Rod Wave Has The Kevin Gates Co-Sign

By: Shirley JuCategory: Features

Rod Wave is one of the hottest names to come out of St. Petersburg, Florida, with the streaming numbers and fans to prove it.

Boasting over 329K followers on Instagram alone (and growing daily), the newly 21-year-old arrives in the rap game with one of the hardest falsettos, which pairs perfectly with his spitfire flows.

Just weeks before embarking on a tour with Kevin Gates (serving as direct support), Rod was locked in the studio with the New Orleans rapper, who made it known he doesn’t typically collab with… anybody.

Mid-conversation, Gates chimes in: “Man that n##ga raw, I don’t make music with n##gas. How many features I had on Luca Brasi — on any of my projects? Not one. It’s mood music.”

AllHipHop: What was the inspiration behind your name?

Rod Wave: Rodarius is my real name. But Wave, I used to be scared to drop my music. One day, one of my homeboys just dropped it and made my name up. When I came back to school after two to three weeks, everybody’s like “Rod Wave!” I started dropping my own music and using it.

AllHipHop: “Popular Loner” is at over 11 million views on Youtube. Did you foresee it blow up like this?

Rod Wave: No, I just found out it was at 11 million two or three days ago. Last time I seen it, it was at 2 million. When I first started, I was setting the 10K mark, then I started setting the 100K mark. Lately, I’ve been setting million, two million marks. After that, it’s on to the next thing. Let’s get the next thing at two million.

AllHipHop: How’s it feel to see those numbers for someone who didn’t want to drop music?

Rod Wave: [Laughs] It’s crazy! Now I make sure I put out music. I used to put out music and just cut my phone off. I used to be scared of what people gon’ say. Now I be reading comments, I’m good.

AllHipHop: Why should people f##k with you?

Rod Wave: People should or they shouldn’t. I really think they should because I’m dope. I’m one of those artists where… I feel like everybody’s human at the end of the day. Everybody got they own problems. Everybody goes through s##t. My music is reality music, ‘cause everybody has ups and downs.

AllHipHop: How has music been a form of therapy?

Rod Wave: I’m not really good at communicating with people, so music helps me get stuff off my chest.

AllHipHop: What are you most excited for going on tour with Kevin Gates?

Kevin Gates: Man, we thuggin’! Whatchu mean?

Rod Wave: I just like to see the world and new people. Plus that’s gonna be big for my career, so I’m excited.

AllHipHop: What are some goals yourself as an artist at this point of your career?

Rod Wave: Just to go further. Make sure next year I’m not where I’m at this year. Just like last year, making sure I’m always further than I was the year before.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) “Empire” star Terrence Howard has put his retirement plans on hold after joining Brett Leonard’s new film “Triumph,” opposite “Breaking Bad” star RJ Mitte.

Last month, Howard revealed he was planning to quit acting once the current and final season of his TV drama ended.

“I’m done with acting, I’m done pretending,” he told news show Extra. “I’m just focusing on bringing truth to the world.”

But it appears he has had a change of heart and he will also executive produce the film, alongside Michael D. Coffey, who also wrote the film based on his life story.

Production on the film, about a teen with mild cerebral palsy who dreams of becoming a high school wrestler, is currently underway in Los Angeles, according to Deadline.

“I’m proud to be a part of this important film, ‘Triumph,’ which highlights virtues such as sacrifice, perseverance, and the infinite strength of the human spirit; overcoming adversity while promoting anti-bullying, and inclusivity for young people with disabilities. My family and I are honored to support the United Cerebral Palsy Foundation with this film,” Howard says.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) British rapper Wiley has beefed up his feud against Ed Sheeran by wandering around the streets of London wearing a mask of the “Perfect” singer.

The grime artist labeled Sheeran a “culture vulture” after he teamed up with Stormzy on a remix of “Take Me Back To London” from his recent No. 6 Collaborations Project album, prompting Ed to set the record straight via Twitter.

Ed, who has received public support from Stormzy and Tinie Tempah, insisted everyone should have fun with music and “feel good.”

But Wiley isn’t backing down, and he uploaded video clips of himself walking around wearing a Sheeran mask to Instagram.

Wiley has also aimed at Drake, calling him a “culture vulture” for trying to plant himself into the London grime scene.

WATCH: Dr. Dre And Jimmy Iovine Open Their $70 Million Academy At USC

By: Mike WinslowCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Dr. Dre and Jimmy Iovine have officially opened the new permanent home of their University Of Southern California (USC) arts and technology academy.

The legendary musicians endowed the USC with $70 million to create the Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young (Dre’s real name) Academy back in 2013 and announced they had found a permanent site in Los Angeles four years later.

On Wednesday, the pair officially opened Iovine and Young Hall, where students can earn a unique degree in arts, technology and the business of innovation.

The new building is a three-floor, 40,000-square-foot institution on the USC campus.

The producer and record executive, who has worked with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Patti Smith, and U2, teamed up with Dre to help him run Death Row Records in the early 1990s, and they later founded Beats Electronics in 2006.

Their firm was bought by Apple eight years later for more than $3 billion in money that they have now channeled into an academy they hope will produce the moguls of the future.

Iovine also said that as he “retired” from his role as an Apple executive – taking a step back to work as a consultant, he would be “really involved” in overseeing students’ studies at the new arts and business school.

Nine Trey Gangsta Blood Associates Guilty Of Kidnapping Tekashi 6ix9ine

By: Nolan StrongCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) After 10 hours of deliberation, a jury has reached a verdict in the sensational trial involving rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.

Anthony “Harv” Ellison was found guilty of kidnapping in aid of racketeering, as well as racketeering conspiracy, maiming, and assault with a dangerous weapon in aid of racketeering.

His fellow Nine Trey associate Aljermiah “Nuke” Mack was found guilty of racketeering conspiracy and narcotics trafficking.

Mack and Ellison went on trial and both men faced off against former associate Tekashi 6ix9ine, who testified against both men.

6ix9ine testified against Mack and Ellison for three days straight during the eight-day trial, and revealed the structure of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods during his time on the stand.

He also gave a glimpse into the infighting which resulted in his kidnapping and robbery in Brooklyn in July of 2018.

The feds claim Aljermiah Mack dealt drugs and committed acts of violence on behalf of the gang.

As for Ellison, he was charged for orchestrating 6ix9ine’s abduction during a feud between various members of the gang.

Mack and Ellison were the only two defendants to stand trial and face a jury and both men claimed Tekashi 6ix9ine set up his kidnapping, as a stunt to promote his song “FEFE” with Nicki Minaj.

Today jurors delivered guilty verdicts for both men, who face possible life sentences for their participation in the RICO conspiracy. 

Beyonce And Solange Tested For Mutated Cancer-Causing Gene

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) Beyonce and Solange Knowles got themselves tested for the mutated BRCA2 gene after learning of their dad Mathew’s breast cancer diagnosis.

The former Destiny’s Child manager spoke about his diagnosis in an interview on U.S. breakfast show Good Morning America for Breast Cancer Awareness month.

And in his chat with Michael Strahan, Mathew revealed that the first call he made when he learned of his health battle was to his famous family members.

Knowles said he knows there’s a good chance that his children could be carriers of the same gene, which would make them more likely to suffer from cancer in later years.

“The first call was to my family because this is genetics – it means that my kids have a higher chance, a higher risk (of getting cancer), even my grandkids have a higher risk, and they handled it like they should – they went and got the test,” Mathew explained.

He didn’t reveal the results of the tests.

Mathew is a father of four – he shares Beyonce and Solange with ex-wife Tina and two young children with current spouse Gena Avery who he married in 2013.

He added that after being told he had breast cancer, he was warned by his doctor that being a carrier of the gene means it’s more likely he might suffer from prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer or melanoma at another time of his life.

He will continue to have regular mammograms and other examinations to ensure he is free from the disease.

As for how the music mogul is doing now, he told Strahan: “I’m doing really well. I had my surgery the last week of July and now I’m going through all the steps for recovery.”

(AllHipHop News) R. Kelly’s sex abuse trial has been set for May.

The embattled singer, who was arrested in July on separate federal counts in New York and Chicago, Illinois, is still behind bars, with his lawyers attempting to get him out on bail, despite prosecutors’ fears he’s a flight risk.

Kelly, who has pleaded not guilty to all the charges against him, will now face off with U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly from May 18.

Desiigner Calls For A Release From His Label

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It has been three years since Desiigner peaked at #1 on the Hot 100 chart with the ubiquitous hit “Panda.” That same year G.O.O.D. Music president Pusha T welcomed the Brooklyn rapper to Kanye West’s music imprint.

Fast forward to 2019, and it appears Desiigner is publicly asking to be let out of his deal with G.O.O.D. Music/Def Jam Recordings. The 22-year-old Bedford–Stuyvesant representative tweeted, “FREE ME FROM THIS LABLE.” 

At the beginning of the year, Desiigner took to Instagram Live to express his thoughts about his G.O.O.D. Music boss. He even took credit for supposedly breathing life back into the company.

“Nobody is doing this sh*t for me. Nobody is doing this sh*t for me,” said Desiigner. “I signed to Kanye West, the biggest n*gga in the world. Y’all n*ggas think he’s the genius… But to me, that n*gga’s crazy. To me, n*gga, I’ve been doing this sh*t myself. To me, n*gga, I brought G.O.O.D. Music back and everybody know that.”

Since joining G.O.O.D. Music, Desiigner dropped two projects – New English in 2016 and L.O.D. in 2018. Neither body of work entered the Top 20 of the Billboard 200 chart.

Desiigner has not charted on the Hot 100 since 2017. That year his feature on the BTS song “MIC Drop” peaked at #28. Desiigner’s only other Top 40 entry is the Platinum-certified “Tiimmy Turner” which stalled at #34 in 2016. “Panda” has been certified 5-time Platinum by the RIAA.

“What y’all talking about I fell off. I only dropped two mixtapes, bro. Two, bro. Y’all people mad ungrateful for the music I gave y’all. Y’all n*ggas need to start putting me on top. I did Diamond for y’all n*ggas two times, bro. Y’all n*ggas need to chill,” declared Desiigner in that IG video from February.

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

(AllHipHop News) The three men arrested in connection with Mac Miller’s death have all been indicted and accused of dealing counterfeit oxycodone.

Federal prosecutors insist their actions caused the rapper’s overdose death last year.

Each charge carries a mandatory minimum sentence of 20 years.

Walter is also charged with being a felon in possession of ammunition – he was previously convicted on a drug distribution charge.

Lil Baby On Selecting Ali Tomineek & Rashad Jackson As Doritos “Spark The Beat” Contest Winners

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Earlier this year, Dominique “Lil Baby” Jones revealed he was partnering with Doritos for the “Spark The Beat” competition. Aspiring musicians were able to submit a beat or vocal track for a chance to win a share of the $100,000 prize and record a track with the Quality Control Music artist.

“Me and Doritos hooked up back in June or July to do this ‘Spark The Beat’ contest. The marketing team on my label hooked up with Doritos. They gave me a rundown of what was going to be going on and asked me if I would be interested. I was like, ‘Definitely,’” Lil Baby tells AllHipHop. The “Drip Too Hard” performer adds, “When I started going through [the contestants] and a lot of stuff was similar, I started looking for things that stood out, someone who was different.”

Lil Baby and an expert panel reviewed countless entries before selecting Arizona rapper Ali Tomineek and Atlanta producer Rashad “ShadOnTheBeat” Jackson as the “Spark The Beat” winners. Lil Baby met wit the two victors in the studio to create a song featuring Tomineek’s rhymes and Jackson’s production.

“We actually re-recorded the song. When I sent them the song, it was on another beat so we re-recorded the song on the new beat – my version and the new vocals,” explains Baby. “It’s gonna come out next month. It’s not gonna be on my album. It’s gonna be a single release.”

Through the process of evaluating the “Spark The Beat” contenders, Lil Baby was exposed to a lot of unsigned artists looking to launch their careers on a mainstream level. Some of the acts that missed out on the opportunity to collab with the 24-year-old hitmaker this time could get a phone call or DM from Dominique in the future.

“That was the good part about it too. Just because I only could pick two winners, it still gave me a chance to met thousands and thousands of new artists that are really talented,” says Lil Baby. “I’m in the process of reaching out to a couple of people that didn’t get the chance to win.”

The “Spark The Beat” contest probably will not be the final time Doritos and Lil Baby band together. When asked about more possible partnerships with the tortilla chips brand, Baby offered, “Definitely, definitely. We have something else ahead.” Could a Doritos Super Bowl commercial starring Lil Baby follow other high-profile ads with Hip Hop stars like Busta Rhymes and Chance The Rapper?

Cardi B Explains How French Montana’s “Writing On The Wall” Was Originally Her Song

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Three of the biggest artists in contemporary music joined forces for “Writing On The Wall.” French Montana, Cardi B, and Post Malone all contributed verses for the track. Rvssian is listed on the song too.

French Montana initially revealed he was working with Bardi and Posty back in April. The New Yorker mentioned the collaboration during an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music’s Beats 1. Behind-the-scenes footage from the “Writing On The Wall” video shoot made its way to the internet soon after that Q&A.

While Montana is credited as the lead artist, Cardi claimed she recorded “Writing On The Wall” first. The Bronx rapstress spoke about how the song came together during an Instagram Live broadcast on Wednesday.

“Somebody’s talking sh*t about ‘Writing On The Wall.’ Let me tell you something about ‘Writing On The Wall.’ It was a record, it was a reference that was given to me. It was Post Malone and this artist… I did the song and I actually had three verses on the song. That whole song was my song,” explained Cardi. “Around the time of my album, the song was really hard to clear. I don’t know if it was because of the production or the producer. I don’t know what happened, but the record just got scrapped off my album.”

She continued, “Then like four or five months later, French Montana’s people hit me up about the song. I’m like, ‘What the hell?’ The beat changed and I only had one verse on it. I’m like, ‘You know what? I don’t give a f*ck. If this is your record, you want it, I don’t care, whatever.”

In addition, Cardi told her followers that she is not planning to drop any more music in 2019. This year already saw the release of her Top 20 hits “Please Me” with Bruno Mars and “Press.”

She also had several other Top 40 entries on the Hot 100 chart this year, including features for DJ Khaled’s “Wish Wish,” City Girls’ “Twerk,” and Offset’s “Clout.” Music videos for the 2019 collabs “South Of The Border” by Ed Sheeran and “Rodeo” by Lil Nas X are rumored to be in the works as well.

DJ Premier Talks Working With Guru’s Son For Gang Starr’s “Family And Loyalty” Music Video Featuring J. Cole

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Following the death of Keith “Guru” Elam in 2010, many Gang Starr fans looked forward to eventually hearing more unreleased vocals from the late emcee. Last month, DJ Premier delivered a new single titled “Family and Loyalty,” the first official Gang Starr record in 16 years.

“Family and Loyalty” also featured a guest appearance from North Carolina-based rap star J. Cole. The Dreamville Records head informed his 13 million Twitter followers that this would be his final featured verse.

Thankfully, there is a visual to go along with Guru and Cole’s bars on “Family and Loyalty.” Hip Hop pioneer Fab 5 Freddy directed the music video which was filmed in Harlem, New York and Fayetteville, North Carolina.

“Everything is very emotional and raw because he’s not here, but his spirit is here,” says Premier about the absence of Guru. “We shot the first half of this video on Cole’s turf and we had a very limited window in North Carolina. Fab 5 Freddy called me and he was really worried he would not be able to fly in from New York due to Hurricane Dorian. I told Freddy that Guru was piloting the flight and he would get him here safely and on time, and he did.”

https://www.instagram.com/p/B21xvqYhhID

While “Family and Loyalty” is the first Gang Starr video created without the group’s Boston-born founding member, the theme of the record plays out on screen with a descendant of Guru. His son, Keith Casim, stars in the clip as well.

“Keith was nine when his father passed away and he is now nineteen. I used to babysit him. He made me feel like Guru was there with me,” states Premier. “I told him he has the same look in his eyes as his father and everyone on set commented on how striking the resemblance is.”

The production wizard adds, “It was really important to me to have Guru’s son be a major focus of the video. Keith is starting to really understand the legacy his father left behind and the whole team is sharing so many stories with him. We are honest with him, how much fun Guru and I had, the bad times, we are not sugarcoating anything; we want him to know his father.”

Dozens Of Homophobic Tweets From ‘Joe Budden Podcast’ Co-Host Mal Resurface Online

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) Once again old problematic tweets have potentially put a public figure in a troubling situation. This time, 38-year-old Jamil “Mal” Clay of The Joe Budden Podcast is the person on the hot seat.

Yesterday, over 25 old tweets from Mal’s Twitter account began circulating online. Those 2012-2013 posts from the podcaster contained the gay slur “f*ggot.”

“I can’t fight this fight alone. These F*ggots are relentless and want to be acknowledged. I need my real brothers to stand and fight,” read one of Mal’s tweets from October 3, 2012.

Another tweet, posted six days later, stated, “If a chick gets naked in front of you only to put clothes on and asks you ‘How does this look?’ and you don’t f*ck, You’re a F*GGOT!”

A tweet from November 2012 appeared to be about Top Dawg Entertainment rapper Kendrick Lamar. Mal wrote, “Kendrick a F*ggot and a real n*gga at the same time. He said he was jealous of other n*ggaz but that’s real for him to admit that. Salute.”

One tweet from 2013 seemed to encourage violence against homosexuals. The brother of Roc-A-Fella Record co-founder Kareem “Biggs” Burke tweeted, “Both of them f*ggot n*ggaz need to be stabbed in their groin and bleed to death.”

Another tweet from that same year implied sexual assault against women. Mal tweeted, “She says ‘No! Stop!’ one time and you pull your pants back up?? You’re a F*ggot.”

Mal has not publicly addressed the re-surfaced homophobic tweets. He may speak about the controversy on the upcoming “Episode 286” of The Joe Budden Podcast which is scheduled to premiere October 5 on Spotify.

Former SOB x RBE Member Lul G Arrested For Murder

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) According to reports, George “Lul G” Harris is facing one count of murder in Clark County, Nevada. The former member of the Vallejo-based rap group SOB x RBE is in custody in Fairfield, California.

Lul G was reportedly arrested on September 21 after a warrant was issued, and he is now being held in the Staton Correctional Facility. Bail has not been set as of press time, and no additional information on a court date has been revealed.

A representative for SOB x RBE confirmed with Complex that Lul G has not been a member of the collective since late 2018. He was not part of WAV’s The Drop documentary released in November of 2018. However, earlier this year, SOB x RBE and Hit-Boy released the joint project Family Not a Group with limited contributions from Lul G. 

Slimmy B, Yhung T.O., and DaBoii are the official current lineup for SOB x RBE. The original foursome gained national exposure from the track “Paramedic!” off the Kendrick Lamar-curated Black Panther: The Album.

Over the last several years, SOB x RBE released the studio LPs Gangin and Gangin II as well as the EPs Tutuland with Big Money and Roll The Dice with Marshmello. Lul G dropped his solo effort, Yhung N*gga World, in 2017. Additionally, the 20-year-old Def Jam signee appeared on the label’s Undisputed compilation album in 2019. 

At one point, Lul G admitted to being on probation as a result of armed robbery and gun charges. He told Fader last year, “It’ll be [a] big opportunity that none of us will probably ever see again in our lives and they’ll just tell me, ‘No.’ Straight up. It’s like, basically, y’all want me to lose my career, so I have nothing, so I’m forced to do stuff that’ll have me stuck in this system.”

B.O.B. Loses It Over Death Rumors!

By: IllseedCategory: Rumors

https://twitter.com/BeckhamHeir/status/1178789502883680267

(AllHipHop Rumors) Did you see that? What in the WORLD is going on with the boy B.O.B.? Now, I don’t know what is going on with this dude, but he seems to have unraveled recently. The dude just lost it and really seems to resent the people that may have – at one time – supported him.

I am not going to judge him, but too harshly, but I am going to say that this isn’t right – unless he is talking about somebody specific. If that is the case, he needs to call that person’s name! We care about ya BOB!

I can understand how he may feel that way! I remember when people care about illseed…way back when! In fact, I feel like me and BOB came up together – the same school if you will. The difference is: I stopped drinking and boozing it up! These people will drive you to drink! 

Do you remember this?

That song was almost 10 years ago!!!! Where is TJ’s DJ’s when you need him!

This all started from a hoax, where some site reported that B.O.B. had died when he did. Then people started to say “RIP BOB” and then caused him to lose it! 

“You fkin’ ni99as, I fn’ hate you f#####’ ni99as!” he begins. “You ni99as ain’t support me worth a s### while I was f#ckin’ livin. And now that I’m f#ckin’ dead, you wanna talk about, ‘Oh, I love B.o.B. I love his music. I love all his s###?’ F#ck you! F#ck you, you f#ckin’ b#tch! You ain’t support sh#t! And you don’t give a f#ck about me and you don’t f#ckin’ know me.

I would put more but it’s laced with profanity!

Shepherd says on having Shaq on his song, “Having Shaq on my record is literally an unreal experience. Tag teaming with arguably one of the best basketball players of all time is unmatched! ” Shaquille O’Neal goes by many monikers, most recently, as an EDM DJ going by DJ Diesel. Shaq’s presence in pop culture hasn’t waned since he came crashing into the NBA scene in 1992. A ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ celebrity that can still be seen as host on Inside the NBA on TNT has proved his staying power across multiple facets of both sports and entertainment.
