Matthew Skyy- ‘Divergent Mixtape’ + “7AM” Video

Indie artist Matthew Skyy is on a mission to the change the game. The New Jersey bred Atlanta native makes his stance with the release of his debut mixtape ‘Divergent,’ inspired by the movie of the same name.

Matthew Skyy was born in Jersey City, New Jersey as the youngest of 6 children from a first generation Haitian household. Skyy’s father passed away at age 4, and his family relocated to Atlanta, where he has formulated his artistry and passion for music through adversity.

“All of the things I’ve been through have helped me to write music through my emotions. Being a hybrid rapper & singer, I have found my own sound…a sound that sounds futuristic. My sound is universal,” says Matthew.

In a time where music is watered down, Matthew is bringing a new wave to the music industry. He plans to create a new sound instead of following the trend. A lot of Matthew’s songs pull from his experiences with females or from his experiences in life in general. He intended to take listeners on an emotional roller coaster with the project.

“I feel like my music stands apart from others, and in the movie the main character was different from others and saw the world from a different view than most. I feel like in this generation people are scared to be themselves so they resort to being followers and conformists. There are too many clones. I feel ‘Divergent’ is the music that will allow people to be themselves. Whether you’re weird or awkward, you will embrace who you are as a person and bless the world with your unique soul.”

Take a listen to the the mixtape and check out the music video for “7AM” below!

Diddy Stands Accused Of Paying To Have Tupac Murdered!?!

Photo Credit: Instagram

In the knowledgeable words of dead prez, “It’s bigger than Hip-Hop.” The lingering unsolved murders of Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. continue to haunt Hip-Hop. Collectively, the impact of these men’s actions both inside and outside the booth have transcended the genre.

Back in ’96 on Sep. 13, Hip-Hop lost arguably one of its best MCs. An upcoming documentary, which delves into the sordid events leading to and after ‘Pac’s untimely demise, a person is named as the culprit to his murder. It has been alleged that none other than Sean “Diddy” Combs paid a measly $1M to facilitate the murder. The mogul has continually and steadfastly denied any role in the rapper’s death.

Even though 20 years has passed familiar accusations have again surfaced. Retired LAPD officer, Greg Kading, was instrumental in leading the task force which investigated Mr. Shakur’s murder. He contends that Duane Keith “Keffe D” Davis, a former Crip received the cash to kill the legendary lyricist and his manager Suge Knight, this according to Huff Post.

Eventually, Davis would turn state’s-evidence and give information into the heinous crime. After the snitch session, Davis gave up Orlando “Baby Lane” Anderson — his own nephew — as the person responsible for killing Tupac. Since Suge survived the assassination-attempt, it has been alleged that paid only $13,000 to have Biggie murdered. Wardell “Pooch” Fouse has been named as the person responsible for killing B.I.G.

“If his intention was to just get away with it, so to speak, it would have been very easy for him to not include all the details that he did,” claimed the retired officer. To further bolster his accusations, Kading offered, “”I am very, very confident in the case. I’m confident in the evidence. I have absolute closure in the case already. There is no doubt in my mind that we’ve discovered the truth and we’re presenting the truth. So as far as the murders go, they’re solved.”

(AllHipHop News) Suge Knight has been incarcerated for the alleged murder Terry Carter. The former Death Row CEO faces charges involving the hit-and-run incident which injured actor, Cle “Bone” Sloan. While visiting the set of the historic N.W.A. biopic, Straight Outta Compton, Knight’s life would head down this collision course.

Last Friday (Jan. 29), from the urging of the sheriff’s investigators, L.A. Superior Court Jude William C. Ryan, ruled that Knight can no longer receive phone calls or visitors, as reported by the Associated Press.  Revealing court documents reflect that Suge can only get visits from his lawyers during regularly scheduled hours of visitation.

The friend of Fox News would delver deeper into the America’s embedded race issue.

“But I say, BRAVO! I’m sick and tired of being told “Sorry, Stacey, this is a Caucasian-only role.”  Counterintuitively, this decision by Hollywood — which looks like a diss to blacks — is actually what we’ve been saying all along: roles should NOT be based on color,” she wrote.

The daring Dash would then try to make a correlation between the popular broadway play, Hamilton. The Hip-Hop infused play has earned financial success for its Black and Latino thespians. Although Mr. Obama has been America’s president of color, given the cast’s ethnic diversity, Stacey claims Hollywood and the Arts are making progress.

Dash then added, “I don’t care about the race of the actors portraying historical figures and I can’t wait to see Joseph’s portrayal of Jackson… It’ll be amazing as long as he plays him truthfully and authentically.”

Figuring out who this could be would be a difficult task as everyone in Atlanta is a rapper. The 4’3 star finally revealed that her and Pastor Troy dated for about 8 months, despite the fact that no one close to her ever saw them together. In post and delete files, PT posted a photo of them together with the caption,

“ShortestRelationshipInHistoy #SheHadAShortFuse.”

Pastor Troy is all about the short jokes, so we can’t even make out if they were really together. If they were actually an item, the height difference certainly caught us off guard. Ladies and fellas, do you have a type? Can height difference be a deal breaker?
