“Oh, I’m so sorry,” the shocked star said.

Lizzo also fumbled with the award envelope and asked a stagehand how to open it before she presented the night’s first honor for Best New Artist to a shocked Megan Thee Stallion.

Back in the early 90s, Nas and Havoc (as a member of Mobb Deep) helped bring honor to the largest housing project in North America. Over the last 25 years, the two have performed on multiple jewels.

Songs like the iconic “Eye For a Eye,” “The Set Up,” “Live N**ga Rap,” “Give It Up Fast,” and “It’s Mine,” are evidence of the bomb these two have and how long overdue this accolade is for the culture.

 

“NON-SPOILER” Review For Zack Snyder’s Justice League (The Snyder Cut)

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: Features
Preferred Source Publisher Button>
By Chris “Boogie” Brown “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” has finally arrived and quite honestly feels like a completely new film altogether! While the framework of the film’s original story remains “loosely” intact, the vast amount of changes here makes this a totally different viewing experience from the 2017 theatrical film. Narratively speaking, the tone & character portrayals are treated with far more gravitas which makes this film feel like an organic continuation of Snyder’s previous DCEU films: “Man of Steel” & “Batman v Superman”. At the same time, “ZSJL” is also an epic scale Superhero event film featuring moments of heart, humor, classic team building, thrilling action, and the spirit of heroism permeating throughout its 4 Hour runtime. With the arrival of “ZSJL”, we are introduced to a plethora of unseen footage, new characters, new story subplots, new visual enhancements and a completely new musical score by famed composer, “Junkie XL”. In particular, this incredible score sounds completely triumphant and perfectly matches the heroic tone of the film. Most importantly, any and all 2017 footage directed by Joss Whedon has been completely excised from the film. Additionally, any of Zack Snyder’s originally shot footage that was altered by Joss Whedon in 2017 has been restored back to Zack’s original intent. All of these restorations & upgrades by Snyder makes this 4 Hour version thee definitive Justice League film for fans. I will vaguely touch on the film’s plot synopsis and then speak to the comprehensive changes that clearly separates it from the 2017 version. This film is a direct continuation of the events that occurred in 2016’s “Batman v Superman”. Following the sacrificial death of Superman, Bruce Wayne (“Batman”) and Diana Prince (“Wonder Woman”) join forces in preparation to face the incoming threat that was foreshadowed in BvS. This looming threat is the emergence of an ancient supervillain from the planet Apokolips known as “Steppenwolf”. Steppenwolf leads the Apokolips army of soldiers known as “Parademons” and also serves as General to the sadistic overseer & ruler of Apokolips, “Darkseid”. After a failed attempt by Darkseid thousands of years ago, Steppenwolf is planning to invade Earth to retrieve three devices hidden by mankind known as “Motherboxes”. Together, these three Motherboxes harness otherworldly power and have the ability to terraform Earth into the planet of Apokolips. To protect earth and ward off this threat to mankind’s survival, Bruce Wayne and Diane Prince set out to recruit the unique team of Metahumans briefly hinted at in BvS: Victor Stone (“Cyborg”), Arthur Curry (“Aquaman”) and Barry Allen (“The Flash”). In addition, they work collectively to devise a plan that will resurrect Superman in order to strengthen this united alliance. Together, these heroes join forces to thwart the evil plans of Steppenwolf and Darkseid while saving Earth as we know it. As previously stated, several facets of the 2017 film have changed and been dramatically improved upon under Snyder’s direction. Starting with the film’s updated visual approach, “ZSJL” is presented in a 1:33 Aspect Ratio which gives the film’s dynamic scenes a much taller perspective in scale while watching. In addition, Zack Snyder has also removed the bright & oversaturated color palette that was present in the majority of the 2017 film. Comparatively, he has meticulously restored the film’s original color grading to keep the look consistent with the previous films in this trilogy: “Man of Steel” & “Batman v Superman”. Furthermore, with the opportunity to restore his complete vision, Snyder and his team were able to oversee & complete the fully rendered VFX on display throughout the film. There Won't Be Zack Snyder's Justice League Sequels – /Film That being said, “ZSJL” features an impressive overhaul and new assortment of visual enhancements to several explosive action sequences. The action on display is incredibly breathtaking to watch and features sequences that are beautiful, intense, filled with visual flair and fully uncut warranting the film’s R Rating. Along with the action sequences, the appearance of certain characters have been greatly enhanced as well: From the completely updated & imposing look of “Steppenwolf” down to the polished upgrade of Superman’s Black Regeneration suit. Overall, the aesthetical changes here are an enormous improvement over the 2017 film and provide a much more satisfying viewing experience for the tone of the material. Speaking of Superman, I’m happy to report that the “digitally altered” Superhero from the 2017 film is no more! Superman is presented here as regal & powerful as he was in MOS & BvS with all of Snyder’s originally shot footage from 2016 fully intact! As you’ve seen from the trailers, Superman also appears in action wearing his Black Regeneration suit which looks fantastic and adds another layer of depth to his presentation. Accordingly, every pivotal scene featuring Superman in “ZSJL”, whether reflective or action oriented, is depicted as originally intended and now stamped by Snyder’s seal of approval. While Superman receives his much-deserved overhaul, each of the remaining League members are also given added depth to their performances and showcase new aspects of their abilities as well. “ZSJL” shows us the natural progression of both Batman and Wonder Women as the seasoned Heroes in this story. Aquaman, Flash, and Cyborg now have fleshed out character arcs that explore the background of their characters, their emotional make up, and what drives them to embrace this ensuing challenge. Aquaman is presented as the hardened warrior who also acts as the voice of reason, Flash is the integral speedster that provides moments of charm & comedic levity, and Cyborg proves to be the emotional heartbeat of this film. Specifically speaking, Cyborg’s story arc features heartbreaking loss and a strong familial element that shapes his decisions & actions throughout the film. With the further exploration of these Hero’s backgrounds, we also get to see the arrival of new characters and “re-purposed” characters associated with them in DC lore. These are characters who were removed from the 2017 film but have now been rightfully placed back into this story as Snyder initially envisioned. In addition to restoring his original film, Snyder was also afforded the opportunity to shoot additional photography which he took advantage of to great effect. New footage featuring Batman, The Joker, and other “surprise” characters, though brief, adds both a surprising & suspenseful element of intrigue to this already fulfilling story. Lastly, as seen in the trailer, this film FINALLY gives fans the chance to see “Darkseid”, his minion “Desaad”, and the purpose they play in the overarching story Snyder is telling. I won’t spoil the context of any of the scenes featuring these characters, but their inclusion impacts the plot, gives added depth to a certain timeline hinted at in BvS, and foreshadows what may be forthcoming in the future. Overall, “ZSJL” is both an impressive and stunning epic that features Snyder metaphorically swinging for the fences. With this realized opportunity, Zack unapologetically left no stone unturned in giving fans a Justice League movie that lives up to the hype and then some! On a technical level, the direction and cinematography are highly impressive, and the new musical score completely amplifies the film’s storytelling throughout. At 4 hours, the sheer size and scale of the movie feels grandiose and the fully fleshed out story feels completely authentic to the groundwork laid down in MOS & BvS. The League is showcased at their strongest, the Villains are much more brutal in nature, and the stakes here feel much higher. If I had to guess, the reception of this film by audiences will largely depend upon how one views Zack Snyder’s work in totality. Snyder’s films have proven to be divisive in the past as everyone hasn’t been a fan of his directorial choices and particular take in presenting Superheroes. That being said, if you haven’t enjoyed his previous work for DC, there’s a chance you may not enjoy this film. I say that because when it comes to his deep dive exploration into the mythos and emotional beats of these Superheroes, Zack hasn’t altered a thing about his approach. Furthermore, with no studio restraints or restrictions, this is Zack Snyder completely unleashed for 240 minutes. However, if you do love Snyder’s stylistic sensibilities, his method of storytelling, and his focus on iconography & hyper-stylized visuals, I think you will absolutely love “ZSJL”. This film features all of his trademark characteristics dialed up to the max which results in a memorable & massively entertaining 4 Hour Superhero Saga! In fact, “ZSJL”, taken in succession with “Man of Steel” & “Batman v Superman”, feels like the culmination of a mature and expanded graphic novel comic series come to life in cinematic form. Time will tell if Snyder gets to finish the 5 Film Arc he envisioned, but until then, fans will have this incredible film to dissect and can relish in the fact that a well-publicized wrong has finally been made right. It’s been a long time coming but the wait was well worth it: “Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is here and it is Amazing – Enjoy!

Doja Cat Lays Out Her Standard For Choosing Collaborations

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

Doja Cat will only collaborate with artists she believes in.

The hitmaker took to the stage to perform a rendition of her mega-hit “Say So” at the Grammys on Sunday night (March 14th), and teased on the red carpet that she has a number of collaborations in the works, but she is kept tight-lipped about who the artists are.

“I’m working with people who I really believe in, who I look up to. And that’s that. That’s all I want. Those are the only people I want to work with, so when that comes out and you find out who those people are, that’s going to be interesting,” Doja Cat said.

When pressed for names, she insisted: “No! Are you kidding me? No, no no! I’m not telling you anything.”

The 25-year-old star was nominated for Best New Artist, Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for “Say So” – her first-ever Grammy nods.

And although she went home empty-handed, Doja admitted simply getting to perform at the prestigious music ceremony was a major moment in her career.

Before taking to the stage in Downtown Los Angeles, she added: “I can’t believe that it’s gotten to this point. I’m very, very excited. I can’t wait for my fans to see what I’ve cooked up.”

The day she wins a Grammy, the “Best Friend” hitmaker admitted it would give her the validation that people “believe” in her and her art.

She said: “It would mean that people believe in what I do. It would mean that people really ride with me and I need that. I judge myself a lot. To know that people mess with me, that’s everything that I care about.”

At the start of her show-stopping performance of Say So, Doja uttered: “I haven’t been waiting for this for my whole life, I’ve been preparing.”

Doja has previously collaborated with the likes of Megan Thee Stallion, Ariana Grande and Saweetie. She recently confirmed SZA is set to feature on her hotly-anticipated third studio album, Planet Her.

Back in February, ViacomCBS announced Paramount+ will be the hub for the return of several classic MTV and VH1 shows. Behind the Music is one of those programs that will be available on the new streaming service.

While a premiere date has not been revealed yet, the first batch of Behind the Music episodes will feature a crop of high-profile recording artists from the last five decades. For example, the career of Hip Hop legend LL Cool J is being covered for the reboot.

Jennifer Lopez, Ricky Martin, and Huey Lewis are the other talents that will be spotlighted in Behind the Music. The documentary series will feature artist interviews, archival footage, and what is being described as a “reimagined visual style.”

 

LL Cool J (born James Todd Smith) first achieved mainstream success in the 1980s with songs such as “I Can’t Live Without My Radio,” “Rock the Bells,” “I Need Love,” and “Going Back to Cali.” His discography includes the 2x-Platinum-certified albums Bigger and Deffer, Mama Said Knock You Out, and Mr. Smith.

The Queens, New York City native has won two Grammy awards, and he was the first rapper to be a Kennedy Center Honors recipient. LL Cool J is often mentioned in the “greatest rapper of all time” conversation. He even titled his 2000 album G.O.A.T.

Many music historians credit the 53-year-old entertainer as one of the acts that helped establish Def Jam as a powerhouse record label. Additionally, Todd has appeared in movies like Deep Blue Sea, In Too Deep, and Any Given Sunday as well as television shows like In the House, NCIS: Los Angeles, and Lip Sync Battle.

Sunday was a very memorable night for the Knowles-Carter family. Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter won his 23rd Grammy award. He still holds the career record for most wins by a rap artist.

Early in the evening, Kanye West was able to tie Jay-Z by picking up his 22nd Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album (Jesus Is King). However, Ye’s “big brother” gained Grammy number 23 later in the night. Hov is now 9th on the all-time Grammy wins rankings.

Jay-Z is listed as a writer on Megan Thee Stallion’s “Savage (Remix)” featuring Beyoncé. The Good News track was named Best Rap Song at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards which means the Brooklyn-raised emcee won a trophy as well.

Producers who are credited as songwriters on “Savage (Remix)” also won a trophy. The official winners in the Best Rap Song category for 2021 are listed as Beyoncé, Shawn Carter, Brittany Hazzard, Derrick Milano, Terius Nash, Megan Pete, Bobby Session Jr., Jordan Kyle Lanier Thorpe, and Anthony White.

Plus, the couple’s 9-year-old daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, also won a Grammy for Best Music Video as a featured performer on Beyonce’s “Brown Skin Girl” with Saint Jhn and Wizkid. The Knowles-Carter household has won a combined 52 Grammy Awards.

Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones was nominated for one award at this year’s Grammy ceremony. His commercially-successful 2020 single “The Bigger Picture” was up for Best Rap Performance.

Lil Baby did not win the award, but the Quality Control Music representative did entertain the viewing audience with a gripping rendition of “The Bigger Picture.” He also invited some special guests to accompany him for the Grammy set.

Social justice advocate Tamika Mallory gave a speech where she called on President Joe Biden to implement policies that ensure justice for all Americans. Mallory ended her address by saying, “This is not a trend, this is our plight. Until freedom.”

Lil Baby was also joined by fellow Atlanta-based rapper Killer Mike. The Run The Jewels member added a verse to “The Bigger Picture” which included Mike referencing the late comedian/activist Dick Gregory. BLD PWR founder and Insecure star Kendrick Sampson was part of the show too.

“My performance is important to me and I had to make sure it was right. Nominations aside, actually performing ‘The Bigger Picture’ means the most to me,” declares Lil Baby in a statement.

The My Turn album creator adds, “I paint pictures with my songs and wanted the performance to bring that picture to life. Just like with the song, this performance had to reflect the real. No sugar-coating. My family, my fans, and my city know who I do this for.”

Nicki Minaj Fans Upset At The Grammys Over Megan, Beyonce And Cardi B

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

Nicki Minaj has some of the most brutal fans known to humankind. The Barbs, as they are called, brutalize people through social media, emojis and hurt speak. They particularly are annoyed by those that like Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion as the two women that have more or less replaced Nicki Minaj. Clearly, there’s no way you can replace Nicki Minaj, but that space is definitely occupied by these two at the moment. We all know that Nicki Minaj is now a married woman with a child, so she is on pause anyway.

But the question is is why are they mad? Tonight both Meg and Cardi be performed at the Grammys. Megan Thee Stallion won big on numerous occasions, performed and also was joined by Beyoncé on stage. It was a glorious night for her and many others, including Cardi B. They did a really good job too, I must admit! So why would anyone be mad at that? Haters!

I was told to look at the Instagram accounts for TheShadeRoom and Bossip to see was being talked about and in the comments, it’s crazy. You would’ve thought that Nicki Minaj got dissed by one of those other two ladies but that simply isn’t the case. They were just doing them at the music award show of the year. I am dead-ass not sure what Nicki did or did not do this year in music, but I honestly do not think it was much. She was pregnant most of the time.

Anyway, here are some of the comments and they are not all going at Cardi & Meg.

“They way Nicki is treated in the industry is messed up. Sometimes I feel bad for sis but anyways Congrats to Megan and Beyoncé ❤️”

“Wow! Congrats to her but damn how come Nicki hasn’t gotten one yet”

“Congrats to Meg and Beyoncé. But how tf every female rapper gets a Grammy before Nicki. It just seems so easy. & You don’t even have to be her fan to see how messed up the Grammys are.”

“F##k all these h#es! Hail the Queen!”

“Cardi’s butt looked like it was sagging and how often is Megan gonna wear that same tired outfit??

By the way, The Grammys damn near begged Bey to perform, but she declined. She was not expected to show up, but she did unexpectedly to break a few records. She and Jay were right there in the cut! Jay is a classy dude. Bey is the queen…hands down. By the way, Blue Ivy got her own Grammy as well. THE CARTERS!

By the way, Lil Baby definitely got robbed.

Check out his performance!

Is Wesley snipes coming back for the new “Blade” or not? 

Recently there has been considerable chatter about Wes and whether or not he’s going to be in the re-boot of the “Blade” franchise with the Marvel’s MCU. I first heard about this – like the most of us – at one of those big old Comicon convention reveals. But there was no word of Wesley, then more recently we heard that Wesley Snipes was not going to be a part of the franchise as it was re-booted. WHAT?

I saw this posted on @ChuckCreekmur’s Instagram:

So I did some searching! Here is what WS has said today

“We’ve talked, man, and Feige always says, ‘Well, you know, we’re thinking about it, we’re trying to figure it out’. Then one day I saw in the news, and everybody started calling me up saying, ‘Hey, Mahershala is going to be playing the new Blade’. I was like, ‘Well, I guess Kevin didn’t have my number. Okay’. So I actually don’t know. You know, I’m always willing to rock with anyone who wants to rock with me, you know? We’re doing similar work. We have wonderful product that we will bring to market, and if I can rock with Marvel, that’s great. If I can’t rock with Marvel, all right. You know? I’ll wait by the door. I’ll just put on some nice heels and a nice skirt and something. I’ll just wait by the door and say, ‘Hi Kevin’.”

Wait, there’s more! MURS, the dope a$$ LA rapper, said that rumor has it WESLEY IS IN…I am not sure what to believe. I don’t believe they can keep that man out of the new version. They know Black people gonna lose their SH!T if he doesn’t and go CRAZY when he appears in it!

Bring on Blade, the new one! With the original!

From Stacey To Skully- A Chat With De’Aundre Bonds

By: Simone Updated Category: Exclusives
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

When you think of Los Angeles, many things come to mind. People like Tupac, movies like Boyz N Da Hood, and maybe even the Hollywood sign come to thought. Yet, over the last few years- you could even add FX Network’s Snowfall to the list of things that are reminiscent of LA. No place seems to epitomize the “gangsta” lifestyle more than Los Angeles. The character Skully, played by actor De’Aundre Bonds embodies the true “LA Outlaw.” 

De’Aundre Bonds is quite a prolific actor. As Skully – he masterfully displays his acting chops. He’s very convincing in this role- so believable. Yet, could this gangster portrayal just be him channeling his real-life persona? 

Born and raised in South Central, Bonds was the oldest of six children. With Hollywood in his backyard, he knew at an early age he wanted to become an actor. A chance meeting on Hollywood Blvd would jump-start his career.

We’ve all watched De’Aundre play captivating roles throughout the years. His career spans over two decades. From his first movie, Tales From The Hood -to his role as Stacey in The Wood, he has given so much. With each role, he reels us in. Yet, there’s still so much to know about this mystical figure. 

Here are five things you didn’t know about the incomparable Bonds- De’Aundre Bonds that is.

  • As a kid- Bonds sold candy in Hollywood to earn a living. While hustling candy- he met a casting director who ultimately helped him land his first role. 
  • De’Aundre was hand-picked for the role of Skully on Snowfall by the show’s creator, John Singleton.
  • He initially met John Singleton while filming a scene for The Wood.
  • Bonds was also hand-selected by Denzel Washington to play alongside Derek Luke in Antwone Fisher. He was unable to fulfill the movie due to legal troubles. 
  • De’Aundre’s least favorite role was Dre in the movie Lockdown.

Allhiphop’s Seleah Simone sat down to chat with De’aundre Bonds as he further divulged details surrounding his career, working on the hit show Snowfall and so much more in an exclusive interview. Check it out below.

Trey Songz Makes Women Kneel Just To Spit In Their Mouths 

By: Mike Winslow Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

Trey Songz is back in the headlines again, and it is for the wrong reason, depending on your point of view. 

A 13-second clip of the notorious R&B singer is making its rounds on the internet. In the video, two women can be seen kneeling in front of a shirtless Trey Songz’s crotch. 

The shocking, and disgusting part of the video comes when Trey bends over and spits into each woman’s mouth. 

Right now, the purpose of the video is unclear. 

It could be from a new video he is shooting, for his OnlyFans account, or some other kind of sexually charged project. 

Either way, the clip has the internet talking. 

https://twitter.com/soholofttv/status/1371141262766641153?s=20

https://twitter.com/Shardonnayprime/status/1371157254586695682?s=20

 

The last time Trey popped up in a video that went viral was in January, during the Kansas City Chiefs’ matchup against the Buffalo Bills, when he was arrested for fighting with a police officer. 

Trey Songz’ degrading behavior towards the women probably won’t hurt his reputation, since he’s known for being a freaky playboy. 

Trey is the latest artist with a thing for spitting in his fans’ mouths.

Earlier this month, London rapper Slowthai promised he would stop depositing his saliva into his fans’ mouths during live shows, so he doesn’t spread the coronavirus.

Nas Finally Gets GRAMMY 26 years, Ten Months, and 23 Days After Dropping ‘Illmatic’

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

It has been 26 years, ten months, and 23 days since Nas, arguably the best rapper of all time, dropped his classic album Illmatic. Yet, at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards (Mar. 14, 2021) the Queensbridge General copped his first gramophone for his beautifully crafted 13th studio album, King’s Disease.

Besting the other worthy contenders, Jay Electronica, Freddie Gibbs, Royce 5’9″, and D Smoke, his win makes a bold statement about legacy rap artists and their ability to compete in the marketplace.

At 47, Nas returned to rap music with music that actually canvased the breath of the culture, doing it without neglecting his core fanbase. But also, genius-ly incorporating new artists like A$AP Ferg and Fivio Foreign and hot producer Hit-Boy for a fresh contemporary sound allowing him to access that prized Millennial and Gen Z audience.

KING’S DISEASE WAS A HIT FROM THE GATE

The first week after dropping, King’s Disease debuted at #5 on the Billboard 200 charts and was Nas’s fourteenth Top 10 album of his career.

Fans celebrated the timeliness of “Ultra Black,” which prophetically spoke to the enormous pride to be had as people kissed by the sun. Released in April, months before civil unrest saturated American streets with protest, the lyricist-turned-businessman had no idea his song would be one of the movement’s soundtrack.

Nas’ first Grammy nomination was “If I Ruled the World (Imagine That)” for Best Rap Solo performance in 1997. It took 12 nominations later for him to bring back the gold to QB.

Ain’t life a b**ch? But sometimes she ain’t that bad at all.

Like remember when Kendrick Lamar dedicated his Grammy to the icon?

Kanye West Makes Grammy History, Beats Jay-Z (At Least For Now) with 22 Awards

Praise the Lord!

Kanye West has made history again. This time, besting his billionaire friend Jay-Z with 22 Grammy wins (as of publishing).

The former presidential candidate won this award for his album Jesus Is King in the “Best Contemporary Christian Music Album” category during the 2021 63rd Annual Grammy Awards. This is the first gospel Grammy the musical genius has received, and it strays from the other Hip-Hop/ Rap categories that have traditionally decorated his legacy with trophies.

 

 

This particular win for Yeezy’s may mean something far deeper than all the others. It could be seen as evidence that his vow to do sacred music (howbeit through his rap-rooted lens) was not just a shot in the dark — but guided by something more DIVINE.

In 2019, West dedicated his life to serving Jesus the Christ, seemingly embracing a Protestant and Trinitarian doctrine within Christianity. The drastic conversion became a source of conflict for his wife, as she did/does not consider herself born again. On the family reality series, Keeping Up with The Kardashians, she expressed how unhappy his new lifestyle made her.

Over the last two years, and after he dropped two Christian-center albums Jesus is King and Jesus is Born in 2019, he has redefined what worship looks and sounds like, creating his “Sunday Service” movement. Veteran Gospel artists have said that his form of ministry is sincere and is centered in what is commonly referred to as spirit. Thus, given the popularity and high quality of the music — and the ministry— it is no shock that his peers would recognize him with the Grammy.

Surprisingly, since Kanye burst on the scene as a rapper in 2004 with “Jesus Walk” or winning the Grammy for “No Church in the Wild” won “Best Rap/Sung Collaboration” in 2013, he has not strayed from blending the sacred and the secular. The win simply builds on this faith journey, he courageously has lived out loud for all to see (even with his bipolarity).

For him, one might say this “good news” could not have come at a better time.

 

The multi-hyphenate is currently going through a complicated divorce from his wife of almost seven years.

The two have four children North, Psalm, Saint, and Chicago. While the parents are not speaking directly, they have figured out how to co-parent. The children are still being well cared for by the family.

This Grammy probably means a whole lot more than just any award. It could be just what he needs to stay encouraged.

Beyoncé is a magical fairy godmother for this generation of Black female musicians.

Just ask Megan thee Stallion.

After the Destiny Child lead singer sprinkled her pixie dust over Megan thee Stallion’s “Savage” (Remix), she took her fellow Houstonian from her Hip-Hop celebrity status and launched into superstardom.

Just consider … when you get Queen Bey, you get all her fans, her own special talent, and even her momma, Ms. Tina as a push for your project. And just like that, lickety-split, now Megan has a Grammy.

On Sunday, March 14 during the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards, the chart-topping remix won “Best Rap Performance” and “Best Rap Song.”

She also won for “Best New Artist of the Year.”

During her virtual pre-award acceptance speech, Megan was filled with a combination of excitement and disbelief.

“Thank you, Lord. God is the first person I want to thank,” said the college student. “My grandma. Thank you, Nanny, for not making me stop music to finish school.”

“Thank you, mama, for pushing me and knowing that I was gonna be here. Thank you, J. White. Thank you, Bobby,” she continues to list those who have helped her get to this achievement. “Thank you, everybody. Thank you, Beyoncé.”

“I still can’t even believe this! What? Me??? Thank you, Hotties! Thank you, Houston.”

Her tweets were even better!

When accepting her “Best Rap Song” award, her Houston fairy godmother joined her and shared how proud she is over Young Meg. Proving that whenever you lift someone to their highest height, you rise also.

With these wins, Beyoncé makes history herself. The 63rd annual ceremony delivered the Black Parade singer with her 28th GRAMMY Award. She received four this evening: Two with Megan and the other two, “Best R&B Performance” for “Black Parade,” and “Best Music Video” for “Brown Skin Girl.”

Mrs. Carter said, “As an artist I believe it’s my job, and all of our jobs, to reflect time and it’s been such a difficult time,” during her speech for “Black Parade.”

Detroit is known for producing hip hop greatness, and rapper Shon Kash just may be their next big artist.

Born Lashon Adkins, the 26-year-old native of Detroit has been on the come up in the rap scene. Blessed with undeniable talent, he has built a buzz around his rap alias, Shon Kash, a combination of his first name and his past obsession with cash. Now, his intentions are not only based on attaining fame in the music industry, but to also build up a legacy that will impact the world with his story and journey through life.

His music is sonically on a level above artists that many consider lyrical. His ability to control flows and ride a beat places him in a category that few are able to compete within. Shon Kash, although still on the rise, has already shown that he has the skill and versatility to maneuver in the rap game and become a top contender for the charts. With creative production on the beats, and the raw, authentic, and personal bars that Shon Kash spits, he has developed a sound that is intrinsic to his style and music. A great example of this is his 2020 track, “Long Live Freak” dedicated to the life of his brother ‘Freaky B.’

Kash is a fan of the culture. Being surrounded by music for the entirety of his life, it was only a matter of time before he began on his own path to creating timeless music. His uncle, Chino, owns his own record label, Accurate Aim Entertainment, along with his two other uncles, Curse and Bless. Each happen to have a great influence on Kash’s musical career and play a major role in why and what he does. With their knowledge of the industry and the talent and dedication Kash has displayed, his future in music is within reach once he continues his grind.

To date, Shon Kash has had the opportunity to perform in a number of venues as he builds his following. One such performance that had a packed crowd rocking, was at a show at the Detroit Bullfrog club. Shon Kash was the star of the show and stole the spotlight with his vibe and cadence over the mic. It gave a glimpse of the energy that will be exhibited at sold out shows as he makes his way up the ranks in the mainstream limelight. Given the positive feedback from fans and compliments at places he’s performed, it was evident that his debut project was being craved. Recently, after the awaited delivery, he released just that in the form of his 7-track EP, “The Wonder Year.” The EP opens up the world of Shon Kash for all to view and connect with.

His very heart is layered within the tracks. Throughout “The Wonder Year,” Kash becomes his most authentic self, giving fans a taste of who he is and the things that are held nearest to his heart. Some notable mentions that are drenched in emption and depth are “Boy Meets World,” “One on One,” and “In Living Color.” His flows aren’t simply the highlight, nor are the beats that compel heads to bob along. His lyricism and delivery make him a standout artist to listen to. Many in the industry has one or some of the traits mentioned, but a select few has achieved the level of having mastery over all when creating music. “The Wonder Year” is pivotal in illustrating that Shon Kash is one of those select few. Given he is still in the early stages of his career and he already has this much of a unique sound and talent, there’s no measuring the status that he can and most likely will reach.

The truth is, Shon Kash has shown great promise as an artist, and Detroit is surely proud to call him someone from their roots. Once Kash doesn’t slow up off the gas and forges ahead, he has a great legacy awaiting in the music industry. Follow his online presence and become acquainted with the artist and his musical catalog.

BT The Artist Shows Why He Stands Out With New Single “Different”

By: Staff Writer Updated Category: Music

Everyone wants a shot at the throne, but few have the distinct talent to attain it. BT The Artist however, says he has what it takes on new single “Different.”

Bryanne Toney, the street activist representing Boston Massachusetts has linked up with fellow Massachusetts artist, Chef Ried to grace the airwaves with another track layered with lyricism and depth. Both artists come from a long line of musicians, with generations of their lineage being well versed singers, vocalists, and composers among other things. The duo, which was motivated to work together by BT’s dad, created what is now being called a modern classic. The track holds the title, “Different” and is proof why BT The Artist is just that.

“Different” came into inception while BT and his team discussed their way forward for upcoming projects, and one thing stood out that has long been a staple for success, “If you want to make it far in the industry, you’ve got to be different.” That set off the lightbulb in BT’s creative mind, and with a lit beat crafted for the concept, he did his thing in the studio alongside Chef to bless the world with “Different.” The track is a lyrical work of art to say the least, but with the melodic hook and the transforming flows throughout, mixed with the passion and cadence in the delivery, “Different” separates itself from the outpour of substance-less music leaking through the gates.

BT The Artist has another one on his resume, giving fans exactly what they are craving, something creative and heartfelt with a message. Stream the new track “Different” and stay locked in for all that BT The Artist has in the works for the remainder of the year.
