NYPD Looking For Crazed Rapper Trying To Grab Cops’ Guns

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

An aspiring rapper/comedian’s antics on TikTok caught the attention of the NYPD.

Richard Sharp posted several videos of himself mocking cops and trying to grab their guns in New York. The NYPD responded by sending out an intelligence alert about the 24-year-old provocateur.

“The above depicted individual is an aspiring comedian/drill rapper that is antagonizing UMOS [uniformed members of service] by attempting to touch their firearms, threatening UMOS and provoking UMOS into physical altercations,” the bulletin read. “The subject has 12 priors arrests (CPW Firearm x3) and has a history of assault on Law Enforcement.”

It continued, “Sharp is a self-proclaimed Black Disciple gang member. ALL MOS SHOULD UTILIZE PROPER TACTICS AND CAUTION WHEN INTERACTING WITH THE ABOVE SUBJECT.”

Sharp, who calls himself Famous Richard, continued taunting the NYPD after seeing a copy of the intelligence alert.

“Y’all not finna catch me,” he said in a TikTok video. “I don’t know why y’all posting this. Y’all not catching me! I’m just gonna pull a Tay-K on y’all. Y’all not catching me, shorty. On King David, I’ma be in Mexico somewhere.”

Sharp appeared unfazed by the NYPD’s search in subsequent videos. He shared another one of his TikTok skits on Monday (April 3).

Donald Trump’s Lawyer Invokes Tupac & Biggie To Downplay Indictment

By: Justin IveyCategory: News

Donald Trump’s lawyer Alina Habba thinks the former president’s indictment bolstered his brand.

Trump’s attorney compared him to Tupac Shakur and The Notorious B.I.G. in an interview on The Benny Show. Habba gloated about the twice-impeached politician’s poll numbers going up in wake of his indictment.

“Donald Trump is Tupac,” Habba said. “Donald Trump is Biggie Smalls. I’m East Coast … But Donald Trump is his own brand. He is everything. And I just think he’s—this is just gonna boost him. We’ve seen it in the polls. It’s not a question. It’s a fact.”

Last week, a New York grand jury indicted Trump. The charge or charges remain under seal.

A source familiar with the investigation told CBS News the ex-president will be charged with falsifying business records in the first degree. Trump has been under investigation for hush money payments involving adult film actress Stormy Daniels. He called the investigation a “witch hunt.”

Trump is scheduled to be arraigned at the State Supreme Court in Manhattan on Tuesday (April 4). He arrived in New York on Monday (April 3).

The indictment against Trump made him the first former U.S. president to ever face criminal charges. He intends to run for office again in 2024.

From Tbilisi To London | Giorgi Okuashvili’s Eclectic, Musical Life

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Ask most people to locate Tbilisi on a map, and they would struggle immensely. After all, Georgia isn’t one of the more well-known nations globally. When most people think about Georgia, their mind wanders to the state home to Atlanta, its capital, instead of the country bordering Russia. Atlanta has emerged as a haven for hip-hop and rap musicians in the South, challenging the East and West Coasts. However, Giorgi Okuashvili has a different mission. He wants to put Georgia, the country, on the map.

The life experiences of this musical genius have positioned him for a standout role in hip-hop. While most rappers often come from humble beginnings and have stories to tell about their dope-slinging days, Giorgi’s background is very different. He was born to Zaza Okuashvili and Nato Chkheidze. The former is a prominent businessman in Georgia, while the latter is a parliamentary member. In addition, he attended piano school and obtained a certificate demonstrating his prowess when he was in the sixth grade. 

While music doesn’t run in the family, Giorgi’s parents were involved in the entertainment sector. They owned and operated a TV station called TB IBERA, which ran from 1998 to 2004 and then from 2015 to 2018 before being illegally shut down by the Georgian government. His family hopes to restart the channel soon once the dust settles.

It’s not surprising that Giorgi wanted to pursue a musical career considering his family’s roots in the entertainment industry. However, his musical idols might surprise you, especially since he’s pursuing a career as a hip-hop artist. Most rappers would cite iconic MCs like Rakim, Nas, Jay-Z, Eminem, or Andre 3000 when citing their musical influences, but not Giorgi. Instead, he grew up listening to Michael Jackson when he was still young. The King of Pop’s music resonated with him because it was incredibly groovy and timeless. As a result, he hopes to emulate the timelessness of Michael Jackson’s music in his own work. 

This talented artist also stresses the role his teacher Marina played in his musical journey. She taught him how to play the piano and hit the right notes. He credits her and believes he wouldn’t be the musician he is today without her assistance. He also fondly remembers her teachings because they helped him land his first live performance in Tbilisi as a nine-year-old. 

Giorgi Okuashvili was also fascinated with rap and hip-hop. The genres seemed like the perfect way to tell life stories in a relatable manner to the audience. In addition, he wanted to share his life experiences growing up on the other side of the world and, thus, considered rap the best art form. Giorgi states that his music’s target audience is mostly young adults between 18 to 30 who grew up listening to rap music in their formative years.

His latest album includes seven tracks and features talented artists from all across the globe. Giorgi hopes to share his life experiences, including his journey from Tbilisi to London, in detail with listeners while also helping them discover other talented artists. The latter goal coincides with his overall mission in the music industry – shining the light on talented but undiscovered artists. It’s the primary reason he started his own label, G Squad, in 2016. The record label is an independent music company that aims to help aspiring rappers break through.

Giorgi Okuashvili believes his connections and contacts with large music platforms can help the label grow. Creating a label wasn’t something Giorgi initially intended. However, the idea came about when he visited friends in London who wanted to start a label promoting their music. 

Tony Rock Says Will Smith Is A Liar, Never Apologized To Chris Rock

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Tony Rock has claimed Will Smith lied about reaching out to Chris Rock after slapping him at the 2022 Academy Awards.

During the Oscars ceremony in March 2022, the “King Richard” actor walked onto the stage and slapped the comedian after he compared his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith – who has the medical condition alopecia – to “G.I. Jane.”

But during a recent appearance on BigBoyTV, Chris’s younger brother Tony rejected Will’s claim that he had called the comedian to apologize in the days after the incident.

“That wasn’t true, that wasn’t true,” Tony said on the radio show. “I think like, two nights later, he said, ‘I reached out to Chris, and he didn’t want to talk.’ That wasn’t true.”

Tony emphasized that he had known Will for some time but hadn’t heard from the “Men in Black” star either.

“He doesn’t owe me anything, I just thought we were better than that… My phone number has never changed,” the 48-year-old added. “So, I just thought I’d get a phone call one day like, ‘Ay, let’s just you and I just talk.’ It hasn’t happened, so I guess it’s not going to happen.”

Will has mostly steered clear of the public eye since the slap. He apologized to Academy members and his peers during his acceptance speech for Best Actor at the film event and followed it up with a lengthy apology on Instagram the next day.

The 54-year-old subsequently resigned from the Academy and was banned from attending the Oscars for 10 years.

Chris addressed the slap during his Netflix comedy special “Selective Outrage,” which aired last month.

Travis Scott Makes Undisclosed Settlement With NYC Nightclub Owner & Engineer

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

Rapper Travis Scott and his legal team have made a move to end a civil lawsuit against him by the owners of a New York City nightclub and its employee.

According to TMZ, the parties have reached an undisclosed settlement.

As reported by AllHipHop.com, the chart-topper was in an altercation in a Midtown Manhattan nightclub called Nebula on Wednesday, Mar. 1.

During the melee, Scott, 31, assaulted a 52-year-old sound engineer, ripped out his video monitor, and broke his speaker. The damages, according to sources, ranged up to $12,000.  

While the civil complaint might have gone away, the artist still faces criminal charges.

“This remains an active investigation,” according to a representative from the New York Police Department.

At least for now, the investigation is open. Sources close to the case explain the alleged victim is no longer cooperating with law enforcement and so the charges may not stick.

This is something Scott is probably grateful for considering he is still swimming in backlash from the disastrous Astroworld festival in November 2021.

Travis Scott and Live Nation faced lawsuits after the tragedy that left 10 people dead and hundreds more injured.

Live Nation reached a settlement with the family of Axel Acosta and possibly with the family of Brianna Rodriguez, the youngest person to lose their life during the deadly crowd surge.

On the flip side, Scott has not settled any civil claims in this case. But has issued a “general denial” to the claims against him and asked for multiple lawsuits to be dismissed.

Yung Miami & Mariah The Scientist Clash Over “BMF” Series

By: AllHipHop StaffCategory: News

Yung Miami has clashed with Mariah the Scientist over her acting in the TV show “BMF.”

The singer-songwriter Mariah – real name Mariah Amani Buckles – appeared to call out the City Girls rapper’s performance on a recent episode of the 50 Cent-produced Starz series, also known as “Black Mafia Family.”

“I feel like I could’ve said meech where is my husband,” she tweeted, referencing one of Miami’s lines as Deanna Washington on the program.

https://twitter.com/MariahScientist/status/1641698974947057665?s=20

The Hip-Hop star, also known as Caresha Romeka Brownlee, later responded to Mariah’s post, and noted, “I’m tryna figure out what this mean(s).”

After the post stirred up debate online, Mariah returned to social media to defend her original post.

“Stop trying to put words in my mouth, I liked the role and the show,” she insisted. “Y’all want me 2 be controversial so bad.”

https://twitter.com/MariahScientist/status/1641916325881602050?s=20

After the Twitter exchange, Mariah also explained her remarks via an Instagram Live message.

“Why do every time I tweet anything, off top, it’s a problem,” she lamented. “It don’t matter what I say, period. I walk around all day long saying, ‘Meech, where’s my husband?’ All day, every day.”

The 25-year-old continued, “I’m truly convinced y’all always gotta make some beef with me no matter what. One hundred percent.”

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Music

Miami rapper P.$mith is fresh off the heels of his latest release, “No Risk” and the record shows no signs of slowing up. The hustlers anthem saw radio ads across the country last week and is receiving kudos for the MC’s dynamic flow and delivery. $mith insists “there’s no reward without risk” over an electrifying drum-laced beat, detailing his perseverance and ability to navigate circumstances as he builds toward broader success.

Make no mistake, P. $mith is not a rapper, he’s a bonafide MC. As today’s artists lean more towards trends and lyrical familiarity, $mith is moving to the beat of his drum and bringing along his listeners for the ride.

Unbelievable Transformation: How One Man’s Death Sentence Led to a Life of Musical Inspiration

By: Brxton LeeCategory: Uncategorized

It’s no secret that life is full of surprises and unexpected turns that keep us on our toes and on the lookout for what comes next. We can face many of those challenges without breaking a sweat. But what would you do if the challenge–the life’s lemon–was the death penalty for a crime you didn’t commit?

Well, that’s what happened to Jacksonville rapper Splash Mullah. Back when he was a 16-year-old kid, he was running around with a bad bunch and got himself into trouble he couldn’t get out of. According to Splash, he was hanging out with his crew when they got into an altercation. Splash suddenly found himself standing in a middle of a crime scene. 

When police picked him up, he still didn’t understand the gravity of the situation until he got charged with first-degree murder—an offense whose sentence carries the death penalty. It was a manipulative move that the prosecution used to manipulate and coerce Splash into snitching on his friends. Even though Splash’s world collapsed upon hearing “You are going to be sentenced to death if you don’t cooperate” coming out of the prosecutor’s mouth, he was determined to keep his lips sealed shut.

“It was a crazy experience. I was just a kid who made a mistake. I didn’t even shoot at anyone, but suddenly, I was counting my last days. Staring at the face of death can mess with your mind, but the streets didn’t raise a quitter so I fought it tooth and nail. I didn’t want to believe that my life was over,” says Splash Mullah.

Even though the prosecution relentlessly pursued the harshest penalty, a judge and jury only found Splash guilty of second-degree murder and sentenced him to serve 25 years in prison. While 25 years is a long time indeed, it gave Splash Mullah the opportunity to contemplate and discover his new self. You could say that Splash was productive as it was in prison that he discovered and honed in on his love for singing and rapping with the support of his cellmates and best friend and biological sister, Jamara Davis.

After being released from prison, Splash Mullah followed his dream and started performing all across the US to promote his music and grow his audience. His pursuit was nothing but success as Splash managed to rack up impressive numbers on Spotify that currently stand at over 1.5 million streams and 2500 listeners and even build a clothing brand.

Apart from discovering his passion for music, Splash Mullah also used his time in prison to reflect and repent of his past. He grew his relationship with God and vowed to bring more good into the world if given a second chance. As part of staying true to his promise, Splash Mullah uses his time to educate younger kids in his area to avoid making the same mistakes he did.

“Nobody deserves to go through what I did. There are so many kids on the streets that are just one bad decision away from completely ruining their lives, and if I can do anything about that, then I won’t stand idly by the sidelines and watch the world burn,” he says.

So far, Splash Mullahs’ journey has been an incredible one full of ups and downs – but as he points out, it’s only getting better. With each passing day, he will continue to use music as an outlet for positivity while encouraging others on their own paths toward redemption. More importantly, his inspiring story proves that no matter the challenges life throws your way, you can find the inner strength to face them and find your way to a better tomorrow.

Ways to Promote Hip-Hop Music

By: Staff WriterCategory: Sponsored Posts

As a hip-hop artist, you want to make sure your music reaches the masses and is heard; that is why you’re consistent in your craft and serious about taking your music to the next level. Promoting your hip-hop music is essential for success in this increasingly competitive industry.

In addition to using YouTube promotion services, there’re several other methods you can use to promote your hip-hop music. They include:

Collaborating with Other Artists

One of the most effective strategies you can use to promote your music is collaborating with other artists. This way, you create catchy tunes and expose yourself to a new audience. It’s even better if the artist you collaborated with has a more established fan base than yours, as it will help spread your music faster.

Remember, you don’t have to collaborate with artists in your genre. The best collaborations often come from unexpected combinations, so feel free to explore beyond the hip-hop genre.

Reaching out to Influencers

Influencers are the key to making it big in hip-hop. Whether you’re an upcoming rapper, a producer, or a DJ, having the right people vouching for you can make all the difference. Reach out to influencers in your area that could be interested in your music and see how they can help you spread the word. The more people who know about your music, the better chance you have of increasing visibility and ultimately getting heard.

Organizing Gigs

Organizing gigs is a great way to create hype and gain fans in your local area. Team up with like-minded hip-hop artists and book a venue, then promote it online using avenues such as social media and other online platforms. You can also reach out to local radio stations and publications to advertise your gig, helping you attract an even larger audience.

Creating Online Presence

Creating a strong online presence is essential for any hip-hop artist looking to promote their music. Make sure to create as many social media accounts as possible, such as Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and SoundCloud. Utilizing these platforms to their fullest is key to properly promoting your music. Post regularly, engage with fans and followers, and use hashtags so more people can discover your music.

Doing Online Interviews

Reaching out to online publications for interviews is a great way to get exposure and help others learn about who you are as a hip-hop artist. You can even do podcasts or YouTube interviews with other influencers in the industry, helping to increase your reach and get more people interested in your music.

Making Use of Streaming Platforms

Streaming platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon Music are essential for any modern hip-hop artist. Make sure to get your music on these platforms so more people can discover it. You can even set up pre-save campaigns, which can help you generate buzz when your new song is released.

Building a Website

As weird as it sounds, having your own website is a great way for people to learn more about you and listen to your music. Having an online portfolio that fans can access easily helps give them more insight into who you are as an artist and what you stand for. You can also use the website to direct fans to streaming platforms, social media accounts, or even merch stores.

Conclusion

These are just a few of the ways you can promote your hip-hop music and get people talking. With some hard work, dedication, and creative marketing strategies, you’ll be sure to find success as a hip-hop artist. Best of luck!

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

After Louisiana State University won the NCAA Women’s championship title, rapper Boosie Badazz took to the court in his own house and celebrated.

The team was led to victory by Angel Reese, a Black player labeled hood by the media and press. Well now, one of the hood’s biggest champions sent a message to the team that he got their back— especially saluting Reese who has been the target of a lot of hate over the last week.

In a video posted by @ChuckStarFilms, the “Wipe Me Down” rapper cuts the net off of a basketball hoop, and poses with the net around his neck.

A post shared by ChuckStarFilms 🎥🎬📹💰 (@chuckstarfilms)

The southern hitmaker had been pretty vocal about the team and their competition all season.

During the show, he shouted out the bushy hair champion Jasmine Carson from the LSU squad, nicknaming her “LSU Ice Spice,” and calling her “The Truth.”

Then he commented, referring to Iowa and Caitlin Clark, saying, “They dead. They dead. Larry Bird, come get your daughter. They dead. They shot in the head.”

The team loves them some Boosie too.

Twitter had a ball comparing LSU to Iowa, noting the totally different vibes of the team.

One person wrote, “I can’t get over Iowa and LSU facing each other in the women’s national championship game…a tale of 2 cultures 😂😭”

Exclusive: Get to Know New York’s Trigg The Ruler

By: Staff WriterCategory: Music News

Trigg The Ruler is a 28-year-old hip-hop music video director who has worked with some of the biggest upcoming names in the industry. With a unique creative vision and a talent for bringing the artist’s vision to life, Trigg has established himself as one of the most sought-after directors in New York. In this interview, we’ll be talking to Trigg about his experiences working with different rappers, life on tour, and the rap scene in his hometown.

   Q: Can you tell us a bit about your experience working with different rappers and their unique personalities?

Trigg: It’s an interesting experience. Each rapper has their own unique personality that they bring to the table. Some are outgoing and energetic, while others are introverted and reserved. As a director, it’s important to be able to adapt to each rapper’s personality and figure out what works best for them

Q: What’s it like being on tour with rappers?

Trigg: Touring with rappers can be fun, but it’s also demanding. You’re constantly on the move, traveling from city to city, and working long hours. It’s important to stay focused and be prepared for anything that might come your way. That being said, being on tour is also a great opportunity to see the world and experience new things.

Q: Can you tell us a bit about the rap scene in your small hometown of Syracuse?

Trigg: The rap scene in Syracuse is growing, but it’s still small compared to other cities. It’s been exciting to see the scene evolve over the years. There’s a lot of growth potential, and I think that with the right support and resources, Syracuse could become a major player in the hip-hop indie world.

Q: What do you think sets your music videos apart from others in the industry?

Trigg: my ability to bring the artist’s vision to life while also incorporating my own creative vision. I also try to push the boundaries and try new things, whether it’s experimenting with different camera angles or incorporating visual effects.

Q: What advice would you give to aspiring music video directors?

Trigg: My advice would be to stay focused and never stop learning. The industry is constantly changing, and it’s important to stay on top of the latest trends and technologies. It’s also important to build relationships and network with other people in the industry. Finally, don’t be afraid to take risks and try new things. That’s how you grow and evolve as a director.

Remy Ma Announces Her Return To Battle Rap As An Emcee

By: Kershaw St. JawnsonCategory: News

On Saturday, April 1, Remy Ma announced “The GOAT Card” on June 3, 2023, at Sony Hall in New York City.

The drop came as an April’s Fool joke with her taunting her friend and little sister, Ms. Hustle.

She tweeted, “Aye @MSHUSTLE1271 don’t “retire” just yet😈… let’s see whose really The Villain!😎#AllThatSisterShitOutTheWindow #TheBiggestBully  #TheresNoPlaceLikeChrome”

“Holla at ME?🧐… everybody know they gotta watch they tone and talk to me nice…or else #TheREALvillain”

“I learned it all from u , u never taught me to watch my tone 😏… only tone imma do is BLACK 😈 #yearofthevillain,” Hustle responded.

Hustle, the Harlem native with the villain crown, has said she was retiring after her Loso battle at John John Da Don’s Pendemic in Atlanta on Saturday, April 15. However, that might not be the case.

According to a follow-up tweet the next day, Remy gave clarity and shared what her plans really were with the recognized “Face of Chrome.”

“Ok, lil sis,  it’s after midnight…let’s stop playing and figure out who our Opps for this 2 on 2😈 @MSHUSTLE1271 & @RealRemyMa versus who🧐 #Chrome23”

The Villains might be the biggest two-on-two duo ever created in the culture.

The battle most fans want to see them go after is The Villains vs. Shooneral. However, many would settle to see The Bardashians take the stage.

Either way, already, Hustle’s strength of schedule in 2023 is bonkers and she is set to WOTY. Shooney, Loso, and now Remy Ma— it will be hard to deny her.

Hustle is also known as the “The First Lady of URL,” and is scheduled to battle Casey Jay on the Ultimate Rap League. No date for that battle has been set.

Remy Ma has not battled in about two decades. Many remember her legendary two battles against Lady Luck on MTV’s Fight Klub.

KSI Apologizes For Using Racial Slur

By: Yohance Kyles (@HUEYmixwitRILEY)Category: News

Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji is best known as internet personality KSI. The London-born entertainer recently found himself in hot water.

KSI and his fellow Sidemen groupmates appeared on the British game show Countdown. The “Houdini” rapper said the word “P###” on the program. The pejorative term is considered an insult against people of South Asian origin. 

“Look, we need points, alright. I don’t mean this maliciously, but the word’s P###,” stated KSI on Countdown as other people on the panel laughed. Many social media users called out the YouTuber for using the slur.

https://twitter.com/lcfckini/status/1642615325899345922?s=20

Following the online backlash, KSI addressed the situation in a tweet shared on Sunday. He wrote, “I wanna [apologize] for saying a racial slur in a recent Sidemen video. There’s no excuse, no matter the circumstances, I shouldn’t have said it and I’m sorry.”

KSI added, “I’ve always said to my audience that they shouldn’t worship me or put me on a pedestal because I’m human. I’m not perfect, I’m gonna mess up in life, and lately, I’ve been messing up a lot. So I’ve decided I’m gonna just take a break from social media for a while.”

The Dissimulation and All Over the Place album creator recently confirmed his third studio LP is on the way. KSI also made headlines over the weekend for his surprise appearance at WWE’s WrestleMania 39 event during the Logan Paul vs Seth Rollins match.
