Gucci, Gucci, Gucci, where are you? You can tell Gucci’s still he’s still the man after how quickly one of his throwaway songs blows up across the net.

ForteBowie “chanelofhouston (Just Too Much)”
Dismissing the fine-tuned, yet ever evolving artistry of ForteBowie to simply classify him as “just another rapper” from the south side of Atlanta would be flagrantly inaccurate and naïve, at the very least. Honing in his skills as a singer, songwriter, rapper, and producer, the self-taught artist of Cameroonian descent continues to create a seamless sound that transcends genre divisions and inspires genuine lovers of music. His eclectic sound results from musical influences such as Phil Collins, Michael Jackson, Prince, Sting, OutKast, and Sade, among others. Forte’s wide array of inspirations merge to create a style that is uniquely his own.
FRESH HEAT – JR Castro ft. Kid Ink & Quavo (Migos) “Get Home” (P### by DJ Mustard)
North Side Las Vegas native JR Castro links up with Kid Ink and Quavo of Migos for his DJ Mustard produced debut single “Get Home”. Bringing a perspective sorely lacking from the R&B world, JR Castro has grabbed the attention of Timbaland, Mike Will, DJ Camper, Terrace Martin, Wale, Future, and Jhene Aiko, who amongst others, collaborated with him on his forthcoming Mixtape also Executive Produced by Timbaland. Sheesh – this is def going to be a project to check for.
While showing both the good and bad that Las Vegas has to offer, JR Castro’s radio ready “Get Home” uses Faith Evan’s Classic “Soon As I Get Home” as inspiration and will definitely be lighting up radio airwaves this summer.
Chevy Woods Ft. DeJ Loaf – “All Said And Done”
With Taylor Gang rapper Chevy Woods’ “All Said And Done” video, a powerful visual follows the storyline of the song – Chevy is reflecting on a relationship between he and a friend, dissecting the ways in which their lives went in different directions. Joined by DeJ Loaf, scenes at a graveyard and inside a prison depict the presumption of death and jail being a common outcome for people raised in areas such as Hazelwood, the impoverished community of Pittsburgh where Chevy was raised.
Although his family is still rooted in the area (his mom still stays there), music and touring pulled Chevy Woods out of the streets and away from the negative influences that were surrounding him. As seen in the “All Said And Done” video, which debuted via i-D, not all of Chevy’s friends were as fortunate and ready/willing to pursue alternative opportunities, as the friend in the video expresses remorse while contemplating the stress, regret, and struggle of his situation. “All Said And Done” is the lead single from Chevy’s The 48 Hunnid Project, which releases August 7th.
Young Egypt ft. Migos – “Can’t Believe”

Migos. Born in North Carolina and raised in Orlando, the singer spent his summers with family in Egypt. It is his Egyptian heritage and time there that he credits for developing the soul and vibe of his music.

Willie D on People of Color & Police: American Law Enforcement is an Oxymoron
Photo Credit: Instagram
“First of all, law enforcement in America is an oxymoron. That doesn’t even make sense. They are not enforcing the law. What they do is they enforce prejudice.” – Willie D
(AllHipHop News) Recently, Willie D, one-third of the classic collective, Geto Boys, exclusively spoke with AllHipHop regarding his thoughts on the historic relationship between America’s people of color and its law enforcement agencies. The legendary lyricist refused to mince words and stated, “First of all, law enforcement in America is an oxymoron. That doesn’t even make sense. They are not enforcing the law. What they do is they enforce prejudice.”
As he continued to express his beliefs, he then shared, “They enforce racism and stereotypes; that’s what they enforce. They enforce division and separatism. That’s what they enforce; they enforce hate.” He soon suggested that America’s melanin-enriched people are just being appeased by a façade of equality. “The laws that they actually have on the books are just to pacify us and make us feel good—make us feel like we’re special, and make us feel like our government cares about us—make us feel like equality exists; but, it really doesn’t,” he challenged.
“It’s just like a big ass pacifier to make us feel good. People keep asking, ‘When is everybody going to be treated fairly and equally?’ So, we pray and we march, and we pray and we march. We throw a couple of rocks and then we pray, and we march,” replied the insightful entrepreneur. Willie D ended his commentary with, “Then we pray and we march – and all the while—they’re sitting back and they’re laughing their a#### off. The more you pray and the more you march the stronger the opposition gets – the stronger the oppressor gets—and the bolder and the more brazen he becomes.”
Do your thoughts bolster Willie D’s sentiment?

Dame Dash Talks 50 Cent Filing For Bankruptcy & Roc-A-Fella Faking Their Wealth (VIDEO)
(AllHipHop News) Plenty of rap fans were shocked when news broke that 50 Cent claimed in court he was only worth $4.4 million. For years the perception was the G-Unit boss had a net-worth north of $100 million, but 50 even claimed he regularly returns the cars and jewelry he sports in his videos and online back to the store once he has used them.

Boyce Watkins questioned another well-known Hip Hop mogul that has had financial troubles in the past. Roc-A-Fella Records co-founder Dame Dash offered his opinions on the situation.
“If it would have been me that went bankrupt they would have had my head,” Dame jokes.
He later adds, “50’s playing at a professional level. Maybe he might not have had an understanding of what it was before, but I know he has an understanding of what it is now… It looks like 50’s a real businessman.”
According to Dame, bankruptcy is part of business. He also admitted his days with the Roc were filled with acting as if the crew had more wealth than they actually did.
“At Roc-A-Fella that was our marketing – a lot of flash, not as much cash,” explains Dame. “We would always pretend that we had more than we had, so we would always make something look bigger.”
