Rock Steady Alum, Commercial and Battle Rapper, MyVerse debut on the highly prestigious TED Talks’ Countdown stage, along with Samir Ibrahim and Kristen Warren.

The title of the experience was called “How Hip-Hop Can Make Climate Action Cool,” and focused on how “music can amplify social issues and inspire people to care about new (and sometimes unexpected) topics.”

“But can it take something as dire as climate change and make it mainstream?” a description of the talk read.  “With artists MyVerse and Kristen Warren as an inspiring opening act, social entrepreneur Samir Ibrahim suggests hip-hop and its stars can help us move from talking about the problem to rapping about (and acting on) solutions.”

The Latina emcee partnered with her colleagues to make accessible the concept of climate change through a Hip-Hop song, “Mother’s Mind.”

As she rhymed as the personification of Mother Earth, dropping jewels on how everyday people can make a difference, Warren warbled in the background before opening up her fiercely warm mezzo-soprano to give life to the message.

In an exclusive interview with AllHipHop.com, MyVerse spoke about the experience and how it felt to be the first battle rapper to do a TED Talks.

She said, her “experience with TED Talks was truly an eye-opening experience.”

“From learning about underdeveloped communities that are being most affected by climate change to seeing the length that certain companies will go to to make us believe that there is nothing wrong,” she marveled. “I was honored to be a voice for Hip-Hop (alongside my girl Kristen Warren), to show the power it has on social change.”

“In fact, it made me want to better my habits moving forward for our planet’s future.”

Many influencers in the Hip-Hop space have been invited to the exclusive platform to share their inspirational journey.

Bevy Smith, Harlemite, Socialite, Actor, Best-Selling Author of “Bevelations,” Radio Personality, Travel Noir Connoisseur, Cultural Ambassador for the Universal Hip Hop Museum and Lifestyle & Fashion “It” Woman, whose signature phrase “It gets greater, later,” debuted on the stage earlier this year.

Her talk titled, “How to Discover Your Authentic Self —at Any Age” is almost half a million views in only three months.

Gospel rapper Lecrae has done one. Chart-topping rapper Cordae has done one. Kid Cudi… Rapper and Engineer Shelem … and Rap Pioneer Kurtis Blow have all done one, become some of the less than 50 videos incorporating the cultural movement into their 10 to 20 minutes of lesson sharing.

The CEO of AllHipHop.com, Chuck Creekmur also addressed the audience, speaking on “Why Planning is Overrated,” assisting the school to make history.

The event became the first HBCU to host a TED Talks on its campus.

He spoke about moving from Delaware to New York and starting his business. He talked about how much he planned, but his plan took some time to take shape. However, tenacity, never giving up, and hard work helped him realize his dream of being a magazine or media mogul. 

 

 

 

 

 

It hasn’t been long since Wallo267 was released from prison and started his journey as a motivational speaker, podcaster, and legitimate businessman.

After he and his cousin Gillie Da King linked a lucrative deal for his podcast with Barstool Sports, the two Philly legends and former members of Major Figgaz, have decided to give back in a major way.

Along with their partners, they will be giving away $4 million worth of grants to Black-owned businesses.

The young buhl said, “As of this day, July 27th ‘Million Dollaz Worth of Game,’ Barstool Difference, Barstool Sports, we have already given out $2.4 million dollars to businesses.”

They did not only fund businesses in Philly but across the country. One nonprofit in Louisiana, that works with children received $300,000. This was the largest contribution that the collective gave with their first round.

This time around, according to the duo, the philanthropic collective was approved to give away $4 million in grant money to qualifying “minority-owned businesses already in operation,”

“I have a list of people we gotta take some money to tomorrow,” Wallo said, before adding, “If you filed, we might be coming for you tomorrow or we might be coming for you next week.”

President Donald Trump, the former president of the United States, rocked out at a Nelly concert he sponsored in New York City’s Gotham Hall.

According to the New York Post, the disgraced politician attended an LIV Golf-sponsored party on Wednesday, July 27. The event was the kick-off activation a day before the league’s tournament across the Hudson, in New Jersey at his golf course.

Here is the chart-topper featured on a Twitter post of Patriot Takes, a MAGAmaniacal organization, supporting 45.

Video shows him performing for a sea of white republicans, his hit song, “It’s Getting Hot in Here.”

According to Celebrity Talent, it cost anywhere from $75K to $149K to book him, but depending on the event, the number of songs, and his rider, those numbers can balloon.

Nelly wasn’t the only celebrity in the spot. Trump connected with Republican and transwoman, Caitlyn Jenner — who spent the first half of her life as Olympic Decathlon gold medal winner Bruce Jenner and ex-husband to Kris Jenner, the mother of Kim Kardashian.

Jenner is scheduled to participate in The LIV Golf Bedminster pro-am will take place Thursday, July 28, starting at 10 a.m. with two former NFL stars, Sporting News reveals, and NBA All-Star and Basketball Hall of Famer, Charles Barkley.

The pro-am will take place at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J.

Many might be shocked that Nelly took the gig in the first place, considering all of the smoke around Trump and his part in the Jan. 6^th insurrection. But he has previously said he rocks with the ginger, at least before he was the president.

“I liked Donald Trump,” Nelly admitted to Page Six in 2017. “I did. I just don’t like Donald Trump as my president,” the Grammy winner continued. “Dude is a trip.”

“Pre-presidency, I was cool with The Donald. Loved his hotels,” he also shared.

Nelly remarked, “He doesn’t surprise me as a person, he surprises me as a president because you don’t expect certain things, certain attitudes.”

Guess now that he is out of office, it is all good.

With him in attendance at the Nelly headlined event was his current wife, Melania, only weeks after his first wife Ivana transitioned.
