It's not like artists are able to tour, or go to the studio (let alone leave their house) right now, so as you can imagine, plenty of artists are using this isolation time as an opportunity to work on new music, and share it with the fans. Some are putting on nightly IG live performances, interviewing fellow celebs on Live, or hosting insane competitions like Tory Lanez.

Among the rappers who are sharing in-the-moment updates on whatever it is they're working, there is the always-working Russ. Russ has been emblematic of the idiom that hard work pays off, after he essentially blew himself up when he went on an ambitious journey to drop one song a week for a year. It's become common knowledge that the man is disliked among hip-hop masses, and apparently we can count the talented producer slash singer Childish Major in that camp.

When Russ shared a video, innocently enough, that was captioned "bring soul samples back 2020." Childish re-shared with a comment, "Lol un quantize everything and it’ll be good." It wasn't too firey, let's be real, and it's unclear what exactly the tone is in his tweet. When a fan in reply to Childish said that they no longer listen to Russ, because Guapdad said so (stemming to the two's own beefing issues), Guap jumped right in to confirm this as fact: "Period."

Russ, perhaps always on the defensive, spoke back to Childish Major in a subtweet, and eventually, Boi-1da also chimed in, supporting Russ.

Childish replied from there, asking Russ to lighten up a bit. Maybe it was just a misconstrued light-hearted joke all along? Check out the banter below.

The Grammy Awards hype may be behind us, but some are still recovering from a weekend filled with parties all across Los Angeles to celebrate nominees. Roc Nation hosted their annual brunch and Sean Love “Diddy” Combs was honored with the Industry Icons Award at Clive Davis’s coveted pre-Grammy gala. Yet, it was the afterparties that lit up L.A.

Over at the swanky The West Hollywood EDITION luxury hotel on the Sunset Strip, Dreamville invited a few friends and influencers to come party with them in celebration of their nominations. Revenge of the Dreamers III was up for two Grammy Awards for Best Rap Performance and Best Rap Album, and although they didn’t win either one, it didn’t stop the label from letting loose with loved ones.

Dreamville’s co-founder Ibrahim Hamad partnered with ILYSM for the post-Grammy event on Sunday (January 26) to honor nominees J. Cole, Ari Lennox, Lute, Bas, Omen, J.I.D, Cozz, and EarthGang. The latter six of those names listed attended the open-bar shindig where the DJ spun hip hop and rap favorites. Many members of the small crowd gathered together for the electric slide as Beyoncé’s “Before I Let Go” boomed over the loudspeakers. Later, everyone went wild to Roddy Ricch‘s “The Box”—a song that had to be restarted more than once because fans couldn’t get enough of the chart-topping hit. The energetic crowd with a positive vibe lingered for hours while strangers became friends as they attempted to rap all the spit-fire bars to Revenge of the Dreamers III. The party went on until about midnight before people scattered to other events, including Billie Eilish’s afterparty where she celebrated her sweeping wins.

Also on the scene were Mereba, Guapdad 4000 and his 10-foot long du-rag, Buddy BJ the Chicago Kid, Childish Major, Jace, Kitty Ca$h, G Herbo, Young Dolph, Mozzy, Kiddominant, Yung Baby Tate, Shaun Ross, Ty Hunter, Nitrane, Luke James, Domani, Ro James, IDK, Reese LaFlare, and many more. 

Thank you, Dreamville, for having us! Check out a few photos from the Dreamville + ILYSM celebration of the label’s Grammy nominees below.
