Company CEO Anthony “Top Dawg” Tiffith revealed on Instagram that TDE is planning to release projects this year from Kendrick, Schoolboy Q, SZA, Isaiah Rashad, Ab-Soul, and Jay Rock. Even more surprisingly, it appears the label has signed two new unknown acts.

Tiffith already announced Schoolboy’s next album will arrive before the summer. Plus, the white board in the IG photo suggests Q, K. Dot, Soulo, and Rock could finally unite for a long-awaited Black Hippy album in 2017.

Back in 2013, Tiffith also promised to drop 6 TDE projects the following year. But the label only released Schoolboy Q’s Oxymoron, Ab-Soul’s These Days…, Isaiah Rashad’s Cilvia Demo, and SZA’s Z in 2014. To Pimp A Butterfly by Kendrick Lamar and 90059 by Jay Rock both hit stores a year later.

Troy Ave Releases Joey Bada$$ Diss Track “Bad Ass” (AUDIO)

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) It’s Brooklyn vs Brooklyn. Troy Ave has taken his issues with Joey Bada$$ to wax. Last July, the two rappers exchanges messages on Twitter about which NYC native was the top independent artist in Hip Hop. Now Troy has released a diss record aimed at Joey titled “Bad Ass.”

Apparently, Troy was sparked to fire lyrics at Joey because the Pro Era member mentioned him on the “Ready” record. Joey rapped, “My n*gga Kirk just out sold Troy Ave.”

Troy Ave faced tremendous bad press and social media ridicule after his Major Without A Deal album reportedly only sold around 7,000 copies in its first full week of release. In comparison, Joey’s B4.DA.$$ moved over 53,000 (57,000 SPS) copies in its first week [editor’s note: official sales numbers for Kirk Knight’s Late Knight Special could not be determined].

In response, Troy spits, “You sold a couple records, but nobody cares. You’re never on the radio, because nobody cares. You don’t matter, so you’re mad bruh. Nobody cares. Just an internet rapper. Nobody cares.”

New Documents Show 50 Cent Isn’t Broke

By: Camille Jay (@CamilleJay_)Category: News

50 Cent’s financial situation seems to be all over the place lately.  However, documents surfaced today by the Daily Mail, that 50 cent’s assets and finances are much higher than he claimed.

When filing for bankruptcy a while back, the Queens native claimed assets ranging from $16-$50 million.  In these new documents, appraisers say 50 cent actually has more than $64 million in property and assets, which is a big difference from the $16 million he was claiming.  The G-Unit rapper does have liabilities totally more than $36 million though and also has $10 million in checking and stock. His G-Unit company as well as other business ventures are reportedly worth more than $44 million.

According to the appraisal, 50 Cent’s monthly income is about $184,000. He also makes a reported $29,000 every month off music royalties. Now add up all the cars, jewelry and other material assets and 50 probably has well over the bankruptcy amount.

50’s bankruptcy case had challenges of its own after he posted photos of himself with stacks of money.  He also posted a photo spelling out the word “broke” with stacks of $100 bills.

So 50 needs to decide whether he wants to stick with the bankruptcy role or the flossin role, because clearly he can’t be both.

“If you miss the old Kanye West you can buy his old albums, or if you’re J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League you can hit the studio and throw some music under Yeezy’s “I Love Kanye” acapella from his new The Life of Pablo album.

“It wasn’t just about making a beat, because that’s not what J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League does. We aren’t beat makers,” says Rook, who is 1/3 of JL. “We wanted to take Kanye’s verse and make it into a full-blown song. You’re welcome, now go to luxurysoundsociety.com and cop our new album J.U.S.T.I.C.E. For All.”

Fight The Power: Chuck D On 2016 Oscars, Issues Challenge To Hip-Hop

By: Niki Gatewood (@THE_NikiG)Category: News

(AllHipHop News) According to Lord Acton, “absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Several prominent celebrities have taken issue with the lack of ethnic diversity that was nominated at this year’s Oscar awards. Hosted by the astute, Chirs Rock, the comedian’s opening monologue included the powerful lyricism of Public Enemy’s classic track, “Fight The Power.”

Chuck D’s cathartic pen wrote most of the classic track’s lyrics. While using his official Twitter, the social advocate appealed to the masses to champion the arts as much as athletics. Emphatic in in eloquence, the PE front man challenged people to reinforce their words with resounding action.

“The song FightThe Power is beyond me & the crew. The point of the song is a call to making change eventually not just applauding the thought,” he wrote. The legendary lyricist continued to provoke thought.

“Oscars are like a TRADE show,” he tweeted. “If you ain’t in that business why should you care? It’s like winter baseball meetings, how many care about that.”

Donald Trump’s Dad Was In The KKK?

By: Jake CratesCategory: Rumors

So if you weren’t already voting Democrat this year, let this be a perfect example of how Donald Trump is the wrong candidate for minority voters. In this scathing interview with CNN, Trump says he doesn’t know anything about the KKK and Grand Wizard David Duke who recently co-signed Trump.

What’s more is articles and documents are surfacing that Trump’s dad was an active member of the KKK based on a Queens, NY arrest that took place back in 1927. Check the image below of the rally that website Boing Boing uncovered.

Donald Trump

To add to flames to the fire, Republicans like Rubio feel he is completely hijacking the Republican political party as a con artist. At this point if the Republican’s don’t want him, he will run independent which would be good for either Hillary or Bernie, so the GOP is pretty much running a dead race if Trump leaves.

“I don’t know anything about David Duke, okay. I don’t know anything about what you’re even talking about with white supremacy or white supremacists. I don’t know, did he endorse me? Or what’s going on. Because I know nothing about David Duke. I know nothing about white supremacists.”
