(AllHipHop News) The “Bad Boys 3” release date has been pushed back until early 2018.

The third installment of the Will Smith and Martin Lawrence franchise was due to hit cinemas from June 2017, but has now been pushed back to January 2018.

Sony just recently announced the release date shake-up, as well the film’s official title; “Bad Boys for Life.”

The original two movies, “Bad Boys” and “Bad Boys II,” released in 1995 and 2003 respectively, were both helmed by Michael Bay, but it’s rumored Joe Carnahan will be taking over for the third chapter.

However, IMDB has already added details of “Bad Boys 4,” with Michael attached to produce.

“Bad Boys” follows detectives Mike Lowrey (Will) and Marcus Burnett (Martin) as they investigate drug-related crimes.

Sony insiders say there will be additional casting announced soon, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

It wasn’t known if Will, who’s currently gracing theaters in “Suicide Squad,”!would definitely return to the franchise, but he confirmed the news earlier this year in a chat with BBC Radio 1 Xtra.

“I saw Martin a few weeks ago. I haven’t seen him in about two years. We looked at each other. We hugged. In that moment, we knew we were making another ‘Bad Boys’. We’re definitely doing another one,” he told delighted listeners.

Martin shared the news that another Bad Boys flick had been given the green light during an appearance on Conan in 2014.

Talking to host Conan O’Brien, Martin explained how mega producer Jerry Bruckheimer was fully on board.

“I just talked to Jerry Bruckheimer yesterday and he said it’s real, they’re working on the script, they’re getting close, and it all looks good,” he said.

Martin hasn’t been seen on the big screen since 2011’s “Big Mommas: Like Father, Like Son,” working instead in TV.

Drake’s dad, Dennis Graham, has the internet going crazy with the release of his new single, “Kinda Crazy,” and the announcement of his forthcoming R&B album.

Although Papa Drake was a musician long before the 6 God, the announcement still came as a surprise to most. His musical ambition didn’t come out of left field as he used to play the drums for Jerry Lee Lewis, with a long time aspiration of having his own musical career.

Dennis enlisted the help of Jimmy Iovine’s son, Jamie Iovine, to produce the forthcoming album. Dennis also just released the single and accompanying visual for “Kinda Crazy.”

Dennis said he didn’t originally plan on putting out an album, but due to the great response he got for the clip he put out, he has to keep going. He also revealed that now that he’s somewhat “established” himself, a collaboration between him and his son could be on the way.

Drake is reportedly happy for his father and believes he’s a star! Apparently Dennis has no plans on taking on the rap game like his son. He instead wants to put out a classic R&B album. Will you be listening? What are your thoughts on “Kinda Crazy?”

With his distinct voice, lyrical diversity, creativity and originality, Kassan “Kazzie” Sherman definitely has next up. A Newark, NJ native, Kazzie grew up on Brick City’s 19th street.

That street also produced the likes of Redman. As a result, Kazzie grew up seeing Red, Method Man and Erick Sermon battling on the block and it was there that he realized that he wanted to do the same.

Kazzie received his first taste of success at the age of 19 with his smash hit “We Don’t F*ck With That” featuring Waka Flocka. That hit caught the attention of E1 Records who later signed him.

After parting ways with E1 Records, Kazzie went on to sign a production deal with music executive Malcolm Miles, CEO of Dreams Comes True Music Group. Since signing with DCT Music Group, Kazzie has released the highly successful banger “Rodeo” featuring the “Trap Queen” emcee, Fetty Wap and Mr. Wonder, which generated over 2.5 million Soundcloud plays.

Kazzie keeps the momentum going by following up with his new track “Throw Some Money” featuring Brooklyn’s Hustle Hard representative Maino with production by platinum producer Cash Money AP.

Future Claims He Has Gone To The Studio Every Day For The Past Five Years

Future Hendrix wants you to know that although his mother named his Nayvadius, he’s Future Hendrix the rockstar!

MTV caught up with the fan-favorite rapper for a documentary as he was gearing up for his ‘Summer Sixteen’ tour wit Drake.

It’s obvious that Future drops a lot of music back to back, and many rappers wish they could heat up like Future and his wave.

Future revealed to MTV that he has been going to the studio everyday for 5 years. When asked why he works so hard and harder than everyone else he says,

“Because I know I’m going to be worth more than them at the end of the day. I might not be there now, but once my work catch up to my worth, I’m going to be a billionaire.”

Future has certainly had one hell of a year and one hell of a run with the release of ‘Purple Reign,’ ‘EVOL,’ and ‘E.T.’ MTV was able to get Future to open up about his insane work ethic as well as his motivations.

Future’s advice to his fans was for them to take from him the things that they like from him and don’t make the same mistakes that he did.

Future has released 3 No.1 albums in less than 7 months, and 7 projects since 2015. He’s certainly made some sacrifices to chase his musical dreams, and now he’s considering taking some time off soon. Future reveals that he stays in the studio so much and goes so hard because he wants to make sure his family is always taken care of.

At the end of the day, Future believes that his brand is authentic, and it has grown organically. Interestingly enough, many argue that it’s not so much that Future is “great” as it is that he has a solid work ethic, puts out “fun” music to get his fans hype, a solid production team, and a crazy fan base.
