Lauryn Hill Goes After Cousin’s Bank Accounts In Dispute Over Unpaid Loan

(AllHipHop News) Hip-Hop star Lauryn Hill is demanding immediate access to her cousin’s financial records in a bid to help her collect on an unpaid loan.

Gerald Hill was slapped with a breach of contract lawsuit last year for allegedly failing to repay a $65,000 loan he had received from the singer/rapper in 2017.

Lauryn claimed her relative had been made well aware that if he didn’t return the funds within the agreed time frame, he would be responsible for the loan, lawyers’ fees, and other costs incurred through court action, which she began pursuing when he missed his first payment.

He reportedly ignored the “Everything Is Everything” hitmaker’s lawsuit and was found guilty by default in October 2018, with a New Jersey judge ordering Gerald to repay the full amount of the loan, plus additional interest and damages.

Lauryn has since had to return to court to seek further help in forcing her cousin to obey the legal order and answer subpoenas regarding his finances, income, and assets, according to legal papers obtained by The Blast.

The case continues.

EXCLUSIVE: Feds Says Nine Trey Gangsta Blood Shooter Should Get 20 Years For Shooting Fellow Gang Member In The Neck

(AllHipHop News) A hardened gang member’s plea for leniency from a judge overseeing a RICO case involving rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine is being challenged by the Feds.

Last week, Aaron “Bat” Young submitted a letter to Judge Paul Englemayer, in hopes of avoiding a 20-year prison sentence for his role in a drug-dealing racket involving 6ix9ine and the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods.

Young presented his message to the court through his lawyer Aaron Mysliwiec, who revealed his client suffered from a variety of learning disabilities.

As a result, Young claims he was exploited by Jamel “Mel Murda” Jones, Kifano “Shotti” Jordan and other members of the gang.

“Mr. Young deeply regrets the crimes that he has committed, not just because he was caught, but because he harmed others and he let his family members down,” Mysliwiec wrote.

Lead prosecutor Geoffrey S. Berman is not buying it.

Berman has secured plea deals or convictions against rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine and the 11 members of the Nine Trey Gangsta Bloods, who were arrested and charged in November of 2018.

Aaron “Bat” Young is facing more time than anyone in the case, because he was involved in an attempted murder on January 19th, 2019.

“The defendant shot another member [Snow Billy] of Nine Trey in the back of the neck at almost point-blank range…this was a premeditated shooting, and given the close range at which the defendant shot the victim, it was a miracle that the victim did not die,” Geoffrey Berman argued.

Geoffrey Berman also doubted Aaron Young’s sincerity, due to the extreme amounts of drugs he allegedly trafficked – over 80 kilos of heroin laced with fentanyl – along with the gang’s “5 Star General” turned-cooperating-witness, Kristian Kruz.

Geoffrey Berman also implied there was not much hope for Aaron “Bat” Young to be rehabilitated.

“The defendant trafficked in large quantities of lethal drugs and shot someone in the back of the neck on a sidewalk in Brooklyn when the defendant was 37 years’ old…Given that the defendant did all of this conduct at an age when one would hope that he would have aged out of this violent behavior militates in favor of a significant term of incarceration,” Berman wrote.

Geoffrey Berman is asking Judge Englemayer to give Aaron “Bat” Young 20 years in prison when he is sentenced on December 2, 2019. 

Doja Cat & Tyga Perform ‘Juicy’ On ‘Late Night With Seth Meyers’

(AllHipHop News) On November 7, Doja Cat dropped her sophomore album Hot Pink.  The project contains a remix to “Juicy” with California rapper Tyga.

Doja and Tyga linked up on Monday to run through the single on Late Night with Seth Meyers. Their performance featured dancers wearing lemon slices on their heads. 

Gucci Mane and Smino have guest appearances on Hot Pink as well. The album debuted at #93 on the Billboard 200 chart, and “Juicy” peaked at #83 on the Hot 100 chart.

“I named the album Hot Pink because I wanted people to feel that before they got into the music that it felt passionate, warm and welcoming,” said Doja.

She continued, “I think that the color hot pink describes those things the most. It’s my favorite color and has been for my whole life, so for my second project where I’ve found myself and I’m more refined, I felt that this title was the best choice.

Deyjah Harris Unfollows T.I. In Wake Of Hymen Checkup Controversy

(AllHipHop News) Rapper T.I.’s daughter, Deyjah Harris, has unfollowed her dad on social media after he revealed she has an annual hymen check-up so he can make sure she’s still a virgin.

The 18-year-old Instagram influencer responded to the controversy following her dad’s comments on the Ladies Like Us podcast last week, liking comments on Twitter trashing the “Whatever You Like” hitmaker’s behavior as “disgusting” and “possessive.”

And now she has unfollowed T.I., real name Clifford Joseph Harris, Jr., all together in a move observers suggest indicates she is furious about both the test and her father’s podcast revelation.

T.I explained he arranges a birthday check-up every year and instructs Deyjah’s doctor to “check the hymen, please, and give me back my results expeditiously.”

Podcast hosts Nazanin Mandi and Nadia Moham have since removed the audio from the chat and issued an apology, noting they should have handled the dialogue differently at the time but were “completely caught off guard.”

T.I. has yet to comment on the matter.

Vince Staples Explains How “Yo Love” Single Was Inspired By ‘Queen & Slim’ Movie

(AllHipHop News) The star-studded Queen & Slim soundtrack will feature tunes by Ms. Lauryn Hill, Lil Baby, Syd, Mike Jones, The-Dream, Burna Boy, and other acts. EarthGang and Megan Thee Stallion already let loose tracks off the album.

West Coaster Vince Staples also contributed a song to Queen & Slim. The single arrived on Monday, and Staples was a guest on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show on Apple Music to discuss the new collaboration with Atlanta’s 6lack and Philadelphia’s Mereba.

“They were like, ‘Hey, we’re doing this movie. You got a song for it?’ I was like, ‘Yeah man, let’s watch it.’ Then we watched the movie,” recalled Staples. 

The FM! creator continued, “I seen the movie and I was like, ‘Aw man, they shot the police. That’s crazy… I can get with this because it’s not real, it’s a movie, it’s a figment of imagination. We would never encourage anyone to uprise like that in real life because we don’t need that at this point in the world, right?'”

There was a hint of sarcasm in Vince’s voice as he shared his thoughts on the Queen & Slim plot which follows Queen (Jodie Turner-Smith) and Slim (Daniel Kaluuya) as they go on the run after a police officer is killed in self-defense. The film was directed by Grammy winner Melina Matsoukas and written by Emmy winner Lena Waithe.

“I was like, ‘Man, this is crazy. This is inspiring. I should call 6lack, and that’s what happened. That’s how we got this song,” said Staples about the creation of the “Yo Love” single.

This is not the first time the Motown recording artist worked on a motion picture soundtrack. Previously, Vince Staples appeared on “Opps” with Yugen Blakrok off Black Panther: The Album.

Queen & Slim: The Soundtrack is scheduled to be released this Friday, November 15. The world premiere of Melina Matsoukas’ Queen & Slim will take place at the AFI Fest on November 14. Queen & Slim will be released in nationwide theaters on November 27.

Run The Jewels Member El-P Talks Being A White Artist In Hip Hop

(AllHipHop News) In the current political climate, conversations about race issues are hard to avoid. Hip Hop is no exception. Many followers of the culture expect white rappers to at least acknowledge the concerns of African-Americans.

Jaime “El-P” Meline was a recent guest on Talib Kweli’s People’s Party podcast. Part of the Uproxx conversation included the Run The Jewels representative discussing the relationship between his race and his profession.

“I always found it a little distasteful to talk about or to put myself in any type of light that might insinuate that there was this struggle that I had because I was white [and] I was trying to get into rap,” said El-P. 

The Brooklyn-bred producer/rapper went on to talk about how it was never his inclination to “play up” the fact that he is Caucasian. El-P explained he typically chooses not to engage questions about what it is like to be a white man in a majority-black industry, but the Company Flow founding member did express his appreciation for how Hip Hop has impacted his way of thinking.

“If I hadn’t had rap music, I don’t know, as a middle-class white kid, how long it would have taken me to be exposed to the truth. It helped in the lifting of the veil,” said El-P. “I don’t know how long it would have taken me, if I didn’t have rap music, to realize there was a whole hella a lot of bullsh*t.”

El-P teamed with Atlanta emcee Killer Mike to release the critically-acclaimed Run The Jewels album in 2013. The duo went on to drop two more studio LPs with a fourth installment in the Run The Jewels series expected to come out in 2020.

Eminem’s Rep Issues Statement On Old Lyrics About Chris Brown Assaulting Rihanna

(AllHipHop News) Eminem faced some backlash recently for an old verse that leaked to the internet. The track included Slim Shady rapping, “Of course I side with Chris Brown. I’d beat a b*tch down, too, if she gave my d*ck an itch, now.”

Many listeners interpreted those lines – reportedly recorded during Em’s Relapse sessions in 2009 – as blatantly disrespectful toward Barbadian songstress Rihanna. Chris Brown’s 2009 assault on his then-girlfriend became a major news story for years.

AEG Presents’ Chief Communications Officer Dennis Dennehy has issued a statement on Eminem’s behalf. Dennehy tells AllHipHop, “This is a leak of something that’s over 10 years old. After Eminem recorded it, he scrapped it, and rewrote it. Obviously he and Rihanna have a great relationship.”

Eminem and Rihanna collaborated on records such as “Love The Way You Lie” in 2010, “Numb” in 2012, and “The Monster” in 2013. Plus, the two music megastars co-headlined 2014’s “The Monster Tour.”

 

Pastor Jamal Bryant Blasts Kanye West’s Trump-Supporting Politics As “Indigestible”

(AllHipHop News) Jesus Is King, the Gospel-inspired LP by Kanye West, may have gotten an endorsement from the Trump family, but one Atlanta-area preacher is telling his congregation Ye’s album does not excuse his political rhetoric.

Earlier this year, Pastor Jamal Bryant had welcomed West to New Birth Missionary Baptist for a Sunday Service performance. However, Bryant offered a message from the pulpit and on his Instagram page that made it clear he does not support the Chicago-raised rhymer’s embrace of Trumpism.

A post shared by Pastor Jamal Bryant (@jamalhbryant)

Bryant wrote in the caption:

Reading in between the lines… [Kanye West’s] project is incredible but his politics are indigestible. The message after the music is just as important. Jesus is king and Trump is a jester. Our theology doesn’t match this [administration’s] politics…the revolution won’t be televised.

West admitted he did not vote for Donald Trump for president. The G.O.O.D. Music founder did begin standing next to the divisive Republican almost immediately after he was elected in 2016, and West continues to back Trump to this day.

Pastor Bryant previously announced New Birth planned to redirect Kanye West’s donation to the church to Morris Brown College. The rapper’s late mother, Donda West, was a professor at the Atlanta institution.

YK Osiris Claims Witnesses Can Prove He Didn’t Assault His Girlfriend

(AllHipHop News) Last week, YK Osiris turned himself in to Fulton County, Georgia authorities for allegedly attacking his girlfriend. He was charged with aggravated assault by strangulation for supposedly choking and biting the woman at a party in September.

Osiris is completely denying the accusations. In fact, sources close to The Golden Child creator told TMZ that YK has witnesses willing to testify on his behalf.

The website reports:

Sources close to YK tell TMZ … the allegations made by his former flame are 100 percent false, and there was never any type of assault. We’re told the singer has friends who were at the party and intend to come forward as witnesses to prove his innocence.

In addition, the artist’s lawyer went on the record to refute the allegations. Attorney Gabe Banks stated, “YK Osiris maintains his innocence and looks forward to his day in court to defend against all of the allegations against him.”

The Golden Child arrived on October 11 via Def Jam. Osiris’ debut studio album opened at #90 on the Billboard 200 chart.

(AllHipHop News) Drake’s name was trending most of the day on Monday. Social media users were reacting to the news that the OVO rapper was booed at Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw Fest

Apparently, some of the attendees were hoping the advertised surprise guest would be Tyler’s Odd Future comrade Frank Ocean. Drake was the actual headliner, and fans were not pleased. Drizzy took to Instagram to respond to the humbling experience.

“Plot twist…just signed a 10 year residency at Camp Flog Gnaw sorry kids see you EVERY SINGLE YEAR till you are 30 ,” joked Drake on IG.

Tyler also addressed the booing at his Los Angeles event on Sunday. He posted a series of tweets admitting it may have been “tone deaf” to expect that specific crowd would be excited to see Drake. The “Earfquake” performer also chastised his fans for engaging in “mob mentality” and “cancel culture.”

Tyler The Creator Says Drake Getting Booed Was “Lowkey Funny”

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Tyler, The Creator is super heated with fans who booed Drake offstage, after the rapper made a special appearance at the 2019 Camp Flog Gnaw festival.

Tyler thought inviting Drake to the stage at Los Angeles’ Dodger Stadium on Sunday night (November 10th) as part of his annual gig would be a great idea.

Drake ended up cutting short his set after finding himself facing a hostile reception because most people thought Frank Ocean was going to be the big surprise for Camp Flog Gnaw.

Tyler has discussed the fan’s resentment in a series of Twitter posts and even admitted Drake wasn’t the best choice for his fans at Camp Flog Gnaw.

“I THOUGHT BRINGING ONE OF THE BIGGEST ARTIST ON THE F**KING PLANET TO A MUSIC FESTIVAL WAS FIRE!” he began. “BUT FLIPSIDE, A LIL TONE DEAF KNOWING THE SPECIFIC CROWD IT DREW (sic).”

The “Odd Future” star then turned on the few crowd members who had behaved badly after realizing Ocean wasn’t going to appear: “SOME CREATED A NARRATIVE IN THEIR HEAD AND ACTED OUT LIKE A##HOLES WHEN IT DIDNT COME TRUE AND I DONT F##K WITH THAT),” he raged.

Other artists to perform at this year’s Camp Flog Gnaw included YG, DaBaby, A$AP Rocky, and Lil Uzi Vert.

Lil Reese Reportedly Shot In Chicago; Rapper In “Grave” Condition

(AllHipHop News) Rapper Lil Reese was reportedly shot in Chicago earlier today (November 11th).

Reese, real name Tavares Taylor, was shot on 167th Street and Pulaski Road earlier this afternoon cops confirmed. 

Witnesses said the wounded rapper was taken out of a vehicle that was riddled with bullets.

Reese was taken to a local hospital to be treated for a gunshot wound to the neck and is in grave condition.

The police say they are looking for a white or grey Chevy Malibu with Wisconsin license plates, which chased down the rapper in traffic, before firing into the vehicle with a small rifle. 

The 28-year-old Drill rapper shot to fame after his appearance on Chief Keef’s breakout 2012 single “I Don’t Like.”

Lil Reese has worked with a variety of artists throughout his career, including Freddie Gibbs, Juelz Santana, Lil Durk, Fredo Santana, Lil Durk, and others.

Just a few days ago, Lil Reese dropped a new music video for his song “Get Back Mood Part 2.”

Lil Durk commented on the situation, but did not offer any more information about Lil Reese’s status. 

Rapper Dark Lo Charged With Tampering With A Witness over AR-AB Drug Trial

(AllHipHop News) Philly rapper Dark Lo remains incarcerated, over claims he attempted to intimidate a witness during a federal drug trial.

Dark Lo is an artist on AR-AB’s Philadelphia-based OBH Records imprint.

In October of 2018, AR-AB, who is the CEO of the label, was indicted for running a massive drug operation in the city.

Last week, Dark Lo sat in on AB’s trial as it kicked off.

According to reps for Dark Lo, a cooperating witness was uncomfortable with his presence in the courtroom, because he felt threatened.

“After three days of being in the court-room to support his best friend, fellow rapper AR-AB, Dark Lo was approached by Federal Agents and told a government witness did not feel comfortable testifying with him in the courtroom,” a representative for Dark Lo explained.

The cooperating witnesses’ reluctance to testify with Dark Lo present set off an investigation.

“Federal Agents presented “a search warrant looking for any correspondence and communication Dark Lo may have had with the government witness prior to his testimony,” according to Dark Lo’s rep.

The Feds locked up the rapper on November 7th for tampering with a confidential informant.

“We are confident that Dark Lo will be exonerated of all the charges levied against him and he appreciates all of the prayers and support he has received during this very trying time,” his representative said.

Dark Lo remains incarcerated as of today (November 11th).

Kanye West Already Has Competition In 2024 Bid For The White House

(AllHipHop News) The 2024 presidential election could be more entertaining than anyone could have imagined.

Kanye West recently announced he would be running, possibly under his new name “Christian Genius Billionaire Kanye West.”

Now, another well-known personality says he will throw his hat in the ring to run against Kanye.

Dan Bilzerian says he will make a bid for the White House against Kanye West in 2024.

“I think he’s going to be running against me. We’ll see,” Dan Bilzerian told TMZ.com.

Dan Bilzerian could end up being a formidable candidate against Kanye West.

The celebrity bachelor/poker player has over 29 million followers on Instagram alone, while Kanye doesn’t have any since he deleted his account.

Kanye does have 29 million on Twitter, while his wife Kim Kardashian has over 250 million between both platforms.

Dan Bilzerian is well known for his extravagant lifestyle and outrageous stunts, as well as running for president in the 2016 election.

Although he is popular, it is s doubtful he could beat someone as widely as famous as Kanye West. 

Biggie Smalls And Faith Got High With Whitney Houston And Bobby Brown

(AllHipHop News) Faith Evans used to “smoke joints” with Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown.

The “I’ll Be Missing” You hitmaker and her late husband, rapper The Notorious B.I.G., used to live in the same housing complex as the tragic singer and her then-husband, and she reveals they used to party together.

“Whitney and Bobby (Brown) used to live in the same country club as me and my ex-husband and one day they came to our house,” Evans told the New York Post’s Page Six. “We were drinking wine, smoking joints, and they had this thing where they (would) dance and curse at each other.”

“(Houston) looked at me and said, ‘Faith we got to do a reality show,’ and I said, ‘Girl y’all just did the first episode right here’,” she added.

After Evans’ husband was murdered in 1997, Faith and the late “I Will Always Love You” hitmaker became closer.

“We started really hanging out when Biggie passed away,” she added. “One of the first places she invited me was Donatella Versace’s house in ’97…I was like, ‘Girl I don’t have no outfit.’ So she brought me one… It was a dinner party… and men with no shirts (were) serving platters.”

EXCLUSIVE: Coach K On Representing For QC & ATL At Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta

(AllHipHop Features) The undeniable success of Atlanta’s Quality Control Music follows in the tradition of iconic imprints such as Death Row, Bad Boy, No Limit, Cash Money, and Roc-A-Fella; Hip Hop record companies that defined an era and provided the soundtrack for millions of people’s lives.

Quality Control co-founder Kevin “Coach K” Lee studied Roc-A-Fella’s moves prior to him and Pierre “Pee” Thomas launching the brand that would come to be known as QC The Label. After initially drawing business inspiration from the Roc’s Shawn “Jay-Z” Carter, Damon “Dame” Dash, and Kareem “Biggs” Burke, Coach K was ready to share some of his own jewels to the next generation.

On November 8, hundreds of music industry hopefuls packed into the Plaza Theatre for the Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta in order to receive a gameplan from Coach K. The Indianapolis, Indiana native sat down with moderator Christina Lee to reflect on his come up and career accomplishments. 

[ALSO READ: 8 Takeaways From Red Bull Music Festival Atlanta’s Trap Roundtable Discussion]

“They hit me and said they were coming to Atlanta to do a whole experience in Atlanta. I feel like it was my duty – especially with everything we did here in the city – that I needed to go up there and represent for our company, Quality Control,” explained Coach K in a backstage interview with AllHipHop.

The Red Bull Music Fest Atlanta conversation began with Lee diving into his childhood which included having a mother and grandmother who both worked at an RCA pressing plant. That unique origin story molded his love for music. It was even the catalyst for a young Kevin to create his own “mixtapes of hits” by recording tunes off the radio.

According to Coach K, his official conversion from amateur deejay to music insider was the result of getting shot during his senior year at Saint Augustine’s University. Lee, whose early devotion was to basketball, saw his hoop dreams be deferred. Following a months-long recovery in the hospital, the determined stalwart decided to unite with some of his buddies back in Indy to form a label called Universal Stars.

Eventually, Coach K would move to Atlanta to link with childhood friend Alan Henderson, the former Indiana University forward that was drafted by the Atlanta Hawks in 1995. Lee worked with Henderson to establish the Hendu Entertainment record label based in the Georgia capital.

The Hendu situation didn’t pan out for Lee, but the then-A&R executive would recover by ultimately becoming a manager in the 2000s for two future Atlanta rap legends: Young Jeezy and Gucci Mane. Fast forward to 2019, Coach K and Pee are now domineering the charts and the streets thanks to Quality Control acts like Migos, Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, City Girls, and Stefflon Don.

Coach acknowledges that it wasn’t always a “kumbaya vibe” as he was climbing the ranks, and he sensed the urgency to take the reigns for himself in order to find success. The QC COO says, “When I was coming up in the game, it was very few people I could go to. It was very few. I was kind of stubborn, so I felt like I could do it myself. I was one of those guys that just go out there and do it.”

Now that he clearly has the knowhow to turn underground performers into Billboard regulars (the platinum-selling City Girls reportedly only had one song before signing to Quality Control), Coach K doesn’t want to just keep the strategic moves close to his chest. However, the economics major warns there aren’t any enchanted beans that will marvelously grow into a gigantic beanstalk towards the sky. Commitment is the key.

“I think a lot of these kids come in and they expect to hear something magical,” answered Coach K when I asked him if there was one piece of info he hoped people took from his Red Bull Music Fest discussion. “I’ve been in the game for 22 years. The best I can give them is to stick your head down and put the work in. It’s nothing that’s going to come easy, and you don’t know when it’s going to come. But if it’s a passion, if it’s something you believe in, then just don’t give up on it.”

To be clear, Coach K did offer more specific science at RBMF that night. For example, he broke down how popular strip club dancers are not just entertaining their customers but they are also helping to determine which songs are going to be next to break. So a local up-and-coming rapper who wants to see their name on festival lineups one day should probably build relationships with the topliners at Magic City, Follies, and Blue Flame.

Coach K called strippers “some of the dopest A&Rs” in the business. Inclusion on a particular exotic dancer’s playlist at the gentlemen’s club could be the difference between an artist making music for their friends and making music for the masses. It also probably explains why QC-affiliated superstar Cardi B (a former New York City stripper) has an ear for smash records such as “Bodak Yellow,” “I Like It,” and “Money.”

There was also a section at RBMF where Coach K pointed out how – unlike modern major labels that are obviously playing a quick streaming numbers game – Quality Control doesn’t avoid investing in long-term artist development. In his view, QC is about forging individuals into brands that will last beyond the general public’s inevitable move on to the next hot new musician. As Coach puts it, every recording artist has an expiration date.

Quality Control’s takeover of the musical landscape is not nearly complete. The company is laying the groundwork for Layton Green, Marlo, Kollision, 24Heavy, and other roster members to come off the bench. Additionally, Coach K divulged his team’s scheme to construct a multi-media infrastructure in Atlanta. A forthcoming facility will be home to music, film, television, and podcast projects. Plus, QC hopes to employ a few hundred people at the site.

Before departing the Plaza Theatre on Friday, Coach K took questions from the audience. Christina Lee instructed the attendees to avoid using their time to solicit opportunities from the mogul, but of course, that did not stop would-be Kevin Lee mentees from taking their shots.

Instead of going Dikembe Mutombo on the rule-breakers, Coach K just referred them to his co-worker named Amber who was sitting in the middle section of the venue. Every time someone even veered in the direction of an unrequested proposition, both Lees on the stage started responding with “Amber alert.” Not to dismiss the person, but to genuinely present a potential alley-oop for both parties to score in the future.

“In this business, a lot of people are closed off in their own world. I actually care. I think that’s one of the blessings for why I’m able to stay in it,” professed Coach K as we conversed in a dressing room. The Culture Creators’ 2019 “Innovators and Leaders” award recipient continued, “If I connect with the youth, it keeps me young. I’m building allies. I can go get information from the young brothers. Cause I’m still learning. I don’t know it all. This music business is always in transition, so I’m constantly trying to learn.”

Did Kanye West Give Desiigner “Free”? He May Be Off G.O.O.D. Music!

(AllHipHop Rumors) They say be careful what you ask for! But I think Desiigner is getting exactly what he wanted here. If you have been here with the rumors you know that we have been covering it since the discontent started. Desii has wanted to be off the plantation of Kanye for quite some time! Recently he tweeted the following:

“Feels Good To Be Free! 

New Visual Out Tomorrow!

Everybody RePost & HashTag #DesiignerFree

Doesn’t this say he’s finished with his former team? It sure does to me. I have to say Desiigner DE-leted this after posting it. Perhaps he realizes he said too much or that he was rubbing it in the face of his adversaries, which are very powerful people. If Yeezus was being beneficent, I guess Dee should let it be and keep it moving. 

Moving right along, the Brooklyn rapper with a Future flair has a new song and it sounds like a legit hit! Give it a listen!

Now, Desiigner reportedly has an album in the tuck, where has a bevy of features. It recently leaked, but was deleted from the internet before I could listen. But, the album looks pretty epic. The album reportedly includes Yo Gotti, Takeoff, King Los, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss, Rich The Kid, Madeintyo, French Montana, Swae Lee, Quavo, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, The-Dream, Jeremih, and PARTYNEXTDOOR. That’s a smorgasbord! 

On top of it all, that “album” was allegedly titled “F#ck G.O.O.D. Music”…before it was removed. I really don’t know, but I am thinking that this may be more trouble than it is worth for Kanye, who is presently making more money than Jay-Z with this Christian genius gobbledygook. 

I know Desiigner is excited!

Get out there and do  it for Brooklyn, brother!

YES!
