Ski Mask the Slump God says that he wishes he were dead and XXXTentacion and Juice WRLD were still alive. Ski Mask the Slump God has been through a lot in the last two years. He’s had to mourn so many of his loved ones. First, his best friend XXXTentacion passed away as a result of gun violence, being shot in broad daylight outside of a Florida motorsports shop and losing his life. Then, a producer from the Members Only collective, Khaed, lost his life. Finally, Ski had to say goodbye to another one of his close friends, Juice...
Mike Dean celebrates one of his boldest production choices as he reflects on working with The Throne’s hit single. While Kanye West and Jay-Z’s creative partnership has taken a few hitches following the release of 2011’s classic Watch The Throne, one thing has endured — the music they made during their brief but spectacular reign. And while both rappers obviously contributed to the album’s success, the work of the producers should not go uncelebrated. As Mike Dean was involved in the creation of several key Watch The Throne tracks, including the Hit-Boy produced “N***as In Paris,” he recently opened up about some of...
Lil Durk unveils the official tracklist for Just Cause Y’all Waited 2.” Lil Durk is readying a new album while everyone is in quarantine, to help fans pass the time and perhaps ease the stress of COVID-19. The prolific, auto-tuned rapper made the announcement the other week with the release of a new record, titled “Viral Moment.” The album is titled Just Cause Y’all Waited 2, and with the release date around the corner– it’s scheduled to drop this Friday, May 8th– he’s decided to unveil the tracklist for the album a few days early. The album features an array of...
Chris Brown and Young Thug have officially dropped off their collaborative debut “Slime & B,” and early responses have begun to roll in. Last night, Chris Brown and Young Thug decided to hop back in time and release their anticipated collaboration tape Slime & B on DatPiff and SoundCloud, skipping over streaming platforms for the time being. And while it has only been a few hours — in other words, far too short a window to gain any lasting impressions from an album — many have already responded favorably to Thugger and Breezy’s concentrated dose of melodies and singsong bars. Imeh...

Lil Tjay took shots at A Boogie wit da Hoodie and his Highbridge crew this weekend before taking it back and issuing a semi-apology. With a new project on the way this week, New York rapper Lil Tjay may have attempted to get some attention the 6ix9ine way, starting beef with a number of other stars in his city. It all started when he flew out Rubi Rose to spend a few nights with him for his birthday, apparently refusing to book her return flight and getting the cops called on him as a result. Then, he called out A...
Lil Dicky takes a moment to reflect on his first TV series, “Dave” on FX. Lil Dicky ventured into screenwriting, acting, and executive producing all at once, with the creation of his new TV show for FX titled Dave. The series, which is loosely based on Lil Dicky himself– whose real name is David Andrew Burd– found the rapper in the titular role, as he begins to break into the rap scene out in Los Angeles. He goes viral for the first time, gets to meet YG, performs for the first time and more through out the ten episodes of the...
Joey Bada$$ opens up about his forthcoming solo album, promising a more “fun” tone and a concise runtime. It’s been a little over three years since Joey Bada$$ dropped off his last solo album All Amerikkkan Bada$$, a politically-charged and lush reflection on the state of the world. In the meantime, it’s been relatively quiet on the artistic front for the Brooklyn lyricist, though not one completely devoid of productivity. Lest we forget about Beast Coast’s 2019 collaborative drop, a project on which he was heavily involved, and his turn on the acclaimed series Mr. Robot. Still, fans have been eager...
Summer Walker says that Willow Smith won’t talk to her, but does that mean they’ve got beef? Summer Walker was outside practicing some yoga this week when one fan suggested that she link up with Willow Smith (after the quarantine is over, of course!) to show each other some new moves. The prospect of that friendship, and perhaps even a musical collaboration, had fans reeling. However, Summer Walker was quick to shut it down, even suggesting that the two may not be on good terms. Willow Smith is all about peace, love, and positivity so we’re surprised to see...
Wiz Khalifa has a well-earned reputation for having very strong lungs. During his interview with Big Boy, Wiz was asked if he would call out famous people he's partied with who couldn't handle the smoke. "What celebrity that Wiz Khalifa smoked with that they couldn't hang," Big Boy wondered. "Big Sean," Wiz said quickly and then paused. "French Montana. See I'm stoned so I can't think of anyone." We are surprised Wiz didn't mention Swae Lee, as he almost murdered the Rae Sreummurd bro during their Dazed & Blazed tour. We are not surprised he...
