It seems like Soulja Boy has had quite a few ups and downs in his career. Most of the “downs” seem to stem from his tumultuous relationships and rumored drug use. Soulja Boy seems to have posted a cryptic message as well as a cry for help on his Snap Chat as he posted,
“I’m going to die soon. I enjoyed my life.”
Is Soulja just saying we all die eventually and happens to be reflecting, or is he suffering from some mental health issues? We hope he is not suicidal.

While Rihanna has been linked to a few high profile men lately, it really seems like her and her rumored boo Travis Scott are going strong. Rihanna has been spotted at several of his shows and after parties getting cozy with Scott, leading everyone to believe they are more than just friends. Last month she attended all three of his NYC Gramercy Theatre shows, and the two were seen dancing and getting close at a club. The two have been spotted once again allegedly kissing and making out in a club in Paris. We still wonder if they are just really good friends….. with benefits. Scott did almost blush when asked about Ri though! Who wouldn’t want RiRi?
Having their roots in Providence RI, the rap group ‘100 PROOF’ is nothing new to the music industry. The group has shared the stage with a eclectic group of artists both legends from the past (50 Cent, Wu-Tang, Mobb Deep) as well as more current mainstream artist (Lil Durk, Slaughterhouse, Ab-Soul) throughout their time. Their new single “No More”, 100 PROOF collaborated with distinguished rap artist Red Cafe to bring true hip hop. Watch their latest video below!

With the recent announcement of his new album Empire, Master P gives fans a taste of his anticipated album and drops new single “Freaky” produced by BlaqNMild. This track is definitely a club banger with that New Orleans 808 party sound! New album drops November 28th. Listen below and lets us know you thoughts on Master P’s new track!
In a world where artists are paid to talk, it’s amazing how many rappers have made a career out of holding their tongues. For a bunch of guys who make their living being heard, the term “no comment” seems to come through more often than the truth.
As promised, Ty Dolla $ign releases his new mixtape “Airplane Mode”. Featuring 10 new tracks and production from frequent collaborator DJ Mustard, Mike Will Made-It, DJ Spinz & more. Pre-order Ty’s debut album “Free TC” dropping November 13th now on iTunes!
Platinum recording artist Mark Morrison releases the Official Remix to his anthem “B’Day”, which sees the British R&B star team with rising Interscope Records singer Wash who is fresh off his debut hit single “Can’t Trust Thots”, Houston rapper Chedda Da Connect who has been enjoying the success of his certified gold single “Flicka Da Wrist” which continues to be a phenomenon this year, and Jamaican reggae crooner Christopher Martin.
Mark Morrison, who shot to fame almost 20 years ago, in 1996, with his multi-platinum number one single “Return of the Mack”, has linked with Adrian Swish of Tha Alumni Music Group to not only release the remix, but also an EP containing new material, which will be released soon.
Legendary hip-hop group 8Ball & MJG must have a great ear for talent! Their new artist P-Nyce’s new mixtape “Calm Before The Storm” is nothing less than lyrical and melodic bliss. P-Nyce rips through hard hitting beats with effortless ease, then switches it up with soothing melody in a single breath. You can tell the new MC feels right at home in the studio mastering his craft. Looks like the living legends may have a future legend on the roster. The push management artist is definitely one to watch, seeing that this is just a prequel to his highly anticipated “Ratchet and Blues” project dropping in the near future.
After bodies were found at a dispensary in Los Angeles, Chief Keef’s name came up on the local news broadcast, but since then he has denied any involvement in the situation. Ignoring the rumors Chief Keef and Fredo Santana’s are steady at work on their Blood Thicker Than Water tape coming up soon. You can check out the track “Plottin” here.
Even at the age of 15, Kyle Lucas knew what he wanted to spend the rest of his life doing. The Atlanta area native took inspiration from Jay Z, Nas, AZ, The Firm, Chino XL, Ras Kass, and The Notorious B.I.G. as he recorded and mixed himself freestyling using Cakewalk on a home computer.
Hometown legends OutKast and Goodie Mob as well as his city’s traditional 808s-heavy sound also rubbed off on Lucas. Eventually, the self-described “skateboard kid” was even able to connect with one of his musical heroes – OutKast’s Big Boi.
Lucas signed with Big Boi’s Purple Ribbon label as a member of the alternative Hip Hop band Vonnegutt. Once the group disbanded, he decided to embark on his music career as an independent artist. However, the rhymer looks back at his time working with the Grammy-winning emcee as a valuable experience (“I’m forever grateful that Big even took a chance on me. I learned so much being signed to him.”)
The amicable split with Purple Ribbon is just one topic Lucas covers on his debut studio LP Marietta, Georgia: The Album. Chino XL, Jonny Craig, Jon Kunis, William Beckett, Little Lion, STS, Weather, and Marc Goone make appearances on the project as well.
In the latest installment of AllHipHop.com’s “3 Questions” series, Kyle Lucas discusses how Drake forced him to change the name of track 2 off Marietta, recalls a stage dive gone bad, and names which Atlanta R&B star is the best wifey material.
Why did you let Drake steal your song title?
[laughs] That title came about because the first song I did for this album – like a year and a half ago – was called “Madonna.” Then Drake drops the biggest album of the year [If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late] with a song called “Madonna” on it. I was racking my brain to come up with another title for like 3 months.
I’m a fan of Fall Out Boy’s song titles that are really long, especially “Our Lawyer Made Us Change The Name Of This Song So We Wouldn’t Get Sued.” Then I was on tour with OnCue. We were talking about the “Madonna” title, and I said it would be cool to do something like that for it. Cuey came up with that and I loved it. I think it’s pretty funny.
What’s one of the wildest things you’ve done while you were drunk?
Oh man, way too many to name. One very funny thing was that I decided to stage dive at this Lollapalooza pre-party I played with Sammy Adams. I had never stage dove, and I was super stoked on how well my show went. But I was also super drunk, so I decided to stage dive during Sammy’s set and didn’t factor in the majority of the fans there were 15-year-old girls [laughs].
Here I am a 6’2’’ 200 lb guy jumping on them and expecting them to catch me. Needless to say, they dropped the sh*t out of me and f*cked my whole back up. I spent all Saturday in bed in the hotel and my official Lollapalooza performance was scheduled for Sunday afternoon. It worked out though. A couple of Jack and Coke’s and I was on my way [laughs].
F*ck, marry, collab: Monica, Ciara & Chilli of TLC?
Damn, that’s hard. I’m in love with all of them. I feel I would f*ck Ciara, collaborate with Monica, and marry Chilli. Chilli seems like she would be an awesome wife/mother.

Gillie Da Kid returns to the scene with riveting visual “Earned It” to usher in his new album “Welcome 2 Gilladelphia” (W2G). With #W2G set to release October 23rd Philly rapper promises fans he will be dropping music every day until then.
Following his well acclaimed project “KOP3”, The King of Philly is set to team up with the King of The South, Boosie Bad Ass on his sophomore album.
Tyler Thomas has a dream “Bigger than his ego span.” A line from one of his favorite songs on his EP called “Back Again” The Los Angeles native has newly released an EP called “Birds I View” and a clean new visual for “Lincoln Park”. We got the chance to discuss his project before release and get an exclusive freestyle. How could you not root for this unshakeable artist? The Freestyle was like a Busta Rhymes inspired flow. Not to mention he has been an influence in this artist life, along with Tribe called Quest, Big L, Pun and Dj Quik. Another favorite song off the EP is called “Young N####” which has a dope concept and visuals for this song coming soon.
What inspired you to make this project?
I released this project because I don’t want to come out with sporadic songs here and there. I used to do that a lot, this time I wanted the whole project to be released with visuals and be more consistent with my work.
What advice do you have for upcoming artist trying to breakthrough in this industry?
Find something you want to talk about and make sure it’s not about yourself. People tend to get in their own way and get writers block. Find a message and spread it.
Tyler Thomas “make It Go”
What’s your process like in the studio?
There’s really no process. I’m always rapping constantly in my head or writing something down. We can be in the studio and someone is playing around on the keyboard or drums and i just start spitting. It doesn’t stop for me.
Who are some West Coast artist you would like to work with?
I would like to work with Nipsey Hustle, Kehlani she has the whole TLC vibe, Dom Kennedy and I would really like to work with DJ Quik. That would be super dope!

Nudity has always been Playboy magazine’s signature but since everything of a sexual nature is easily accessible thanks to the internet, the mag has decided to make a major change. Starting in the spring, they are no longer publishing nude photos, the New York Times reports.
“That battle has been fought and won,” said Scott Flanders, the company’s chief executive. “You’re now one click away from every sex act imaginable for free. And so it’s just passé at this juncture.”
This move is part of a redesign that will also be unveiled next spring. Playboy will still publish images of women in provocative poses and will still feature its Playmate of the Month but the pictures will be more “PG-13.”
