He never planned to become a creator or musician but was inspired by the likes of G-Eazy and his childhood friends. His debut album was titled Young & Naïve and is considered by Orchestrate96 as one of his greatest achievements. He is now preparing for his next album Money Baby.

One soulful hit that speaks loudly is his “Redbone” freestyle. This is a remix of Childish Gambino’s song where Grace The Martyr vents talking about his troubled childhood upbringing. Bar for bar, Grace The Martyr rhymes while still talking about real issues plaguing the African American community.
Grace The Martyr hopes his music can be a light so that others can be heard. So far, this mission statement has resonated with his fans, making him next up on the list to blow up as an artist.
Favorable news has cleared rapper Polo G of assault in a case regarding officers in Miami. Charges are said to have been dropped, giving the chart-topper and his team reason to celebrate.
According to TMZ, Florida prosecutors will not go forward with two felony charges of battery of a police officer, threatening a public servant, and one misdemeanor charge for criminal mischief.
They did not have enough evidence for a conviction.
He was accused of battering a cop named Officer Brandon Carrero, resisting arrest with violence and criminal mischief. They also said that he threatened to kill the arresting officers accompanying Carrero.
Luckily for Polo G, the activities of the night were caught on their police body cameras and other surveillance cameras around the area.
The Chicago artist, who was arrested right after dropping his third studio album Hall of Fame, stated at the time that “1 of the officers told us they [were] on us since we got off our jet… They [playing] foul in Miami and [that] s### been like that for a minute.”
1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got Off our Jet…..
The “RAPSTAR” recording artist is still facing two charges for resisting an officer.
According to his legal team, Polo G agreed to enroll in an anger management program, and upon the completion of said program, those charges will also be dropped.

“Yeah. And I keep a Bible in my car so you know it’s really real.”
“Blessed.”
“Yeah.”
Still riding high, in birthday mode, Drake celebrates at the latter part of October 2021. But, this is no ordinary birthday party in Long Beach, California. His aides bring out Hennessy bottle after Hennessy bottle, with a seemingly endless number of translucent plastic cups for the roughly two thousand people inside the impressive Thunder Studios.
Keep it a buck. Drake is the biggest rap star in the game, hands down. But on the night before Halloween, the multi-million record seller, and multi-million dollar man is seen mingling in a weed-smoke, capacity-filled battle arena swigging Henny with regular fans and battle emcees. Cameras, helmed by Caffenine’s team, swivel and twist to get shots of Drizzy’s every move. This ain’t even Drake’s show, party or concert. This is URL, the Ultimate Rap League, and it is one of the hottest tickets in Hip-Hop right now.
Drake, the business, moves wisely and strategically. So, on the surface, this is a passion project, fun and perhaps even charitable. Under the surface, one of the most important, reciprocal relationships has emerged. The die-hard West Coast audience concurs, almost in unison: “Drake is GOOD here” and “Drake aiight with me.” To the outsider, he’s instantly a champion of the hungriest, grittiest MCs in Hip-Hop – the battle rapper. URL is synonymous with brutality, where bars are like bare-knuckle boxing. It is also a far contrast to the perception of the Canadian phenom.
The Ultimate Rap League, founded in New York City, is now run by Troy “Smack White” Mitchell, Eric Beasley, and Jean “Cheeko” French, three unlikely executives that have managed to rise as the dominant, most powerful battle rap league. Drake is hardly the first notable to become a fan of URL. Jay-Z, Diddy, Method Man, Busta Rhymes, Nick Cannon, French Montana, Beanie Sigel, Jay-Z, Bow Wow, Mos Def, Jadakiss, Lupe Fiasco, boxer Adrien Broner, hooper Kevin Durant, comedian DC Young Fly, and numerous others have shown their love and support of URL. Tonight in Long Beach, Lil Mama and Mckey Factz are in attendance, and Freeway and Cassidy are on hand to announce a rematch to their impromptu in-studio battle from 20 years ago, to which Freeway was on the losing side.
Drake’s involvement is different than those in the past.
“Drake’s Til Death Do Us Part” epitomizes the lengths of the commitment and respect Drizzy has shown Smack, Beasley, and Cheeko. Not only did he help facilitate the deal with Caffeine, the live streaming app, but he’s now an active participant in the culture of battle rap. No longer a mere spectator, Drake is now a part of the story that could yield everything from higher payouts to more mainstream notoriety. There’s even talk of a million-dollar battle. But all is not perfect.
In the aftermath of the “Til Death Do Us Part,” Murda Mook – who dropped off the card – complained that the 6 God was now taking more than he’s giving. “This is supposed to be for us, our culture, we lit,” he said on Instagram Live. “We just giving our sh#t up like that? Oh man, sh#t getting crazy out here.” Furthermore, he alleged the rapper did not create the battle card himself, as was advertised. Regardless, Drake’s tenure stands, as a fan and a businessman.
Drake said in a statement: “I’ve always loved URL and admired what Smack and his team have been able to create. It just wasn’t easily accessible. It’s exciting to be in a position where I’m able to bring Caffeine to the table and help provide URL with the tools they need to elevate the viewing experience and make it more accessible to fans.”
Drake is smart as hell. And so are the URL guys, building their platform brick by brick since 2009.
Both entities are assuredly successful without each other so they definitely do not need one another. Still, they have infinite potential together. Drake’s tentacles now extend deep into the most authentic part of Hip-Hop – the battle. And URL now gets the press and pageantry that was once regulated to the underworld like illegal fight clubs.
If you are not a rapper, the business of Rap and Hip-Hop can be tricky. If you do innovate or, more importantly, disrupt, the sharks will come. In fact, they tend to eat young companies wholly or blackball them when they are not working to enrich the already rich. URL has bypassed tradition while gaining more favor with one of the music industry’s titans. Despite his critics, Drake gets respect for being a good guy that certainly could have tried his hand at a battle league like Eminem or Snoop. But no, he chooses to partner up with URL, as Smack, Beasley, and Cheeko maintain ownership.
On November 15, 2021, the Universal Hip Hop Museum and AllHipHop.com are set to celebrate Hip Hop History Month by highlighting The Geto Boys and the accomplishments of Scarface, one of their members.
Scarface dropped on the scene in 1989 as a member of the iconic Southern Hip Hop crew the Geto Boys. But this Houston native’s career reaches far beyond his first Rap-A-Lot crew.
His 11 studio album discography (all debuting in Billboard’s top 100). Named as #16 on The Source’s list of the Top 50 Lyricists of All Time, he also has had a distinguished career as a record executive.
He was the first president of Def Jam South. Great music is only one aspect of his iconic career. As a community stakeholder, he has run for office using his celebrity and ideals to change the community.
On Friday, November 15, 1991, the legendary Geto Boys, supported by 3rd Bass and MC Breed, performed at the TCC Arena in Tucson, Arizona.
Just a few months earlier they had released their breakthrough single “Mind Playing Tricks on Me.” The classic track is one of the most insightful songs about mental health and has appeared on numerous “Best Rap Songs” lists over the years.
Hip Hop icon Scarface wrote three of the song’s four verses, inspired by his grandmother.
DaBaby and DaniLeigh’s relationship drama continues to play out on social media.
After calling the cops on DaniLeigh over the weekend, DaBaby aired out his baby mama’s family on Monday. The controversial rapper claimed DaniLeigh’s parents disowned their grandchild for being half-Black.
“Y’ALL DISOWNED Y’ALL HALF BLACK GRAND BABY, SOON AS Y’ALL COULDN’T CONTROL Y’ALL DAUGHTER,” he wrote via Instagram Stories.
DaBaby’s post featured a video of him holding his infant daughter. In the footage, he defended his parenting and said DaniLeigh’s parents have never seen their grandchild.
“Daddy first, celebrity after,” he remarked. “All that b####### y’all was hearing was what it was. My baby was with me right here in my arms.”
He added, “The shawty’s family is trying to chime in and speak on the situation,” he said. “Y’all don’t even know her. She don’t know y’all either. She ain’t never seen y’all a day in her life. Shawty’s mana, you ain’t even met your grandbaby yet.”
DaniLeigh wasn’t happy about DaBaby letting the public see their daughter. She slammed her baby daddy in a reaction post on Instagram Stories.
“SAD .. THAT’S HOW Y’ALL HAD TO SEE MY BABY FOR THE FIRST TIME,” she wrote. “EVIL ASS MAN.”
For more on the situation, read AllHipHop’s story about the heated argument between DaBaby and DaniLeigh that occurred on Sunday.
After seeing the sheer ridiculousness of Beanie Sigel not accepting $50 million from Kanye West, I had to look into this.
OK, I did not look into anything really. I happened to look at Boxden and saw a picture of Beanie and Kanye yucking it up at a recent event. They seem really happy, and that is a real moment. Check it out.
I am thinking about it and It could go either way. I am thinking Yeezy and Beanie worked something out. Some currency was exchanged, in my opinion but I cannot quite figure out what. Beanie has a certain glow about him that only a person that had a recent change of fortune has. If you give me $5,000, you will see the same sort of face that Beanie Sigel has in the first picture.
By the way, this happened at Kanye West’s Sunday Service jawn event. I wonder if Beanie and Kanye prayed together over communion or something über Christian? That would be dope. Anyway, I know very little more about the whole thing. Oh – I did hear that Kanye was with his kids, doing some serious daddy duties. By the way, he still wants to get back with Kimmie K, according to reports, but she’s out cavorting with some white dudes.
Men’s magazine GQ is set to honor Lil Nas X by placing him on the cover for the “Men Of The Year” issue. The image is striking as it has the artist on the cover “doubled up,” hugging himself.
According to ET Canada, what made the “Montero” rapper such a great candidate for inclusion on the cover is how boldly he has represented the LGBTQIA+ community in the traditionally homophobic Hip-Hop community.
“It’s so great and so amazing that all these female rappers are breaking through. And, in a way, female rappers are the biggest rappers right now. I do feel like this newer generation of rappers who are coming in, and the ones who are here, are going to have to reshape their thoughts,” the 22-year-old chart-topper said. “Because change is happening. There’s going to be so many gay rappers. There’s going to be more trans people in the industry and whatnot. Ten years from now, everything that I’m doing won’t even seem like it was shocking.”
Lil Nas X also said he won’t be dating women anymore.
“Sometimes when you get sad or whatnot, you just want to go with somebody and cuddle and kiss and hug,” he explained. “And I love to do that. But ultimately, I feel I’ve gotten to a place where I have enough love for me that I can focus on myself.”
Being one of the “Men of the Year” for the world’s biggest men’s magazine is a huge milestone.
Rob $tone is a gem coming out of the West Coast, and now he taps Los Angeles’ own Dom Kennedy for his newest single titled “No Handshakes.”
Stemming off the momentum of his previous releases — “All 9 Innings” which served as the anthem for the San Diego Padres home baseball games, “I Love It” featuring Rubi Rose, and “GOSSIP” featuring Too $hort — this new record pays homage to California as a whole: the unmatched weather, beautiful women, and undeniable swag.
Speaking on the record, Rob states, “This record is crazy special to me! Dom’s a real solid dude & legend in the game so to gain his respect and have him rock with me the way he does means a lot. I’d been working on my album BONA FIDE for a minute and when I sent this one to Dom, he said ‘this the one for real’ and sent his part back in a few hours! I was out at Delilah when he sent it and instantly left the table to go get a good listen to that! Much love and respect to the big homie!”
Rob $tone is San Diego’s finest, and he’s here to put his city on the map at all times. Exploding onto the scene with his viral smash “Chill Bill” in 2015, who’s music video on Youtube currently has over 288 million views and counting, the West Coast rapper has been continuously feeding his fans with nothing short of bangers.
Most recently, he released his 7-track EP titled Solitaire Stone, holding fans over until his highly-anticipated forthcoming album BONA FIDE.
“At the end of the day, I ain’t got the paperwork yet. So I’m going to come on this joint and try to save my family and keep my family together,” he said during the recently released second part of his Drink Champs podcast appearance.
Kanye’s comments come after he explained he wanted to stay with Kim and claimed their children “want their parents to stay together” in the first part of his chat.
“I ain’t never even seen the papers, we’re not even divorced… That ain’t no joke to me. My kids want their parents to stay together. I want us to be together,” he said.
Kanye went on to claim the media did not want him and Kim to be together and explained he had spoken to his pastor about his marriage.
While Kanye is adamant about keeping his family together, Kim is apparently not feeling the same way.
Kim, who made some jokes about her divorce from Kanye during her high-profile appearance on “Saturday Night Live,” continues to make wisecracks about splitting up with her soon-to-be ex-husband.
Kim was at the rehearsal dinner for entertainment executive Simon Huck and his fiancé Phil Riportella when she let loose.
“It’s honestly so nice to be here for a gay wedding. I mean I haven’t been to one since my second wedding,” Kim Kardashian said. “I was a little bit confused because I haven’t really figured out this marriage thing myself. I don’t know what kind of advice you think I’m gonna give to you guys tonight.”
The upcoming fourth season of Stranger Things is expected to land on Netflix next summer. Before the popular horror series presents its next installment of episodes, one of its breakout stars is officially stepping into the music world.
Actor/singer/dancer Caleb McLaughlin recently released his debut single “Neighborhood” via Steve Stoute’s UnitedMasters platform. Columbus, Ohio native R∆§H∆Ð (born Rashad Thomas) wrote and produced the song.
“I’m truly excited for my fans to hear what I’ve been cooking up in the studio for the last five years,” says 20-year-old recording artist Caleb McLaughlin.
He adds, “Growing up with Stevie Wonder’s records inspired my love for music and many other old-school artists. I am honored to have my fans by my side in this new chapter of my life. I hope they enjoy the song as much as I did creating it. Much love and blessings to everyone!”
A Ted Cadillac-directed music video for McLaughlin’s “Neighborhood” will arrive on Friday, November 19. Additional tracks by the Screen Actors Guild Award and NAACP Image Award winner are said to be on the way in the next year as well.
McLaughlin made his Broadway debut in 2012 as Young Simba in Disney’s The Lion King musical, and he played young Ricky Bell in BET’s The New Edition Story in 2017. The New York-raised entertainer’s filmography also includes turns in Netflix’s High Flying Bird and Concrete Cowboy.
His first major starring movie role in the coming-of-age drama Concrete Cowboy garnered Caleb McLaughlin praise from professional film critics. The SCAD Savannah Film Festival named McLaughlin as one ofEntertainment Weekly’s Breakout Honorees for his portrayal of Cole.
Belcalis “Cardi B” Almánzar has been very open about discussing her race and ethnicity. That includes the daughter of a Dominican father and Afro-Trinidadian mother repeatedly speaking on her hair texture.
This weekend Cardi B once again addressed people having something to say about her head of hair. The Invasion of Privacy album creator wrote on Instagram:
Why everytime I post my natural hair I hear “you’re MIXED you’re supposed to have long hair”? That’s not true and very misleading. I been posting pics of my hair journey for years and being mixed don’t mean your hair is always long and curly, that wasn’t my case. Since I was a child I have problems with managing my hair and couple years ago I find different methods that work for me and look at my length now. They’ll try to make us believe our hair won’t grow this long it’s not true. A lot of hair products we used back then wasn’t good for our hair but that’s all we had to choose from also we couldn’t afford to get to the salon regularly, if at all. now everybody is getting better options, making affordable GOOD products, learning from natural hair YouTube and tiktok about how to care for our hair better. I want women of color with tighter curl patterns to know that you don’t have “BAD HAIR” there’s no such thing as bad hair. and “good” hair don’t mean a certain texture. ALL HAIR IS GOOD.
Check out my pinned story “HAIR DAY” and I can’t wait to show ya more of my hair care routines.

That Instagram message from Cardi B amassed more than 4 million likes and over 31,000 comments. Blue-check-marked celebrities such as Ozuna, Rico Nasty, Bobby Lytes, Jason Lee, and Sukihana left positive statements under Cardi’s IG post.
Back in January, Cardi B also commented on social media users questioning her racial identity. The Afro-Latina superstar tweeted at the time, “Every 6 months I gotta explain myself cause people can’t research… Every 6 months this [becomes] a topic cause people [can’t] do simple research. Trust me I’m tired of it too.”
What does Cardi B and “Chickenhead” have in common? The “WAP” rapper’s moves impact the entire Hip-Hop genre. One of Rap’s Southern sons, Project Pat, tackles this question.
It should be noted that Project Pat delivers an unabashed honesty. His thoughts on Cardi’s creative canon are candid. Keep in mind, that Project Pat’s Ode to the Ratchets, “Chickenhead,” contains many a bristling bar.
The north Memphis narrator spits, “…bald head scalawag, ain’t got no hair in the back / gelled up, weaved up, yo’ hair is messed up…,” yes, a punishing perspective. This offering is included on his 2001 release, Mista Don’t Play: Everythangs Workin.
Recently, the curious, VladTV, inquires about the classic track being sampled for “Bickenhead.” It appears on Cardi B’s, Diamond-certified, debut album, Invasion of Privacy. The matter-of-fact MC offered, “It was a real good look, man; shout out to her!”
A gracious smile serves as the segue into his next statement, “I was a Cardi B fan back when she was on Instagram talkin’ crazy.” In addition to earning financial compensation, “Bickenhead,” helped to garner over 20,000 Instagram followers for an appreciative Project Pat.
Via Twitter, after learning about the “Chickenhead,” commentary, Bacardi expressed her sheer gratitude.
It’s been over a week since the fatal catastrophe at Travis Scott’s Astroworld Festival on November 5. The death toll has risen to ten after a 9-year-old boy succumbed to injuries caused by the massive crowd crush at the Houston-based event.
Despite offering two separate apologies, Travis Scott continues to face backlash as a result of the deadly incident. Alleged victims filed multiple lawsuits against the Texas native and his associates. Some listeners are boycotting his music.
According to NewsNation reporter Brian Entin, one woman even started a protest outside Travis Scott’s home in Houston. The unnamed objector was photographed holding a sign that read, “You destroyed lives. You deserve bankruptcy.”
Travis Scott is receiving a lot of public blame for the Astroworld Festival casualties because he is one of the organizers of the concert. The 30-year-old recording artist also garnered backlash because he has a history of encouraging his fans to “rage” at his shows.
Which American city is running Hip Hop at the moment? According to Chicago’s Polo G, his hometown is presently producing the top talent in the culture.
Polo G took to Twitter on Sunday to make a disputed declaration. The Hall of Fame album creator tweeted, “Chicago got the best rappers.”
Chicago is also the locale that raised contemporary acts such as Kanye “Ye” West, Lil Durk, Chance The Rapper, Chief Keef, and G Herbo. Late rap stars Juice WRLD and King Von also claimed Chicago as home.
“[And I’m talking about] really rapping not just making good songs, but saying the s### that the real ones gone feel 💯🌪️,” Polo G later added.
Polo G did receive some pushback for his definitive claim about the Windy City. For example, Yungeen Ace had a lighthearted reaction to Polo’s tweet about Chicago rappers.
“Ya after Florida rappers🤣,” wrote Yungeen Ace in a quote-tweet response. Polo G then replied, “We prolly both biased 😂.”
Snoop Dogg has been busy since his appointment as Def Jam Recordings executive. He dropped the tracklist for his new album “The Algorithm” and revealed he signed Benny the Butcher to Def Jam.
The west coast OG announced the news of Benny’s new record deal during a recent appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience.”
The revelation came after Rogan asked if there was still tension between east and west coast artists.
“I’m on Def Jam Records right,” Snoop Dogg replied. “I’m a creative consultant executive, and just to let you know that it don’t exist no more, I’m going to announce on your show that I just signed Benny The Butcher, and he is one of the hardest rappers up out of Buffalo, New York. So that’s showing that there are no more lines to be crossed. We are doing what we’re supposed to be doing. The butcher’s coming.”

My algorithm is going to give you a feeling, not a sound.”

DaBaby and DaniLeigh got into it last night, much of it played out in a series of Instagram Live videos.
DaBaby went live on Instagram to record an argument between the pair while DaniLeigh was feeding their three-month-old daughter. Somebody calls the cops to ask Dani to leave, where she claims to have been staying since the birth of their baby. The singer then took to her IG Live and filmed her interaction with the police who she claims DaBaby called.
A little later, DaniLeigh went back on Live to explain the situation, crying throughout, she said she loves him but deserves better. She said she tried to make their relationship work for their baby, but they keep going back and forth.
She also claims DaBaby came to her out of nowhere and asked her to leave while she was in bed.

Halle Berry has caused a storm after calling Cardi B the “Queen of Hip-Hop;” a title many believe is held by Nicki Minaj.
Halle made the declaration on Saturday (Nov. 13) at the premiere of her new movie, “Bruised,” which she directed and stars in. Halle and Cardi B curated the female-emcee-driven soundtrack to the flick.
The Hollywood star thanked her ”partner-in-crime,” before declaring, “I reached out to Cardi B because she’s the Queen of Hip-Hop.”
The “Barbz,” Nicki’s loyal army of fans were fuming, feeling the “Super Bass” rapper has earned the Queen’s crown. Though Cardi’s rise may have been faster, Nicki has put years of grind in the game and made an impact like few others.
The following day, Winnie Harlow used her appearance at MTV’s “2021 Europe Music Awards” to voice her thoughts on the matter. The supermodel presented the award for Best Hip-Hop to the winner, Nicki Minaj, “the one and only ‘Queen of Hip-Hop.’”
While Nicki has yet to address the drama, Cardi took to Twitter to share her thoughts on the matter. “I know how some of you girls like to tussle over this typa childish s***,” she wrote. “But ntm on Halle Berry. Anyway her movie #BRUISED dropping THAT SHE DIRECTED HERSELF on Netflix on November 24th. The FIRST female rap movie soundtrack!! we produced together out this FRIDAY!”
According to the Shade Room, the New York rapper also liked a Tweet from a fan page that posted an old clip of Cardi saying, “I don’t wanna’ do this whole Queen stuff.”
