Three Minneapolis Officers Found Guilty of Violating George Floyd's Civil Rights

Three former Minneapolis police officers, Tou Thao, J. Alexander Keung, and Thomas Lane, have been convicted of violating the civil rights of George Floyd. According to Newsy‘s Jamal Andress, all three officers were convicted of civil rights charges for depriving Floyd of medical care.

The officers were present when former officer Derek Chauvin pressed his knee into the neck of Floyd for over nine minutes in May of 2020. In addition to depriving medical care, Thao and Lane were charged with failing to intervene. Chauvin was found guilty of murder in 2021.

In the video, Keung and Lane referred to Chauvin as the senior officer. Keung also knelt on Floyd’s back. Lane physically held Floyd’s legs.

Conviction of a federal civil rights violation that results in death carries a punishment of life in prison or even death, but such sentences are uncommon. Sentencing will occur at a later date.

Baby Keem has released a new music video for “16,” his most recent single. Jonas Lindstroem directed the video, which depicts Keem’s fragile and colorful love life. The stark production video, which stands out as one of the 21-year-old Los Angeles-based star’s most personal declarations yet, brings these feelings to life in an elegant and vivid manner.

The song “16” is from Keem’s album The Melodic Blue, which debuted at #5 on Billboard’s 200 chart. Keem, who just made his debut as a featured artist on Ye’s DONDA 2, will go on a twenty-eight-city North American tour this spring.

Russ Spits Bars About His Success On “WHAT ARE YALL”

by

Back with his weekly delivery is Russ who switches things up on his latest single. Last week, Russ gave fans “Real,” a track where he spiced things up in a more laid-back vibe. This time around, he’s back to beasting out bars about his successes and impact on “WHAT ARE YALL.” The single arrives with a visual where Russ performs while carefully positioned in front of a screen that shows Kanye West’s jeen-yuhs docuseries in the background.

Russ is known for his regularly scheduled releases but he has yet to offer up news regarding his next project. He began 2020 by dropping off Shake the Snow Globe and closed out 2021 with Chomp 2. He’s an independent artist who built his reputation on releasing new music on his own terms and at a steady pace, so fans are expecting to hear much more from Russ throughout 2022. 

Stream “WHAT ARE YALL” and share your thoughts.

Quotable Lyrics

Seven hundred thousand for an hour
That’s the latest offer
I put in work I had to earn my credentials
I wrote the book on independence
I’m on my third Presidential

They include “Fortnight,” “Young N Dumb,” “Unapologetic,” Heatin Up,” and “Start Up Again.”

Rubi Rose Gets Freaky At A Family Dinner In Her Scandelous Video For ‘I Like’

by

Rubi Rose has forged a path of her own in the music world after she began her career back in 2019. Prior to that, she initially gained fame for being the main model in Migos’ music video for “Bad And Boujee.” Over the years, Rose has grown her fan base and legitimized her position as a female rapper through solid releases like her debut project, 2020’s For The Streets which presented songs with PartyNextDoor, Future, and Cardi B. After a quiet 2021, Rubi is back in action with her brand new single, “I Like.”

On the new track, Rubi lists the things she enjoys in a man, whether it be their appearance, personality, or the way they treat her. The song also arrives with a matching visual. In it, Rubi is sitting at the dinner table with her family when they ask her what she likes in a man. Initially reluctant to answer the question, Rubi offers a raunchy response that also finds her twerking on the table and showing off her assets.

Rubi’s latest release comes after she appeared on “Nasty,” a raunchy collaboration between herself, Latto, Rich The Kid, and Flo Milli. Last year, she was also selected to the 2021 XXL Freshman Class list alongside names like 42 Dugg, Blxst, Pooh Shiesty, and more.
