Earlier today, Kid Cudi announced that Denzel Curry would be supporting him for seven of the shows on his To The Moon World Tour. And while that’s a good look for Curry, it’s also a major flex for the rapper as he just announced his own headlining tour at the same time.
Curry — who recently called himself “the best rapper alive” — will be supporting his album, Melt My Eyez See Your Future, which came out in March and is one of Uproxx’s Best Hip-Hop Albums of 2022 so far. Meanwhile, Curry popped into Power 106 this week to drop an LA Leakers freestyle over Lil Durk’s “Ahhh Ha” & Jeezy’s “I’m Just Sayin.” “I murder everything that I’m touchin’, you feel me,” he said before shifting from one beat to the other.

The-Dream Celebrates Working On Beyoncé’s “Break My Soul”
The-Dream says that he put his “entire heart” into working on Beyoncé’s latest single, “Break My Soul,” which she released last night. The song is the first track fans have heard from her upcoming album, Renaissance.
“I Love Making You Guys Happy and even if for a second I can give anything of my self to help get you through a moment in these crazy times I’d use my entire heart to do so,” The-Dream said in his post. “No one’s fucking sleeping tonight! @Beyonce we have done something special yet again my good friend.”

“Break My Soul” isn’t the first time that The-Dream has collaborated with Beyoncé. The two previously worked together for her hits, “Partition,” as well as, “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” The veteran producer has also collaborated with Britney Spears, Rihanna, Mariah Carey, Kanye West, and many more.
In addition to The-Dream, Beyoncé worked with Big Freedia on the new single. The two had collaborated previously for the 2016 song “Formation.”
“It feels surreal to be on the track with the Queen Beyonce once again,” Big Freedia tweeted. “I’m so honored to be (a part) of this special moment I’m forever grateful lord. Someone please catch me.”
Renaissance is scheduled for release on July 29. It will be Beyoncé’s first solo album since 2016’s Lemonade.
Check out The-Dream and Big Freedia’s latest tweets below as well as “Break My Soul.”
Ayesha Curry Grinds On Steph During Warriors Celebration
Steph Curry won his first-career NBA Finals MVP last week as his Golden State Warriors knocked off the Boston Celtics in six games to claim the NBA title. This was the team’s fourth title in just eight seasons, and consequently, it was also Curry’s fourth title as an individual.
Curry’s performance throughout the NBA Finals and the playoffs as a whole was simply sensational. He showed everyone why he is the best shooter of all time, and in the eyes of many, he is now securely a top 10 player in the history of the sport. Needless to say, Curry has quite the legacy, and he’s not done stacking accolades.

Yesterday, Curry got to celebrate his title with his teammates, and even his family. The Warriors held their parade in San Francisco, and every single player had a blast. It was a great way to give back to the fans, and there is no doubt that they loved every minute of it.
As for Steph and his wife Ayesha, they had a ton of fun at the after-party. For instance, Ayesha could be seen grinding on Steph while on the dance floor. The two seemed quite into it, and you can’t help but appreciate the fact that the Currys have been going strong throughout all of these years.

It’s clear that Steph is winning in all facets of life right now, and he has no plans to slow down, anytime soon.
Tyler, The Creator Praises Kendrick Lamar & Says He Loves “Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers”
Tyler, The Creator had some major praise for Kendrick Lamar while discussing the rapper’s latest album, Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers, on the All Star Series for Converse. In particular, Tyler says he loved the honesty present on the project.
“I think honesty is awesome — with yourself, with [other] people… I think when you’re making something, it doesn’t have to be so obvious, but just being honest with how you’re approaching shit is when the best shit comes,” he said. “N****s don’t know how to give each other hugs and I hope we get past that. We will, though. The younger kids is like, ‘What’s up, bro? You good?’ We gotta cut the bullshit and just start being super open and honest.”

He continued: “And that’s what Kendrick just did with his new album. I love that album, but I feel like he touches on shit that’s so, like, open and honest that some people can’t listen to it because they probably feel like he’s looking at them in their eyes and they’re like, ‘Oh, I can’t panic. Uhhh, I can’t listen to this. Put on something else so I can hit my dougie.’ And keep forgetting and numbing the shit that he’s talking about.”
Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was released last month, with features from Sampha, Taylour Paige, Summer Walker, Ghostface Killah, Baby Keem, Kodak Black, and more. The highly anticipated project is Lamar’s first album since 2017’s Damn.
Continuing on Lamar, he added: “Not saying the people that’s doing that went through what he’s saying, but it’s making them think about the shit that they’re covering up with that fucking, ‘I’m hard, I shoot people’ shit. I see it, I see through it.”
Tyler isn’t one to shy away from praise. He recently labeled Pharrell the “greatest of all time,” while performing at Something in the Water. The two recently collaborated on the single. “Cash In Cash Out.”
