Rah Swish is here to make sure the Woo lives on forever. Specifically, his good friend and late rapper Pop Smoke, who was shot earlier this year in February inside a rental home in Los Angeles.

Describing himself as “legendary,” the Canarsie, Brooklyn native is one of the hottest rappers amidst the Brooklyn drill scene, here to finish what Pop Smoke started. When it comes to the Woo, he states, “The Woo doesn’t really have a definition because the Woo is a lifestyle. It’s not a one-person title, there’s a lot of us that live the same lifestyle. Come from the same area, background, struggle, and we living these lifestyles — so we are the Woos.”

Equipped with an undeniable level of litness, Rah Swish delivers that aggressive, hard-hitting flow while adding his own ad-libs and storytelling. Most recently, he blessed fans with his newest project titled WOO Forever, spearheaded by “Feel Like Pop” paying tribute to his late friend. He also got his feet wet in the film world, releasing his short film BK Belly or #WOOVIE — inspired by Hype Williams’ 1998 classic Belly.

AllHipHop caught up with Rah Swish in downtown Los Angeles to discuss his friendship with Pop Smoke and the new project.

AllHipHop: Being from Canarsie, Brooklyn, what was the household like growing up?

Rah Swish: It was cool growing up. You don’t really know nothing else so you accept what you’re in. It was calm, it was regular. Street life, young black man growing up in the hood. Regular s##t.

AllHipHop: Who were you bumping coming up?

Rah Swish: A lot of Jay-Z, 50 Cent, Lil Wayne, Drake (the earlier stuff). I was f##king with them.

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize you wanted to do music forever?

Rah Swish: s##t, my gang. My brothers were rapping before me showed me. Once they started doing their thing, I’m like “s##t I can rap too.” I started rapping with them. After I seen the traction and attention it was getting around the hood, I stuck with it.

AllHipHop: You’ve been rapping for 5 years, when did you get on?

Rah Swish: The whole 2016 is when I started buzzing in Brooklyn. I was solidified as a Brooklyn rapper. From there, it was consistent work. From 2016 on, alright I’m a rapper now.

AllHipHop: You guys in the Brooklyn drill movement have a nice little wave going.

Rah Swish: I am glad we’re getting recognition. When we first started doing music, we never saw a future in it. It was a dream. We’re gonna rap and do what we’re doing right now. Now the stage it’s at, it’s good to see now because everybody’s eating. It turned this little hobby we’re doing into a real job.

AllHipHop: You were able to walk away from the streets?

Rah Swish: Definitely took a step away from the streets but you know, you gon’ be a street ni**a forever. When you get the right amount of money, you realize “I got s##t to lose.” I can’t be living the same regular lifestyle I was living. You move with some type of sense now.

AllHipHop: You just released WOO Forever, how does it feel to have it out?

Rah Swish: It’s good, the reaction was good. A lot of people told me they f##ked with it. I put together the project within a month a half. It felt rushed, but not really because I was just working. I was glad to see everyone f##k with it. During the times of what I was going through putting out music, to have them really accept it I appreciate it.

AllHipHop: “Feel Like Pop” is so powerful, how close were you with Pop Smoke?

Rah Swish: That’s my brother right there. We met in the hood, doing street s##t. We met on the block. I was rapping before him. Once he started rapping, we kept clicking together more and more. It was a vibe. You see Pop, you see Rah.

AllHipHop: Ya’ll got music together?

Rah Swish: We did a couple songs together. 2 of them got leaked.

AllHipHop: Were you mad?

Rah Swish: Mmm I was mad but f##k it, they’re still getting to hear it. We got 3 or 4 songs in the stash that didn’t get released. We got some crazy memories doing shows, a lot of shows. After the shows it’d be crazy. Before the shows, it’d be crazy. The whole show, life is crazy.

AllHipHop: Ya’ll turnt up or what?

Rah Swish: Yeah definitely, he the turn up king right there. He makes sure everyone is turnt.

AllHipHop: Turnt off the liquor…?

Rah Swish: Yeah, definitely the liquor. We don’t do too much hard drugs.

AllHipHop: The song is so powerful, how was making the song?

Rah Swish: It took a lot to make the song, it brings back memories. You try to block that out your mind so you don’t get emotional and stay focused. Shooting the video, I’m doing it for him. I’m not even gon’ watch it or let it emotionally affect me. Go through with it and get the s##t done.

AllHipHop: What was your reaction when you heard? You were in NY?

Rah Swish: Yeah I was in New York, leaving the studio. I heard and I thought it was fake, fake news going on. I started making calls, they’re like “nah he got shot.” I’m like what?” A couple minutes later, “he passed away.” The news was crazy, I didn’t know how to feel. Even though I heard it through the phone in real life, it was fake to me.

AllHipHop: What was it like seeing him blow up like he did?

Rah Swish: It was a good feeling because he always said he was going to do it. I’m looking at him, holy s##t this ni**a a psychic. How the f##k he …? so it was good. There’s never no hate in my heart for nobody, especially someone I f##k with and care about. The whole way, he always kept me in tune with every step. “Yo bro I’m doing this, so you ‘bouta do this. The labels like this, so f##k with this.” It was a good vibe, he always kept me in tune with what’s going on.

AllHipHop: How’s your journey with EMPIRE?

Rah Swish: What they were proposing made the most sense, for me to start my own s##t and have a partnership with them. They really showed me love. I met with Ghazi, Nima, Bobby, all had genuine love and actually f##k with me. They’re like “oh this song? I f##k with this. This the s##t you made last year? I f##k with this.” Alright, they’re in tune with what’s going on. They actually see me becoming a bigger artist.

AllHipHop: Do you want to stay independent?

Rah Swish: The independent label now is treating me good. I have to get presented with a good situation that’d make more sense. I’m really going with whatever makes sense at the time.

AllHipHop: What songs mean the most to you & why?

Rah Swish: Definitely “Feel Like Pop,” “Woo Forever,” “We Can Do It.” They all mean a lot because it was different moods that I was in. The song “Tongue Out,” I went to the studio drunk in a party mood. f##k it, turn up. That means a lot because whenever I get in my party mode, let me play “Tongue Out.” “We Can Do It” is a street love song, I f##k with that one. Whenever I wanna be a gentle gangsta, okay you can put this love s##t on. All of them really mean something to me because it’s a certain mood that I was in when I was recording.

AllHipHop: Talk about your short film under BK Belly?

The short film came about being in the studio, I’m telling them I can act too. They’re joking like “nah, you can only do this.” Nah, I can act. I’ve always wanted to be an actor, so we put it to the test. We actually made a script, did it and it came out fire. We’re definitely going to work on part 2. A lot of hours, I was tired as f##k. I wasn’t ready for all those takes. 1 scene, 37 takes, I’m like oh s##t. I had fun filming, definitely did what we expected it to do.

AllHipHop: What do you like about the film Belly?

Rah Swish: Just the whole thing and how it showed the whole street life. If a person don’t really understand the streets or never been to the hood, it really show me that aura and that energy.

AllHipHop: You say your passion is different, how so?

Rah Swish: I played sports, I played football. I got a different type of drive. Whatever I’m doing, I’m not going to quit. Especially if I put my heart into something, that makes the passion grow. I’ll never give up on anything I put my mind to. Music’s what I fell in love with, music is my life so I’ma give it my all. Give everything 110%.

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

Rah Swish: Liquor, water, Peanut M&Ms. Matter of fact, apple juice. [laughs] That’s my favorite drink, Tropicana apple juice.

AllHipHop: Best encounter you had with a fan?

Rah Swish: I seen this little kid, had to be around 6 or 7. He was so amazed to see me. No one’s looked at me like that, especially at such a young age. He’s rapping my s##t, crazy. I told him “you know I be performing and forgetting my words? You know all the s##t.” Young homie knows all the words, he was talking that s##t. He felt it.

AllHipHop: Top 5 rappers in rotation?

Rah Swish: I always switch my Top 5. Lil Baby, Drake, Roddy Ricch, Pop Smoke, Rah Swish.

AllHipHop: Dream collab?

Rah Swish: Jay-Z. We have the same birthday.

AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let us know?

Rah Swish: Rah Swish is in the state we are going to keep going crazy we are gonna turn up. It’s only the beginning. We are on a legendary run. We are gonna finish the job. Keep putting on for the woos.

Hip-Hop’s Pastor Hezekiah Walker’s “Every Praise” Hits A New Milestone

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) They say seven is a number of divine completion. Seven days in a week.

They say that there are seven deadly sins, it’s the number that people look to for the Lord’s validation and is mentioned 490 times in the Bible.

So it makes sense that it has taken about seven years, but one of the most popular gospel songs to hit the modern era “Every Praise,” has just gone platinum.

Hip-Hop’s pastor, Bishop Hezekiah Walker of the Love Fellowship Church, in Brooklyn performed the hit track on his album Azusa: The Next Generation in 2013.

Written by J. David Bratton, the song became an infectious soundtrack — played on the radio and sang in everyone’s church. Infectious is a great descriptor considering that the song stayed on the Billboard Hot Gospel Songs chart for 67 weeks and was named the Gospel Song of the Decade by the same publication at the end of 2019.

One of the most extraordinary stories surrounding the miraculous power of this song was about a child who was abducted.

During the kidnapping, as he was sitting in the back of the car, the young boy sang the song nonstop for three hours.

The men who snatched the boy kept telling him to “shut up,” but he would not. Finally, they dropped him off after nothing being able to take it any longer.

Chance the Rapper Demands Tory Lanez Be Held Accountable For Shooting Megan Thee Stallion

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Chance the Rapper believes that people should have Megan Thee Stallion’s back. He took to Twitter to blow the whistle of justice on her behalf:

Megan Thee Stallion was shot in her feet after a party in the Hollywood Hills of Los Angeles on July 12th.

For weeks, Megan remained silent about the details of that evening. But on August 20th, Meg took to Twitter to publicly accuse Tory Lanez of the shooting.

So far Tory, born Daystar Peterson, has been charged with carrying a concealed weapon in his vehicle.

Chance the Rapper chimed in on the drama and he believes Tory should be hit with more serious charges.

“I hope Meg really gets justice for what Tory did to her. And that we can all learn from this, how near and constant and serious, the threat of lethal violence and abuse is for every Black woman.”

The “No Problem” rapper has come a long way in how he understands the plight of Black women in the world, particularly in the shadows of Black men who in their own right, carry their own burdens of oppression.

Last year, Chance the Rapper made waves when he defended working with R. Kelly despite allegations of his being a sexual predator.

In an interview on Cassius, he made a statement that spoke to his own awareness of colorism, gender-based bias, rock-star idolatry, and his own baggage packed from the dirty laundry of outfits that come with being oppressed as a Black man.

“Maybe I didn’t care because I didn’t value the accusers’ stories because they were Black,” He admits to his own surprise. “Because usually like n**gas that get in trouble for sh*t like this on their magnitude of celebrity is light-skinned women or white ones. That’s when it’s like a big story.”

His position is to stand with Megan and now many other male celebrities are standing with Megan as well.

“Meg I admire your courage and applaud you for speaking up. We must Support Black Women, Protect Black Women, and Believe Black Women,” actor Michael B. Jordan said.

21 Savage been sent his prayers up, showing support in the best big brother way ever.

“Wish I could give megan a hug praying for you,” 21 Savage said shortly after the news broke.

Bryce Oliver Is Here To Uplift The Masses With His Music

By: Shirley Ju Updated Category: Features

Bryce Oliver is ready to break into the mainstream light. Hailing from San Bernardino, California and extremely proud to put on for his city, the singer and rapper uses music as a coping mechanism for his own mental health battles — in hopes of healing others who are struggling in the same light.

Boasting 203K followers on Instagram alone, the rising artist is known for his alter ego SadLyfe Bryce, which comes alive when he’s in the studio. He states, “It’s been a lot of times when I’m in the studio where I black out and go into a mode. It gets me through the days, that’s why Sadlyfe Bryce balances me out through my highs and lows.”

When it comes to musical influences, he’s a fan of Prince, Kurt Cobain, Kid Cudi, Juice WRLD, and XXXTentacion. Most recently, Bryce unleashed the official music video for “Ghost Rider,” which has received critical-acclaim amongst old and new fans alike. AllHipHop caught up with Bryce in downtown Los Angeles to discuss his upbringing in San Bernardino,

AllHipHop: Being from San Bernardino, what were you seeing growing up?

Bryce Oliver: San Bernardino is what raised me, my middle school to high school years. I always claim San Bernardino no matter where I go. Coming up, I was walking through my hallways looking for someone I could be like. There wasn’t really anyone. Shout out to people in the IE doing their thing, I told myself I want to break that trend. There’s going to be another kid in high school walking through the same cafeteria, the same hallways I’m going through. He’s going to know “Bryce walked through the same hallways, Bryce ate at the same cafeteria. I could make it just like him.”

AllHipHop: At what point did you realize you wanted to do music for a living?

Bryce Oliver: I never wanted to do music, my first dream was basketball. My brothers were rapping before me, my young brother was always freestyling dope. My older brother’s freestyling, they always had bars. I didn’t really care. I was going through a lot of s##t like depression from relationships and life. I remember my older brother telling me “why don’t you channel some of that energy into music?”

Bryce Oliver: I used to make voice recordings on my iPhone, because we didn’t have no money for the studio. My bro took me to the studio to this producer named OhGoshLeotus, we played the voice recording and he made the beat. That was my debut song “Situations,” put it up for fun on youtube and it got 400K views. I’m like “I’ma be an artist now.” Ever since then, we haven’t looked back. We kept going.

AllHipHop: You just released “Ghost Rider,” who or what inspired this record?

Bryce Oliver: “Ghost Rider” is crazy because I watch a lot of anime, a lot of movies. From Sons of Anarchy to my favorite movie The Warriors to the Dark Knight, all that s##t put together. A lot of my music is visual. I watched those movies, started going into my mind. We went to the studio, OhGosh played the beat and Rarri engineered the session. I don’t really write, I freestyle. We went off the head and it came in together, started layering the parts.

AllHipHop: Best memory from shooting that visual?

Bryce Oliver: The ATV, everything. Drifting around me, I’ve never seen burnouts before. He had the Hellcat, the homies had the motorcycles and ATVs. I felt like I was in the woods, that s##t was cool. My boy GODLY shot the video.

AllHipHop: How would you describe your fashion and drip.

Bryce Oliver: I like all types of s##t, I like retro, it really depends how I’m feeling. I like rockstar s##t, s##t that bands wear, but we dripping with J’s too. I’m from the West Coast, but the way I dress is more East Coast. I wear Timbs a lot, I dress in layers. When people see me, they’re like “damn it’s too hot to be wearing boots.” I wear boots wherever I go: Timbs, leather jackets, all that s##t. We drip like that, keep it simple.

AllHipHop: Why are you the “Living Legend”?

Bryce Oliver: I’m a story that’s untold. I always felt like the world was supposed to hear me a certain way. I don’t want to be famous, the thought of fame gives me anxiety. I’m to myself, I’m super secluded. That’s the toughest part about being in this music industry. My main challenge is I’m a loner type of person but on these songs, I’m having to be vulnerable. I’m leaving my comfort zone for my fans so it’s difficult, but they help me.

I really check my instagram DMs, they tell me “oh I listened to the song ‘Finesse Gawd’, that helped me get through a breakup.” Or “I was thinking about doing something, I heard that song “Depression” and it helped me.” It funnels me to keep going. I don’t want the fame, I’m good. It’s like a contradiction, I want my music to be heard worldwide but I don’t want the perks that come with it. I’m doing my best to maintain, taking it day by day.

AllHipHop: You’re fully independent, funding everything on your own. How did you gain a fanbase?

Bryce Oliver: I’m not into social media like that. My brother already saw it, he said “we need to get you on Twitter and Instagram.” We created an Instagram. We had 15K, I posted a few pictures. When I dropped that song “Situations,” that’s when more people really started coming in. I really interact with my fans — I don’t call them fans, I call them the wave. We’re all one wave, there’s no pedestal of me. I’m nothing without my fans, they get me where I’m going. They’re buying my stuff, listening to my songs. When I see them at shows, s##t call me Bryce. You call me by my first name, we all one. The fanbase has been growing ever since.

AllHipHop: Best encounter with a fan?

Bryce Oliver: At a grocery store,someone came up to me and said “don’t you rap?” I played it dumb like “do I?” They’re like “yeah, you made that one song.” I said “what song you talking about?” They said “Finesse Gawd,” I’m like “oh yeah, that is me.” Someone really noticing me away from the musical environment let me know that my music is touching people. I know I can’t be there physically for everybody so I want my music to be there emotionally for everyone around the world. We’re tryna bring people together and help people get through their daily battle with demons through my music. It’s the cure, the medicine, the vaccine.

AllHipHop: How have you been adjusting to COVID and quarantine?

Bryce Oliver: It lets you know some real s##t, as far as your surroundings. When s##t gets real, people get fake. I started noticing that from the financial support to the mental support, people being there but the creativity never stopped. I looked at this COVID thing as the perfect chance to put out music and turn this negative situation into something positive. We haven’t stopped. If anything, we went harder. We putting out videos, songs. It hit someone in my family so it did affect me in that type of way, this s##t is real. I was wearing my mask when I pulled up. I went to a family reunion, they looked at me weird saying “we family, we ain’t gotta wear the mask.” I wore it the whole time at the barbecue. Overall, I pray it gets better. Musically creative, we’re going to keep moving forward.

https://www.instagram.com/p/CCHGmLOBXEz

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

Bryce Oliver: I’ma tell you the things I don’t need. I don’t like anybody in the studio. The only person that comes to the studio is my little bro or my older bro who is my manager. I don’t like people being in there, I don’t really have homies. We lock in, I go into a different dimension. I create this world for SadLyfe Bryce, we craft all of our records like that. I like being alone in real life so when I’m in the studio, it don’t change.

AllHipHop: What would you be doing if you weren’t doing music?

Bryce Oliver: I wanted to play basketball, that was the main thing, I was serious in basketball, I played travel basketball, AAU. I was good at track too. If it wasn’t for music, I don’t know what I’d be doing because I was heading down a dark road. Music saved my life. Depression is real, mental health is real. There’s been days where I’m like “what is my purpose? It got really dark, like tunnel vision dark. Music came, it was meant to save me. God knew I wasn’t going to make it without it.

AllHipHop: Goals yourself as an artist at this point of your career?

Bryce Oliver: I want the fans to not remember me because of my music, but my identity and what I stand for. My main goal is to keep making music that’s real to me. If something’s real to me, it’s going to appeal to the masses. I don’t want to be famous, I want my music to be heard worldwide and bring people together.

AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let us know?

Bryce Oliver: I advise every artist out there to find yourself before you get into the industry. If you don’t, you’ll become somebody you’re not. There’s sharks in the industry, this world in general is designed to break your spirit. I’m not embracing sadness or depression, I say SadLyfe because if you’re dependent on this world to find happiness, to find who you are, you’re going to lose. This world is designed to see you fail from the day you’re born. Keep that s##t going. To all my supporters and stuff like that, I’m not s##t without y’all. Y’all keep me going. Mentally when I’m feeling f##ked up, I go on Instagram and go through 500 to a 1000 messages. My fans really check on me, away from music. I really tap in with them. Stay true to yourself.

Frank Ocean Has Top Secret Project With Acclaimed Filmmaker

(AllHipHop News) “Call Me By Your Name” director Luca Guadagnino has been working on a “secret project” with Frank Ocean.

The filmmaker made the admission in an as-yet-unpublished interview with the New York Times’ Kyle Buchanan, who tweeted about the new information.

Explaining that he’d “recently worked with Frank Ocean on a secret project,” the Oscar nominee shared: “We were collaborating on a music video that never happened.

“I use the Times to launch an appeal to Frank: Frank, let’s do that video. Come on,” he said.

Earlier this year, Frank released the double A-side single “Dear April” and “Cayendo,” with the songs believed to be from a forthcoming project – his first since 2016’s Blonde.

They follow 2019 stand-alone tracks “DHL” and “In My Room.”

Jay-Z’s Lawyers Say Politically Charged Billboard Calling For Arrest Of Murderous Cop Denied

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Alvin Cole was 17-year-old, a mere teenager, when a Wauwatosa cop fatally shot him in February 2020.

Officer Joseph Mensah, the man who says that he acted in self-defense, also killed two other Black men, Antonio Gonzalez in 2015, and Jay Anderson Jr. in 2016.

Officer Mensah, a Black man, is currently being investigated for Cole’s February shooting by the Milwaukee County DA’s office.

The police-involved killings have sparked the current hashtag movement, #Justice4TheeThree, to direct more attention toward the unique circumstances surrounding their death.

Another attempt to draw awareness to the murders was made by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation.

The social justice component of the radically successful Roc Nation empire, Team Roc, presented two proposals to the Wisconsin based firm, Lamar Advertising Co. to have call-out billboards calling for Mensah’s immediate arrest.

One of the billboards would have said, “Justice for Alvin Cole, Jay Anderson, Antonio Gonzales. They did not deserve to die. Officer Mensah must be held accountable.”

Both were rejected.

Team ROC’s legal team says that this is “outright censorship.”

The attorney on the case stated, “Frankly, for a company that purports to want to protect people’s First Amendment rights, this really struck us as censorship on what is a hot-button topic.”

The Lamar Advertising Co. spokesperson said via email, “The billboard copy from Team Roc was vetted through our usual copy acceptance process and rejected on the basis that we do not post copy concerning potential crimes unless there has been a judicial determination of guilt.”

Cardi B’s Label Bosses Almost Scrapped Hit Song With Megan Thee Stallion

(AllHipHop News) Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s chart-topping collaboration “WAP” was almost pulled by bosses at the rapper’s record label.

The provocative tune proved a hit with fans, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and its accompanying video, featuring stars including Normani and Kylie Jenner in a lavish mansion featuring butt sculptures, breast fountains, tigers and leopards, quickly went viral on social media.

But on the radio show Ash London Live, Cardi said that bosses at her record label, Atlantic Records, were unsure of the track when she first presented it to them.

“When they heard the song, they were like, ‘We really like it, but that song is so explicit’,” Cardi shared of the raunchy track, which has the full title “Wet Ass P##sy.

“And I guess they were asking around because even with YouTube we couldn’t use the explicit version. We had to use ‘wet and Gucci’ to keep it PG-13.”

She continued: “My label was really scared about the record. They were like, ‘Can you please get another record and you could put Megan on it?’ And I was like, ‘No’.”

Cardi also admitted she too began to get nervous about the track, confessing, “I kept asking people, ‘Am I saying p##sy too much?'”

50 Cent Says “Angry Black Women” Quote Taken Out Of Context

(AllHipHop News) Rap star 50 Cent is defending some controversial comments he made about “angry black women” earlier this year.

During in an interview with Haute Living magazine, Fif defended the controversial remarks during his interview with Lil Wayne, insisting his comment was misconstrued.

“What I said exactly was… ‘When the person is from somewhere other than what you’ve experienced, the communication is a little different because they come from different walks of life’,” he said. “And when I said that, (there was a lot of anger and women saying), ‘You don’t think black girls are exotic.’ And I said, ‘They be angry when they see a black man with someone else other than African-American women in general.’”

50 comments sparked an immediate backlash. 

In fact, Wayne’s daughter Reginae and her mom Toya Wright chimed in shortly after 50’s appearance on Young Money Radio.

And 50’s ex, Vivica Fox was more forthright with her reply, labeling 50 a “f##k boy.”

“He just has f##k boy tendencies. When I read that I was like, “Really?” You would say that, because you don’t want anyone to challenge you,” Vivica said.

He’s never not (been) able to hit me, my mother or brother, and get what he needs! FOCUS ON HIS FREEDOM!” 

Kim K didn’t say anything. 

But, P came back.

“Speaking the truth is not being disrespectful, it’s just reality. @monicadenise I don’t know you and I ain’t trying to get to know you, just for the record. You stated you have been on C’s visiting list since Parish, that’s over 18 years and how long have you known KimK, you just now got your bff to send out a tweet. I guess better now than never.. and you’ve been married twice during that time.. so you are his ride or die. You or any other woman don’t have to prove y’all loyalty to our family, if y’all agenda is real and it’s to help get him out then do it and stop talking.”

“The mission for my family is always going to be about getting my brother’s freedom, we’re family no matter what happens we gone always be brothers,” Master P continued. “This is not about me, I’m standing up for the older people in my family that have been getting disrespected and disregarded for too long when they’ve been there for C since day one. The truth needs to be told, it might make some uncomfortable but it is well overdue, that is the only way we can heal and grow as a family. What the enemy meant for evil, God will use for our good.” 

P sounds hurt. I think he has tried all he can to get people out of their situations and does not feel like it helped. 

May peace prevail! 

Tekashi 6ix9ine Trolls Megan Thee Stallion As “Snitching” Debate Rages

(AllHipHop News) Don’t pay Tekashi 6ix9ine any mind. There is a difference between what he did … and what Megan Thee Stallion did.

Megan Thee Stallion, a college student by day and a rap star by night, took to social media late Thursday evening to name Tory Lanez as the person that shot her earlier this summer.

She confessed to keeping his name confidential because she did not want him to get into trouble, however, his team and Internet nobodies have forced her to come forward to name Tory as the shooter.

Tekashi on the other hand, put himself in street stuff for profit, aligned himself with the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods and told on them after their relationship with sour — leading to the lock-up of almost everyone that he pointed his technicolored finger at.

And so … after Megan painfully shares her truth, the Brooklyn rapper trolls the Houston emcee, by playing her song “Girls in The Hood” on his Instagram.

The “GOOBA” rapper bobs his heads in the video as the song bumps, “F##k bein’ good, I’m a bad b##ch (Ah) … I’m sick of mother##kers tryna tell me how to live (F##k y’all) … Wack hoes hate under my pictures on the ‘Gram (Ugh) … B##ch, you better hope I never run across your man, uh … In the mall with him, I’ma have a ball with him (Yeah, yeah, woah) … Somebody call Rihanna…”

Ultimately, the little unicorned-prankster captions his post, “Megan my new favorite rapper.”

Kanye West Loses Chance To Be On The Ballot In Ohio

(AllHipHop News) Kanye West continues to experience a few bumps in the road toward the White House.

This time, it did not come from a weird tweet or the backlash from fans of the “Old Kanye,” but from the Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose’s office.

In a press release, they shared the unfortunate news about the Birthday Party candidate.

“Mr. Kanye West and Ms. Michelle Tidball failed to meet the requirements necessary to appear on the presidential ballot in Ohio for the November 3, 2020, General Election. Based on a review of the documents submitted by the West campaign, both the information and a signature on the original nominating petition and statement of candidacy submitted to the Secretary’s office do not match that of the nominating petition and statement of candidacy that was used to circulate part-petitions.”

As a candidate to qualify for the ballot, “a valid and sufficient joint nominating petition and statement of candidacy that complies with the law and at least 5,000 valid signatures from Ohio voters and a slate of 18 presidential electors.”

“A signature is the most basic form of authentication and an important, time-honored, security measure to ensure that a candidate aspires to be on the ballot and that a voter is being asked to sign a legitimate petition,” said LaRose. “There is no doubt that the West nominating petition and declaration of candidacy failed to meet the necessary threshold for certification.”

States that he applied for and will appear on the 2020 presidential ballot are as follows: Arkansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Utah, and Vermont. The following are the states, other than Ohio, that rejected his submission: Illinois, Montana, New Jersey, and Wisconsin

The candidate still believes he is a viable candidate and has suggested that he can still beat the Democratic ticket, even in write-ins.

Hass Irv: No Patience

By: Shirley Ju Updated Category: Breeding Ground

Hass Irv has “No Patience”… literally. Hailing out of New York, home to some of the illest rappers in the game, the West African artist puts his all into his music — creating nothing but bangers for his growing fanbase. Having spent time back home in Africa until age 7 when he moved back to Harlem, real name Hassan Kone quickly became immersed in both the hip-hop and fashion scene.

Coming up in high school reselling sneakers, being surrounded by the culture led Hass to discover music would be his end-be-all. His bars are hard, his energy is turnt, his lyrics are gritty, his sound is one-of-a-kind. Plus, he already also has a rare cosign from Pusha T and a song placement on HBO’s Euphoria.

He describes himself as “the leader of the new school. An emerging artist who’s experimenting with a lot of new sounds, figuring out how to mix having fun with taking over the industry.”

Now, he finally unleashes his debut EP titled No Patience. AllHipHop caught up with Hass Irv in downtown Los Angeles to discuss roots in Harlem, Pusha T moment, favorite songs off the project, and more!

AllHipHop: You came to the States at age 7, from Africa right?

Hass Irv: I was born in New York, my mother lived in Harlem. At the age of 2, my parents divorced and sent me to Africa. When I came back, it was about really fitting in and getting accustomed to the lifestyle of being a New Yorker. Being from Harlem. Maturing and learning that swag.

AllHipHop: What did you soak up in Africa?

Hass Irv: I learned a lot about my traditions. Being humble, having humility, having a sense of respect for my elders and people around me. When I came back, I absorbed being American differently from other people who are raised here. They’re from where I’m from, but didn’t get to go back home. I got to see everything from a different perspective.

AllHipHop: At what point did music become real for you?

Hass Irv: s##t, when I started getting good feedback from everybody. Friends, people around me, a lot of close homies to me were listening to the little roughs I had, hyping me up and telling me “keep working.” I was feeding off of the reactions honestly. I wanted the reaction to keep getting bigger and for more people to hear me to see if they like it or not. If not, it’s over.

AllHipHop: How would you describe your sound?

Hass Irv: My sound’s intricate, versatile. It can’t be described as one. A lot of the times when I go in the studio, I base it off of my emotions or what’s going on in real life. It’s hard for me to pinpoint one sound because it’s all truth.

AllHipHop: How did you link with Rich The Kid on “Celine”?

Hass Irv: It was dope. A friend of a friend set it up. It was really last minute, everything happened so quickly. It happened that same day. The session was a lot of energy, we made the song in 30 minutes.

AllHipHop: What did that collab do for your career?

Hass Irv: It was cool!, I wish I would’ve pushed it more. At the time I did it, I was young so a lot of my new fans are just now hearing about it. Down the line, my fans will appreciate it. I myself know I could’ve pushed it even more. It’s still a good record though, one of my favorites.

AllHipHop: How does it feel to have your debut EP, No Patience, out?

Hass Irv: It feels amazing. I finally have a project out, it’s called No Patience because I really had no patience. I was waiting forever to drop it, it’s finally out now. It feels good to be able to tell my fans that I’m here to stay for good. No Patience is a message to my fans to tell them: “I don’t want to hold myself back. I’m not gon’ let anybody hold me back anymore. I’ma do this for y’all and for me.”

AllHipHop: Favorite songs on the project and why?

Hass Irv: “Nice Day” and “Geronimo.” I like those 2 because I was having fun. I remember those studio sessions, I was putting in a lot of good energy and positive vibes. I love being in the studio with just the people, that energy. Protect your energy. I love to be around because when I’m in that zone, I flourish. It doesn’t have to be forced, it always comes out beautifully.

AllHipHop: 3 things you need in the studio?

Hass Irv: Good weed, pretty females, and my team. We’re going to make a hit every time.

AllHipHop: The “No Patience” record itself is superlit.

Hass Irv: I made it at my house all with my bros, it was dope. My boy had just come from LA. It goes over my head sometimes that we made such a good record in the house. Looking back, it was the same as being in the studio. That energy when you’re with the guys, a dope beat comes on and feeling it.

AllHipHop: How’s your fanbase back home compared to elsewhere?

Hass Irv: Back home, it’s always love. I built a community around myself: fly people, fly cats still figuring themselves out like me. Young people who want to express themselves, channel it. Everywhere I go, I try to attract the same type of people who are like myself. I don’t try to fake myself or force any relationships. I like to keep myself around people who are young and experimenting, out here tryna live life until they find out what’s their calling.

AllHipHop: Pusha put you on his 1800 Seconds compilation album, how’s it feel to have his cosign?

Hass Irv: That’s a legend. That’s my brother right there. Shout out to Push, I appreciate him for everything. Being a person that I could say I was in the studio and got some insight from, that’s big for artists coming up from Harlem. Coming from a small part of a big city and being able to extend my reach over an artist who’s a legend in Virginia and has reach all across the globe.

AllHipHop: How’d that happen?

Hass Irv: Wayno set that up. Shout out to Wayno, his mans.

AllHipHop: How do you know Wayno?

Hass Irv: Being a cool kid from Harlem. I’m also Muslim, so that helped us build our relationship as brothers through religion. Aside from that, he got word of mouth through me working and making a name for myself out of Harlem.

AllHipHop: How was it hearing yourself in Euphoria? [“Secrets”]

Hass Irv: s##t, crazy. I found out after the show had aired. The first episode came out, someone called me like “yo, your song is on Euphoria.” I’m like “my song’s on Euphoria?” I watched the pilot episode and heard “Secrets,” like wow! First thing I did was go figure out the business, had to make sure I had my mines. It was a great feeling. A blessing to be on such a dope show that almost all my friends watch, everybody I know watches.

AllHipHop: How did you find your way to Asylum Records?

Hass Irv: Working with Wayno (VP, A&R, Asylum). Getting it out the mud, keeping our head down working together. Working in silence. When the time came, we struck.

AllHipHop: How was being featured in the Dapper Dan x Gucci campaign?

Hass Irv: That was dope. I got a call from my manager, he said “you got a Dapper Dan shoot next week.” I was ready, I was made for that. I’ve always wanted to get my feet wet with modeling. I’m not 100% sure I want to be a full-time model, but that’s something I aspire to do. Being that Dapper Dan is really well-known in Harlem, notorious for being a fashion icon all throughout Harlem and the world honestly, felt like it was a trophy they gave me. I was so happy that day.

AllHipHop: Talk about your love for sneakers & reselling business.

Hass Irv: I love sneakers. I got them Off-White 5’s on right now, I spent damn near $1000. I have an addiction. I started buying sneakers with my own money in high school. I always wanted sneakers, but I could never really afford it. I started reselling, keeping myself around people who are into what I’m into. Going into high school, I was hanging out with sneakerheads and got into that community. Even being a sneakerhead helped me make a name for myself with music.

AllHipHop: How so?

Hass Irv: Before I even got into music, I really had 5000 followers off sneakers and fashion. Everybody thought I was a model.

AllHipHop: You’re so tall, were you playing any sports at all?

Hass Irv: I played basketball in middle school. Sports weren’t really my thing. I knew I wanted to be something.

AllHipHop: Anything else you want to let us know?

Hass Irv: Tell my fans to be yourself. Never let anyone write your story, you write our own story. We all gon’ figure it out. Move at your own pace. It’s a marathon not a race.

Stylz & Wells recently released the video to their single “Product of the GHETTO” featuring Nipsey Hussle, Rezee, & Just Liv. The single from the duo’s recent VIBES album currently has over 600K streams collectively between Apple Music, Soundcloud, and Spotify, and continues to climb. 

The music video was filmed in the heart of the LA Crenshaw district and the San Fernando Valley, displaying some of the amazing memorials for Nipsey and Kobe throughout the city.

Released Saturday on Nipsey’s birthday, it was a great way to celebrate Nip’s life and legacy.

The video memorializes Nipsey, Kobe Bryant, and former TDE artist Rezee, who also was a recent victim of gun violence murdered in the Nickerson Gardens in his hometown of Watts, California.

The video tells the story of a young basketball star growing up in the Crenshaw district but is bussed to the valley for sports. The lead character is played by West Valley league MVP high school basketball player David Elliott IV who recently committed to LMU. The video also features a guest appearance by legendary WNBA player, Cappie Pondexter. 

They state, “This visual is our way of honoring Nipsey and his legacy while mourning his loss. We were lucky to be able to work with him and we are inspired by his community work. We seek to continue empowering the youth like Nip however we can. We hope the video inspires and brings healing to all mourning the loss of Kobe, Nipsey.”

50 Cent Loses “In Da Club” Battle With Rick Ross

By: Kershaw St. Jawnson Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It seems that Rick Ross may have bested his industry nemesis rapper 50 Cent in a lawsuit surrounding the Maybach Music mogul’s 2015 remix of “In Da Club” … again!

Fif, whose real name is Curtis Jackson, believed that Rozay unlawfully used his name and voice on the remix, which appeared on his mixtape “Renzel Remixes.”

After losing the suit the first time, the Queens rapper’s case finally made its way to the U.S. 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals. To his chagrin, the court upheld an earlier decision to dismiss the lawsuit.

The basis of 50’s argument is that he should have the right to his own image and likeness and that had been violated by Ross’ flipping of the song, which was used to promote his 2015 album Blackmarket.

Just last week, the Miami-based rapper taunted 50.

In regards to his upcoming Black Mafia Family series, 50 wants to use Ross’ 2010 hit, “BMF.”

During an interview, 50 Cent said: “at some point, I think that has to play in the BMF series.”

Rick Ross didn’t say “no.” Instead of simply issuing a clearance for the record, the “Bawse” wanted to put 50 cent to work as his employee.

“That’s most definitely a discussion I’ma have to have,” Rick Ross told Billboard. “But him reaching out, I’ma profit off it. And that’s what it’s about with me. I told him that. He could go to Wingstop and take a picture of a 10-piece Lemon Pepper [chicken wings] and while you at it, take a picture with a Black bottle [of Belaire].”

“And if he do that and post that, I’ma really consider clearing the ‘BMF’ record for the show. Shoutout to Southwest T. So I would love to see the brothers shine, it’s not about Curtis Jackson at all.”

Famed Rocker Nick Cave Denies Kanye West Collaboration

(AllHipHop News) Rocker Nick Cave has silenced rumors suggesting a secret collaboration with Kanye West is the reason for the controversial rapper’s album delay.

Kanye had previously announced plans to drop Donda on July 24, but the date passed without any further mention of the project or when it would be released.

Speculation somehow began surfacing online linking Cave to the album, leading one fan to ask the singer about his potential involvement via his The Red Hand Files blog.

“Is it true that Kanye’s new album is delayed because you both took the last minute decision to include a track you have been working on together?” wrote a Belgian follower going by the name of Vassilis.

Shutting down the rumors with a short denial, Cave simply responded, “Dear Vassilis, No. Love, Nick.”

Kanye appears to have put the Donda album plans on the back burner for the time being as he presses on with his 2020 campaign for the U.S. presidency, which was only formally announced in July.

Schoolboy Q’s Passion For Golf Gets Him Big Look In PGA Tour 2K21

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Schoolboy Q is living out his professional golfing dreams virtually after becoming a playable character in a new video game.

The “Floating” MC has been added to the player options available for gamers in the new PGA Tour 2K21 release.

And he’s also been tapped to star in a new promo, alongside former golf World Number One Justin Thomas, Thelma & Louise actor Chris McDonald, and wrestling star The Miz.

Schoolboy Q has become quite the golf aficionado in recent years, and frequently hits the green whenever he’s on the road.

“Last summer on tour my assistant booked a course every day,” he told Golf Digest last year.

“She looks up courses online, and she knows I need the best of the best of the best… I played a bunch of tour courses. I played where they had the Canadian Open (at Glen Abbey Golf Club, near Toronto). Shot an 82 at that mother! I had three birdies, hella (a lot of) pars, a couple doubles.”

PGA Tour 2K21 dropped on Friday (Aug 21) for Xbox One, Playstation 4, and Nintendo Switch.

Trey Songz Sex Assault Accuser Allowed To Remain Anonymous

By: AllHipHop Staff Updated Category: News

(AllHipHop News) A woman suing Trey Songz for assault has won her bid to keep her name out of legal proceedings.

The Jane Doe was told she would have to go public with her real name if she wanted to proceed with her complaint, but according to court documents, she has now been given permission to sue anonymously by a Federal Appellate Court.

The Georgia woman filed a $10 million lawsuit against Trey at the beginning of the year, accusing him of assaulting her in a Miami, Florida club.

The case will now go back to the district court and Jane Doe will not have to name herself.

“This is a lawsuit arising from a sexual assault and battery committed by Neverson (Trey Songz birth name) upon Jane Doe while the two were partying at the E11even Miami night club on January 1, 2018,” the complaint read. “This suit is based on claims of Assault, Battery, Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress, and Negligent Infliction of Emotional Distress.”

The plaintiff claimed the musician invited her to a nightclub after they spent New Year’s Eve together at rap mogul Diddy’s home.

She was taken to a VIP table where she claims Trey Songz “sexually assaulted and battered” her by “proceeding to forcefully place his hand under her dress, without her consent, and attempting to insert his fingers into Jane Doe’s v##### without her consent or permission.”

The woman added: “Shortly after the incident with Neverson at E11even Jane Doe discovered that she was not Neverson’s only victim at E11even, as another female who was in attendance at the nightclub with the group confided to Jane Doe that Neverson had also put his hands down her pants and had placed his fingers into her buttocks without her consent earlier that same night.

“Neverson intentionally created an offer of bodily injury to Plaintiff by force under circumstances that created a well-founded fear of imminent peril in Plaintiff and Neverson had the present ability to effectuate his attempts to produce bodily injury towards Plaintiff when he reached under her skirt and attempted to insert his fingers into her v#####.”

The “Bottoms Up” hitmaker took to Twitter on Wednesday to defend himself after a woman called Aliza, also known as AJ, appeared on the No Jumper podcast with her friend, Instagram personality Celina Powell, and claimed she was once held hostage by him.

She also maintained he urinated on her after she o##### pleasured him in a hotel suite bathroom.

Trey Songz insists the encounter never happened and posted screenshots of his previous direct messages with Aliza, who appeared to offer herself up for sexual encounters and begged him to unblock her on social media.

Is Megan Thee Stallion A Snitch?

By: illseed Updated Category: Rumors

(AllHipHop Rumors) The “streets” are permeated into the internet. Is Megan Thee Stallion a snitch? I can’t believe this is even a question because Megan Thee Stallion is a victim of a crime. As we Peru’s the Internet, we see exactly how dumb and misinformed people are.

Megan Thee Stallion was shot two times in her feet by Tory Lanez, allegedly. They were in the midst of a deep argument with witnesses present and he was so upset by what was being said that he shot her as she attempted to leave the situation.

And now people are calling her a snitch for calling out Tory Lanez, her alleged assailant. What in the world is going on with you people? This is a woman that was shot by a man! Shot! And somehow she is supposed to just keep quiet about it? In fact, that is exactly what she did. She did not name Tory Lanez as the actual shooter until this point. It seems like some of the PR’s spin upset her. Make no mistake about it, there are people that are vehemently trying to keep Tory Lanez safe and out of jail but they should let the lawyers do the talking.

So, Megan Thee Stallion went off on Instagram live last night right in the middle of the Democratic national convention. At first I thought it was some kind of conspiracy to distract people from what Joe Biden was saying because he had a hell of a speech last night. But I realize Megan just let it go. At any rate, Megan the stallions is not a snitch because she is a regular citizen. I think she try to abide by those rules to a certain degree because this could be the end of his career. but as far as I’m concern that’s not her job right now.

So, stop all the rat emojis! Goofy!
