Back in 2018, Walt Disney Studios and Lucasfilm released Solo: A Star Wars Story. The cast of the motion picture included Donald Glover playing Lando Calrissian.
There have been reports that a Lando Calrissian series is in the works for the Disney+ platform. CinemaBlend spoke to Lucasfilm president Kathleen Kennedy about the possible Star Wars show.
“You need to ask Donald. He’s the one that holds all the cards here. But there’s no movement,” said Kathleen Kennedy. “I will say that honestly. But it’s not for lack of trying. It’s just that he’s a very busy guy.”
Kennedy continued, “[Glover’s] got another series, and I think one other thing, and then he’ll come our way. So patiently waiting.” The rapper/actor is the creator of the Atlanta dramedy on FX.
Atlanta went on hiatus for four years mostly due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Season 3 of the Donald Glover-led program premiered on March 24, 2022. The fourth season is expected to begin airing in fall 2022.
Donald Glover also performs as Hip Hop recording artist Childish Gambino. The five-time Grammy winner’s album discography includes 2011’s Camp, 2013’s Because the Internet, 2016’s “Awaken, My Love!”, and 2020’s 3.15.20.
Disney+ is already home to other shows based in the Star Wars universe. The Mandalorian debuted in 2019. The Book of Boba Fett arrived in 2021. Obi-Wan Kenobi just hit the service on May 27 of this year.
“I have a lot of things. I like to blossom and then go away,” stated Donald Glover on Jimmy Kimmel Live in March. “Right now is definitely the start of another one of those. I have like a ton of stuff I’ve been working on, but I just want it all to come out at the same time, so I feel like that’s what’s important.”
Sometimes Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter likes to share his preferred music choices at any given moment. This week, the billionaire businessman presented the “Montecito” playlist on Tidal.
“Montecito” includes tracks by Babyface Ray, Kendrick Lamar, Pusha T, Kodak Black, Lil Durk, Future, Yo Gotti, Kanye West, XXXTentacion, Lil Durk, and other acts.
Previously, Jay-Z curated a playlist of songs by fellow New York Hip Hop legend Nas. That list contained tracks such as “N.Y. State of Mind,” “Made You Look,” and “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That).”
The Swedish company Aspiro launched Tidal in 2014. Jay-Z purchased the brand in 2015 for a reported $56 million. In 2021, the Jack Dorsey-founded Square technology company acquired majority ownership of Tidal.
Jay-Z is still a Tidal stakeholder. Other recording artists that have reportedly had ownership in the company at some point include Beyoncé, Rihanna, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Usher, Alicia Keys, J. Cole, Madonna, and Calvin Harris.

Vory has already put in a lot of work in the music business. The Texas-born, Kentucky-raised entertainer is now ready to release a studio LP titled Lost Souls on June 3.
As a prelude to the project, the 24-year-old performer released a single titled “Daylight.” G.O.O.D. Music leader Kanye “Ye” West shows up as a feature on the Lost Souls cut.
Previously, Vory and Kanye West teamed up for “God Breathed,” “Jonah,” and “No Child Left Behind.” Those tracks appear on Ye’s Donda album which came out in August 2021.
Besides Kanye West, Lost Souls also features Nav, Bleu, Landstrip Chip, and Fresco. Vory’s catalog includes the Overdose, Lucky Me, and self-titled mixtapes as well.
As a songwriter, Vory contributed to Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s Everything Is Love which won Best Urban Contemporary Album at the 2019 Grammy Awards. He also earned songwriting credit for “Mob Ties” by Drake.
Meek Mill’s Dream Chasers Records signed Vory to the Roc Nation-backed label in 2020. Lost Souls is currently available for pre-save/pre-add on DSPs.
Jack Harlow has been in the news a lot over the last few weeks. Harlow dropped Come Home the Kids Miss You earlier this month, and he got into a friendly rivalry with R&B legend Brandy.
In addition, Jack Harlow faced accusations that his commercial success as a rapper is based on him being a white man. TMZ asked fellow Generation Now recording artist Lil Uzi Vert if he feels Harlow benefits from his race.
“He’s really good,” stated Lil Uzi Vert about Jack Harlow. The “XO Tour Llif3” hitmaker also added, “Nah, he doesn’t have white privilege. He’s signed to Black people.”
DJ Drama and Don Cannon founded the Generation Now record label in 2015. Both Jack Harlow and Lil Vert released multiple, respective albums via the Atlantic Records-distributed imprint.
Besides Come Home the Kids Miss You, Jack Harlow’s discography also contains 2020’s Thats What They All Say. The Louisville native hit #1 on the Hot 100 chart with Lil Nas X’s “Industry Baby” and “First Class.”
Lil Uzi Vert released Luv Is Rage 2 in 2017 and Eternal Atake in 2020. Both studio LPs reached #1 on the Billboard 200 chart. Plus, Uzi partnered with Atlanta rap star Future for 2020’s Pluto x Baby Pluto collaborative project.

Residents of a Compton neighbourhood hit back after an illegal street takeover in the hours of Monday morning (May 30).
According to a CBS News report, law enforcement responded to calls from the local community. Cops received reports of a crowd of over 200 people taking over the intersection of Wilmington Avenue and Caldwell Street in Compton.
Compton Illegal Street Takeover
Residents reported vehicles tearing up the streets with drivers doing donuts while the crowd let off fireworks and shined lasers into the cars. At least one person was reportedly seen sitting on top of the Caldwell Street sign.
The Compton Sheriff’s Station says no one was injured and they made no arrests. However, a watch commander at the stations noted the difficulties in preventing such illegal street takeover events. As the planning is conducted on social media it’s difficult for cops to stay one step ahead.
Meanwhile residents complained and shared their frustration at the frequency of the street takeovers which they claim is almost constant.
“I do get angry. I do get mad,” said Alex Ramos, a Compton resident told CBS News. Ramos claimed the illegal street takeovers occur multiple times a week at the same location.
One local apparently suffered damage to their home during one such event after a car crashed into the building leaving a gaping hole.
“It could happen today, in the afternoon, late evening, early in the morning. It’s just whenever they choose,” an anonymous resident reported. He also complained of shootings during illegal street takeovers and residents inconvenienced by cars blocking their driveways. “They’re very aggressive and confrontational about it,” he added.
Though cops eventually dispersed the crowd, the local community says not enough is being done.
“When [the police] do arrive, the only thing they do is just scare them off,” said Ramos. “I don’t see no arrests. I don’t see nothing.”
The Harlem native shed light on fatherhood during a new interview and laid out exactly the type of parent he is. Curiously, he lists some surprising influences that shaped his viewpoint.
“I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination,” he told Dazed. “Even as adults, no matter what. I actually love to watch cartoons,” he added. “I’ve watched like, Teletubbies, Blue’s Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba, Peppa Pig and Baby Shark,” he said.
Furthermore, the “Purple Swag” hitmaker isn’t trying to achieve perfection – A$AP Rocky simply wants his family to be “cool.”
“I hope to raise open-minded children,” he added. “Not people who discriminate. And I’m not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with cool parents.”
When the interviewer pointed out the famous couple already influenced a generation of creative young people, A$AP agreed. “It’s beautiful that we can even do that. Things like diversity and versatility are important, and they’ll be embedded in the household.”
While A$AP Rocky discussed the values he wants to instill in his family, Rihanna revealed that she is “psycho” about her children. “You talk about my kids, it’s over,” she declared during an interview before the birth of their son.
Anita Baker owns her masters, and according to the legendary soul singer, it’s all thanks to Chance The Rapper, who helped her acquire them.
Chance The Rapper was in the audience at a recent show when Anita Baker called him up onstage to thank him.
“You should say hello to a friend of mine by way of the music industry and by way of helping me, helping me to get a hold and ownership of my master recordings,” Anita Baker said in footage circulating online. Chance then stood up and thanked the cheering audience for their praise.
He later retweeted the video of Anita Baker thanking him and celebrated the singer and her incredible show.
“I saw one of THE greatest performances of my LIFETIME last night,” Chance wrote. “Thank you so much @IAMANITABAKER for being an inspiration and an icon to so many of US.”

Anita Baker Says “Impossible Things Happen”
Anita Baker announced she regained control of her master recordings last September. She celebrated the achievement on social media, though she never mentioned the assistance from Chance.
“All My Children Are Coming Home,” the icon tweeted. “Impossible Things Happen… Every. Single. Day.”
She shared an image of her first five albums, 1983’s The Songstress, 1986’s Rapture, 1988’s Giving You The Best That I Got, 1990’s Compositions, and 1994’s Rhythm of Love.

Alezo Valentino released his song last year 2021. The morning after Alezo Valentino released the song he checked the stats and noticed the song had thousands of views on YouTube. He was reeling from the excitement. “There are so many people that drop songs on YouTube every second and for my song to go viral was really big for me, I’ve just been really happy celebrating,” he says, calling from his vacation hotel. “I’m still a little out of it because we went out and celebrated now, I’m back at the hotel.
The whole past year 2021 was somewhat of a whirlwind for Alezo Valentino. He began doing live shows 2020 and when he was starting to get more comfortable on stage his manager booked a bigger venue but it was cancelled because of the pandemic, so he ended up recording the single Cae La Noche instead. The record has no feature on it and has done well on the YouTube charts. It is now at over 106k views on the social media platform.
Now, Alezo Valentino is ready to make more moves. Growing up, he had dreams of being a Hockey or Football player; he even made a bid to play on a college team in the U.S. because he was offered scholarships at several Universities before an injury cut his career short and he pivoted to music. Some of his early work made it seem as though he would be at the forefront of a PoP/R&B wave in Spanish-language music, with lighter, melody-driven songs drawing on his love of performers like Michael Jackson.
But he also played with trap, an early indicator of the eclecticism he wanted to indulge in, and his recent songs have continued to spotlight Pop and reggaeton.“I couldn’t do reggaeton,” he says. “I’ve always been listening to Pop and Reggaeton music, and when I released my latest reggaeton track, people went crazy.”
Alezo Valentino prefers home studios where he can hole up for days and come up with ideas. That’s mostly how he spent the last few months of 2021, apart from hanging out with his friends and occasionally jet-skiing with his friends. The better part of his hours are spent on music, and he already has some track ideas lined up for 2022. “I have Electro mixed with Pop and R&B even music that’s a bit more classic because I’m a huge fan of that kind of music, thanks to my parents,” he says. Both of his parents were really into all kind of music genres, and would always play loud music in their home. Music such as Michael Jackson, Rock music, electro music. Alezo Valentino says he love to explore different genres of music. “Fusing modern styles with past roots is something that to me is really beautiful and innovative,” he adds.
He’d also like to collaborate with other artists, But the most important thing is to keep the momentum he has going. He can feel the gears shifting now: His music is resonating with people and he gets a lot of messages on social media about how much people loves his music. “We’re in a different position, where people know my music more, I have a lot of songs stored on a hard drive on the list that will be released very soon’’ he says.
However, Mo’Nique claims he used ticket stubs as evidence he was the headliner because he doesn’t have a contract, “like I do.”
“Either show your contract or be quiet,” she said on Instagram, sharing D.L. Hughley’s post, adding he is “the reason why I fight for my people like I do.” She also claimed him thinking he should close the show over her “is a prime example of the bias that black women have to deal with in this business.”
In response, D.L. Hughley posted some receipts of his own, declaring, “After this… I don’t want hear no mo’ about this✌🏾here it is in black & white!!” he penned, posting his deal memo.
He called attention to a few details of the agreement which support his claims. According to the comedian, the deal stipulates he is the “headliner,” and the “highest paid artist on show.” Additionally, the document grants him “approval of lineup” and lists him as the closing act.
“Receipts > opinions,” he continued. “I got everything that was stated in my contract… everything. But let’s say I didn’t, my beef wouldn’t be with anyone but the promoter and/or my team and I damn sure wouldn’t make it personal. If you have a problem, take it up with management and by that I mean yours✌🏾”
Nonetheless, Mo’Nique fired back, calling him out for posting his “’Deal Memo,’ versus his ‘Performance Agreement,‘“ before posting her own. She also shared “emails and texts confirming that as per usual I’m going to always keep it real and honest with my people.” Mo’Nique then questioned the absence of signatures on his agreement, saying it is further proof it’s not a genuine agreement.
Furthermore, she said she checked with management as he instructed her, “and this is what I came up with,” before accusing him of “trying to pass a deal memo off as a contract.”
She continued, “the promoter already told my team before the show that you didn’t have a signed agreement.” she also challenged him to post his “signed agreement,” before listing the evidence to support her claims before asking, “Can you say receipts? LOL”
Still, D.L. Hughley came back with another response questioning Mo’Nique’s“Hick’s Media Inc” contract. “Hold up!! That’s you!!! You reallly showing everyone a contract you submitted from your own company🤣🤣🤣🤣” he asked. “I smell b####### and I wouldn’t pick it up with the old ass birth certificate paper it was written on!! “
He added, “Stop the 🧢!!” before relisting his own deal stipulations. “Now explain to me how my s### was delivered on and yours wasn’t?? Sounds to me like your problem is with “hicks media inc”. Can we please implement the 3 knockdown rule?? 💥🥊 “ he concluded.
Joe Budden might have more beefs than any other rapper. But, since he no longer raps, we may not want to call this a squabble. But let us rap fans are always tured in when bars are used. And that is exactly what Cy-Hi did! He levied some bars straight to Joe Budden today.
So, there is no looming rap battle, but I have to say Joe won this round. He posted the following image of him on vaca.
As you know the internets took the time to find a clip where Joe was willing to come out of retirement for Cy! Lets gooooo! He’s already on break, just keep it going!

Tai Dinero is a 19-year-old hip-hop music artist from Philadelphia, PA whose songs are making an impact in the rap underground. Ever since the age of 8, Tai has aspired to fulfill his musical dreams by following in his older brother’s footsteps and entering the music industry. Since he was young he was taught to write poetry and turn it into song. Watching his brother become a local hip-hop sensation in the Philadelphia area is what made Tai want to pursue the career and take it seriously.
His whole life he faced obstacles in he needed to overcome and music being his passion was his escape from the harsh reality he found himself in. At age 17 after watching many of his friends head off to college, Tai found himself lonely but at the same time more focused than ever. “The moments I’ve been by myself I just continued to be in my bag more than ever and focused on my music,” Tai says when speaking about his writing style.
In 2018 when Tai released his debut single “In my Bag” he was just a young teen, however, he caught the attention of peers around the Philadelphia area. His lyricism and alternating flows generated him buzz as he progressed into the artist he always dreamed he would be. Since establishing himself with “In my Bag”, Tai has released several other hip hop hits such as “Hallucinatin” as well as his new latest single off his upcoming EP “Motion”.
Tai also has announced he will be releasing his first project at the end of August called “Zero to Dinero” which will include his latest song “Motion” as well as 9 other new songs. With co-signs from Philadelphia legends Meek Mill and Lil Uzi Vert shouting his music out on social media, it’s safe to say Tai Dinero is not only the next big hip hop phenom out of Philly but potentially the music industry as a whole as well.

The Kid LAROI, who was mentored by late rapper Juice Wrld, revealed people have also been begging him for money.
Thankfully, the 18-year-old seems to have his head on straight and appears to be handling his money wisely.
“I’ve had people come out who I have known for three weeks [saying], “Bro, you just gonna leave me?” And I’m like, “I don’t have to give you anything. I don’t even know you like that.'”
The rapper recently struck a deal with power manager Scooter Braun, who has handled the careers of artists like Kanye West, Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato, and others.
The Kid LAROI is currently on the Australian leg of his “End Of The World Tour,” which has already sold-out.
Lil Durk recently paid her to his fall and homeboys, King Von and D Thang. It’s very sad to see that these young guys are dying so fast. But Durk spared no expense or paying his respects.
First of all he got his legs tatted up in homage of both of his men. And then on top of that, he put language underneath some of which was in Arabic. Both sang rest in peace to those gentlemen.
And then, on the back he did some thing that looks extremely painful. He tattooed a huge skull on the back of his body. The skull reportedly took a full work day – eight hours!
This is a skull of the heavy-metal variety, not something pretty. It is a tellin condemnation of the music in which makes these guys so rich and famous and yet also result in so much pain and death. Nevertheless it got everybody talking last night in our video didn’t go up until this morning because my Wi-Fi was down. Anyway, check out the link below and tell me what you think of it and is he being contradictory to his Muslim teaching with these images.
Some say he’s still a “k#### (unbeliever)” by Orthodox Muslim standards, because of the life he leads. Any Muslim brothers or sisters out there?
John Legend felt prepared for success as he witnessed his good friend Kanye West skyrocket to fame in the early 2000s.
The “All of Me” hitmaker moved to New York in 2000 to try and get a record deal and his roommate introduced him to Ye the following year.
They worked together on each other’s demos for their debut albums and John Legend stood by as Kanye West found critical and commercial success with The College Dropout in early 2004.
Reflecting on their early friendship in an interview with The Guardian, John Legend explained that watching West’s rise helped get him ready for his own.
“Me and Kanye were working on each other’s demos – mine, which would become Get Lifted, and his, which would be The College Dropout,” he said. “Being with Kanye and witnessing him blow up in the early days helped prepare me for what would happen. When success finally happened for me, I felt like I was able to not be overwhelmed by it.”
John Legend recalled how having writing credits on The College Dropout made him immediately more attractive to record labels who had brushed him off before.
“I would get told ‘no’ by a lot of people in the industry,” he shared. “I’d get really lowball offers for record deals or people would tell me to work more on my demo.
“Finally, The College Dropout came out in 2004 and it just took off. That’s when the music from “Get Lifted* started to sound a lot better to all the record execs.”
Legend signed with West’s G.O.O.D. Music label and released Get Lifted later that year.
Kendrick Lamar has over 500 songs in a hard drive that he can’t seem to fix.
In an interview with Big Boy, the West Coast interview OG, he talked about having a vault of songs. At first he said he had thousands of songs that have been unreleased. And then he switched it up to say there were about 500 songs. Either way, yes!
He said the songs are lost in a hard drive that has some issues and they cannot retrieve the data. But, Big Boy said that he could get it off for him and begin to negotiate immediately. He said that he would do it if K-Dot gave him a free concert for his kids. Kendrick did agree to that.
I don’t know how far they’ll take this, but imagine a bunch of new songs from Kendrick Lamar! I can’t imagine! I am still buzzing off Mr. Morale & the Big Steppers, but I will certainly take that.
By the way this was done in a live feed on Kendrick’s own YouTube page, so I believe it is actually an older interview that was re-released. And he expanded on a number of things surrounding his music, but the new album was not mentioned. This is an amazing interview, and really allows him to expound on the depth of his artistry. BUT, it seemed like it was an oldie, but goodie!
I wonder if Top Dawg will claim ownership of those songs? Either way, I am sure they will work it out.
Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, who dropped the mic to make laws for the people in the Mansa district of India’s Punjab state, was shot and killed on Sunday, May 29th around 5:30 p.m. at the age of 28.
According to CNN, two cars pulled up on the raptivist’s vehicle from the front and opened fire.
Punjab police chief Viresh Kumar Bhawra said typically Moose Wala, who has 8 million followers on Instagram, rolled with four commandos.
However, on this day, two had been reassigned to cover the anniversary of a Sikh massacre. He also had access to two armed security guards and a bulletproof car but chose to move without them.
The shooters emptied out dozens of shots, as approximately 30 casings were found around the crime scene. Reports stay the bullets were fired from at least three different weapons including a 9mm handgun.
After being shot, he was taken to the hospital where he was declared dead.
Police do not know who the unidentified suspects are but believe the murder can be linked to gang violence. A gang member from Canada is said to have claimed responsibility for Moose Wala’s death.
But many believe a rival political party, the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) has something to do with it.
India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party said in a statement, “Sidhu Moose Wala was gunned down in a state-sponsored murder. The AAP government is totally responsible for this,”
AAP denies having any connection to the assassination.
In a tweet, Bhagwant Mann, the Punjab chief minister for the AAP, declared, “I am shocked and deeply saddened by the gruesome murder of Sidhu Moose Wala. Nobody involved will be spared. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his fans across the world. I appeal everyone to stay calm,”
I am Shocked and Deeply saddened by the gruesome murder of Siddhu Moosewala. Nobody involved will be spared. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and his fans across the world. I appeal everyone to stay calm.
The artist-turned-politician, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, is being mourned far and wide. Megastar Drake posted on his Instagram stories a picture of the artist saying, “RIP Moose.”
AllHipHop.com joins the millions of his fans, sending our condolences.
Black Eyed Peas and Pitbull are to perform a concert from an ancient volcanic crater.
The superstars have signed on to headline the first-ever Atlantis Concert for Earth, a nonprofit concert and “global conservation celebration” that will take place in the Azores Islands, Portugal on July 22nd and 23rd.
The pristine venue is a natural amphitheater, nestled along two lakes inside an ancient volcano crater.
“Nature is the true headliner at the Atlantis Concert for the Earth,” said will.i.am of Black Eyed Peas. “It is a surreal other-worldly experience to perform on the rim of an extinct volcanic crater to celebrate the rockstars of conservation while using music as a megaphone to call attention to the need for global conservation.”
The line-up also includes Stone Temple Pilots, Bush, Mod Sun, and Girlfriends, with Sting to appear virtually. Nicole Scherzinger is set to host the event.
“I love Concert for Earth’s inclusive mission of finding balance with our planet and leaning into our passions and superpowers to inspire people to become rockstars for Earth! The world is changed by our actions and not our opinions,” she added.
