483: Trick Daddy, The Interview
Miami based rapper Trick Daddy is best known for his music. Each song is a reflection of himself or somebody he knows. Throughout his music career, Trick Daddy has been deemed controversial. This stigma is usually branded on artists who bring the ills of society to the public eye. The title of “controversial artist” sticks because the artists usually has little chance to defend himself(sic) in public because the song which explains it all isn’t covered by the mainstream. Unfortunately, this causes the artist to be highly misunderstood. Trick Daddy understands this but in no way apologizes for his music. He writes what he knows. This is evident in his new autobiography, Magic City: Trails of a Native Son. Written by Trick Daddy and Peter Bailey. I had the opportunity to interview Trick prior to the book coming out. He explains that his book should be used as a deterrent and should not be seen as glorification.

RTD FROST – “Non Stop” Ft. Tee Grizzley & Sada Baby
Today RTD Frost releases the audio to his new single, “Non Stop” featuring Tee Grizzley and Sada Baby.
Repping North Columbus, Ohio’s Joyce Avenue, this self made entrepreneur was recently released from a five year prison bid and hit the ground running.
R.T.D stands for Ready to Die, and while that may sound raw, RTD Frost says that it really means “FEARLESS.”
“See to be certified you have to be able to walk out of any door in life. That’s what makes a man more dangerous in life, being able to walk out of any door. Meaning, I can talk music with you right now, I can talk politics, and I can tell you some street s###,” RTD Frost explained. “Knowledge is power. I really come from the streets, it’s a lot of people in the rap game that say they come from the streets but they’re really not. I’m here to separate the real from the fake.
This knowledge of the streets has helped him land collaborations with some of today’s hottest rappers, Sada Baby, OMB Peezy, Tee Grizzly, DJ Holiday and many more.
Those collaborations have meant more than music as RTD Frost has developed real relationships with his collaborators.
“I grew up listening to Gucci, and I feel like our stories are the same, from going to jail and coming out doing better than we were before. I’ve always felt like I could relate to him on a different level,” he said. “I”d def influenced by Sada Baby and OMB Peezy too – since I’ve met them, they’ve shown me nothing but genuine Love. They give me advice and always call just to check on me. Sada told me to put my energy in my music and OMB Peezy told me to tell my story, don’t sugar coat s### and give them all your pain,”
Going forward RTD Frost is gearing up for his DJ Holiday hosted mixtape called Certified. On the mixtape where he switches up this flows to show his versatility on this project, highlighted by the song “Non Stop” featuring Sada Baby, Tee Grizzly and produced by DJ Phatty Banks and Kid Star.
While a music video for this song is still in the works with Sada Baby and Tee Grizzley being on tour, RTD plans to shoot a visual in the coming months.
“I love my fans the most. I’m going to always please ya’ll. I’ll have to where you’ll never know what I’m going to do next with my music or my videos. I’ll always stay consistent and NEVER let up,” RTD Frost said.

Troy Ave Shows How Much He’s Grown Up!
(AllHipHop Rumors) It has been a minute since Troy Ave graced the pages of this Rumor section. But as we enter a new year, there is an air of new energy. Back in the day, when he had a terrible beef with Joey Badas$$, Troy rapped, “STEEZ burning in Hell, my burner’s in my belt / I’m really killing s###, you n##### killing yourself / F###### weirdos, off the roof, “Steer clear yo!” At this point, people know that rapper Capital STEEZ killed himself days before Christmas 2012. On top of that, he called Steez a bozo for committing suicide. Now, we see he has had a total change of heart after catching quite a lot of hell over that lyric.
He sported a RIP shirt in a recent video. Check it out.
The whole thing is a part of a new song that the rapper has released, appropriately titled “Who I’m Becoming.”

Pharrell Williams Has A Team Of 12 Nurses To Care For Triplets
(AllHipHop News) Pharrell Williams has a rotating team of 12 nurses on his payroll to help care for his baby triplets.
The Happy superstar and his wife Helen Lasichanh welcomed two boys and a girl in January, 2017, and they have had their hands full ever since, as they are also parents to their nine-year-old son Rocket.
Despite his busy home life, Pharrell has managed to keep churning out hit songs as a producer and artist, while also touring with his reunited band N.E.R.D., and working on various fashion projects.
However, Pharrell admits none of that would be possible if he and Helen didn’t have full-time help as they rely on the professional support system day and night.
“We’re not alone…,” he admitted on new talk show GMA Day.
“Our parents are involved and we also have a staff; in terms of nurses, we have like, 12 people… Twelve ladies are in constant rotation: three in the morning, two at night.”
Although the babies are not even two years old, Pharrell admits he is already starting to dread the day his little girl starts dating.
After learning co-host Michael Strahan’s twin girls are 13 years old, he remarked, “You’re building a new fear.”
“We have a daughter too, man, and this world is a crazy place,” Pharrell said. “It’s a beautiful place, but it’s a crazy place…”
The musician’s comments about the couple’s hired help comes a year after he heaped praise on Helen for taking care of their babies’ every need.
“My wife is (U.S. Navy special forces) SEAL Team Six,” he gushed on breakfast show Today of her abilities as a mom. “There’s nothing she can’t do. I mean, she carried those three bodies, and she’s just on it all the time.”
Pharrell, who has yet to publicly announce the names of the new additions, also gave fans an insight into life as a father of triplets.
“I have a tribe,” he smiled. “It’s an assembly line… they harmonise (when they cry). It’s ‘Waah! Waah! Waah!’ all at the same time. Like one cries, the next one cries, the next one cries. They’re hungry, they’re hungry, they’re hungry.”
Mary J. Blige Shuts Down Rumors Of Faith Evans Fight
(AllHipHop News) Mary J. Blige has shut down rumors that she had a fight with Faith Evans last week, insisting the claims were “made up.”
As news broke of Cardi B and Nicki Minaj’s altercation at the Harper’s Bazaar party in New York on Friday night, speculation hit social media that Mary and Faith had also been involved in an incident while attending a bash hosted by Diddy in the Hamptons on the same evening.
However, as she attended the Dennis Basso show at New York Fashion Week on Monday night, which she walked in, Mary set the record straight about the incident, telling the New York Post’s Page Six: “Of course that was made up. I was shooting a movie in Louisiana… I just got here today.”
Faith’s representative also hit back at the claims, telling website HollywoodLife that the rumors were “totally false” and “(Diddy) didn’t even have a party.”
Mary looked stunning as she took to the catwalk at the Dennis Basso show, but added she had never thought she would get the opportunity to strut her stuff on a runway.
“I was a tomboy who thought about running in the streets or hopping a fence, playing basketball,” she explained. “I’m not gonna sit here and lie just because we at a fashion show. I just did not think about it, because I was not that girl.”
And explaining her technique for walking the runway, Mary added: “I don’t need the runway to walk with a f##k-you mentality. I walk down the street with a f##k-you attitude… It’s not ‘F##k the world,’ but ‘This is me, and you can’t stop me from being me.'”
