Frank Ocean is known to be an elusive and restrained public figure. Outside of lyrics on projects like Channel Orange and Blonde, he very rarely shares his personal thoughts.
However, the R&B singer is letting it be known he is not a supporter of the current POTUS. Ocean took to his Instagram Stories to comment about last night’s presidential debate between Republican President Donald Trump and Democratic former Vice President Joe Biden.
“Debates are on. It all feels fake. The problem’s that it’s not,” wrote Ocean. “Donald is president and might not leave the White House even if he loses the race so some say. [Please] vote. Watching him dragged out will be way more entertaining than these debates.”
Trump has repeatedly refused to agree to a peaceful transfer of power if he is not reelected on November 3. That refusal to adhere to a nonviolent presidential transition has alarmed many politicians, pundits, and voters. Trump currently trails Biden by 6 points in the national polls, according to the RealClearPolitics average.
Ocean added on IG, “If you’re not registered swipe up to Blonde.co the form just takes 2 minutes to fill out. Goodnight.” The Grammy winner’s Blonded website provides an online voter registration form. The site also has vote.org links for American citizens to check their registration status, view an early voting calendar, request an absentee ballot, and sign up for election reminders.
Rapper Quando Rondo was with a lawsuit stemming from a gross incident that went viral two years ago.
The shocking incident occurred on December 21st, 2018, during an all-age show called the “2K18 Holiday Jam” at the Florence Civic center in South Carolina with label mate NBA Youngboy.
Quando Rondo hopped in the crowd but somehow ended up in an altercation with a female fan named Jada Mya Wise. Jada, who was 16 at the time, got into it with Quando Rondo, and he ended up spitting in her face.
During a follow-up Post in response to the outcry surrounding the video, Quando Rondo admitted to spitting on the woman, who he said spat at him first.
After the show, Quando Rondo hopped on his Instagram and addressed the issue, and admitted he spit on the teen, but she supposedly spit on him first.
Now almost two years later, Quando Rondo, born Tyquan Terrel Bowman, is going to have to answer for his actions.
Jada Mya Wise is suing the rapper for publicly defaming, embarrassing, and humiliating her by posting the message to his 200,000 followers at the time of the incident.
“[Quando Rondo’s] conduct was so extreme and outrageous, to exceed all possible bounds of decency, it is considered atrocious and utterly intolerable in a civilized community,” her lawsuit reads. [Jada Mya Wise] sustained severe emotional distress as a result of [Quando Rondo’s] acts.”

Jada Mya Wise said after Quando Rondo called her out on IG, her emotional distress was “so severe that no reasonable person could be expected to endure it,” according to the complaint.
Quando Rondo has a few weeks left to reply, or the Judge overseeing the case is going to declare a default judgment in favor of Jada Mya Wise.
Wise is also suing Victory Promotions, Staff-1 Services Group, and the Florence Center.

This Friday (October 2), Westside Gunn will release his major label debut album on Eminem’s Shady Records. Who Made The Sunshine was originally set for a release in August, but the date was rescheduled out of respect for the death of DJ Shay.
When Who Made The Sunshine does arrive later this week, fans of Westside Gunn will get to hear the Buffalo native rap alongside some of the biggest names in Hip Hop culture. Benny The Butcher, Conway The Machine, Slick Rick, Black Thought, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Smoke DZA, and more are listed on the tracklist.
Production credits for Who Made The Sunshine include fellow Griselda Records representatives Daringer and Beat Butcher. Plus, Westside Gunn recruited Alchemist, Just Blaze, and Conductor Williams to provide beats for the studio LP.
Previously, Westside Gunn released 2016’s FLYGOD, 2018’s Supreme Blientele, and 2020’s Pray for Paris. His discography contains numerous mixtapes as well. The Roc Nation affiliate also contributed to Griselda’s WWCD album which came out in 2019.
On Monday night, Kentrell “YoungBoy Never Broke Again” Gaulden was arrested on drug charges in East Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Fifteen other individuals were also taken into custody at the time.
According to the Baton Rouge Police Department, officers searched several vehicles and the surrounding area at the scene. Investigators allegedly found handguns, rifles, marijuana, digital scales, and Xanax.
Gaulden’s attorney, Jimmy Manasseh, released a statement to WBRZ:
It is important to remember that when someone is arrested for a crime it does not mean they are guilty of anything. Kentrell Gaulden is innocent of the crimes he was arrested for yesterday evening. He did not possess any firearms nor did he possess any controlled dangerous substances. Law enforcement arrived on scene without any evidence of a crime occurring and immediately detained 15-20 young black men solely based on an alleged tip that firearms were present on the scene. We still have the Second Amendment in the United States. The immediate detention of these black men was illegal in that it violated their Constitutional rights. The subsequent searches conducted by law enforcement were also illegal. Even with the illegal searches that were conducted, no firearms or controlled dangerous substances were found on Mr. Gaulden’s person or in his immediate control. Mr. Gaulden is innocent of the charges he was booked on last night and looks forward to defending himself as such.
YoungBoy Never Broke Again was reportedly filming a music video at the time of his arrest. His most recent studio album, Top featuring Snoop Dogg and Lil Wayne, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200 chart earlier this month. YoungBoy was reportedly released from jail on Tuesday afternoon.
J. Cole is a lesson for emerging rappers who believe that they have to sell out and be on the radio 24/7.
The lyrical miracle has stayed true to his calling and has achieved notable success. In fact, his artistic integrity is one of the reasons that former President Barack Obama has him in his personal playlist.
His career as a rapper and his undying love for his community and home state North Carolina is why he is now the subject of a monstrous 40,000 square-foot mural designed by the graffiti artist JEKS and popular Hip-Hop photographer Jonathan Mannion.
The mural is located on the UHill Walls in Durham, North Carolina.
JEKS shared a photo of his “masterpiece” on his Instagram on Saturday, September 26. The caption put into words just how important the burner is to him.
“Another collaboration with legendary photographer @jonathanmannion of NC hiphop legend @realcoleworld for @uhillwalls in Durham NC. It was such an awesome few days surrounded by 40-plus other artists killing it.”
Though Fayetteville, J. Cole’s hometown, is over an hour away, it is still a high honor for the Dreamville emcee.
It is alleged that many knew about the 41-year-old’s victimization of these women, however, it is only until recently that their story has been told.
VICE News sat with one of Detail’s alleged victims, Kristina Buch, who talked about her story and what happened to her.
She spoke about being Detail’s protégée, having to endure his abuse, and the day that she finally escaped his torment.
What is shared in the article is how he allegedly beat her, slammed her head into a wall, screamed in her face, bit her, raped her, kidnapped her and made another young woman watch during an incident.
Another aspect that comes across in the article is how he used his power as a big-time producer to coax her into staying with him — because she needed him to succeed in her own career. Detail postured himself as her mentor.
She eventually left on a Sunday morning in May of 2018.
Buch told VICE News, “I was so exhausted I couldn’t drive. I wanted to drive and I couldn’t.
“I was so battered and dead,” she continued. “I opened my car door and threw up outside the car.”
“It was a spur of the moment thing. I didn’t think he was going to let me,” she continued. “But he said, ‘Fine, go be with your sister.’”
That was when she left and went to her sister’s home, blocked his number, recorded her injuries with photographs, and told the police.
The “Drunk in Love” producer, with all of his platinum-selling records, is now arrested and charged for the assault of multiple women.
According to the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office, the alleged attacks took place between 2010 and 2018 with women ranging from 18 – 31 (at the time).
Detail’s bail was set at $6.3 million and if he is convicted, he faces a maximum of 225 years behind bars.
Many have doubted him, but win after win, West still is swimming strong.
Another victory that the born-again Christian can boast is being included on the 2020 Presidential election ballot in Kentucky.
The Kentucky Secretary of State Michael Adams has recently confirmed this on a local media outlet, WLKY. Kanye’s name will appear on the ballot, both sample, and mail-in ballots.
This was not an easy process.
Secretary Adams worked diligently to determine whether or not the G.O.O.D. Music founder was eligible, looking over 19,000 petition signatures before making his decision.
It has been reported that he also qualifies for the following states: Arkansas, Idaho, Iowa, Tennessee and Utah.
Ohio, Montana, West Virginia, Wisconsin and other states did not see him fit to appear on the ballot. The rap star has filed lawsuits to contest some of those decisions.
Either way, Kanye West will not receive enough electoral votes to win, but many fear he could help President Trump’s election bid.
Doing things the “right way” has never been the path for Federal Way, Washington’s own New Track City. New Track City is a Hip-Hop/Alternative trio comprised of MCs Bem & Chi Stone along with producer Dru On Beats.
These guys sound more comfortable than most over any production, garnering the title “Musical Chameleons”. Musically influenced by the likes of James Brown, OutKast, A Tribe Called Quest & Kanye West, the group embodies their iconic predecessors not only sonically, but also palpably with a style all their own.
Their newest release “Plan B”, simply reinforces their diverse musicality. With the dynamic shift taking place around the world at this time from a global pandemic, to police brutality, New Track City refuses to let their dreams get deferred as they affirm on this anthem for everyone sticking to their Plan A.
“Sometimes when life comes at you from all sides it can get a little intimidating and hard to stay focused on your goals,” explains group member Chi.
This song is for everyone who hasn’t wavered, or lost sight of their mission. Above all else, “Plan B” is a reminder to everyone to “never look back there is no Plan B!”
The song is witty, cocky & experimental, all the components needed to create a classic Hip-Hop record. “Plan B” is the first single off of New Track City’s upcoming Mixtape “Y.U”. which is a play on the question “Why You? This mixtape answers that question for New Track City as they voyage through a journey of understanding and acceptance guiding the listener to answer that question for themselves.
“Plan B” dropped Sept 25th, 2020 on all available streaming platforms. Follow New Track City on social media and see for yourself why there’s no Plan B.
Dr. Dre has rejected his estranged wife Nicole Young’s demand for close to $2 million per month in spousal support, claiming that she doesn’t need it.
The founding N.W.A. member says that he is already paying all of her bills and has continously to provide for her needs.
One of the things Dre contends is evidence of his support is that she is currently living in his Malibu mansion, which is valued at $20 to $25 million.
A spokesperson who told TMZ.com, Dre noted that his security details bring her meals prepared by his private chefs three to five times a week. The mother of his children still has access to an AmEx Centurion Black card that is paid for by his business manager.
On said card, it is reported that in the last few months those bills have ranged from $150,000 to over $350,000 per month.
A revelation that has been made based on information from the Black card is that Nicole has tried to pay her lawyers with it. According to reports, their fee is a cool $5 million.
Needless to say that The Doctor is not paying those bills and has called them “unauthorized charges.”
The gracious billionaire even offered to Nicole’s attorney fees and an additional $350,000 but felt compromised after learning that she took $400,000 from their recording studio.
“This all seems like the wrath of an angry person being exacerbated by opportunistic lawyers,” Dre said as the records show that the divorce process is already a hefty financial burden.
The divorce is already so pricey that in two months, the couple has already spent more on legal fees than that average American makes in one year.
Denzel Washington once said, “A wise woman knows the importance of speaking life into her man. If you love him: believe in him, encourage him and be his peace.” No one knows this more than Trap rapper Jeezy.
Jeezy has recently become engaged to Jeannie Mai, co-host for The Real, and now Mr. “Trap or Die” will take his hood philosophy to a new Fox Soul talk show called Worth a Conversation with Jay ‘Jeezy’ Jenkins.
In celebration of his 43rd birthday on September 28th, he took to Instagram to make the announcement:
“Happy G Day To Me. Another year, Another endeavor. “It has been my passion and my drive to inspire, motivate and educate my culture. Every song I’ve ever written, every word I’ve uttered came from a real place and this is no different. Worth A Conversation, is self-explanatory. I will talk about issues that directly affect my culture and its people. From the front porch conversations to real life situations Worth A Conversation is bridging the gap. My own show, starting Oct 14th 7pm PST 10Pm EST I’m excited to be a part of the FOX Soul family and can’t wait to introduce you to Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins. #WorthAConversation@foxsoul”
Billboard shares that it will be a weekly show that will feature conversations about “a variety of issues that impact the Black community, such as the current social climate, sports, entertainment, and of course, politics.”
Jeezy told the music trade bible, “It has been my passion and my drive to inspire, motivate, and educate my culture.”
“Every song I’ve ever written, every word I’ve uttered came from a real place and this is no different,” He continued. “I will talk about issues that directly affect my culture and its people. From the front porch conversations to real-life situations, Worth a Conversation is bridging the gap.”
Jeezy’s, who is now known as Jay “Jeezy” Jenkins, new weekly show, will air on Fox Soul starting Oct. 14 at 10 p.m. ET.
Funnyman Dave Chappelle’s forthcoming live shows have been scrapped due to a “possible” Covid-19 exposure among the crew behind the comedy gigs.
Chappelle has been front and center during the pandemic with his Intimate Socially Distanced Affair shows in Yellow Springs, Ohio, but his efforts have been stifled due to a potential coronavirus threat.
“Due to possible exposure to Covid-19 within our inner circle, and out of an abundance of caution, we have elected to cancel the remaining … shows,” a rep told the New York Post’s gossip column Page Six.
Social distancing, face masks, hand sanitizer, temperature checks, and access to daily Covid-19 tests were all part of the show’s protocol, with the spokesperson adding: “We take Covid-19 very seriously and there have been no reported cases among patrons or crew.”
Chris Rock, David Letterman, Jon Stewart, Tiffany Haddish, Michael Che, Sarah Silverman, Louis CK, and Michelle Wolf are among the stars who have taken the stage alongside Chappelle during the shows – however, the “possible” exposure is not believed to have affected them.
The final performance was due to kick off on October 4th before the gigs were halted.
Big Sean is having the time of his life. With a top record on the charts in Detroit 2, brands are coming to his door-knocking to bask in some of his platinum shine. One of the biggest brands in America is checking for the Detroit-born rapper.
In a special-edition collaboration, “I Don’t F**ck With You” rapper and Budweiser will put out a limited-edition 25-ounce tall-boy only sold in Michigan that will feature a portrait of the star smack dab in the middle of the label.
The beer, called The Big Sean Tall Boys, went on sale on Monday.
The can will have the inscription on it “You’re the chosen one, show the world they made the right choice.” There will also other Easter eggs on the can that only fans will be able to identify like his signature Detroit hat and roses.
Big Sean posted on his Instagram an image with him and the beer with the caption, “Detroit 2 x Budweiser 🤯🌹🌍🤞🏾❤️ only available in Detroit for a limited time! No Sleeps #BigseanxBudweiser#Detroit2”
Budweiser knows how important rocking with Black musicians is and has had a history of supporting them.
From 1980 to 1999 (and a couple of spots in 2010 and 2011) the company hosted the Budweiser Superfest which was the biggest concert series of that era. Now, they are the lead sponsors for Jay-Z’s “Made in America” Festival.
Shy Glizzy just released his most fire project to date: “Young Jefe 3.” Putting on for his hometown of Maryland, the DMV rapper is one of the most favored artists in the rap game — doing everything independently and staying true to who he is down to the core. In his decade-long career, Shy Glizzy, real name Marquis King, has experienced all the ups and downs of life, injecting pure honesty and emotion into his lyrics.
When it comes to his fanbase, him and his Glizzy Gang crew never cease to deliver. When it comes to his ability to rhyme and diversity, the “Awwsome” rapper continues to flex his skillsets in creating his own sound: a hybrid of rap and R&B that feeds the soul in the most positive light.
He states, “I always say my music is like my diary. I’m taking them into my world, letting them experience Young Jefe and the lifestyle.”
With each “Young Jefe” mixtape release, Shy reels in all-star features. But this time, he intentionally chose the perfect balance between the elites and his own artists, including Meek Mill, Lil Uzi Vert, Ty Dolla $ign, G Herbo, and No Savage and 3 Glizzy respectively. The project is spearheaded by lead single “Lonely Vibes,” a heartfelt record about losing loved ones and coping solo.
At 27-years-old, Shy is a father to a 6-year-old and a businessman with his weed strain Jefe OG. Beyond all the glitz and glamour, Shy Glizzy is just happy to be able to take care of himself, his family, and his people.
AllHipHop caught up with Jefe at Village Studios in Los Angeles, a few moments after he debuted the new project via Instagram Live.
AllHipHop: Congrats on the release of “Young Jefe 3.” How are you feeling?
Shy Glizzy: I’m feeling good. Great!
AllHipHop: Who FaceTimed you just now?
Shy Glizzy: That was BuddhaBlessedThis Beat, he did the intro “Double 00.” He’s in the top 5 producers out right now.
AllHipHop: How many people were in your Live just now?
Shy Glizzy: About 4,800, but I need more.
AllHipHop: How was playing the album for them?
Shy Glizzy: It felt great. It was a great response, I’m waiting to see the results. Hopefully they f##k with it.
AllHipHop: Talk about the vibes, every song was a bop!
Shy Glizzy: Man the vibes come from my everyday lifestyle, what I’ve been going through the past year. I’ve been taking a break and working hard on my craft. I always say my music is like my diary. I’m taking them into my world, letting them experience Young Jefe and the lifestyle.
AllHipHop: You say “this s##t ain’t out right now,” why is that?
Shy Glizzy: N##gas ain’t making this type of s##t right here. This is real, this a lifestyle. It’s fly, it’s fun, it’s gangsta. It’s organic. It’s genuine music that everybody can relate to whether you come from that world or not, you go into that world when you’re listening to these types of songs.
AllHipHop: You had a line about “going back to your kitchen selling crack,” what was Shy Glizzy like them?
Shy Glizzy: [laughs] He was a bad man. When I first started selling drugs, I was about 12. A bad ass kid. A hustler though, I was about that money. Always about my money, so I was used to this lifestyle before I was granted this.
AllHipHop: There’s a select few of you guys killing it independently, I think of Dolph, Curren$y, you.
Shy Glizzy: You just feel free. Times like this when it’s quarantine, when other rappers aren’t making money, you’re making money. Because I own everything: my masters, my publishing. I get big checks monthly and quarterly. Ownership is a privilege in your own right, I can’t express that enough.
AllHipHop: Talk about signing your first artist through 300, No Savage.
Shy Glizzy: He’s a Savage, that’s my young n##ga. He’ll be out here tomorrow. He’s from my same block. He’s my lil homie, I seen him come up.
AllHipHop: How did “Forever Tre 7” with No Savage come abut?
Shy Glizzy: It was really organic, that was the second to last song on the tape. Tre 7 means 37th Street. They’re like “you gotta get No Savage on there,” and he did the song. That’s my lil bro, I want to see him shine so I put him on the tape. It really happened organic, we’re talking about our upbringing and where we come from. Me shedding the light on the youngin’.
AllHipHop: What do you look for when you sign an artist?
Shy Glizzy: I’m looking for somebody that can keep up, that’s it. He got it for sure. I’m looking for authenticity, not that fake s##t. Not just turn up, I can do that too. I can market someone like that, but this is more personal. I’m very proud, this is my first artist. It’s gangsta, the whole movement.
AllHipHop: What has fatherhood taught you?
Shy Glizzy: Wisdom. Patience. He taught me a lot. He taught me how to be a man actually. When I thought I was a man, I wasn’t a man until I had someone to look up to me. Somebody that actually follows my every move and anything I do. The way I dance, what I eat. He’s 6, it’s a different feeling.
AllHipHop: Is he listening to “Young Jefe 3?”
Shy Glizzy: Hell yeah, he’s probably up right now listening to that. [laughs]
AllHipHop: Does he know your lyrics?
Shy Glizzy: For sure, he’s on the intro. We were in Katana one day, he was saying some s##t and I put it on my IG Live story. It hit me like “damn, I gotta put this on my intro.” I put the video on my intro. He knows every song word for word.

AllHipHop: How much weed do you smoke in a day?
Shy Glizzy: In a day, I’m smoking an ounce or better for sure. I smoke about 2.5 to 3 grams in a Backwood.
AllHipHop: You smoking your own s##t?
Shy Glizzy: Yeah, Jefe OG. I’ve had it since December 12th, 2019. I’ma open a dispensary soon in Los Angeles. I got 2 more strands, a Sativa and hybrid coming.
AllHipHop: Do you like OG the most?
Shy Glizzy: Hell yeah, that’s all I smoke.
AllHipHop: Every project you put out has fire features. What was special about this album?
Shy Glizzy: The Meek feature definitely, that’s my brother. We’ve been rocking for a long time. We got songs together. That’s new, we just did it. That was the last song to make the tape, we did it last week in D/C.
AllHipHop: He came out there?
Shy Glizzy: Nah, he sent it to me. We got songs together and it never tied together. I didn’t put them on my project, he didn’t put them on his project. So it was big to have one with him.
AllHipHop: Were you guys waiting for the right time?
Shy Glizzy: Yeah, it’s never no rush for me. Not with my career, not with anything that I do. I’m a patient person overall. The NoCap feature was special too. G Herbo, all the features I have on there. The Jeremih and Ty Dolla is stupid!
AllHipHop: What are your favorite songs on the project and why?
Shy Glizzy: I like “Paint the Town Red,” it’s so personal. Bar for bar, I was expressing a different side of me. I like when I do that. I like a lot of the records on there, every record on there is dope to me. “Double 00.” “Hamilton” is a special record, featuring my little brother 3 Glizzy. That one s big. That one’s going to go up, a fan favorite for sure. Any record I make, I like.
AllHipHop: What does it mean to be able to take care of not only yourself, but your people?
Shy Glizzy: It means everything to me, that’s what I do it for since day one. I took a lot of sacrifices for my team, my artists, my hood, my family. Everything I did, keeping my whole ownership was a sacrifice for them in itself. I had to be there with my people. I didn’t want anyone to take me away from that or ever be in control of my destiny. I was in control of taking care of them and I enjoy having the responsibility. That’s what made me Jefe and brought this whole Young Jefe series together. Everyday, I’m grateful to be the man I am and wear that boss title.
AllHipHop: How many “Young Jefe’s” are we gonna get?
Shy Glizzy: That’s the last one, I gotta move on. Time to drop an album. This was to wake people up, now it’s time to really smash the gas and keep going.
AllHipHop: Any artists on your radar that you want to work with?
Shy Glizzy: Wayne, Future, Drake. I like Jessie Reyez, her voice would go dope with mine. I like Mariah the Scientist too, I’ve been with her since day 1 too. I’m a big fan of hers, my favorite R&B singer for sure.
AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let us know?
Shy Glizzy: Look out for No Savage and the Glizzy Gang album up next, then my album. I’ve been started working on it, but I’ma do some fire s##t tonight for sure.
If there’s one thing that’s for sure, it’s that the world started spinning out of control when Nipsey Hussle’s life was taken from us too soon. But while the legacy and memory of Nipsey continues on in the streets with his music, All Money In’s Pacman Da Gunman is also continuing to carry out the legacy of Nipsey Hussle’s All Money In record label along with J Stone and Cobby Supreme, Blacc Sam Fatts, Adam and DJ VIP among others.
“Ambient Lights” along with its accompanying video is produced by frequent collaborator SpaceNTime, who has produced for this All Money In rapper since they first met in 2015. The video, directed by Norberto Garcia of Ample Creative, sees Pac boasting and enjoying the fruits of his labor.
With his wrists, neck, and fingers draped in gleaming gold jewelry, Pacman details for us a small view into the lavish luxuries he maintains. The video has a dark but fitting setting, as we are blared with moving lights illuminating over his super models, and his Mercedes vehicle.
“Ambient Lights” serves as his most recent release since his collaborative album “Ground Zero” with All Money In labelmate J. Stone. Pacman Da Gunman has been quietly cooking up throughout this year as he continues the Marathon the late Nipsey Hussle set out to complete. With over 273K followers on IG and over 15,000,000 views on Youtube, Pacman Da Gunman is rapidly increasing in popularity.
Most recently, he was featured on Puma’s newest ad campaign for their collaboration with Nipsey Hussle’s The Marathon Clothing company. Pacman Da Gunman modeled the collection along with Nipsey Hussle’s wife, Lauren London, YG, and his fellow All Money In labelmates. Pacman Da Gunman was on display in billboards across major cities such as Los Angeles and New York.
Today we get a new single from Alabama native NoLove Stu as he teams up with 4PF rapper Rylo Rodriguez for his new single titled “Eat.” Now its been a while since we had a dope rapper from Alabama grace the pages of AllHipHop.com but this record makes it clear that we need to be paying more attention to this lesser known rap market. For those not completely hip to the 4PF movement, that’s Lil Baby’s label that has grown in notoriety over the last year and most recently battled it out with Wal-Mart after the mult-billion dollar chain tried to copy Lil Baby’s signature 4PF chain on their website’ jewelry store.
As for NoLove Stu, fans can look for his new project NoLove Letter coming soon for fans. Until then makes sure to tune in to this track here below via Spotify and via any of the other digital music platform like Tidal, Apple, Amazon or Deezer. There’s no question that Rylo Rodriguez at on this song, we can see what Lil Baby sees in his music.

Chuck D felt a responsibility to keep Public Enemy’s focus on politics and anti-racism the moment Donald Trump was elected as U.S. President.
The rap group has been addressing racism, inequality, and police brutality in its lyrics since the 1980s.
They recently made a new political intervention against America’s controversial leader by releasing the anti-Trump track “State of the Union (S###)” and album What You Gonna Do When The Grid Goes Down.
Discussing his dislike of the celebrity billionaire turned politician, Chuck told The Guardian: “This guy has the governing power over 300 million people and also a presence in the world. The dude has been a running joke.
“You know, he was just a half-baked celebrity real estate hypocrite from New York City that I kind of had known a large part of my adult life. To see this guy end up in the seat of responsibility was a call to arms the minute he got in there.”
During his first term, Trump has enraged his opponents and many African-Americans with his flouting of political norms, reaction to the Black Lives Matter protests, and courting of white nationalists.
Slamming the president’s supporters, he adds: “You’ve got people who love fascism and you’ve got some people who won’t admit it but they love racism.”
Revealing he will keep making records into old age the “Fight the Power” hitmaker, 60, continues: “When I decided to do this in 1986, I said, ‘OK, I’m gonna do this for the long haul.’ Now, did I say, ‘I’m going to be doing it when I’m 60 and 70’? How are you gonna say that when you don’t even know how long you gonna live? So I would just say I’m gonna do it until I don’t want to do it. I love rap. I’m just, you know, amazed I’m a part of it.”
Trina, one of the original bad girls in Hip-Hop, is back. But she’s not back with a new album, she’s back with a new venture!
Trina has join the countless people that are on only fans, the app we are people pay to see the intimacy‘s of someone’s life (often called paywall p###). Most people affiliate the service with seeing someone naked, having sex, or other explicit things that will get me blocked off google. I have never been someone that is on OnlyFans and never will. But people like Trina are getting me to think about it. Cardi B, Casanova, Safaree, Tyga, and may others are all on the service. There’s even a woman that acts like a puppy on the service so you don’t have to be naked!I don’t wanna see any man-tail, but the ladies might!Fun for all!

I love how they call it “exclusive content,” because that implies to me that Trina will not be doing like some of the more salacious people on OnlyFans. Anyway…what do you think? I wanna see…that thang!
Rocki recently released her EP ‘And So What’ that features the lead single “Vibrate.”
“Vibrate” speaks life and power into listeners as the track motivates the audience to know who they are, honor their worth, and protect their value through these trying times.
Although the EP falls in the Hip Hop genre, the songstress expressed that this was a “very sentimental” project in which she shared many gems with the world.
Rocki’s ‘And So What’ went through a highly selective track list vetting process, as it was narrowed down to 8 featured hits.
Her personal three favorite songs off the EP are “Passport,” “How You Feel,” and “No Su Casa,” which are all guaranteed to get your body moving. It was her positive, creative release of built up energy and emotion.
“[With] this particular body of work, I had no interruptions,” she said while reflecting on having full creative control.
“I was really able to tap into me and create what I wanted to create.”
She explained how her mind was swayed in the past and how this is her moment to give her fans her authentic self, unapologetically. Embracing the “and so what” attitude helped her to tap into another side of herself to convey what she was processing.
At the start of the pandemic, Rocki was in a headspace where meditation best served her to
elevate above the trials and tribulations that we have all collectively faced.
She turned inward to operate from a space of not caring or letting anything stop her. She explained,
“I feel like when 2020 started, everyone became defeated.”
The sacred space that she created allowed her to gracefully navigate through the pandemic in a state of peace instead of panic, contrary to how the masses have processed.
Taking the time out to create from a grounded and heart-centered place during the pandemic was a gift of healing and protection that she is sharing with the world.
Tyler, The Creator will cast his vote for the first time in November’s U.S. election.
President Donald Trump is facing tough competition from Democratic nominee Joe Biden as he bids to hold onto his position as POTUS, with the 29-year-old rapper explaining he’s decided to add his vote to the mix because he’s “seen the light.”
“I know I’m the last person y’all should ever take advice from, but I’m reiterating what everyone else is saying,” he said in a video shared to Instagram. “Please, please if you are young and your f##king back don’t hurt, go to them polls and cast the f##king vote.
“I didn’t give a f##k about none of this s##t just like a lot of y’all. This is actually going to be my first time voting. But I see the light.”
Tyler isn’t the only celebrity to have revealed he’s a first-time voter – Snoop Dogg recently confessed he was “brainwashed” into thinking that “you couldn’t vote because you had a criminal record”.
The rapper – who was convicted of drug possession in 1990 and on gun and drugs charges in 2007 – explained: “I didn’t know that. My record’s been expunged so now I can vote.
“I ain’t never voted a day in my life, but this year I think I’m going to get out and vote because I can’t stand to see this punk in office one more year.”
