A Talented Las Vegas Teen “Rae Milli” is Ready to Shine Bright in a City Full of Stars

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Music

Rae Milli, born Aiyana Evans, is creating a major buzz in a lot of music circles. A Las Vegas native who has been singing and dancing since she could walk has recently signed her first recording contract. 

Being willing to bet on herself and follow her passion for creating music caused her to turn down four volleyball scholarships after graduating high school last year. That talent and passion got the attention of indie label Evo Music Group which recently signed her and made Rae the first lady of EMG.

Her versatile flow and ability to sing and rap have drawn some high praise and comparisons. When asked about the fact that some of her work reminds people of a female Drake, Rae laughed and said “Hold up now, don’t go that far. Drake is an icon, I’m just getting started.”

Her humbleness is refreshing in this age of industry and social media bravado. She attributes that to her mother and father who keep her grounded. “My mom and dad are my biggest supporters but they say they keep the safety pin to pop my head if it gets too big,” Rae says as she shakes her head.

After hearing some of her newly mastered songs and the vision of which current big names are going to be on which ones, I’m predicting that Rae will soon be shining bright not just in Las Vegas but in the industry as a whole.

Rapper Goonew Big Wick Shot Dead in District Heights

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Maryland rapper Goonew Big Wick has died after being shot in District Heights. Law enforcement has not identified the suspect in the killing.

Several outlets have reported tragic news.

The Washington Post says a Black man the streets are saying is Big Wick, was murdered on the 3400 block of Walters Lane in the City of District Heights on Friday, Mar. 18 at 5:40 p.m. 

The buzzing rapper was rushed to a local hospital, but medical professionals could not save his life.

The crime scene is thought to be a residential street near the edge of a commercial area just south of Pennsylvania Avenue. 

The rising star had three songs of note, “Dance Party,” “Flip Phone,” and “Stain,” which set him up for a promising career. 

During an interview with AllHipHop, Goonew explained his upbringing in Forrest Creek, Maryland. 

“It’s like any hood neighborhood that’s tough growing up,” Goonew told AllHipHop.com. “Police mess with you all day, there’s shootouts, robbery, all types of stuff going on. You have to move and know what you’re doing.”

The rapper’s Instagram, which boasts about 156K followers and only has two posts, has been flooded with red hearts, white doves, and #RIPs for the slain soldier.

His last picture was posted the day before his death. It is a picture of him in a black and white outfit, looking as if he was cradling cough syrup or a. Pedialyte bottle.

Jayda Cheaves Hints At Lil Baby Break Up: I Post My Own Tea

By: Niki Gatewood (@THE_NikiG)Category: Rumors

For years, Jayda Cheaves has invested her time into her burgeoning relationship with Lil Baby. In fact, from this partnership the pair are diligently working to raise their son. However, yesterday (March 18), she hinted at a romantic break up offering the cryptic message, “I post my own tea.”

Generally speaking, no relationship is without its faults. Yet, the reoccurring cheating allegations may have added to this decision to part ways. So, the fashion influencer is candidly sharing her narrative.

The Declaration

Initially, an infamous slow clap GIF introduces the announcement. “I’m finally standing up,” offered the beauty boss. As a matter of fact, the following posts to her Instagram stories seem to detail her heartache.

Soon, to the public, she offers sage advice. “Everything comes to an end. Never force it. Be happy,” reads the stark message.

Moreover, she mentions what action that she is willing to take in order to maintain her composure. “I’m willing to [X] anybody out for my happiness and peace,” four crying emojis are used to help emphasize her point. Next, Jayda Wayda demonstrates sheer vulnerability.

“I post my own [tea] so I can clown myself before i get clowned,” admits Ms. Cheaves. Cuz shiddddd it’s cold out here — ion know how this [sh*t] gon go,” reads the reflective message.

In recent past, the emerging entrepreneur endured very public issues concerning Lil Baby’s alleged infidelity. Although, a lavish lifestyle accompanied her partnership, it may not be rich enough to silence any lingering doubts.

The Response

Following Jayda’s apparent break-up post, Lil Baby, did not wait to publicly reply. “WHEN A MF THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH ME,” the cocky caption reads. In fact, the happy feet seemingly depict his confident exit from the relationship. Be that as it may, Jayda Cheaves has more to share.

“THINK THEY CAN PLAY WITH YOU? LMFAO YOU PLAYED WITH ME FOR 6 YEARS STRAIGHT. I TEXT A N*GGA BACK NOW YOUR CHEST HURT. BYE,” she writes in the matter-of-fact clap back.

Ultimately, both of these two chose to delete their last social media responses. So, this time, are they actually romantically done with each other?

EXCLUSIVE: Dot Demo Restores Lyricism To The Bronx

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: Features

The Bronx is the birthplace of emceeing.

And in the congested world of rap music, it is easy to forget the value of the lyric and the presence of the lyricist.

Quick beats and catchy phrases saturate the radio, making it hard for artists, who are remotely connected to the artistic foundation, to feel lost in the proverbial sauce. Let’s face it … who cares if you can rhyme?

Well, Dot Demo not only reminds the culture that there are artists that care but reminds the fan of reasons to care.

In his exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, the artist talks about his latest project 93Hunnit, and the process to bring it to the world.

A 16-piece opus, he talks shares how the legacy of being a Bronx rapper helped him craft his project into something that multiple generations could relate to.

“I am telling you; I grew up really weird,” he shares in an exclusive interview with journalist Nikki Duncan-Smith.

He spoke about growing up in an Afro-Latino family and drawing from his Southern heritage and his Boricua roots.  At any given time, his pro-Black grandfather would be breaking down the necessity of nation-building in the house, but outside of the house, he would be taught how to survive in Soundview streets.

Check out his interview and peep all the fascinating elements that made him into the artist that he is, including fatherhood, group affiliations, and more.

Dot Demo co-produced two tracks on the album, while his brother RUNITUPDAY! captured the essence of aesthetically pleasing Lo-Fi Hip Hop on nine of the songs, alongside work from Don The Jeweler, Pacino Tha Plug, Rizzy 2 Times, Ya Drunk Uncle, Beats By Day, and Stab Production.

Game Suggests Trevor Noah Blocked Kanye From Performing At Grammy’s

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper The Game took to social media to blast The Recording Academy for disinviting Kanye West from performing at this year’s Grammy Awards show. 

Game wrote a lengthy caption next to a meme that says, “When will all the BLACK entertainers, Athletes, Actors, Producers, Writers, Directors, Media etc… figure it out.” 

The West Coast rapper broke down his feelings about Kanye being marked because he speaks out.

Mr. Los Angeles Confidential wrote, “Time & time again they show us that they only want to STEAL the culture, not allow you to ever be their equals. In a more than obvious move for reasons of minuscule actions … The Grammys have at the last minute decided to pull @kanyewest from performing on the show as if we didn’t know it was coming.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/CbRO2vfL5sd/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link

“Could be because @trevornoah is hosting and there was a conversation held amongst his team & the academy that led to the decision or because Ye’s account was suspended just days ago for reasons unknown,” the West Coast rapper rationalized.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, Kanye West had launched a bigoted rant about Noah on Instagram, causing Ye to be suspended from the platform. 

Noah responded saying he’s a huge fan of the rapper and that it “breaks” his “heart to see” the artist “like this.“

In his response, Trevor Noah tried said, “don’t ever forget, the biggest trick racists ever played on Black people was teaching us to strip each other of our Blackness whenever we disagree.”

The Game, who has been collaborating with Kanye West over the last few months, said that these industry giants have been able to disrespect artists and what they have “brought to the table in entertainment, media & sports over the last 100 years.”

He suggested that Kanye won’t be performing because he boldly speaks his mind, something the decision-makers do not appreciate.

“Speak your mind in this country for yourself, family or your people & you’re ostracized immediately & if you push them hard enough they will stop at no ends to try and put an end to you as a whole,” Game said.

“I for one, have never been scared to speak my mind even understanding what the consequences may be,” the artist continued. “I can’t sleep at night knowing I was quiet about issues burning holes in my heart or narratives incorrectly pushed by the mass agenda to create a mindset that the person at hand is krazy or has issues internally that are beyond repair.”

“I say all this to say, I’M WOKE….. & while I am.. lemme remind you that Colin Kapernick still isn’t allowed in the NFL, lynching just became a federal hate crime in 2022 & you can now not be discriminated from employment because of the way you decide to wear your hair.”

Ending his assessment with sarcasm, “GEEZ thank you m#### for allowing us to slowly progress as a race 100 years at a time after all that was STOLEN from us.”

According to The Blast, on Friday, March 18th, The Grammys called Kanye to share he will not be doing a performance in their upcoming show because of his “concerning online behavior.”

Will Smith Shocked By “Unique” Responses And Praise For “King Richard”

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Will Smith is surprised his 2006 film “The Pursuit of Happyness” didn’t get the same level of awards season recognition as “King Richard.”

In an interview with The Blast at the National Board of Review gala on Tuesday, the actor admitted he expected “The Pursuit of Happyness,” which he starred in alongside his son Jaden, to receive a raft of awards nominations, but it only received one – for Best Actor.

“I thought ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ was the best movie I ever made,” he shared. “The reaction that ‘King Richard’ is getting is what I thought ‘Pursuit of Happyness’ was going to get but something happened with this film that is very unique. I’ve never experienced this blanket level of appreciation for a movie.”

The 53-year-old is currently nominated for a Best Actor Oscar for the third time for his portrayal of Venus and Serena Williams’ father Richard Williams in “King Richard.”

The film is nominated for six Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay.

Will is widely expected to take home the Best Actor Academy Award later this month, as he is currently on a winning streak. Across the past four weeks, he has won the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) Award, BAFTA Film Award, Critics Choice Award, and National Board of Review prize for the role.

The Oscars will take place in Los Angeles on March 27th.

Benzino Waves White Flag In Longstanding Feud With Eminem

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Benzino decided to end one of the longest-running feuds in Hip Hop.

After beefing with Eminem for two decades, Benzino put a stop to the bad blood on Thursday (March 17). Coi Leray’s father announced he’s done with the beef via Twitter.

“To all @Eminem fans & Stans all over the world, the beef is officially over,” he wrote. “I’m letting y’all know I have no hate towards any of his fans & recognize his contributions to Hip Hop. He truly is apart of the culture & 1 of the best to rock the mic regardless of his color.”

Coi Leray’s burgeoning career played a role in Benzino’s decision. He admitted arguing with Eminem’s fans wasn’t a good look for both him and his daughter.

“I realize that me going back and forth with his fans is not good for the culture, my spirit, my legacy and most important, my beautiful, talented daughter Coi Leray,” he explained. “I don’t want any negativity from me affect her dream. This is truly over. God Bless All.”

https://twitter.com/IAMBENZINO/status/1504589609522581507?s=20&t=jK4GLV3RnptoIcYc4tUxWA

Benzino and Eminem’s bitter feud has faded to the background, but it was a major issue in Hip Hop during the 2000s. It also played a role in the downfall of The Source, which Benzino once co-owned.

During the beef, Benzino and Eminem exchanged several diss tracks. The Source’s coverage also started to reflect the personal vendetta against Slim Shady.

The beef’s most infamous moment came in 2003 when Benzino and The Source unearthed recordings of Eminem rapping racial slurs as a teenager. Em apologized for being an “angry, stupid kid” who used the offensive lyrics following a breakup with a Black girlfriend.

Eminem was largely forgiven, but his drama with The Source was just the start of bad business for the magazine once regarded as Hip Hop’s bible. Former editor-in-chief Kim Osorio’s wrongful termination added to the publication’s problems, eventually leading to Benzino and founder David Mays’ ouster from The Source in 2006.

Kodak Black Meets Donald Trump With The Help Of Ray J

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Kodak Black linked up with Donald Trump, who granted clemency to the rapper last year.

According to Page Six, Kodak Black met with Trump at a dinner held at the Mar-a-Lago club on Thursday night (March 17). Ray J facilitated the meeting, bringing the Florida native to the dinner as his plus-one.

“It was the right thing to do,” Ray J told Page Six. “Trump pardoned him.”

The singer’s manager David Weintraub added, “Ray has always been someone who enjoys connecting talented minds together. And this is just another example of his goodwill.”

Ray J and Trump previously connected at Mar-a-Lago in January. The two discussed business initiatives.

Trump pardoned Kodak Black in one of his final acts as president. The Atlantic Records artist was in prison for falsifying information on federal forms to buy firearms.

Earlier this week, Trump thanked Kodak Black for publicly supporting the twice impeached politician. The ex-president appreciated the Sniper Gang rhymer saying, “Getting rid of Trump is the worst thing America could’ve did.”

Kodak Black’s lawyer Bradford Cohen shared Trump’s message to his client on social media.

“In case you think the President just gave out a commutation and then forgets about it…he doesn’t #N.F.L.,” Cohen wrote on Instagram. “#L.O.V.E. from your Unc Trump…lol…”

Tasha K Fights Back Against Cardi B By Appealing Defamation Lawsuit

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

The legal battle between Cardi B and vlogger Tasha K isn’t over yet.

According to court documents obtained by AllHipHop, Tasha K filed an appeal in the defamation case against her on Thursday (March 17). Earlier this year, Cardi B won a civil lawsuit after suing the vlogger for spreading lies on YouTube and social media.

Tasha K, whose real name is Latasha Kebe, was found liable for defamation, invasion of privacy and intentional infliction of emotional distress. Her appeal seeks to overturn the ruling.

“The above-named Defendants, Latasha Kebe and Kebe Studios LLC, appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Eleventh Circuit from the final judgment entered on February 17, 2022,” Tasha K’s lawyer wrote in the court filing.

Cardi B sued Tasha K for defamation in 2019. The vlogger accused the Atlantic Records artist of being a prostitute and having herpes, among other allegations.

A Georgia jury sided with Cardi B at a trial in January. Jurors awarded her over $4 million.

After losing the case, Tasha K still claimed she never lied about Cardi B.

“No LIES were told on anyone,” she wrote on social media. “I never admitted to lying about anything. Noone threw anyone under the bus. Mostly everything reported was a lie from the inside. The Court Transcripts will be available to the public soon. I forgot to add this into my speech. Read Them..”

Cardi B is currently seeking an injunction to stop Tasha K from publishing defamatory statements about her. A judge will make a ruling in April.

Jay-Z Producing Live-Action Movie Based On Graphic Novel For Netflix

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Jay-Z is behind a new Netflix adaptation of a graphic novel series.

According to Deadline, Netflix is developing a live-action movie of the comic Irredeemable and its spinoff Incorruptible. Jay-Z will be one of the film’s producers.

The project reunites Jay-Z with filmmaker Jeymes Samuel, who’s directing the movie. Jay-Z also produced Samuel’s film The Harder They Fall, which premiered on Netflix in 2021.

Irredeemable depicts the downfall of a superhero named Plutonian, who suddenly starts slaughtering the people he once protected. Plutonian’s actions force his former nemesis Max Damage to become an unlikely savior.

Mark Waid created the comic with illustrations handled by Peter Krause. Waid expressed his excitement for Samuel’s take on the graphic novel.

“Peter and I are thrilled to death that a writer and a director we both admire are bringing Irredeemable to life in a faithful and respectful way while inventing their own twists and turns,” he said. “Their unique take on the comic makes it unlike any anti-hero story I’ve ever heard, and I love it.”

Samuel and James Lassiter join Jay-Z as producers for Netflix’s Irredeemable adaptation. Kemp Powers, who wrote films such as One Night in Miami and Soul, will pen the script.
