Mary J. Blige has partnered with Lifetime to turn her hit single “Real Love” into a movie.
Lifetime plans to release a made-for-TV film titled Real Love, which is inspired by Mary J. Blige’s song of the same name. The Queen of Hip Hop Soul will be one of the movie’s executive producers.

The film version of Real Love is described as “coming-of-age romantic drama.” Sony Pictures Television will be the movie’s distributor.

Yung Craka, an upcoming Irish rapper with a unique background and creative prowess made his debut in the industry at the age of 21. Becoming a recording artist was a dream come true for a young man living in the countryside with nothing but views and hopes. One day all of that changed as he embarked on his journey to becoming that which was thought to be impossible.
Growing up with musical influence from Joji and Kanye West, Yung Craka created his own lane in the industry which would ultimately land him the amazing opportunity to work with the renowned Shotgun Willy. After making strides to network with established artists to get more leverage in the game, Yung Craka reached out to Shotgun Willy and sent a song he was ready to release.
After hearing Yung Craka’s masterpiece, Willy decided to direct Yung Craka to delete the verses and offered to jump on the record himself. Skyrocketing the TikTok charts, their newly founded creation, “Oreo” climbed the charts bringing in massive exposure solidifying Yung Craka’s position in the industry.
With much success, Yung Craka continues dropping songs that were looked upon as gems including his hit single, “Buy U” released in 2019. Yung Craka is developing new songs as we speak gearing up for another major release in the near future.

Raiche is the definition of a music-lover, someone who spends her waking hours in the studio perfecting her craft. Wearing her heart on her sleeve with each release, the Pittsfield, Massachusetts native creates her own version of modern-day R&B, reeling in soulful influences with her smooth, sultry vocals that demand confidence and positivity. Her love for instrumentation makes her ballads anthemic, and that’s the kind of energy we are on all 2022.
After moving to Boston at age 19 and meeting DJ Knock Out, she eventually caught the attention of Prince Charlez and Chris Jones who signed Raiche to their Island Prolific label in partnership with GDE and Atlantic Records. Since then, she’s only grown, discovering not only herself but what she wants to accomplish in the music industry.
Most recently, Raiche unveiled her “Complicated (Remastered)” single, redoing the original from 4 years ago. This arrives on the heels of her previous single “Burn Your Clothes,” a smooth-sailing track that embodies the struggle of love and going back and forth with your lover. Both songs hold fans over until the release of Raiche’s forthcoming album LOVELAND, slated to be released sometime this year.
AllHipHop: How are you liking LA?
Raiche: I love LA. I actually used to hate LA, I didn’t understand it. I want to move here. When things open up and when the right time is for me, I’m really a go with the flow type of girl. Not trying to rush or stress things if it’s not meant to be. Things are opening up over here, I was just working with a bunch of great producers. Literally so good, out of here. Out of this freaking world. I guess I never really truly understood it because I’m new to the business. But lately, I was just working with The Stereotypes yesterday. Insane! Also Sebastian Kole, he’s a writer. He wrote Alessia Cara’s “Here.” So sweet.. He’s the realist person I’ve ever met.
AllHipHop: What does it mean to be working with such big producers?
Raiche: I literally came home last night and was like [gasps]. I’m really always so go go go, I don’t normally stop and understand how dope that really is.
AllHipHop: Did you learn anything from that session?
Raiche: I’m learning in general as I’m creating. Sebastian’s main advice is to be as expressive as possible in your writing. Now that I’ve grown older, I understand more things. You have to say exactly how you’re feeling, tell exactly what you’re going through and don’t leave anything out.
AllHipHop: What inspires you the most when you’re in the studio?
Raiche: My relationships. Sebastian pointed out a whole new perspective. I told him about the situationship I’m in and he made me see it from a different perspective. I’ve been digging to figure It out, he’s like “oh it’s this.” I’m like oh s###, it is that! It made me step back and get a better grip on my love life.
AllHipHop: Do the guys you date know they’re songs about them?
Raiche: They have to. That’s one thing I think about. [laughs] How can I not write about my life. I wouldn’t know what else to say. I like my music to be relatable for others while making them feel in control of themselves.
AllHipHop: You recently dropped “Complicated (Remastered),” what made you redo this record?
Raiche: I wanted it to feel younger. There were big breaks in between and before the verses. It was just very long. People just want to consume it quickly. We changed the beat and I re-cut the vocals. It feels a lot fresher and fun.
AllHipHop: When did you put out the original one?
Raiche: Like 4 years ago on my debut EP DRIVE.
AllHipHop: What was Raiche like then?
Raiche: Young, she didn’t know herself. She was trying. A young state of mind where I was easily swayed and controlled.
AllHipHop: How was it doing the in-studio performance?
Raiche: It was fun! I love performing. I’ve grown so much.
AllHipHop: I saw your post saying “Shout out to ya if you chose peace instead of running back to your ex on Valentine’s Day.” Is that what the song did for you?
Raiche: Yes, exactly. I used to be like that. Just one little text and I’d be there. It took me 6 years. The guy that this song’s about, it was forever ago. I’m so over it now, thank God. It was awful. I realized how small-minded he was. I like to grow, I like to expand. If a man’s not doing that for themselves, it’s a turn off to me. It took a hot minute for me to get over that phase of coming back and being at their beckon call.
AllHipHop: You recently covered Ari Lennox, what did that mean? She’s so beautiful!
Raiche: She’s so beautiful and incredible. I love her originality. Ari doesn’t give a **** about anybody and I respect that. She’s so raw. I love that real gritty raw, that’s something I’m so into. I saw her perform at a Grammy party in Atlanta. It was the night that I recorded “Burn Your Clothes.” I took a little break and went over, she was there performing with a big fur coat on. Simple, she killed it. Baby Rose was there too, it was beautiful.
AllHipHop: Any updates on the B.o.B single?
Raiche: Oh dude, we just wrote another one. I need to get back to Atlanta and finish it. But definitely coming, for sure.
AllHipHop: How was the second time around?
Raiche: Good! He’s a friend. He’s so dope. We just vibe like that. We’ll create whatever, whenever.
AllHipHop: When you’re in the studio with these legends who have made their mark, do you ask for any advice?
Raiche: I ask questions all of the time. Oh my God, I picked his brain. The first time I met him, I was a little held back, reserved, respectful. Feel out the vibe. The second time, he’s always got tricks and it’s a little party vibe at his house. The vibe was more open there. I picked his brain about everything, it was really awesome. He gave me a lot of good insight.
AllHipHop: You turned 26 in January, how’d you celebrate?
Raiche: This was the saddest birthday I’ve ever had. I was breaking up with my boyfriend and I was moving that day. We lived together and I needed to get out. I finally got a spot and was ready to be out. It was awful, I was crying the whole day moving. I was packing up, it’s raining too. It was awful. [laughs] After that, [whistles]. Everything opened up. Breath of fresh air. I literally feel like an entire new person. It feels really good, I’m just trying to stay grounded. Keep on that path.
AllHipHop: What do you want fans to get from your forthcoming project, Loveland?
Raiche: A bunch. It’s really an expression of different types of love in my life.I just want people to feel.
AllHipHop: You spend the majority of your days working, what do you like to do for self-care?
Raiche: I’m a Capricorn. The main thing for Capricorns is breath work, so I’ve been really working on that. That’s grounding. I’ve been working out too. Also taking time to literally set my phone for 10 minutes, this is what I’ve been doing. Trying to clear my mind and work through whatever else I’m going through.
AllHipHop: What’re you most excited for next?
Raiche: I’m making such good music! I am so happy, I’ve grown so much. I’ve been able to grow. The right people around me have really nurtured me to grow right now, I am thriving. Just to make lots of great music. I’ve been working with some really incredible people, my mind is blown that I’m even in this position. Really trying to be grateful. Sometimes I’m very much a workaholic and will do, do, do and never see the progress of it. So taking a moment to really appreciate them, it’s very gratifying and exciting.
AllHipHop: Any advice for someone who wants to do what you do?
Raiche: Take advice, but don’t depend on other people’s advice. When I was younger, I really depended on it. It led me to be controlled in this weird bubble where I wasn’t even myself. My advice would be to just trust yourself, still listen to other people’s opinion, and get a good lawyer.
AllHipHop: Anything else you wanna let the people know?
Raiche: I want a sphynx cat, a hairless cat. Slap some fake tattoos on it, put a little coat on it. Oh my gosh. I’m just really excited. Thank you, you’re so awesome!
Jacques Laine is a highly skilled rapper from Newburgh, New York and he’s an artist you should have on your radar if you don’t already. The quickly-rising rapper and lyricist has released the first track off his highly-anticipated upcoming album — the single is called “Piano Riff.” The new tune has received impressive traction so far, leaving audiences wanting more from Laine and eagerly anticipating his album.
“Piano Riff” was produced by Just Da 1 and samples Mike Dean’s piano keys from Jay-Z’s Magna Carta album on the classic track “Somewhere In America,” (originally sampled from Jimmy Norman’s “Gangster of Love”) and presents Jacques from a vantage point reflecting on his triumphs and tribulations. Authenticity is a rare yet sought-after attribute among today’s artists, serving as the fuel that may build or ruin a career. It’s clear that authenticity comes naturally to Laine, and it plays a big part in his self-described “fresh, New York sound.”
Jacques Laine said in a recent interview that growing up in Newburgh, NY definitely played a role in the type of music he makes and his sound today.
“Content-wise, my upbringing in Newburgh plays a big role in the things I discuss in my music, whether it’s my stories or those of the people I grew up with and care about,” he says. “I have to use my gift to shed light on a lot of the things we’re going through but either don’t have a platform to use or are too uncomfortable to speak on. I’m a very blunt and straightforward person and I think that shows up in my music in a relatable way.”
“And in areas they claimed I couldn’t go, I fell in love with some ladies who said they wouldn’t leave,” he raps on the beat.
“‘Piano Riff’ being the first single has a special place in my heart and it’s really me in my full lyricist bag with no hook or anything. Just bar after bar,” he continued. “I wrote it towards the end of summer when there were a lot of things going on back home.”
While fans steadily wait for Jacques Laine’s upcoming project, “Piano Riff,” is available to stream on all platforms. Stay tapped in with him @845jacques on Instagram.
Rapper and singer Lizzo wants people to know that she is fully aware of her full-bodied physique.
In an interview with People magazine, she sounded off on all of the comments people have about her weight.
She started off by stating flatly, “We all know I’m fat.”
The artist, who is rumored to scale in at a little over 300 lbs., has embraced a mindset of body positivity and is moving toward a healthier lifestyle.

During those infamous demon hours (1:24 AM), he hopped on the post and tweeted a series of “looky look” eyes and heart-eyed emojis.
Today, she has the same confidence.
“I think I have a really hot body! I’m a body icon, and I’m embracing that more and more every day,” told the magazine. “It may not be one person’s ideal body type just like, say, Kim Kardashian might not be someone’s ideal, but she’s a body icon and has created a modern-day beauty standard. And what I’m doing is stepping into my confidence and my power to create my own beauty standard.”
She is hopeful about expanding the ideals of beauty, saying, “And one day that will just be the standard.”

Wendy Williams’ ex-husband is suing the production company responsible for her hit show, The Wendy Williams Show, for wrongful termination.
Court documents show that on Monday, Feb. 28, a civil lawsuit has been filed in New York City federal court claiming that Debmar-Mercury wrongfully fired Kevin Hunter “on the basis of his marital status” to Williams.
In April of 2019, Hunter was fired from the show as an executive producer. He was let go a week after Williams filed for divorce after his girlfriend Sharina Hudson popped up pregnant.
According to Page Six, Abe George, the lawyer representing the cheating ex, said, “Hunter was one of the reasons behind the Wendy William Show’s tremendous success and everything seemed to go south after he left.”
Hunter says that he helped developed some of the segments that made the show a hit like “Hot Topics,” ”Shoe Cam,” and “Hot Seat.”
“This lawsuit seeks to compensate Mr. Hunter for the sweat equity that he put into the show and that Debmar-Mercury will continue to profit on even in their new reincarnation of the Wendy Williams Show,” George further stated, acknowledging that show will go on with a new host in upcoming seasons.
Court documents name Debmar-Mercury founders, Ira Bernstein and Mort Marcus, as defendants and seeks a monetary award of at least $7 million, as well as punitive damages, lost wages and legal fees. Hunter and his legal team would like a trial by jury.
Kim Kardashian is legally single again but that’s not stopping Kanye West from going after her boyfriend Pete Davidson.
Kanye West kidnaps and buries an animated version of Pete Davidson in the video for “Eazy,” a collaboration with The Game. ‘Ye dropped the video via Instagram after a judge granted Kim Kardashian’s request to legally become single on Wednesday (March 2).
Kim Kardashian filed to divorce Kanye West in February 2021. Although she’s legally single now, the divorce proceedings are ongoing. The two still have to settle other matters, such as custody of their four children.
The Game and Kanye West’s song “Eazy” features the latter taking shots at Kim Kardashian’s parenting.
“I watched four kids for like five hours today/I wear these Yeezy boots everywhere, even in the shower today/I got love for the nannies, but real family is better/The cameras watch the kids, y’all stop taking the credit/Noncustodial dad, I bought the house next door/What you think the point of really being rich for?” ‘Ye raps.
Kanye West also disses Pete Davidson on the track and ramps up his threats in the video. ‘Ye has repeatedly targeted the comedian since the Saturday Night Live star started dating Kim Kardashian.
“God saved me from that crash just so I can beat Pete Davidson’s ass,” ‘Ye proclaims on “Eazy.”
According to Variety, the list was curated by former Forbes editor Zack O’Malley Greenberg and posted on Tuesday, Mar. 1.
The Roc Nation founder has bested every other rap act as the highest-earning Hip-Hop act of 2021 … including Yeezy.
Jigga, whose real name is Shawn Carter, topped the list by bringing in a whopping $470 million. In 2021, he made some meteoric deals including selling portions of his Tidal streaming service and Armand de Brignac champagne.
Kanye came in at #2. Last year, he made $250 million for the year. Despite his epic clothing deal with Gap, the creation of the STEM gadget, Sunday Service, and the release of DONDA, his income came mostly from his Yeezy footwear empire.
The list is actually incredibly shocking. It features only one female, Doja Cat (arguably not a rapper) who falls in at earning $25 million in one year.
Names like Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Saweetie, and Megan thee Stallion, women who seem to be making moves and deals, did not crack this top ten list.
It is bugged to see the independent Tech N9ne rounding out the Top 10. The artist brought in, using digital sales and a catalog sale deal alone, $25 million also.
Diddy, who has been on this list since the 90s, remains active landing in the #3 spot with an earning of $75 million.
And Drake, with so many are counting his bread based on his lavish lifestyle and the millions of dollars he seems to be throwing into battle rap, hits that #4 spot, by earning $50 million.
Others that made the list are Wiz Khalifa ($45M), Travis Scott ($38M), DJ Khaled ($35M), Eminem ($28M), J. Cole ($27 M), and Birdman ($25M).
Rapper Kanye West has fired another divorce lawyer, despite his hearing to determine whether or not Kim Kardashian-West can consider herself single coming up on Wednesday, Mar. 2.
According to TMZ, Yeezy terminated Chris Melcher, the last attorney working on his behalf to save his marriage. The sources say that the chart-topper did was having problems with the lawyer for some time and that he and his legal beagle had stopped communicating well.
Rumors now say that he is looking to work with Samantha Spector, the lawyer who represented Nicole Young when she divorced Dr. Dre last year. Kim’s lawyer is Laura Wasser, the same person that represented Dr. Dre’s interest during the 2021 divorce.
If the speculation is true, Spector and Wasser will be rematched and this will be Kanye’s 4th attorney.
Fans know that the producer has been ripping through lawyers because of a statement that his now-wife posted on her Instagram.
“Hopefully he can finally respond to the third attorney he has had in the last year to resolve any issues amicably,” she wrote.
Court documents say that tomorrow’s hearing may be a virtual event. Kardashian-West has already confirmed that she will not be in person and most people believe that neither will Ye. The lawyers will duke it out.
Pacman da Gunman and Hit-Boy are on and rolling. The West Coast’s best new rapper-producer duo look to capitalize off the success of their first single “Find a Balance” featuring Dom Kennedy with a brand new single from their forthcoming project “Bulletproof Soul”.

The history-making story of Murder Inc. Records is coming to television in the near future. BET will broadcast a five-part documentary series about the music company started by Irving “Irv Gotti”Lorenzo.
“My life and Murder Inc. has been filled with many highs and lows. I got to work with my brothers and a lot of great people; from Jay-Z, DMX, Fat Joe, Mary J. Blige, to name a few,” states Irv Gotti, Founder/CEO of Murder Inc. Records.
Gotti continues, “Also, I got to start my record label, Murder Inc. Records, with Ja Rule by my side. My life was filled with great lows, but I’m not ashamed of those lows. It all helped make me the person I am today. So, with this documentary series, I plan to tell the truth and nothing but the truth so help me God.”
Murder Inc. was once the label home of Ja Rule, Ashanti, Lloyd, Charli Baltimore, Vita, Black Child, Caddillac Tah, and other acts. The New York City-based enterprise launched in 1999 with Ja Rule’s debut studio album Venni Vetti Vecci.
The Murder Inc Doc Is Scheduled To Arrive This Summer
“Pain is Love,” says Ja Rule. “We endured the pain so others could feel the love.” The award-winning rapper released numerous projects – such as 2000’s Rule 3:36, 2001’s Pain Is Love, 2002’s The Last Temptation, and 2004’s R.U.L.E. – via Murder Inc Records.
BET will premiere the Murder Inc.docuseries in Summer 2022. Irv Gotti, Ja Rule, Darcell Lawrence, and Chris Costine are credited as the documentary’s executive producers for Visionary Ideas.

BET EVP Promises A Compelling Music Doc
“Music is in our DNA. We thank our long-standing partner Irv Gotti, and the many talented artists at the iconic label for trusting our brand to tell their personal and inspiring stories,” states Tiffany Lea Williams.
The Executive Vice President of BET Unscripted Programming adds, “We look forward to bringing viewers a compelling music documentary series that reveals how this label consequently changed the music industry forever.”
Previously, BET aired other music-based documentaries covering Death Row Records (2018), No Limit Records (2020), and Ruff Ryders Entertainment (2020). No Limit Chronicles totaled 3.1 million total viewers during its three-week premiere run. The first episode of Ruff Ryders Chronicles drew over 1 million total viewers.
With his unassuming swag and arsenal of beats, Miami producer Reazy Renegade has been producing some of your favorite hits for years, and has sought to establish his name as a solo artist. The producer has worked with the likes of Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, Ace Hood, Dave East and Moneybagg Yo. With songs like ‘Get Paid’ by Young Dolph, or ‘Phone Jumpin’ by Dave East and Wiz Khalifa, and even ‘I Ride’ with DJ Khaled and Future, Reazy Renegade tag was known but the #RenegadeChallenge made him a household name.
Reazy Renegade and ATL Hip-Hop vocalist K Camp are back together once again, this time with Rich the Kid for “Ballin”. The track is fun. The synergy between K Camp and Renegade has been evident since they released “C.O.D.” Adding Rich The Kid to the party makes it feel like a Bop you didn’t know you needed until the song plays. With the video set to release in March, we can only imagine how this song will get us ready to reclaim the streets as Spring begins to creep in.
As a matter of fact, Chicago’s W.E. is working to establish himself a resounding name. In recent past, he leaves his position with the 1017 Eskimos imprint. So, what prompts Lil Wop to launch an e-attack on Gucci Mane? Moreover, what is the rationale behind Twitter starting to roast the Midwest musician?
Although, Gucci is steadily collecting his blessings and minding his business, with his former boss, the emerging entertainer seems to be preoccupied. Moreover, on Monday evening (Feb. 28), the “Lost My Mind” rapper tweets out an interesting message. Indeed, he seems to be tentatively firing off wifi shots.
The Powder Puff Assault.
I’m Not Signed To 1017. I Got Out My Contract With Them In 2018. And I Don’t F### With Gucci Mane He’s A Weirdo!
As a matter of fact, Famous Dex’s cousin sends out the following message. “I’m Not Signed To 1017. I Got Out My Contract With them in 2018,” he boasts. Additionally, he ensures to include, “And I Don’t F### With Gucci Mane He’s A Weirdo!”
To put it differently, several years have gone by since Mr. Ghoul has directly worked with Gucci Mane. With this in mind, he may be finally mustering up the courage to share his true feelings. Generally speaking, it requires immense fearlessness to speak one’s mind and to live one’s truth.
The Swift Clap Back.
By and large, the decision to live with unabashed audacity does not excuse donkey behavior. All in all, Twitter believes that these Lil Wop actions are disrespectful. Of course, it is readily expressing its belief.
So did you fck gucci mane also? Were u payed to make sho u not tell ? Since u came out?🤔 pic.twitter.com/vJLHS3E2SC
Ultimately, Lil Wop is responsible for his actions and his words. With time, hopefully whatever issues he has with Gucci Mane will be amicably resolved.
Thus far, pursuing justice in the case of Flippa’s murder is yielding more puzzling questions than solid answers. Needless to say, the conspiracy theories are liberally running amuck. So, recently the Young Dolph Memorial Site caretaker, Jeremiah Taylor is shot and killed. Of course, this tragic event, only adds more misery to the depressing saga.
The Man.
Similar, to the PRE boss, the late Mr. Taylor also grows up in the Castalia Heights neighborhood. Moreover, on several occasions he has the opportunity to chop it up with Adolph. Needless to say, from witnessing his actions Jeremiah grows to emphatically respect the “Preach” artist.
Previously, while speaking with Memphis’ ABC 24, Taylor talks about some of the reasons he honors Paper Route Frank. As a matter of fact, Jeremiah shares an impressive list. Indeed, some of these reasons include, “taking care of his community, being a philanthropist and promoting financial independence.” Furthermore, it’s these consistent actions which continue to build upon the Memphis musician’s enduring legacy.
Although, pertaining to the circumstances of Mr. Taylor’s killing, it continues to remain mysterious. So, what is evident, is that while Taylor’s driving his vehicle he was shot. Ultimately, he is unable to recover, crashes into a pole. Thus far, to solve this murder, the Memphis Police department is still working diligently.
The Actions.
Be that as it may, “it is not known if there is any connection between this killing and Young Dolph’s shooting,” this according to Fox 13 Memphis. However, what is evident Taylor’s motivation to share positivity. Not to mention, back in January, Jeremiah candidly reveals why he begins to serve as one of the lauded lyricist memorial’s caretakers.
“This really put me in a bad situation, mentally,” confesses Taylor. Additionally, he offers, that in order to help bolster his “mental health” is why he begins to serve. Overall, his purpose is pure. He sincerely shares, ” I want them to know — people around the world — that we care about Dolph. We’re not going to have his stuff looking any type of way.”
To the family and to the friends of Jeremiah Taylor, AllHipHop.com, extends its deepest condolences.
Two of the most well-known Hip Hop media figures are going back and forth on their respective platforms. Hot 97 on-air talent Peter Rosenberg had a lot to say about DJ Akademiks, and the Off the Record podcaster fired back.
“Akademiks talks a lot of trash for someone who would go broke if Twitch and YouTube got shut down,” tweeted Peter Rosenberg on February 23. That post was a response to Ak’s coverage of the Tory Lanez criminal case.
That same day, Megan Thee Stallion slammed DJ Akademiks. Meg took issue with Ak reporting about alleged DNA information that had not been presented in court yet. The “Thot Sh*t” rapper and the blogger then got into a fiery exchange on social media.

DJ Akademiks decided to respond to Rosenberg on Twitch. The former Rutgers University student referred to Rosenberg’s take on internet media as “outdated” and called Ebro In The Morning a “failing show.”
UPDATE: Tory Lanez trial adjourned til April with Tory’s lawyer telling the court they have completed DNA results from the prosecution which is very pleasing to his client. (I saw this doc myself.. it literally says it was inconclusive in finding TORY DNA on the gun or magazine)
Chicago-bred rappers Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa have gone through ups and downs as friends and colleagues. Following a falling out, the two emcees reunited on “Shelter” with Wyclef Jean in 2021.
Prior to that, Chance and Vic joined forces for songs such as “Family,” “Suitcase,” “Tweakin’,” and “Cocoa Butter Kisses.” The two 2014 XXL Freshman Class members also appeared together on tracks by Donnie Trumpet and Mick Jenkins.
It appears Chance The Rapper and Vic Mensa will trade bars again on an upcoming track. Chance teased the possible collaboration with his SaveMoney brethren on Instagram.
Yesterday, a 43-second clip showed up on the @chancetherapper IG page with a caption that read, “Felt cute might delete later.” Listeners can hear Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper rhyming about “poor folks” and “George Washington,” respectively.
Chance The Rapper has been posting song snippets on social media for several weeks. Another IG video from February 17 featured Chance and Vic Mensa working on music in a studio.
Chance The Rapper released his debut studio album, The Big Day, in 2019. His discography also includes 2012’s 10 Day mixtape, 2013’s Acid Rap mixtape, and 2016’s Grammy-winning Coloring Book mixtape.
Vic Mensa dropped The Autobiography album in 2017. The Roc Nation signee originally broke out with his 2013 self-released Innanetape mixtape. He later let loose 2016’s There’s Alot Going On and 2017’s The Manuscript EPs.
