Vince Staples Offers Support For North Long Beach Youth Program

(AllHipHop News) Vince Staples is giving back to his hometown. The California rapper is part of a group supporting a new Youth Institute in North Long Beach.

According to the Long Beach Press-Telegram, the “Norf Norf” performer donated to the YMCA program designed to help eighth and ninth grade students learn filmmaking, graphic design, music production, 3D printing and product design.

“I think the most important thing is opportunities,” said Staples. “What I can say is, living over here my entire life, I’ve never had an opportunity given to me from the area, only examples of how to mess up, and what I didn’t want to do.”

City officials have allocated $10,000 for the initiative. Long Beach Unified board member Megan Kerr insisted the Youth Institute will highlight STEM education as well as social and emotional learning.

“It’s important that we work together to support and educate our young people on being good citizens, as well as providing a safe space for them to thrive,” added Kerr.

August Alsina’s Former Producer Puts Him On Blast

Over the years August Alsina has been put on blast by those close to him for allegedly being fake and not reaching back to his family. It’s seems like August Alsina’s former producer @KnuckDaWorld isn’t feeling August Alsina or the change in his behavior either. Knuck says that when him and August stopped speaking, everyone else in their circle turned their back on him as well. Knuck also calls August out for not even f-cking with his own mom. The producer also went on to say even if they never speak again, August needs to remember that he gave him his sound and his first hit record. Knuck claims that he gave August his full musical identity. To make matters worse, apparently somewhere during the fall out, August allegedly sent Knuck’s girlfriend a screenshot of him talking about sleeping with another woman. August has seemed to be a little bit “off” lately. Do you think his star is dimming?

Schoolboy Q Reveals Title and Artwork For Upcoming Album “Blank Face LP”

(AllHipHopNews) Schoolboy Q recently took to Twitter and unveiled the official title and artwork for his upcoming July 8 release Blank Face LP.

The artwork features the “Crying Jordan” meme with the face removed giving the album an edgy, unsettling look to say the least.

Jordan discussed the use of his image for the hilarious meme back in February, pretty much warning anyone with the intentions of using the meme for commercial purposes.

“Everyone seems to be having fun with the meme … We haven’t seen anyone using it to promote their commercial interests, which is something that we’re monitoring.”

Schoolboy Q’s use of the image would count as commercial use, but it is unknown what steps the MC took behind the scenes for clearance.

Schoolboy Q released the foreboding visuals for his track “Groovy Tony,” in April and also unveiled the video for his Kanye West featuring track “That Part” earlier this month.

The masses are also anticipating releases from fellow TDE stars SZA, Ab Soul, and the newest addition to the West coast collective, Lance Skiiiwalker, later this year.

Blank Face LP is yet to have a tracklist released. Check out the artwork for Q’s July 8 release below.
