Tory Lanez’s "Quarantine Radio" Is Back With Hefty Prizes
Tory Lanez is about to unleash his most lucrative episode of “Quarantine Radio” yet, with up to $15,000 dollars in cash prizes to be won.
Despite briefly being slapped with the unrelenting blunt end of the ban-hammer, Tory Lanez has emerged from his brief Instagram hiatus a changed man — one dedicated to making sure that Quarantine Radio not only runs, but thrives. A firm but fair warning from Instagram head Adam Mosseri appears to have resonated. The days of butt-plugs and x-rated gummy worm debauchery are over. Now, Tory has adapted accordingly and looks to continue building on what he’s created with yet another new installment.

Set to kick off in mere moments, Lanez promises one of the biggest episodes thus far, with over $15,000 in cash prizes to give away. “3 DIFF COMPETITIONS,” he prefaces, alongside a video announcement. “15,000 DOLLARS TO WIN !!!! WE WILL LET U KNOW HOW TO WIN ON THE SHOW !!!! AFTER EVERYBODY GETS IN THE CLUB. SOMEBODY GONE WIN SOME MONEY TODAY !!!!”
Though he has yet to unveil details about how one might secure the bag, he does hint that one person could ultimately win all three, provided they are both “special and a girl.” Should you be so inclined to learn more, be sure to tune into the upcoming installment of The New Toronto 3 mastermind’s rambunctious and twerk-fueled pirate radio saga. As he tells it, we’re looking at an approximated 5:45 start time, give or take a few minutes.
HNHH & TuneCore Present "Heat Seekers" Artist Spotlight: Tye Harris
Tye Harris is the first artist to be featured as part of HNHH’s “Heat Seekers” contest with TuneCore.
Last year, HNHH and TuneCore teamed up for an 11-week series which showcased some of the best up and coming independent talent in the industry. The “Heat Seekers” contest was a huge success as we had numerous artists submit their music. At the end of it all, one artist was given the chance to partake in a live recording session with a famous producer at our very own HNHH studio. Well, the contest is back except this time around we will be featuring one artist a month for the next 12 months. Did you do that math yet? If so, that means we will be featuring 12 artists who will all compete for a shot at the live session. You can even submit your music to enter the contest, right here.
The first artist on our list is none other than Tye Harris who comes straight out of the Red Bird areas of Dallas, Texas. Harris isn’t your typical rapper as he actually comes from an opera background. The Dallas MC got to be a part of his school choir while growing up and was even classically trained. This allowed him to stand out from the rest of his classmates and he eventually earned some University scholarships. Adding to Harris’ impressive upbringing is the fact that he played varsity basketball.
Recently, Harris released his first single, “Tornado.” The track was produced by Marz Beats and if you listen to Harris’ delivery, you will immediately notice that he is letting his opera training shine through. In fact, Harris is looking to push this sound further and has even enlisted super-producer Supah Mario to help do so.
To get a better idea of Tye Harris as an artist, check out the Q&A we did with him, below.

Eminem Drops "Godzilla" Lyric Video
Eminem dropped a lyric video to accompany his track, "Godzilla," with the late Juice WRLD, following the launch of the #GodzillaChallenge.
Eminem is giving us all a chance to try to catch up to his rapid-fire flow on "Godzilla" by dropping a visually-appealing lyric video for the Juice WRLD-featured track. On Wednesday, the seasoned MC announced on social media that he'd concocted a helpful tool for all those visual learners out there hoping to master his unreal verse on the reportedly record-breaking track, which has him spitting approximately 229 words in 30 seconds.
The animated visuals stick to the established "monster" theme of the track, though the words appearing on the screen become difficult to follow at times due to how quickly they disappear from the screen as Em raps at the speed of light.
Em's remarkable delivery on the Music To Be Murdered By track led to the launch of the comical #GodzillaChallenge, a contest in which fans can compete to win a repost and additional prizes from Em if they manage to spit all those bars in that short time frame. The challenge has spawned many attempts from the Stans and fellow rappers alike. So far, Bizzy Bone has attempted the challenge, as has Biz Markie, both of whom Em has acknowledged for their efforts. While he hasn't set a deadline for the contest, he'll likely be declaring his favourite submissions sooner rather than later, so any hopeful prospects better get to practicing.

Vince Carter Gets NBA Fans Hyped With This Vintage Dunk: Watch
Vinsanity needs to be in the Dunk Contest.
Vince Carter is turning 43 years old in just a couple of weeks and shockingly, he's still playing basketball at a high level. While he isn't scoring at the same clip he did back in the early 2000s, he is still good enough to crack an NBA roster. Amazingly, Carter is the first player in NBA to play in four different decades which is something to proud of. It's hard to keep your body healthy for that long but somehow he has been able to do it. When Carter first came into the league, he was known for his incredible dunking ability. In year 22, Carter can still dunk like no one's business and fans are clamoring for one final dunk contest appearance.
Recently, Carter had fans even more excited for a potential dunk contest appearance as Trae Young posted an alley-oop video to Twitter. As you can see, Carter pulls off the spin-around dunk to perfection and had the whole gym in awe.
Fans immediately began reacting to the video with words of encouragement for the 42-year-old. It remains to be seen whether or not Carter will actually participate in the contest although one can only dream. If he does attend the event, fans will certainly give him the respect he deserves. It would be the perfect farewell to a storied career.
