Griselda continue to deliver pure uncut bars, this time heading overseas for a cypher on Charlie Sloth’s “Fire In The Booth.” Westside Gunn’s ultimate vision for the Griselda movement is finally coming together, with 2020 poised to be a major year for the Buffalo-bred rap collective. While it’s no secret that Conway, Benny The Butcher, and even Gunn himself (though he might sell his own ability short) are among the game’s most dangerous lyricists, it still remains exciting to see them hit various radio stations and leave a trail of destruction in their wake. Now, the trifecta (along with...
This week’s edition of the staff-curated TIDAL Wave playlist is dedicated to Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke, who was tragically killed today.

He was killed early this morning after four masked men broke into the Hollywood Hills house he was renting, marking yet...

Meteorologist Nick Kosir remixed Roddy Ricch’s “The Box” and DaBaby’s “TOES” during his recent weather forecasts. Charlotte-based meteorologist Nick Kosir has a habit of going viral on social media, appealing to Gen Z’ers with his ridiculous dance routines and forecasts referencing popular trends and he’s on track to do so again, remixing songs by DaBaby and Roddy Ricch during his latest shenanigan-filled video.

Some players couldn’t help but make jokes at their former coach’s expense. John Beilein was recently ousted as the head coach of the Cleveland Cavaliers in a move that is shocking to absolutely nobody, Beilein included. His hiring raised a few eyebrows at first due to his stature as a phenomenal college coach. Beilein had very little experience coaching the pros and it was clear from the start that the players weren’t really messing with him. Perhaps the most egregious part of Beilein’s tenure was when he reportedly referred to the players as thugs. In a report from Shams Charania, Joe...
Blueface says that any artist considering a move to Los Angeles should contact a native to learn how things move out West after Pop Smoke’s tragic death.

The Los Angeles rapper is back in the news today and, once again, it’s because of something he’s saying about a fellow artist’s demise. Earlier today, we learned of the horrific circumstances surrounding the death of Brooklyn rapper Pop Smoke, who was shot...
Colin Cowherd is known for his peculiar analogies. Colin Cowherd is one of the most notorious sports analysts on TV right now and for good reason. He is constantly delivering a heavy stream of hot takes on his FS1 show The Herd and he has been known to get people upset, especially Baker Mayfield. Cowherd is particularly good at delivering longwinded analogies, especially when it comes to having ex-wives. With this in mind, it shouldn’t be surprising that Cowherd busted out yet another odd analogy while speaking about the cheating Houston Astros. At one point during a rant, Cowherd spoke...
Tory Lanez opens the door to his world with episode one of the “CHIXDOC,” an intimate look at his creative process. Following the fifth chapter of his ongoing Chixtape series, Tory Lanez has opened the door to his process with an extensive new documentary: CHIXDOC. The first episode begins with a bold declaration from the Canadian artist, who deems Chixtape to be the biggest R&B series release of the past decade — to be fair, it’s entirely possible that the man has a point. Framed against live concert footage and behind-the-scenes studio content, it’s evident that episode one of the Chixdoc series (directed by Midjordan & Tory Lanez)...

Prince, who also goes by the stage name Note Marcato, is the 19-year-old son of Swizz Beatz. Many people watching the ceremony were startled to see this spooky...
