Ukrainian Soldier Dips Bullets In Pig Lard To Fight Muslim Chechens!

by
The official Twitter account of the National Guard of Ukraine shared a video that shows Azov fighters greasing bullets with pig fat, which will be used against Muslim Chechens who have been deployed in Ukraine. The use of pig fat to grease bullets fired at the Muslim Chechens deployed by the Russian army is for many a reminder of the Revolt of 1857 when the British had used similar techniques against Indians. The British soldiers had launched guns which were rumored to use pig fat cartridges and had to be bitten off. Pigs were considered to be unclean by Muslims. Posted By Persist

Thutmose Takes A Trip On “Lucy”

by

It feels like it’s been a minute since we’ve received some solo vibes from Thutmose. The rapper released his last single, “Bigger Picture” in June 2021 and has remained somewhat under the radar since. From the looks of his Instagram page, he’s been cooking up a lot of new music lately. However, it’s been nearly four years since he dropped off Man On Fire and fans are anticipating a new body of work.

Thankfully, it seems like it could be coming sometime soon. On Friday, he slid through with his latest single, “Lucy.” Breezy production takes the lead as Thutmose subtly details his experiences with LSD.

Last year, the rapper revealed Best of Both Worlds: Side A & B including the single, “Love In The Morning” with Rema and R3HAB.

Check his new song below.

Quotable Lyrics
I popped a pill and now she popped it on me
Sloppy toppy got my vision blurry
She tryna lick it like a McFlurry
I shoot from 30 like I’m Stephen Curry

The Alchemist & Kool G Rap Connect On “Diesel”

by

The Alchemist isn’t slowing down anytime soon. Over the past decade, he’s played a pivotal role in bringing underground names to wider audiences and bridging the gaps between the OGs that paved the way and the artists emerging now that they’ve influenced. In the last year, he’s unveiled projects with Boldy James and Armand Hammer. Most recently, he linked up with Curren$y for Continuance, their third collaborative project together following FETTI alongside Freddie Gibbs and Covert Coup.

Just before the month of February comes to a close, the producer released a brand new collaboration with Kool G Rap, “Diesel.” The chemistry between the two remains strong, years after they first connected with Alc offering a smooth, jazzy beat that provides a perfect canvas for Kool G Rap to bring his vision to life.

Quotable Lyrics
Massive rocks turn city blocks to Stonehenges
Stone dependents, they visit that methadone clinic
Every breadwinner, every kid in my zone mimic
Keys to the city chase every dollar that roam in it

“Euphoria” Season 3 Rumoured 2024 Premiere Date Has Fans Missing The HBO Hit Already

by

Last night’s Euphoria season finale was an explosive one, with all of our favourite characters coming together on-screen to wrap up the eight episodes of sheer chaos and drama that made up the show’s second installment. As Pride points out, the finale only aired hours ago, but dedicated fans are already eager to see what the recently-confirmed third season will have in store for us.

Unfortunately, there’s been some speculation online that we won’t be getting any answers from the East Highland High School crew until 2024, as lead actress Zendaya – who plays Rue – will be booked and busy filming Dune 2 and Challengers this year, leaving her little time for any other projects.

It’s also been noted that the actress liked a tweet with some telling information, unofficially confirming the far-away premiere date/ “Tomorrow is really the last episode of Euphoria until 2024 huh :(” the post reads. “Wtf! Zendaya liked your post which means it’s true,” another user speculated, providing a screenshot with receipts.

The recently concluded season of the HBO hit faced delays as well, although those were due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic as production halted just days into filming back in 2020.

See how other Twitter users reacted to news of Euphoria‘s rumoured 2024 premiere below, and make sure to let us know what you thought of the show’s season two finale (if you tuned in) in the comments.

Jim Jones On Not Signing Drake: He’s An Actor “In A Wheelchair” On “Disney”

by

Drake’s meteoric rise from child actor to bonafide rap star is something we might see for a while. Drake’s first major introduction to the masses was back during his days on Degrassi: The Next Generation where he played Jimmy Brooks, a role that earned him the nickname Wheelchair Jimmy. However, his hustle as a rapper was totally separate from his character on television. Unfortunately, not many people were able to see that.

During a recent interview, Jim Jones recounted the story where he was first introduced to Drake’s music. He explained Alan Grunblatt, the current president of MNRK Music Group, called him about the then-budding Canadian. “Alan was like, ‘I got this guy named Drake, uh, he’s an actor, he’s on Degrassi.’ I’m like, ‘Who the fuck is Drake on Degrassi?’ He let me hear him rapping like this boy could rap his ass off,” Jones admitted. However, he was taken aback after seeing a picture of Drake.

“I’m like, ‘Boy, what do you mean? What am I going to do with boy? He’s an actor, he’s in a wheelchair on like  — what is it, Disney Channel?’ I’m like, ‘Boy, I don’t know how to make this work out,'” Jones continued. 

“Once again, I just wasn’t seeing past what I seen in front of me,” he added before praising how Lil Wayne built Drake up. “Weezy was smart enough to do so, and I remember being on another tour in the back of the bus and hearing Weezy and Drake rapping, and Drake saying something about Princess Diana and it’s going crazy. I’m like ‘Wow, life is crazy. This n***a is dead nasty, fuck what he look like.’”
