This week some of the most prestigious media outlets (AllHipHop, CNN, Rap Radar,Hip Hop Weekly, etc) in Atlanta, GA were privy to a private meet & great, and performance with vocal phenomenon RCA/BetIPinnedIt recording artist Avery Wilson at Zac’s Recording Studio in Atlanta, GA. The event was an intimate gathering hosted by Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Sean Garrett, with a Q&A moderated by journalist Rea Davis of AllHipHop.com
Sean Garrett opened the floor with an introduction that conveyed how incredible of an entertainer Avery Wilson is. Avery then took the floor to perform a soulful rendition of Donny Hathaway’s “A Song For You,” followed by an acoustic cover of The Weeknd’s “Earned It” and a jaw-dropping cover of the Fetty Wap/Drake remix “Come My Way” for which the crowd erupted in applause.
Following Wilson’s performance, journalist Rea Davis moderated an intimate Q&A with the rising superstar for which Avery spoke candidly about everything from his incredible vocal range and ability, and working with the likes of Clive Davis and Sean Garrett, and experiencing everything from The Grammys to touring by age 19 (now 20), before opening up the floor to fellow media.
Garrett challenged all media in the room to be the chief purveyors of quality music to the masses. He called on the media to realize the power of their role, voice, and purpose. Garrett also stressed the importance of ending the divisiveness that seems to permeate urban music, as he explained that fans and media should be proactive in supporting exceptional music in all genres.
The evening concluded with guests being treated to Avery’s new single, “Change My Mind” that features rap group Migos, and taking pictures with the singer.

Did we miss the wedding? Rick Ross‘ fiancee posted Lira Galore posted a video to her snap chat with the caption “The Roberts.” Is she saying the two have already gotten married? Did our invitation get lost in the mail? These days people throw titles and exaggerations around easily so it’s no telling if the two eloped or not.
(AllHipHop News) One statement from Hopsin during an interview on Sway In The Morning ignited a lyrical contest between his Funk Volume label and the Horseshoe Gang. The Los Angeles based rapper said he would put up $500,000 against any other Hip Hop roster willing to battle him, Dizzy Wright, and Jarren Benton.
The four-man team of Horseshoe Gang struck first with “Half A Meal.” Funk Volume fired back with “Free Meal.” Kxng Crooked I’s little brothers then responded with “Same Day.”
AllHipHop.com caught up with Funk Volume’s Jarren Benton to get his thoughts on the back-and-forth between FV and HG. The “Silence” creator made it clear the face off was all in the spirit of friendly competition.
“There wasn’t real beef with Horseshoe Gang. Actually, we consider Crooked I extended family,” says Benton. “It was just all in fun. We’ll still do it if anybody else wants to step the f*ck up. We’ll go ahead and knock you out too.”
The Benton/Hopsin/Wright versus Julius/Demetrius/Kenny/Dice battle did not involve the half a million dollar bet since Horseshoe Gang did not match the money. According to Benton, the offer still stands for any other group or labelmates that want to take the challenge.
“All three of us are competitive. We really feel like we got the dopest squad,” declares Benton about his Funk Volume comrades. “So who’s next? We gave Horseshoe Gang a free one. We really put the money on the line.”
In an era when most of the clashing among artists takes place on social media, Funk Volume is looking to take the combat back to wax. Benton adds, “I wish more rappers would do that, instead of all the Twitter talking. If y’all want to do it, do it. Whoever wants to do it, let’s go.”

After hitting the net heavy with “Deposits”, Trel Mack keeps the music coming with new record “Walking With God”.
Norm Kelly is still riding hard for Drake, and still taking shots at Meek Mill in the process. Kelly is a Drake stan for sure. It was hilarious to hear from the Toronto Councillor initially, however some feel like its overkill at this point. It’s still hilarious either way.
T.I. back on his hustle trap sh*t – remember when he couldn’t talk all crazy after his legal issues. Well TIP is all the way back to his previous form and his is talkin all that street that only a multi-felon like T.I. would know. From the EP, Da’ Nic. Out now on iTunes:
Just like the Bad Boys franchise, Men in Black films can’t be brought up without mentioning Will Smith. In case you didn’t know a fourth sequel is being added to the franchise, but unfortunately Smith will not be involved.
Filmaker couple Walter Parkes and Laurie MacDonald, who both produced Men In Black, sat down with The Hollywood Reporter and revealed that they will be revamping MIB without its star.
“Most likely no,” Parkes said when asked if Smith would be involved in the new film. “It will be reinvented as a trilogy,” MacDonald added.
Even though he won’t be apart of Men In Black, the Philly native has other projects he is working on. Besides focusing on building a sitcom similar to The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air with his company Overbrook Entertainment, the Hancock actor will be teaming up with Jay Z to produce a HBO miniseries about the late Emmett Till.
