Just before the end of January Baltimore’s own YGG Tay released Rich Before Rap — a 16-track mixtape that featured the Young Scooter-assisted single “Protocol”, as well as other collaborations with the likes of London On Da Track, TM-88, Metro Boomin, and more. DJ Plugg also made contributions to the aforementioned tape and not only is he back providing more production for YGG Tay, but this time he’s going a step further by producing the entire tape and undertaking the hosting duties of Tay’s new project Young Go Getter. Also including features from Chicago’s Lil Herb and YGG Dre, the new mixtape comes to us the week after YGG Tay rocked the stage down in Austin, TX during SXSW at the HipHopSince1987 showcase, further solidifying Tay’s determination to become a mainstay in 2015.

(AllHipHop News) When Rich Homie Quan’s new song “You Not” hit the net, listeners almost instantly began to suspect the track was a diss directed at Quan’s Rich Gang partner Young Thug. The song (which includes the line “you ain’t no thug, plus you not the n***a I thought you was”) comes after Thugger called RHQ “B***h Homie Quan”.

According to Quan, the song was not directed at anyone in particular. He addressed the “You Not” rumors on Twitter, explaining he was not aiming at Thug.

Despite making the decision to part with Rich Gang, Rich Homie recently told AllHipHop.com that he does not have any issues with Young Thug or the RG crew.

“Rich Gang still my family,” Quan told AllHipHop.

(AllHipHop News) Wale has had his fair share of hot head moments. He got into a very heated argument with a Complex writer. He yelled at a Toronto Raptors commentator on live television. He got into a physical altercation with a wrestling fan at a WWE event. All of these outbursts may have been the result of the DMV rapper struggling with his own inner conflicts.

Wale opened up to Billboard about his battle with depression. “The Matrimony” rhymer revealed he began taking pills to deal with his emotional issues.

My confidence was shot, so I’d be taking whatever to keep me in a good mood, to get me in the right mood for an interview. I’m not going into the details as to what I was taking, but there’s definitely something for that. Just like there’s a f**kin’ app for everything, there’s a damn pill for everything. Or something you can pour in your glass. I was depressed not being where I wanna be in my career when I’ve put the work in. I wasn’t sleeping. I was drinking all day and I didn’t have anyone to go to. I couldn’t fight it. Those are some of the demons I talk about on the album.

The Maybach Music Group member also talked about not receiving the critical acclaim and industry respect he feels he deserves.

I gave this my all. I’m not trying to whine about being critically acclaimed or getting in the door, but it breaks my heart. Everyone says, “Be patient. It’ll happen.” But all signs are showing, “No, it won’t happen.” I’m okay with people not liking my music but provide an intelligent reason for why you like or don’t like something or you’re a hater or a d**k-rider. This is my fourth album. I want some respect. I want to go to a party and not have Katy Perry tell her security to move me out of the f**kin’ way. We do the same thing. I know there’s no union in the music industry, but have some respect. I want people to be like, “Your album’s just as good as Kendrick [Lamar]’s or Esperanza Spalding or Beck .” I work just as hard as them.

Wale’s fourth studio LP The Album About Nothing hits stores today (March 31). The project features appearances by J. Cole, SZA, Usher, and Jeremih.

The group has launched a Kickstarter:

For the last decade, we’ve been independent artists, free of a record label interfering in our creative process. This will be our first De La Soul studio album in eleven years. We’re excited and ready to create. It’s been essential that we find ways to fund, record and release new music. Typically the fans have been the ones who support and appreciate our vision, so using Kickstarter and giving our fans the opportunity to be a part of the process just feels right. We see Kickstarter as a home for creative minds and a wonderful platform; where people who believe, respect and see the vision, can support an idea and make it a reality.

Backers will have the opportunity to receive rewards from a personal email from the members ($5) to a t-shirt pack/CD with bonus track ($55) to  n autographed pair of the 2015 De La Soul Nike Dunks/an autographed limited edition colored vinyl ($500).

Rewards are available for donations as high as $10,000. As of press time, the campaign has earned over $155,000 from 2,300 backers. De La was seeking a goal of $110,000 by May 2.

Kevin Gates is not against sleeping with his cousin, speaking out about Obama, and lately he is not opposed to fighting women either. Gates got into it with a group of girls during his recent Michigan show, and as the night went on he fought with a different girl during the same show. Allegedly, a few girls started grabbing him, and he decided to go after them. His security had to pull him back in from the crowd. Even if the women were harassing Gates, why not let security handle it before deciding to fight women?!

For all of the Illuminati believers, the emergence of Tidal and it’s power players may be all the confirmation they need that most of the music industry are a part of a strange society. Madonna, no stranger to expressing her opinion, took to her Instagram to defend the Illuminati accusations being made. She said:

“If you refer to Tidal as Illuminati, you are paying us the highest of compliments. As I’ve stated before it is another name for “The Enlightened Ones” a group of scientists, philosophers and artists that emerged after the dark ages. They changed and shaped the world for the better! Do the research and find out for yourself!”

Liza Rios Says Big Pun Would Be Heartbroken By What Fat Joe Did To His Family

By: Rea Davis @IamReaDavis Updated Category: Features

Last year Big Pun’s widow, Liza Rios, filed a lawsuit against Fat Joe, asking for more than a million dollars. In the lawsuit, Rios stated that she and Fat Joe had a deal to split money made by Big Pun following the rapper’s passing in 2000. Despite the alleged deal, Rios said she hasn’t received any money since ’05.

AllHipHop recently sat down with Rios to talk about the Terror Squad’s actions or lack thereof since Big Pun’s untimely passing. Rios said Big Pun put in a lot of work for Terror Squad and made it what it was, and for them to turn their back on the family and the children is disappointing. Whether there was a contractual obligation to do so or not, her family feels that because of the relationship, they should still be there for the family.

“I feel sorry for him [Big Pun] because if he could see what’s been going on he would be heartbroken. He loved his family; he loved Joe and The Squad. That was his heart. For him to give so much to Terror Squad and….at his demise at his passing for them to turn their backs on his family, his kids… for me that was upsetting.

Rios also talked about her son following in his father’s footsteps by becoming a music artist.

“I’m excited. Initially, any of the kids getting into the business I’m like oh my God because the business is a cut throat business. Thank God I learned, and I stood by their side. I support them 100% like I supported my husband… It’s uncanny him and his dad the way the rhyming is. I say you sound just like your dad.. not that he tries too.”
