The end of this year will mark the second anniversary of Juice WRLD’s death. The SoundCloud era heavyweight passed away in December of 2019 following a fatal accident, subsequently leaving the hip-hop community to mourn the loss of the legend. Despite his passing, his legacy has been kept alive through multiple posthumous projects. 

He released his first posthumous album Legends Never Die in 2020, which debuted at the top of the Billboard chart. He’s also appeared on the projects of numerous other artist’s in a guest feature capacity, including most recently on Migos’ Culture III. Now, according to his team, he’s set to release another posthumous release dubbed The Party Never Ends, as well as starring in his very own HBO Documentary.

In an interview, his team revealed, “We got an EP coming out called The Party Never Ends, Lil Uzi Vert is gonna be on there, a few other people is gonna be on there.” He added, “Stop leaking f*cking music bro. Weird ass n*ggas…ruining it for everyone else.”

This will mark the second posthumous release from Juice. Expected to arrive sometime soon, the EP will likely include more star-studded features. 

Additionally, he’s allegedly set to appear in his very own HBO documentary. There are no further details on when to expect the upcoming film, but we’ll keep you updated on any subsequent developments. Let us know if you’re looking forward to seeing more material from Juice down in the comments. 

There are few battle rappers who’ve managed to turn into recording artists but there are even fewer mainstream rappers who are able to survive in that particular setting. A few years ago, Drake hinted at a leap into the battle rap arena but that never came to fruition. Instead, he’s opted to support the battle rap circuit through his star power.

Last night, the rapper was in the building for URL NOME XI event where he made his presence felt. Not only did he offer an update on CLB but he upped the ante during Geechi Gotti vs. Rum Nitty. The rapper put up an additional $50K to the pot, making things a little bit spicier. However, it also ended up being an opportunity where the busy Canadian rapper to catch up with some friends, and potential rivals.

If you recall, Drake once nearly got into the battle rap arena with Murda Mook for Blackout 5. He ultimately declined the match up but he told Mook that first, he would have to be Surf Tsu. Many simply thought that Drake was a tad bit shook but he apparently is still curious about what the results would’ve been. The rapper took to the ‘Gram after last night’s event where he shared a photo of himself and Murda Mook in the cut.

“Me and @murdamookez talking shit about our bars for the battle that never happened,” Drizzy captioned the photo. “Woulda smoked you.”

Drake is still playing a big role within the battle rap community. Perhaps, we’ll see Drake try his hand at battle rapping following the release of Certified Lover Boy.

Do you think Drake would survive against Murda Mook? Comment below with your thoughts. 

A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie has been relatively low-key in 2021. Aside from the occasional feature here and there, his last solo material, aside from the recently released “24 Hours” with Lil Durk, was back in 2020 with the Artist 2.0 (Deluxe). This year, he very publically split with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his children Ella Bands. 

Previously identified with his signature crooked smile, it seems like his interpersonal relationships are not the only thing that have changed for the Bronx native. Taking to TikTok to share his new pearly whites, the rapper debuted his updated smile for fans.

Last night, the YouTubers and TikTokers faced off in the latest event for celebrity boxing. Of course, when two of the biggest social media platforms link up for an event, there’s going to be some blockbuster acts touching down for performances. Lil Baby was among those who hit the stage but before he did, he sat down with Charlamagne Tha God for a brief interview. While Baby remained apolitical in his preference between the YouTubers and TikTokers, he did seem interested in seeing some of his peers throw hands in the ring.

“I was telling you, man, we need to do this with the rappers,” Charlamagne told Baby who seemed keen on using the relationships he’s built within the industry to set up a hip-hop celebrity boxing match.

“I’m willin’ to help set it up,” Baby said.

“I think you can pull it off,” replied Charlamagne. “What I’m noticin’, everybody like to talk to each other on social media but, man, they could put some gloves on and hit the ring and handle they business.”

With friction within hip-hop circles at an all-time high, Baby thought that an event of that nature would be “a hell of a situation.” Charlamagne added that the YouTubers and TikTokers are “showing more heart” than the rappers to which Baby replied, “Naw, we just gotta set it up.”

Who do you want to see step into the boxing ring? Sound off in the comments below.

The “For the Love of New York” artist was arrested and booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center at 8 a.m. Saturday (June 12) on multiple charges including battery on a police officer, resisting arrest, and criminal mischief. His mother later confirmed she was able to bail out Polo and everyone else involved, while Polo himself spoke out early Sunday morning for the first time since the arrest.

“They playing foul in Miami & data sh*t been like that for a minute,” explained the rapper on Twitter. “1 of the officers told us they was on us since we got Off our jet…,” he added, highlighting the predatory nature of Miami PD. 

Before Polo took to Twitter himself, his mother spoke out, “I have tbaby. I’ve bonded out Polo and everyone. I’ve also, of course, notified my attorney. I’ll be relieved when I have everyone out of jail safely. Thank you guys for your support.”

On the brightside, Polo’s third studio album Hall of Fame is expected to debut at the summit of the Billboard Hot 100 chart ahead of Migos’ Culture III. If sales figure estimates hold true, it’ll be his first No.1 album.

Clarke also went into detail over the different roles the cast played off-camera. According to the actress, many of the actors on set offered therapeutic advice to one another in between tapings. “I think everyone probably had their own individual ones for me, Jacob and Natalie had to deal with a lot of ‘Hey guys, I’ve got some really big questions about life and the universe and everything,” Clarke said. 

During the interview, Clarke also mentioned future projects she’s currently working on. Her comic book, Mother of Madness, is set to be released soon. “There is a young woman who hates what her body does because when she’s on her period, weird stuff happens,” Clarke said of the comic book’s plot. “She’s a single mother. Her child has autism. And she stumbles upon people in need of help and she starts to realize that the things that she felt terrible about that she’d got every month were actually pretty thoughtful in fighting the greater good.”
