It has been less than a year since the Hip-Hop world lost a real one, Fred the Godson. 

The gaping hole on the block can never be filled, and so friends, family, and fans are making sure that his legacy will be cemented in the streets.

Literally.

On a snowy Monday, February 22, 2021, the borough of his birth (The Bronx) honored him by co-naming the corner of Leggett Ave and Kelly Street after him. From now on, people will also be able to refer to the block as “Frederick “Fred the Godson” Thomas Way.

His sister spoke to why this block was chosen:

“Good morning, everybody. I know a lot of people was asking, ‘Why this block? Out of all the neighborhoods we were blessed to be on, why this specific block?’”

“But a fire brought us here.”

“My mother got her independence here … This is where a mother’s love and a father’s protection prevailed and allowed us to live our wildest dreams. This is where a community crunched down on a boy’s talent.”

The ceremony featured several notables such as Fat Joe, Jim Jones, Sway Calloway, Mysonne, DJ Bobby Trends, and Ruben Diaz, Jr. There was also a special performance from Fat Boy Izzo to keep the people warmed-up in the cold.

Mysonne was gracious enough to post a video of the event.

Tragically, at the age of 35 the rap star (that excelled in the commercial industry, as well in the battle rap world), died from complications connected to the coronavirus. 

He worked with music royalty like Busta Rhymes, Waka Flocka Flame, and Cam’ron and was a part of the class of emcees that produced names like Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, YG, and the late Mac Miller.

His music and family are his greatest legacy. Two ways fans can continue to honor his life are to PURCHASE his music and to support the Fred The Godson Foundation.

FTGF has a mission to inspire, empower, and nourish individuals, children, and families in underserved communities. Initially, their aid is centered around the South Bronx, a place where not only was he born … but so was the entire culture of Hip-Hop.

Is Tekashi69 Actively Working For The Feds Still?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

A lot of people have been beefing with Tekashi69 on the Internet and social media. Lately, it’s almost as if this guy is one of us. You certainly don’t see folks beefing with the true opposition when they go hard in the paint like they do with Tekashi69.

You get on the Internet scream and yell and make threats, but really what are they doing? I don’t see anybody ever getting hurt, all I see is a bunch of JAW jacking. Talking loud. Talking loud and saying nothing! That is what Tekashi69 is supposed to do to you guys! That does not mean you have to respond to everything he does! Have you ever heard of the term agent provocateur? If you haven’t go look it up! Smarten up!

Here’s what my sources are telling me, and I believe this to be true. Tekashi69 is still an active federal witness, a.k.a. an active rat!! He is still beholden to the federal government to give them information as it relates to anybody and anything they need of him at this present time. Like that dude that got Fred Hampton killed and could not get out once he was in! This is all fax! Now, if you think I’m lying go do some research and look it up.

This guy – Tek 1 – is here to disrupt any sort of unity we have, get people arrested, and break up the power that Hip Hop has within itself. Far too many of our younger artists are taking time out of their lives to address this guy and they don’t deal with the real. And they certainly don’t deal with the cops and rampant unchecked police brutality. There is a larger framework that Tekashi is a part of! I hate the way we try to tear down this little fool and don’t try to tackle the larger picture. At any rate, you guys can continue to deal with this dude who has the potential to get you knocked up and put in jail for football numbers but not deal with anything of substance. Elevate your game and maybe-  just maybe – people will back you in the way that we have back our past super artists!

SunPop Music: The Label Behind Landon Cube’s Latest Single Gaining Traction

Republic Records’ Landon Cube is best known for collaborating with superstars like 24kGoldn and Lil Skies, but his most recent track, “Down & Out (w/ SypSki & lil rxspy),” was released through SunPop Music, a label we hadn’t heard of before. 

The label’s socials are mysteriously empty, but after a little research, we were able to find the names of a few major releases. 

In addition to Landon Cube’s “Down & Out (w/ SypSki & lil rxspy),” SunPop has released: “Bad Intentions” – from Exit & boyband (of Internet Money fame) “Highlight Reel” – from Dylan Rockoff & bbno$ collaborator, Max Wells “Smile” – from Sara Bareilles & Todd Carey “False Art” – from Lizzy McAlpine & Ben Kessler, ….making for 10 million+ global streams in 2020 alone. 

SunPop’s trademark “flag” signifier seems to be something artists want on their releases these days. 

“SunPop is still a ‘behind-the-scenes’ operation for the most part….we don’t have a real social footprint and we don’t advertise. A lot of labels get to boasting before they have anything to back it up, but we want our work to speak for itself,” a spokesperson told AllHipHop.com. “We may officially launch the brand later this year, but right now it’s ‘if you know, you know. If you don’t, you don’t.’”

Two Rap Artists Have Strokes, But Who?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

You guys know, we don’t really do messy anymore. But I just want to say that a couple of Hip-Hop acts (individuals) have had some major health scares recently. Despite the common thread, some rappers don’t have to put their business on the Internet. These guys are not putting up selfies in the hospital or inspirational quotes either.

That said,That said, these two guys have suffered from strokes and have quietly dropped off the map in order to handle their health business. This truly saddens me because it seems like we are losing somebody every other day. It also upsets me because it feels like we are losing warriors in hip-hop faster than we are creating new warriors. That could be my skewed perception but that’s just how I feel about the matter. At any rate there are other health updates that I could offer but that would be unsolicited and it would also be exposing a lot of private vbusiness. I’m not into that anymore!I’m not into that anymore!

I’m not into that anymore!

But I am into, is hearing that people are taking care of them selves and living long lives. So I hope that that trend begins to be the normal one and not people dying or languishing in health.

Vic Mensa Takes Fans Behind The Scenes For “Shelter” Video Featuring Wyclef Jean & Chance The Rapper

Earlier this month, Roc Nation recording artist Vic Mensa reunited with his Chicago-raised comrade Chance The Rapper for the new single “Shelter.” Fugees member Wyclef Jean also starred in the track’s music video.

Vevo partnered with Mensa for an exclusive behind-the-scenes look at the Andre Muir-directed “Shelter” visuals. This latest installment of Footnotes revealed Mensa and Wyclef recorded a version of the song in 2016, but Vic did not like the verse on it at the time so it was never released.

“Wyclef is an artist who has always been a huge inspiration for me because his music is so emotive and honest, and that’s what this record is,” stated Mensa. Jean said, “Vic Mensa is a modern-day Wyclef, in the sense of not being afraid to tackle the hard issues.”

After a falling out and reconciliation, Vic Mensa and Chance The Rapper finally collaborated once again on “Shelter.” Chance expressed in Footnotes, “It’s always special when me and Vic get to create together. I think we pull out the best in each other.”

The collaboration is also a fundraiser for death row inmate Julius Jones. Mensa is supporting the Oklahoma resident who maintains he was wrongfully convicted of first-degree murder in 2002. “Shelter” is said to be inspired by an actual conversation between Jones and Mensa.  

“There’s a real renaissance happening right now, where there is a focus on Black work, Black content, Black art and I feel like it’s a long time coming,” expressed Director Muir. 

Mensa added, “One of my favorite scenes from the video is in the intro when the little girls were playing Ring Around the Rosie with the burning building behind them. I think that imagery really captures the essence of the song because it’s speaking on how we play this game, living and dying, often oblivious to the world on fire around us.”

It appears Maurice “Trick Daddy” Young will avoid additional jail time for being charged for cocaine possession and driving under the influence. The www.thug.com album creator reportedly agreed to a plea deal.

Trick Daddy was arrested in January 2020 after being pulled over by Miami police. Officers allegedly smelled alcohol on his breath, and he supposedly failed a field sobriety test. Police also allegedly found cocaine inside of a dollar bill in his possession.

According to TMZ, Miami prosecutors allowed Trick Daddy to plead guilty to possession of cocaine in exchange for getting credit for time served. The DUI charge was dropped.

“As part of the plea he was also able to give back to the community he loves so much with a donation to Camillus House homeless shelter,” Trick Daddy’s lawyer, Harris Gilbert, told the entertainment news outlet.

Former Black New York Cop Confesses About Government’s Role Malcolm X’s Assassination  

By: Houston Williams Updated Category: News
Preferred Source Publisher Button>

A former New York police officer has implicated the NYPD and the FBI in the brutal assassination of Malcolm X on February 21, 1965, in a deathbed confession.

The letter which was written by NYPD Officer Raymond Wood charges that the police department as well as the federal Bureau of investigation‘s covered up details of Malcolm‘s assassination, stating in a letter that they were ordered to infiltrate the civil rights organizations.

“I participated in actions that in hindsight were deplorable and detrimental to the advancement of my own Black people. My actions on behalf of the New York City Police Department were done under duress and fear,” said Reggie Wood, a relative who read Raymond’s letter aloud at a press conference on Saturday.

Malcolm X was shot and killed in Harlem‘s Audubon ballroom in New York City by assassins that were then identified as members of the Nation of Islam. The Federal Government as well as the local NYPD had an overt, heavy-handed role in the murder of Malcolm X, facts that have been verified prior to this startling admission.

It is not clear exactly when Raymond Wood died, but sources with AllHipHop have stated anonymously that he former police officer died last year. Wood did not want the letter to be made public until after he was dead.

Sources stated that the letter was immediately made available to Malcolm X’s daughters shortly after would have died.

The family now requests a new and more thorough investigation of the assassination. The NYPD has started some sort of probe into the allegations, but the FBI has yet to make a statement.

Famed Civil Rights attorney Ben Crump represents the family and now demands that the case be re-opened completely.

“Ray Wood, an undercover police officer at the time, confessed in a deathbed declaration letter that the NYPD and the FBI conspired to undermine the legitimacy of the civil rights movement and its leaders,” a statement from Crump’s office said.

“Without any training, Wood’s job was to infiltrate civil rights organizations and encourage leaders and members to commit felonious acts. He was also tasked with ensuring that Malcolm X’s security detail was arrested days prior to the assassination, guaranteeing Malcolm X didn’t have door security while at the Audubon Ballroom, where he was killed on Feb. 21, 1965.”

Celebrated journalist and author Raqiyah Mays chided a recent Netflix documentary that implicated the Nation of Islam is the group primarily responsible for the murder. 

“I knew that Netflix documentary blaming Newark was BS – full of holes and speculation – and people kept saying I was being sensitive because I’m from Newark. I feel pain because the legal assassination of those simply fighting for equality is woven into the fabric of this country,” Mays stated on an impassioned Facebook post. “Because of the trauma we are forced to deal with again and again just because we are Black. Because many of us – until this day – are still gunned down or locked up for taking a stand and organizing against them killing us slowly and often blatantly. I’m tired. Tired of the gaslighting. Tired of the struggle. Fully aware that no one is coming to consistently be there to help us but us. I’m thankful the truth has been revealed. May the entire Shabazz family hopefully find peace that comes with knowing the truth.”

Soulja Boy Tell Em has visionary in his blood.

Fans remember just a couple of years ago when the rapper announced that he was going to put out his version of a video game console. That 2018 effort didn’t go so well.

Many believed that the console was an imitation of Nintendo’s more popular product, with his name splashed across the top.

Soulja eventually stopped selling his SouljaGame Handheld, 800 and SouljaGame Classic after Nintendo threatened to sue him for selling pirated copies of their games.

Noooowwww, Soulja Boy is back with a new system that promises to be better than the last. On a Twitter account named @SouljaGame, the announcement came saying, “Soulja Game coming soon….”

“Building a new console from scratch, all new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history,” according to Soulja Game.

Another tweet followed asking for his followers to tag a corporate entity to partner with Soulja. In efforts to reassure people that this console will not be like the last one, he sent out yet another tweet: “Building a new console from scratch, all-new design. All new games. All new deals. Let’s make history.”

Soulja Boy previewed some of the new game consoles, which will be available to the public shortly.

The concept of FUBU (“for us by us”) has been propagated by Black business people in the entertainment industry for years, starting with the billion-dollar brand created by Daymond John, Carlton Brown, J. Alexander Martin, and Keith C. Perrin.

But few collectives have embraced this level of self-reliance as the creatives in Atlanta.

Now, with the support of the Georgia Entertainment Caucus (GEC), Michael Mauldin (Jermaine Dupri’s dad) and Demmette Guidry are stepping up to celebrate entertainers from the community.

The new Black Music and Entertainment Walk of Fame (BMEWOF) will be located in the historic downtown Atlanta areas on the sidewalks between Martin Luther King Drive and Northside Drive.

DaBaby Trends On Twitter Over “Disrespectful” Lyric About JoJo Siwa On “Beatbox”

DaBaby is the latest all rapper to run afoul of the Twitter mob, thanks to his new “Beatbox” freestyle over SpotEmGottem’s song of the same title.

DaBaby, born Jonathan Kirk, dropped the song on a few days ago. 

On Saturday, fans of actress JoJo Siwa started going after DaBaby, concluding he labeled her a b#### after this bar:

Using big words like I’m T.I./Don’t wanna get me started n####/turn me up, n##### gonna see why/N#### you a b#### JoJo Siwa (b####)/you let the wrong n#### get rich

Many of JoJo’s fans were furious. They blasted the Charlotte, North Carolina emcee for picking a fight 17-year-old. 

“What kinda beef this Dababy have with JoJo? 😪 the girl literally stays in her lane always, if she was a problematic celebrity I would understand but this was just unprompted. Just distasteful in my opinion,” one user fumed.

Another said: “Why did DaBaby call Jojo Siwa a b####? Does he know she’s a child? So f###### random and weird.”

DaBaby was most likely attempting to play off of his first name (Jonathan), and the pronunciation of JoJo’s last name (Siwa), which is pronounced “see-why.”

The controversial lyric had DaBaby trending on Twitter, where users were fiercely debating the line. 

Last week, Meek Mill was it a similar situation when his song  “Don’t Worry (RIP Kobe” leaked containing the lines: “If I ever lack, I’m goin’ out with my chopper, it be another Kobe…”

Take a look at some of the replies over DaBaby’s lines name checking JoJo Siwa on “Beatbox.”

Riots And Violence Continue In Spain Over Arrest Of Rapper Pablo Hasél

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

Police in Barcelona, Madrid, and some parts of northeastern Catalonia have their hands filled after civil unrest erupted in the streets.

The people are upset because Spanish-national rap star Pablo Hasél was arrested and sentenced to nine months in jail for lyrics that seemed to promote violence against the government.

Law enforcement report that over the last four days they have been hit by bottles, stones, fireworks, and even paint because his fans believe he should be freed, as his incarceration shows the country’s intolerance regarding freedom of speech.

It is alleged that Hasél’s words insult Spain’s monarchy and promote terrorism. The protest started off peacefully. But many believe the presence of police and small disruptors incited violence.

“Democracy protects freedom of speech, including the expression of the most awful, absurd thoughts, but democracy never ever protects violence,” said Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez.

According to DW.com, the rap lyrics and tweets that have caused this ruckus are not new, making it seem as if the country is not only out of touch (late) but targeting the creative.

Hasél said that former King Juan Carlos I was a mafia boss and that the police tortured and killed demonstrators and migrants.

 

Amnesty International has spoken out asking that Spain change its anti-terrorism and gagging laws to respect dissent and disapproving messaging.

He has also been supported by other artists and celebrities. But the voices and images of regular people on social media are ringing the loudest.

600Breezy Vows to Murder Tekashi 69 During Heated Exchange On IG Live

Chicago rapper 600Breezy issued a bone-chilling threat to Tekashi 69 earlier today (February 20th).

69 went live on IG to address a variety of situations, mainly his encounter with Meek Mill last weekend (February 14th). But things took an ominous turn when Tekashi 69 started talking about King Von, Lil Durk, Lil Reese, and 600Breezy.

69 has been posting insults at the Chicago artists since the death of OTF member King Von, who was slain in November of 2020, outside of an Atlanta hookah restaurant.

In the middle of another rant against Lil Durk and his crew, 600Breezy popped into Tekashi 69’s Instagram live. And that’s when things became very serious.

“You gonna die. You gonna f###### die. I’ma go to jail respectfully,” 600 Breezy promised. When I see you, respectfully I’m not Meek n####. And you got to move around with security cuz you a b####. Real street n##### don’t move with a team of security guards n####. You gonna die. Your security guards better be strapped in all that. You gonna die.”

Tekashi 69 only made things worse when he said: King Von can suck my dick, and rest in p###, you stupid bozo.”

After hurling more insults at each other, 600Breezy dropped off the line. Shortly afterward, Tekashi 69 abruptly cut his IG live session.

Tekashi 69 has been raising hell since he was released early from prison in April of 2020, after cutting a deal with the Feds. He snitched on high-ranking members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, to avoid a 40-year prison sentence.

Since then, he has been berated as a rat, a snitch, and even labeled a “horrible human being” by the director of an upcoming documentary called “Supervillian” which airs on Showtime tomorrow (February 21st).

Eve will take on the role of Brianna AKA Professor Sex. According to Variety:

Brianna is a proud wife and mother of five in a stained sweatsuit who barely has a second to breathe. Not glamorous, but Brianna loves her life. The Nasty B###### are a distant, distant memory. But when an opportunity arises for the group to reunite, Brianna will grapple with whether or not she still has the swagger and confidence that made her an icon decades ago.
