Vince Staples Updates Fan On Future Of His Netflix Show, Admits He Was Surprised By It’s Success

May 27, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Vince Staples says that he’s still figuring out the direction he’s going to go in with the future of his Netflix series, The Vince Staples Show, but is excited by the level of success it achieved after it’s first season. He provided the update on the series during an interview with Rolling Stone to promote the release of his new album, Dark Times.

“I’m grateful,” he said. “I got to do something that isn’t really done on that network, or just done in general, with trying to break format and conventional comedy. I’m just trying some new things. So, I’m very happy that people embraced it, and we’ll see how they feel about it moving forward. We’re still trying to see what’s going to happen with that. But, looking forward to other opportunities in the medium.”

From there, Staples explained that he was used to the response to his work being more polarizing and was caught off guard this time around. “I don’t really make things that people [enjoy] like that, just to be honest,” he said. “I think I have a niche fan base. I’ve never had an extreme level of success. So, I’m always open to people not liking something or it not [being digested] right. I was honestly surprised by the way that it was received. But, yeah, man, I just feel like this show went very well, and especially for first-time writing, first-time producing, first-time starring in all of these things, I’m grateful for that.”

Drake Is Reportedly Now A Resident Of Texas Following The Purchase Of A $15M Estate

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Go big or go home. For Drake, these two are mutually exclusive. The “Taylor Made Freestyle” rapper has amassed an enormous fortune throughout his career.

While he doesn’t mind splurging on flashy pieces of jewelry (most notably a few from Pharrell’s collection), that isn’t the only place he has spent big bucks. According to Texas Monthly, Drake is now a resident of The Lone Star State after purchasing a $15 million estate.

Drake has publicly declared his love for several major cities in the state, including Austin, Dallas, and of course Houston. However, the musician’s latest home is reportedly located on the outskirts of Brenham. The 313-acre will afford Drake an invaluable level of privacy due to its former purpose. Prior to becoming the home of the rap superstar, the estate served as a retreat, known publicly as The Inn at Dos Brisas.

Despite the recent listing of his Beverly Hills mansion , the publication claims his seven figure purchase in Texas closed last fall. Initially, the details surrounding the estate’s sell were anonymous.

The publication listed the amenities of the property as a bar-equipped lounge area, fireside dining room, large swimming pool, spa with an expansive sundeck, five haciendas, and four casitas. It is unclear if Drake plans on living in Texas full-time, but should he choose to, this home will surely fit his needs.

Still am. What’s unfortunate is that YOU — who’s known for me decades — would choose to go on X to expressed whatever dissent you feel instead of calling me directly. But I get it. It’s a pattern several folks have used vs me recently, suddenly forgetting communication we’ve always had. So be it. I root for JB always—a great dude and player. But the @celtics have to close the deal.” Check out Jaylen Brown’s response to Stephen A. Smith below..

Angel Reese Reacts To Concerns Over Her WNBA Salary

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Angel Reese has addressed the drama surrounding her salary with the WNBA. Appearing on ESPN, she explained that she’s not too worried about her compensation and instead, she plays basketball for the love of the game. She’s currently playing on a four-year deal with the Chicago Sky worth $343K.

“I mean, obviously, people thought me leaving college–I would take a huge pay gap and pay drop,” she began. “I wasn’t getting paid in college, so that check that I do get here is a bonus, I mean, being able to play for what, four to five months, and get $75,000 on top of the other endorsements that I’m doing, I think it’s a plus for me, I mean, I play the game I love, not for the money, I play because I love basketball and genuinely love basketball. And now that I’m a pro and being able to continue to work with these brands long term, I think that’s something people don’t really realize.”

She also discussed getting endorsement deals. “I love that the brands want to work with us and continue to want to work with us,” she said. “I want people to know the deals don’t stop in college when you go to the pros, they continue, and I feel like they’ve even grown even more.” Reese joined the Chicago Sky in the 2024 WNBA Draft after the team selected her with the seventh overall pick.

Rah Swish Teams Up With Rowdy Rebel, Jim Jones, & More On His New Project, “Elevator Music”

May 26, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Rah Swish has returned with a new project in the form of Elevator Music, a 14-track mixtape featuring collaborations with Rowdy Rebel, Jim Jones, Lonny Love, Honey Bxby, and several more artists. It shows Swish diversify his sound more than ever before.

Fans appear to be loving the new music. When Swish announced Elevator Music’s release on Instagram, they shared their excitement in the comments section. “A LOTTA BIG TUNES ON HERE,” one user wrote. Another added: “Needed something for the gym.” Others left behind plenty of fire emojis.

Rah Swish Returns With “Elevator Music”

Swish is perhaps best known for his collaboration with Pop Smoke on “Brush Em” back in 2021. That song peaked at number 1 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Billboard chart at the time. It appeared on Smoke’s posthumous album, Faith. Prior to the new album, he most recently released the mixtape 9 Shots in the Ruger in 2023.

Swish recently sat down with Revolt for an interview about the new project, during which he revealed where the idea for the title came from. “I had no name for about two months and was just trying to figure out how to flip elevation,” he said. “The project has a different vibe from myself and a mix of different songs. We’re trying to elevate and go to the top. One day, I was in the hotel pushing a button, and it wasn’t working because I had forgot to tap the key first. That’s when I thought, “Oh s**t, I can’t get up the elevator.” I just put it together and called it Elevator Music.” Elsewhere in the interview, he discussed nearly collaborating on another song with Pop Smoke, possibly working with Cash Cobain in the future, and more. Check out Swish’s latest project on Apple Music and Spotify above. Be on the lookout for further updates on Rah Swish on HotNewHipHop.
