03 Greedo Releases Music Video For Maxo Kream Collab “R.I.C.O”

by

03 Greedo is making the most of his freedom. The Los Angeles rapper was locked up from 2018 to 2023, and has been on a roll ever since his release. The music video for his latest single, “R.I.C.O.,” is proof. 03 Greedo and Maxo Kream spit over an ominous beat that’s matched perfectly by the lo-fi aesthetic of the video. The camera switches between modern, hi-definition footage and grainy footage reminiscent of the 1990s. It’s a little retro, a little self-aware, and a lot of style.

The chill vibe of the the song’s first half is made all the impressive by the beat switch at the 1:41 mark. 03 Greedo and Maxo Kream kick their relaxed flows into high gear and deliver menacing bars about blasting snitches and serving time. “R.I.C.O.” also benefits from the chemistry between the two emcees. Greedo’s animated flow bounces off of Maxo’s deeper voice, creating a tension that carries throughout the track. The duo are clearly fans of each other, though, based on the fun interaction they have at the end of the video.

“R.I.C.O.” is a perfect example of Greedo’s appeal. The track doesn’t reinvent the wheel, but it sounds and feels good. The rapper talked about his particular skill set during an interview with The Face. “A lot of people make music but it doesn’t feel good,” he explained. “My s**t? It feels good. You can feel every word. The street songs? Even if you never held a gun, it makes you feel like you gon’ go ride tonight.”

What are your thoughts on this brand-new music video for “R.I.C.O.” by 03 Greedo and Maxo Kream? Is this the best track Greedo has dropped in 2024?

Warren G Shuts Down Rumor That He Was Beaten Up By Dr. Dre

by

Warren G is Death Row royalty. The rapper was one of the key members of the West Coast crew, courtesy of hits like “Regulate” and “This DJ.” According to Death Row co-founder Suge Knight, however, Warren G didn’t always get along with his peers. During the April 14 episode of Knight’s podcast, Collect Call With Suge Knight, he claimed that Warren G was beaten up by his own step brother, Dr. Dre. The claim that was denied by the Regulator himself.

Suge Knight started the episode by reflecting on Death Row’s heyday, but things took a turn for the awkward when Knight switched to the Warren G story. “You know when you was trying to use the phone when you wasn’t supposed to in front of Andre — your brother — slapped your a*s around,” he stated. “You start[ed] saying, ‘Okay blood. Okay blood. Please don’t do it no more, I’m sorry.’ You can say that that didn’t happen, but everybody knows it’s true.”

Warren G Exposes Knight’s “Tough Guy” Act

Despite Knight’s insistence that the incident was true, Warren G wasn’t having it. The rapper hopped on Instagram to call out Knight. “History would repeat itself, because n***a you wasn’t the only n***a in the room, n***a,” he reasoned. “You wasn’t by yourself. It was other people in the room, too. I’m not gonna say no names because like you said, we don’t talk…So why you on here talking? Let that sh*t go, man.” Warren G also criticized Knight’s reputation as a tough guy. He claims he defended Death Row’s honor whenever Knight got into trouble in the 1990s. “When you was at the comedy store,” Warren G added. “Fighting that little buff a*s n***a, who saved your muthaf***in ass? Me.”

To call Suge Knight’s reputation dubious would be an understatement. The ex-bodyguard is currently serving 28 years in prison, and will not be eligible for parole until 2034. Warren G, meanwhile, is getting ready to go on tour with fellow West Coast icons Snoop Dogg and DJ Quik. The trio will be embarking on the Cali To Canada tour, which kicks off June 3rd in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Kenneth Perry Requests Court Permission To Go On Pink Friday 2 World Tour

plea deal Nicki Minaj Kenneth Petty LA

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is asking a court for permission to travel out of the country so he can join her on tour in Europe … and he says he’ll be needed overseas.

Perry says he isn’t just looking to globe-trot with Nicki for fun — on the contrary, he says it’s necessary to join her on the European leg of her “Pink Friday 2” world tour for a bunch of reasons, mainly to provide childcare for their son.

The start date he lists for the anticipated travel schedule is April 17, 2024 … and he says there will be stops in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania.

Petty says he plans to be back in the U.S. by July 14, 2024, right after the tour wraps up — and is hoping for a green light to join his wife. According to the court documents, his probation officer hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request. However, if Kenneth’s request gets approved, he’ll likely need to provide the officer with a detailed travel itinerary and also check in once he’s back.

As previously reported, Kenneth is currently serving three years probation for failing to register as a sex offender in California. If a judge doesn’t sign off on the request, Perry will not be joining his wife on her world tour.
