Up-And-Coming Rapper Lil Dawg Is Making His Way into the Industry

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Music

The music industry has become one of the most competitive spaces for budding artists to find their audience. With the advent of social media, we have seen new artists grabbing the limelight every day while others move away from it. One thing that has dominated the industry for decades is an original and unique talent. An artist must be unique to distinguish themselves from the millions trying to snatch the spotlight. It does not happen overnight and requires hard work and persistence to get there. Rising rapper Lil Dawg is one such artist who is carving a niche for himself in this industry with sheer talent and hard work. 

Lil Dawg’s story begins when he was 9. At that tender age, he discovered his passion for music and even tried performing live. This was not well-accepted by many close to him, who mocked him and even tried to discourage him from pursuing his passion. He heard words like “you will never make it” and “you suck,” only to develop a will of steel to pursue music. He took all this criticism as a challenge and became even more determined to earn a living through music. 

Coming from regular family background, Lil Dawg faced financial problems while growing up. However, he did not let financial status become a barrier to his success. Since a very young age, he has been working hard to support his passion and has been successful to a great extent in doing so. Lil Dawg works as a social media marketer with a company called Gateway. The company is headed by Carter Jamison, a renowned celebrity and entrepreneur. This has further exposed Lil Dawg to the entertainment industry to scale up his career. 

Lil Dawg is a popular music sensation on social media with over 70K followers on Instagram. He has earned more than 80K views on YouTube, which is increasing with each passing day. Lil Dawg was also featured on the globally renowned Fox 5 NY News for his unique music. The rapper has been awarded by The Love Of Sean Talent Show and also from The 40th Precinct Community Council for National Night Out. For the 21-year-old, the list of achievements doesn’t end here. He has performed at popular clubs like Webster Hall NYC, Club Rebel, and The Emporium, opening for mainstream national acts like Mindless Behavior, Rip rapper, Chinx, Styles P, Coke Boys, and Freeway. 

So far, Lil Dawg has performed at more than 400 live shows. His biggest achievement is performing at the prestigious Brooklyn Unity Fest 3 years in a row. Apart from his accomplishments in the music industry, Lil Dawg has also hit some milestones as a marketing professional with Gateway. He has worked with prominent names like Lil Pump, Gucci Mane, Lil Durk, and Bobby Shmurda for celebrity giveaways hosted by the company. He has been a part of a team that has worked to keep over 10K clients motivated and get noticed on social media. 

Now, Lil Dawg wants the limelight for himself. He has consistently released electrifying singles on YouTube and Spotify that have been well-received by his audience. Lil Dawg aspired to continue his journey to get noticed and hit the top of the music charts someday.

Since he is Peter was made public, Nelly has since apologized for the incident. 

“I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family, this is unwanted publicity for her/them. This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.”

YNW Melly Seeks To Avoid Death Penalty In Murder Case

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

YNW Melly is hoping to avoid the death penalty as his murder trial approaches.

The incarcerated rapper’s legal team has filed motions in an effort to take the death penalty off the table. The defense argues that prosecutors haven’t met the criteria to justify the harsh punishment.

Prosecutors are seeking the death penalty, claiming YNW Melly committed murder in a “cold, calculated and premeditated manner.” His defense took issue with the use of that description in a motion filed on Monday (February 7).

“This aggravating factor is unconstitutionally vague and overbroad, is not capable of a constitutionally adequate narrowing construction and has been applied in an arbitrary and inconsistent manner,” the defense argued.

Prosecutors listed four aggravating factors in their notice to seek the death penalty. Four months ago, the defense says it submitted a mitigation package to dispute those factors being proven beyond a reasonable doubt.

YNW Melly’s legal team contends that even if the burden of proof was met, the death penalty still wouldn’t be appropriate in the case. They also say the mitigation package was supposed to be sent to a Death Penalty Review Committee for a final decision, but it still hadn’t been received as of February 3.

The defense doesn’t believe the mitigation package will be reviewed in time for the trial, which is scheduled to begin on March 7. They’ve asked the court to compel the state to send the package to the committee or drop the death penalty.

YNW Melly is facing two counts of first-degree murder. He’s accused of killing his friends Anthony Williams a.k.a. YNW Sakchaser and Christopher Thomas Jr. a.k.a. YNW Juvy in 2018.

Nelly Sends Social Media Into Frenzy After Explicit Video Gets Posted Online

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Nelly was trending for the wrong reasons after an explicit video of him surfaced online.

Footage of the veteran rapper getting pleasured was uploaded to his Instagram Stories on Tuesday (February 8). The uncensored video had social media buzzing as “Damn Nelly” trended on Twitter.

Nelly issued an apology via TMZ after the clip spread online. He didn’t mention if he accidentally posted the video, but his team suggested he may have been hacked.

“I sincerely apologize to the young lady and her family,” Nelly told TMZ. “This is unwanted publicity for her/them. This was an old video that was private and never meant to go public.”

Barstool Sports podcaster Kevin Clancy believes Nelly learned about the explicit footage going public during an interview on KFC Radio. Clancy posted a clip of the diamond-selling artist reacting to something on his phone in the middle of their conversation.

“Deadass I think this is the exact moment on @KFCradio that Nelly realized he posted his sex tape to his Instagram,” Clancy wrote. “’ohhh god.’”

Clancy was just one of the many Twitter users commenting on the shocking footage. Stunned reactions and jokes flooded social media as the Nelly clip gained attention.

NBA YoungBoy Now Has More RIAA Certifications Than Future & J. Cole

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

NBA YoungBoy is still in his early 20s, yet he’s already racked up a staggering amount of gold and platinum certifications.

The Baton Rouge native has surpassed Future and J. Cole in terms of singles and albums certified by the Recording Industry Association of America. NBA YoungBoy eclipsed them by securing 13 certifications from the RIAA on February 4.

Island Boys’ Home Raided, Associate Arrested For Killing 8-Year-Old Girl

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

An associate of the Island Boys was arrested for allegedly killing an 8-year-old girl.

According to multiple reports, police raided the TikTok stars’ home in Coral Springs, Florida on Monday (February 7). Cops apprehended murder suspect Andrew James Thomas, who’s accused of killing 8-year-old Ronziyah Atkins in a drive-by shooting last week.

Alex Venegas a.k.a. Flyysoulja was in the house when the raid occurred. The Island Boys were not implicated in the death of Atkins.

Thomas is a childhood friend of the Venegas brothers. The Island Boys’ manager Dovi Bezner said the 20-year-old suspect crashed at the duo’s home for a few days.

“We had no idea any of this was going on, really,” Bezner told WPBF 25. “We just knew him as a quiet kid and he would come and hang out and do his thing and go back to whatever he got going on, but we had no clue about any of these allegations toward him. We just knew him as a good person, someone who grew up with the Island Boys.”

Thomas was booked into Broward County Jail. He faces charges of first-degree murder with a firearm, attempted first-degree murder with a firearm and felon in possession of a firearm.

Politicians Want To Give Young Dolph His Own Day Of Service

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

After the death of rapper Young Dolph in November, Tennessee politicians are sponsoring a bill to honor the Memphis (by way of Chicago) artist. 

The goal is to create a day of service in his honor and inspire people to give back to the community as he did.

Rep. Torrey C. Harris (D-Memphis-D90) and former Sen. Katrina Robinson have sponsored the bill to create the “Adolph Thornton Day of Service.”

The bill titled SB1672/HB2035 says Young Dolph, whose real name is Adolph Thornton, “was an exemplary gentleman and consummate professional who worked assiduously to improve the quality of life for his fellow citizens in numerous capacities.”

It heralded Young Dolph’s philanthropic efforts, noting that he donated $50,000 to his alma mater, generously contributed to the Tennessee Arts Academy Foundation, and gave motivational speeches to students across the state. 

He donated and delivered Thanksgiving turkeys across Memphis (in the areas of Hickory Hills, Westwood, South Memphis, LeMoyne Gardens, and Castalia neighborhoods).

The bill mentioned his visits with patients and staff at the West Clinic and how he hosted an annual Back to School Block Party for kids. At the Back to School Block Party, he donated school supplies and backpacks to youth.

Dolph, who was raised primarily by his grandmother in South Memphis since he was four years old, also hosted Mother’s Day brunches for victims of domestic violence and individuals dealing with substance abuse.

The bill proposes that the date that he was killed outside of a cookie shop in Memphis, November 17th, now be dedicated to him.

It reads in part, “November 17th of each year is to be observed as the ‘Adolph Thornton Day of Service,’ to celebrate the memory, music, and community service contributions of Adolph’ Young Dolph’ Thornton and to encourage Tennesseans to help others.”

While it will not be a legal holiday, it will be a great way to continue his legacy.

Why Does J. Prince Think Joe Rogan Isn’t A Racist? Twitter Wants ANSWERS

By: Niki Gatewood (@THE_NikiG)Category: Rumors

As of late, Joe Rogan’s reckless mouth is causing much controversy. First off, his dubious COVID-19 beliefs are causing many artists to flee Spotify. However, it is his gratuitous use of the N-word which is vexing many people. Be that as it may, J. Prince vows, “Joe Rogan is Not a Racist.” Of course, Twitter distinctly responds.

After, the matter-of-fact posts appears on his official Instagram account, the H-Town jefe states his piece. Simply put, he starts off, ” Joe Rogan is not a racist. I know this brother.” Nonetheless, to better substantiate his sentiment the Rap-A-Lot boss boasts, ” It takes a sincere individual to admit when they are wrong and have f##### up about a situation.”

Moreover, the proven peacemaker then asserts, “As you can hear he’s done that and I forgive him because I never want to become one of those people that are filled with un-forgiveness and hate, that we complain about all the time.”

Finally, the esteemed entrepreneur adds, ” Let this be an example to others of the sensitivity of the word “n####” being said by anybody other than a n#### lol” Even though, the woeful podcaster has an unforeseen ally in J. Prince, the public is not here for his hateful shenanigans.

Of course, social media is collectively is responding to the apt assertion. So now, an array of visceral Twitter posts are taking aim at these somewhat confusing remarks. Above, all many social media users directly address the issue of Joe Rogan.

The Replies:

https://twitter.com/LazyLeftyOG/status/1490869042416177152

Furthermore, a collective bafflement is gripping the masses. A concerned voice contends, “J Prince sendin goons for n##### over jokes but defending the white man’s right to say n#####. F##### bozo,” so says @20pcLP. Then, @FACTUALOPINION0 offers an amusing quip. “J prince should change the label name to tap-a-lot records.”

https://twitter.com/20pcLP/status/1490836035575504900

Additionally, the flagrant use of the embittered racial slur is akin to Rogan auditioning for a Tarantino flick. Granted, it is obvious that Mr. Prince gives him a pass for using the racist term. On the other hand, the masses refuse the hollow apology.

After many fans speculated that Hart was behind the hilarious prank, the comedian re-posted the image to his social media accounts and confessed it was his idea.

Rapper Tyga Dodges Domestic Violence Charge, Mandated To Take Conflict Resolution Sessions

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Tyga can breathe a sigh of relief after the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office decided that he will not be facing criminal charges related to his October domestic violence case.

According to TMZ, the “Light It Up” rapper was handed a big break but will have to stay on the straight and narrow for at least a year as a part of his agreement with the prosecutors. 

Tyga will also have to take classes and sit with authorities to help him navigate conflict resolution options. If he fails to comply with the boundaries of this agreement, the state could still file misdemeanor charges on the rapper.

In October 2021, Camaryn Swanson, the artist’s ex-girlfriend, said that he physically abused her after the two got in an argument. Swanson filed charges, and Tyga turned himself in to local authorities.

His bail was set for $50,000, for the domestic violence incident and he has been out since then.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UiK1qiQsIHE

The prosecution’s leniency could have been predicted.

AllHipHop.com reported in November that the Los Angeles County D.A. did believe the assault warranted a felony charge and declined to file them as such against Tyga. 

The L.A. County D.A. shot it over to the Los Angeles City’s Attorney’s Office — with the understanding that with that department, the most significant penalty would be hitting him with a misdemeanor.

Swanson, who made the domestic violence allegation, says that the media has misrepresented her.

“My intentions were never to go public with this,” she wrote. 

“Unfortunately ‘someone’ released a false narrative to TMZ painting me out to be somebody I am not, accusing me of things that did not happen and that I did not do. With that being said I took matters into my own hands and posted the TRUTH with proof tagging tmz AFTER they released the fake news.” 

The two still hang out despite the domestic violence accusations but are not romantic.

Wait did $not smash Doja Cat or is this song “Doja” just a SMASH? We dunno what really happened there but this song is absolutely lit. $not has a completely different style separating himself from a host of rappers in the game so when he teamed up with Rihanna’s baby daddy we knew this was going to be an instant classic to runback. Joined by A$AP Rocky for an undeniably fire verse we can’t help but want more from $not. Luckily this is like two videos in one with a tribute to Virgil at the end.

Kanye West and Jason Lee joined forces to bring 50 Black journalists together to discuss reclaiming the narrative, disparities in Black media, and the importance of ownership at Ye’s ‘The Future Brunch.’

Ye expressed his desire to create a movement rather than a moment when elevating the culture, having equity, and telling Black stories. 

West expressed that he only wanted to look forward not backwards, hence the ‘The Future Brunch’ title. He also shared his desire to invest in Black media.

“Me and Virgil believed in black design,” said Ye. “Now we need to invest in Black media.”

Hollywood Unlocked’s Jason Lee and Meta’s Michelle Mitchell opened the floor to discuss breaking the barriers in media, cancelling cancel culture, and ensuring Black voices are humanized when our stories are told.

Following the conversation, Kanye’s Sunday Service performed for those in attendance.

Pete Davidson Calls Kim Kardashian His Girlfriend For The First Time

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Pete Davidson has publicly referred to Kim Kardashian as his “girlfriend” for the first time.

The comedian met the reality TV star in October when she hosted “Saturday Night Live.” They soon sparked speculation that they were dating after being photographed on various dates.

Although they have been seen together often, they have tried to keep the relationship low-key and haven’t spoken about it directly in public.

However, Pete Davidson shed some light on their relationship status when he referred to Kardashian, 41, as his “girlfriend” during an interview with “People (The TV Show!)” about his new Super Bowl ad.

Discussing life in the limelight, he said, “Well, I don’t really have Instagram – I don’t have Instagram or Twitter or any of that stuff. So, most of my daily life is getting into cars and showing up to a set… Or, if I’m off, I just either hang with my friends or chill with my girlfriend inside. So I don’t do much.”

The 28-year-old added that the interest in him has almost “zero” impact on his day-to-day life.

“Once in a while, someone will scream something at you, or it might be hard to get Dunkin’ Donuts. But other than that, it’s pretty fine. It’s not awful. It could be way worse,” Pete Davidson quipped.

The couple first shared a kiss during an Aladdin-themed sketch on Saturday Night Live.

In October, they first sparked romance rumors when they were snapped holding hands on a rollercoaster ride at an amusement park in Southern California.

By: Niki Gatewood (@THE_NikiG)Category: Rumors

Recently, an illustrious gossip rag is reporting that the City Girls are “officially OVER.” Of course, this baseless allegation is arousing angst in many of their day-one supporters. Therefore, JT blasts online trolls wondering if City Girls are breaking up.

Immediately following, Yung Miami’s birthday party, unfounded rumors started swirling. After that celebratory event, I-spy-internet-detectives are purporting that the Rap duo are on the outs. Since, Ms. Johnson was not at the party there must be trouble in paradise. Que the gasps.

However, the “Jobs” spitter vehemently volunteers her side of the story. Although, she did not attend her counterpart’s celebration, she confidently explains why. Thus, the “Girl Code” lyricist does not take well to being accused of treacherous behaviors.

So, she took the time and straightens out any misunderstandings. Even though, the question appears easy enough. Yet, the “Rodeo” rhymer curtly rattles off her clapback. “but no fr why jt never come to her birthday events?”

At any rate, the “Act Up” entertainer takes the time to address the inquiry. She candidly quips, “B#### don’t ever write this page again you want a reply?? Here’s your moment!” Next, JT offers even more descriptive language. “Ghost face nasty wig! 2015 birthday dress, ugly ass shoes! Little ass girl stay in your little ass place!

Additionally, the Liberty City includes a more thorough explanation. Soon, she adds, Her birthdays are always out of the country! I’ve been in prison or probation since y’all known us! Moreover, she mentions, “Her birthday is February the11th, I couldn’t make the 3rd because of something that’s not y’all business.”

T. Thomas Fortune – The Militant Ex-Slave Who Revolutionized Journalism

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: Black History

Uncompromising in his defense for the rights of fellow African-Americans, T. Thomas Fortune fought for justice throughout his long career as a journalist. 

Timothy Thomas Fortune was born into slavery in 1856. His parents were Sarah Jane and Emanuel Fortune. Throughout his childhood, Thomas regularly witnessed the violence from the Ku Klux Klan, motivated by extreme political views. 

Fortune’s father was one of the two African-Americans elected as delegates in Florida’s constitutional convention. After being targeted by the Klan, his father was forced to flee, and Thomas became the man of the house. 

With no more than three years of education, Fortune still enrolled at Howard University in 1874. He was an avid reader and a keen learner, but a difficult financial situation forced him to leave after just one year. 

However, he did manage to complete a few law courses. 

After leaving college, T. Thomas Fortune taught at a school in Florida and worked for the Jacksonville Daily Union. However, he quickly realized that he faced an uphill battle living as an African-American in Florida. 

So, he moved to New York and took the lessons he had gained from growing up in a period of Reconstruction. 

During the 1880s, Fortune became frustrated with how both the Democrats and the Republicans handled the protection of Black American rights in the South. 

He frequently published articles supporting political independence and castigated both. 

In 1881, the New York Globe was launched, and Fortune succeeded John F. Quarles as editor. The Globe, along with its successors, the New York Freeman and New York Age, was widely heralded as the most outstanding “race papers” in America. 

Fortune was forced to leave the Globe after it was declared that it would become a Republican paper. The Republican Party refused to subsidize the paper until Fortune left his post. 

By 1884, Fortune had decided that the country needed a national organization to fight for all African-Americans’ political and civil rights. He suggested that this should resemble an all-black version of the Irish National League. 

In 1890, the Afro-American League was formed to protect Black voters in the South and end the lynching. 

The organization also worked to ensure that school funds were equalized for both races. The organization gained support from both the Black press and conventions. 

However, leading Black politicians refused to support it, so the league folded in 1893. 

T. Thomas Fortune formed a working relationship with Booker T. Washington, who later became a direct advisor for Theodore Roosevelt on matters of race. 

Under immense pressure in his professional life, Fortune suffered from issues with his mental health. Towards the end of his life, Fortune explored various writing assignments. He died in Philadelphia. 

The Paper The Negro World published a Eulogy naming him as one of the leaders in improving the lives of Black Americans at that time, placing his work above that of Booker T. Washington while rivaling Frederick Douglass. 

The work of T. Thomas Fortune paved the way for the campaigns of the likes of the NAACP, Malcolm X, and Stokely Carmichael. Like Dr. Martin Luther King, Fortune used his skills with the written word to call for love and unity between races, despite his horrific early years. 

T. Thomas Fortune is featured as a character in HBO’s new hit series “The Gilded Age.”
