanted to share a bit of a eulogy for Riot Forge. When I was asked to take over what eventually became the entertainment branch of Riot, it was on three conditions: let me manage the budget, keep tv and film as part of the initiative, and let us start a small games arm.

Making music completely changed my life. Before starting next chapter, we’re launching the "Giving Beck" foundation. To begin, we will be donating fully equipped music production studios, along with the support of a music teacher, to any orphanage in the Czech Republic that submits an application with motivation letter and is approved by our team. We have already initiated a pilot program in one orphanage to gather feedback and improve the concept for the best impact. With this studio setup, everyone has the potential to create world class music. It was also inspired by Billie Eilish early studio setup. If even one person discovers their life passion in music as it happened to me years ago, I would consider the "Giving Beck" foundation a success. Wish us luck!🤞

A huge thank you to @100Thieves, @Zedd, @NoahJ456, and everyone who turned up for CITY OF GAMES. Our goal was to gather the gaming industry of LA together all under one roof - from creators, founders, platforms, and investors. Mission accomplished! 📸 : @LoganDodson

We were so worried about releasing music for the first time without a label in almost a decade. But waking to our first new music Friday in AGES and tons of playlisting is such a dream. ATC independent era is gonna fucking POP OFF.

We are so excited that our song "Dirty Little Animals" is a part of the @arcaneshow series. “Dirty Little Animals” is the anthem of the underneath. It's about all the fun you can have in the dark… for sometimes it’s only there that we can truly be free.

Getting to work alongside @praeco, @PitmanDrums, @RichXerath, and @AtlanKeys again is a wonderful thing—but I gotta give it up to @TreWatsonMusic, our newest member who joined on for PK3. This album is the best we ever sounded and a huge part of that goes to Tre. Love ya, Morde.
