KXNG Crooked and GTX battle league made a major announcement on Monday night (May 17), revealing the legendary rapper will step into the ring with one of battle rap’s most accomplished stars, Dizaster, in an epic culture-shifting clash.  

The battle was announced at a press conference hosted by the team responsible for the new league, battle rap legends Dizaster and GrindTime founders Lush One and Drect.  

“I can’t just go around saying I’m one of the best to ever put words together right?” KXNG Crooked said, as per HipHopDX. “I have to prove it. I’m really trying to prove it to myself and although Dizaster is a monstrous competitor, he’s just the middleman in this scenario. This won’t be a walk in the park for either of us. Clash of the titans. Brought to you by a brand that we all trust. GTX.”

Both rappers look set to bring their best as Diz plans to prove he is “irrefutably the best rapper on earth,” in the battle. “Time to raise the bar once again,” he declared. 

“There’s no one else more equipped than these two legends,” said co-founder Lush One. I grew up inspired by KXNG Crooked, and Dizaster sets the standard in this space, plus they both also happen to be from the West. Let’s just chill, to ‘The Next Episode.’” 

He also said the battle and the plans GTX is rolling out will shift the culture.  

“This is not only huge for battle rap culture but also monumental for Hip Hop as a whole,” he said. “We are here to break barriers and set new precedents with this battle, creating a platform for not only battle rappers but the best lyricists in the industry to test their skills and put on incredible performances that will be seminal moments in history.”

The two talented artists join a stacked musical lineup for the food, music, and art festival taking place alongside the horse racing.  

The event is headlined by Lauryn Hill, who will perform live after Megan Thee Stallion’s set. Both are expected to perform hour long sets, D-Nice will also be bringing the “Club Quarantine” feel with the festival, along with Baltimore-bred singer Brittney Spencer and Darin Atwater & The Soulful Symphony. WanMor, the singing group from Boyz II Men member Wanya Morris’ family, will also deliver a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner.” 

Kevin Liles, CEO and Chairman of 300 Entertainment and Elektra Music Group, who collaborated with hospitality group 1/ST EXPERIENCE for the event, says he wants to showcase talent from his hometown of Baltimore and help put on for his city.  

“I wanted to create a homecoming feeling,” he told Rolling Stone. “How can you have Preakness and not have Megan Thee Stallion? How can you invite 30-year friends to celebrate one of the biggest events in sports without Ms. Lauryn Hill? How can we not bring ‘Club Quarantine’ to Baltimore with D-Nice? How can we not involve a HBCU school and the historic marching band from Morgan State University?” 

“What we’re building with Preakness LIVE is a movement, not a moment,” Liles added. “As a native son of this great city and a life-long fan of Preakness, I’m so proud to help bring an event of this scale and scope home, creating a cultural milestone both for residents and visitors rediscovering Baltimore’s charms.”

Payton Gendron, who killed 10 people at a Buffalo supermarket, stopped by the store two months before the deadly shooting.

Gendron showed up at the Tops Market in March, according to multiple reports. A white employee recalled an interaction with the mass shooter, who allegedly made racist comments to the woman about working in a predominantly Black neighborhood.

“He told me that I didn’t belong there,” Tops produce manager Rose Wisocki told Buffalo’s NBC affiliate. “I just don’t understand how he could have so much hatred in his heart for such wonderful people. The whole community is wonderful.”

Gendron, an 18-year-old white man, targeted Buffalo’s Tops Market in a mass shooting on Saturday (May 14). He shot 13 people, killing 10 of them. 11 of the victims were Black.

The gunman lived about 200 months away from Buffalo in Conklin, New York. Gendron cited the “Great Replacement Theory,” a racist conspiracy, in a manifesto uploaded before the attack.

Multiple members of Griselda commented on the shooting, which happened in their hometown of Buffalo. Benny The Butcher expressed disbelief on Twitter. Westside Gunn and Conway The Machine offered up prayers after learning about the tragedy.

“Pray for Buffalo,” Conway wrote. “My heart goes out to all the families and friends of the victims and everyone that was impacted by this senseless act of racism and violence. This is beyond unfathomable. Prayers up for my city!”

“Diljit’s collaboration with Tory is transformative in that it really captures the true essence of the two collaborating genres,” says Sammy Chand, Founder of Rukus Avenue Music Group.  “You don’t hear any compromise in the marriage of Hip Hop and Bhangra, and that is what makes this a special moment in international music.” 

The “Chauffeur” music video has already hit a record 30 million YouTube views in just under three weeks. “This song and video will have a BILLION VIEWS !!!!! NO CAP S/O to the GOAT Diljit Dosanjh,” Lanez posted on the gram during his week of promos.

Mac Miller Update: Another Drug Dealer Hit With Harsh Prison Sentence

By: Justin Ivey Updated Category: News

A second man was sentenced to prison for his role in the death of Mac Miller.

According to multiple reports, Stephen Walter received more than 17 years behind bars at his sentencing on Monday (May 16). A judge sentenced him to 210 months in federal prison.

Last year, Stephen Walter pleaded guilty to distributing fentanyl. The 49-year-old man was one of three drug dealers arrested for supplying fentanyl-laced pills, which caused Mac Miller’s fatal overdose.

Stephen Walter apologized to Mac Miller’s family at Monday’s hearing.

“My actions caused a lot of pain, and for that, I’m truly remorseful,” he said. “I’m not that type of person who wants to hurt anybody. That’s not me.”

Stephen Walter became the second dealer to be sentenced in the Mac Miller case. Ryan Reavis, who also pleaded guilty to distributing fentanyl, was sentenced to 131 months in federal prison in April.

The case against the third dealer, Cameron Pettit, is still pending.

Stephen Walter said he thought Cameron Pettit obtained the drugs for personal use. He claimed he was never told anything about the pills being sold to Mac Miller.

“I’m still taking responsibility for everything that happened, but [Cameron Pettit] never told me it was for another person,” he explained. “He was experienced in using those pills. I thought it was for him … And then he delivered them to [Mac Miller] with cocaine and Xanax, or whatever.”

He continued, “I was not willing to do that and had no intent to do anything else other than [sell to] Cameron Pettit. And then two days later, when there was an overdose, Cameron never called me and told me about it, that he had anything to do with him. So, I had no idea that somebody had passed.”

Mac Miller died in 2018. He was 26.

Also, these new pictures show that he wore a ski mask to partially cover up some of the wounds he incurred. I’m surprise he didn’t wear sunglasses because a lot of the swelling is around his eyes and upper face. It doesn’t look like anybody broke skin or anything.

Check the pics below:

Also, Gibbs outright refuted that his chain was stolen. He did seem to produce some evidence that he still had it. I mean, I just wish these guys would stop with the madness. It just is counterproductive out here.

By the way, Benny the Butcher was not a participant in this beat down, at least according to sources. Most people that I have seen talk about this online, have said that he was completely out of town at the time this all happened. This has led to speculation that it was his Black Soprano Family that actually did the deed. There’s no confirmation on that at all, but that is just what people are saying.

People that don’t like Freddie Gibbs are now making jokes. And then there are others that are saying that his wounds are pretty minor for someone that may have been “stomped out” or was just fighting 20 people.

You guys tell me what you think in the comments!
