Democratic National Committee Chair Releases Statement on Biden Nominating Kentaji Brown Jackson for Supreme Court
Last week, President Joe Biden nominated the first Black woman to the Supreme Court, Kentaji Brown Jackson. The next step for Brown Jackson will be a confirmation, showing the forthcoming battle between Democratic leaders and the believed pushback from republicans. According to NBC News, IL representative and White House and Senate Judiciary Committee Chair Dick Durbin aim to have the confirmation complete by April 9, with the inclusion of Republican voters.
In response to Biden’s nomination, Democratic National Committee Chair Jamie Harrison released a statement in support of the selection:
“Today, President Biden delivered on yet another campaign promise. In doing so, he has made history. By announcing he will nominate Judge Jackson to the Supreme Court, President Biden has put forward an exceptionally qualified, talented jurist to serve on our nation’s highest court.
Judge Jackson will bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the Court. Her experience as a public defender will add a vital perspective. In short, Judge Jackson will live up to the legacy of Justice Breyer and the other qualified jurists that have served and continue to serve on the Supreme Court. I fully expect the Senate will agree and confirm Judge Jackson with bipartisan support — as they have three times before.
Judge Jackson will also shatter a longstanding glass ceiling in the judicial branch of our government. America’s greatest strength is the nation’s diversity. Our government works best when it represents and reflects the diverse people it serves. For too long, Black women have not seen themselves represented on our nation’s highest court — a court that renders decisions that affect their daily lives on everything from reproductive freedom to voting rights.
When the Senate confirms Judge Jackson, that will finally change. I am so excited for the country to be reminded once again that there is nothing a Black woman cannot do. She can be vice president. She can shape the future of our nation. And yes, she can serve on the Supreme Court.”

Dizzy Wright Releases New Single “24 Hours” Ft. Xzibit
Dizzy Wright is an independent artist and owner of the clothing brand and record company “Still Movin.” A thriving businessman who even has his own cannabis brand, it may come as a surprise that Dizzy still finds time to release music as his new song, “24 Hours” featuring Xzibit, challenges the world to match his work ethic.
DJ Hoppa and Puda & Soy is Real kill the beat with drums that sound like a combination of rock fills and finger drum pounds – the type of sound to make a rapper go off in legendary fashion as they achieved just that. Dizzy and Xzibit overdeliver with verses that disregard any suggestion that “We’ve Got the Same 24 Hours” is an unfair adage. The song is a chant to enemies, potential challengers, and the public alike to compete with the titans who are Xzibit and Dizzy Wright.
Wright is proudly plant-based – found his niche well before he started working with Hopsin in 2011 and later went on to join XXL’s Freshman Class of 2013 after winning the “Peoples Choice” vote. Rest assured Dizzy is going to continue taking time to cook up and grow his artistry as he’s proud to be collaborating with the legendary Xzibit having after having grown as an artist recording “The Growing Process” in Xzibit’s Los Angeles studio in 2015 and working his way up to creating a song with Xzibit himself. The work’s not finished as it’s only up from here.
“Listen / We got the same 24 hours/ they overlook the message ’cause they’re focused on the power”
Following up on Dizzy Wright, Xzibit goes off:
“I’mma headbutt the blunts/ Rock the whole shit back to front/ Cause calamity, humanity crushed/ Kill’em witta gentleman’s touch”-Xzibit, “24 Hours”
Dizzy had the following to say about working with X to the Z:
“This collab with Xzibit means a lot to me on so many levels. Not only am I proud of the record and how dope it is I feel like if your going to work with a artist like X you gotta make sure you’re coming correct. I recorded my album “The growing process” back in 2015 and most of that album was recorded in Los Angeles at Xzibit’s studio. I never felt like I had a record that was hard enough for him back then so I didn’t try to force it. Now that me and Dj Hoppa are showing what we can bring to the table together I knew we had to level up and make it happen. Let’s just say It feels good to finally lock in with another west coast legend and I hope this record reminds people that we all have the same 24 hours. Any and everything can be done if you apply yourself. #StillMovin”

Remy Ma Makes History With Successful Launch of Female Battle Rap League, Chrome 23
Yesterday (Feb. 27), history was made in the battle rap world. Remy Ma officially launched her all-female battle rap league, Chrome 23, with the inaugural “Queens Get The Money” inaugurated in New York City. In collaboration with Hot 97, the event was live-streamed on the veteran platform’s website and YouTube and hosted a voting system for each battle. It is the first time in battle rap history where the mysterious world of battle rap and mainstream hip-hop media join forces, ultimately toting battle rap culture to new heights.
The “Queens Get The Money” battle card match-ups included Yoshi G versus Pristavia, Casey Jay versus O’fficial, 40 B.A.R.R.S. versus QB Black Diamond, and Ms. Hustle versus Couture. Each battle was curated by Remy Ma, with careful consideration of her well-acquainted stance on modern battle rap culture.
Yoshi G, a California native, while she has been active in battle rap for the least of the last five years, she is new to the ranks of popular female battle rappers who sparred with Pristavia, a Brooklyn representative who is fresh to the performance of battle rap; reaching popularity after just a year of impressive battles. Pristavia won against Yoshi G at 72% according to the voting system and Yoshi at 28%.
Remy Ma tested the waters of curiosity as the match-up between Casey Jay and O’fficial was deemed tricky, as the two battle rappers are members of the same crew, The Bardashians, where they share a sisterhood with fellow battle rapper, Jaz the Rapper. Also, both are springing from a losing streak, despite Casey Jay standing as a present face for female battle rap. Many battle rap enthusiasts predicted the two close friends would not tackle the battle with their signature vigor. However, such was proven wrong. While facing an injury, Casey Jay still took to the stage, even though their performance ability was limited, which is a signature for Jay. O’fficial showcased several moments of nostalgia to her most prime moments. The New Orleans native ultimately won against her Bardashian sister at a mighty 83% and Texas belle Casey Jay at 17%.
QB Black Diamond, a Connecticut native a veteran in the world of battle rap, made their return to the scene after a two-year hiatus to take on female battle rap icon, 40 B.A.R.R.S. of Boston. Arguably one of the most anticipated battles of the card, the two have an extensive history that was bombarded with turmoil. It was evident in their face-off, where the two took verbal and mental blows to one another, ultimately taking on the role for the tensest match-up out of the entire card. 40 B.A.R.R.S. delivered a signature performance with elite haymakers and metaphors, validating her prediction on QB’s adapted angles. As battle rapper, Ms. Fit, who commentated alongside fellow battle rap veteran E-Hart and battle rap analyst Reda, expressed, QB came and showcased what she does best, top bars of disrespect. 40 B.A.R.R.S. won the battle at a whopping 88%, and QB at 12%.
Ms. Hustle, a Harlem native who is respectively a legend in battle rap as the first female to battle on the stage of the Ultimate Rap League and breed popularity to pioneering female battle rap league Queen of the Ring, took on one of the culture’s most treasured acts, Couture. A Rhode Island representative by way of Liberia, Couture’s presence on the Queens Get The Money card is a reappearance back to the main stage after a two-year hiatus (aside from catching an easy body against Vic Wallace last summer on Takeova Battle League). Both Ms. Hustle and Couture are regarded as top-tier battle rappers, with Hustle’s pertinent showmanship and Couture’s clever wordplay, which were two factors of judgment for last night’s performance. Overall, Couture came out as the victor of the battle at a reasonable 65%, while Ms. Hustle came in at 35%, which some battle rap enthusiasts might say is debatable. However, it is essential to note there is a difference in perception between the voters who watched the live stream and those present in the building.
The event also featured voting categories such as “Battle of the Night,” awarded to Ms. Hustle versus Couture; “Body of the Night,” awarded to 40 B.A.R.R.S; and “Best 3 Rounds of The Night,” also awarded to 40 B.A.R.R.S.
Several hip-hop stars embraced the event, including Fat Joe, Maino, Dave East, and Lil Mama. According to the commentators, hip-hop legend Rah Digga was reportedly in attendance, alongside Lady Luck, whose classic 2004 rap battle set the precedence for contemporary female battle rap. Fellow battle rappers Shooney Da Rapper, Murda Mook, Chayna Ashley, Loaded Lux, Tsu Surf, Tori Doe, Chess, Bill Collector, and URL personality Nunu Nellz were also in attendance, apace with fellow league owners Babs Bunny and Debo of Queen of the Ring.
