Hip-hop artist 42 Dugg announced the “4eva Us, Neva Them” Tour, a 20-city, cross-country trek that will include stops in major cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Denver, Chicago, Atlanta, Houston, Washington DC and more. He will be joined by some of hip-hop’s hottest rising artists such as Yungeen Ace, Cartier, Audi.Money and Chicken.P

The tour announcement comes after Dugg unleashed his debut album, 4eva Us, Neva Them, in July that included star-studded collaborations like Lil Baby, Meek Mill, Sexyy Red, Jeezy, EST Gee, Rylo Rodriguez and Blac Youngsta.

Dugg elaborated on his goal for the album in an interview with Billboard, nothing that he “just wanted to show the people the growth of what type of headspace I’m in, and what I’ve been through and how far along I’ve come.”

4eva Us, Neva Them marked the 2021 XXL Freshman star’s first full project since 2022, a collaborative effort with EST Gee titled Last Ones Left, which debuted at No. 7 on the Billboard 200. Dugg’s last solo project, Free Dem Boyz, came in 2021 and debuted at No. 8 on the Billboard 200.

Nipsey Hussle’s Son Looks Just Like Him And Fans Are Blown Away

by

Nipsey Hussle was known for his work ethic and his integrity. He was arguably more known for these aspects than his music, despite rising to fame as a rapper. Nipsey’s death in 2019 was tragic on many levels, but perhaps the most tragic was the fact that his only son would grow up without a father. Kross Ermias Asghedom turned eight years old on August 31. His mom, Lauren London, celebrated by posting a rare photo of him on Instagram. Fans were immediately struck by how much Kross looked like his late father.

It’s easy to see why. Kross looks like the spitting image of Nipsey Hussle, right down to the features and hairstyle. London posted the photo alongside a touching poem. “My little wise one,” she wrote. “You are the hope and promise. God shines through you. Happy 8th Birthday to my baby.” The comment section was flooded with support for the family, and glowing comparisons between Kross and his father. “Lil Nip,” one user wrote. “Watch what his father do through him,” another write. “His time is coming and we will see Kross rise high.”

Nipsey Hussle’s Son Celebrated His 8th Birthday

Nipsey Hussle talked about the joys of fatherhood several times during his lifetime. The rapper made a point of being a positive role model and consistent force in Kross’ life. “I think the definition of fatherhood is consistency,” he asserted. He also noted that a father needs to be thorough, and make sure that he’s laying the groundwork for his family to strive. He said something similar during a sit down with Steph Curry. “Every day when I take [my daughter] to school, we have a little convo that we have before she gets out of the car,” Nipsey told the NBA superstar. “[It goes] like ‘what is integrity?’ ‘Integrity is doing the right thing when nobody is looking.’”

This mindset is something that has lived on beyond Nipsey himself. In 2023, Kelly Rowland cited Nipsey Hussle’s words when discussing the way she raises her own sons. “I wanted my boys to have integrity and I got that from Nipsey Hussle,” Rowland told Parents Magazine. “I want them to be the kind of men who are proud of themselves. That’s really important to me — being good decision-makers.” Kross will no doubt make his father proud.

Playboi Carti Forced To Move After Fans Discovered His Home Address

by

Playboi Carti has developed a cult reputation among rap fans. He doesn’t release chart-topping singles, but his aesthetic and his mysterious persona has resulted in a level of obsession matched only by Frank Ocean listeners. There are upsides and downsides to this. The former is exemplified by the acclaim that Playboi Carti’s music gets. The latter is exemplified by the scrutiny and analysis that even the smallest details in his personal life receive online. Case in point: the rapper had to move when his home address was uncovered by a handful of fans.

Playboi Carti dropped this discomforting tidbit during a recent Billboard profile. He detailed the lengthy process of recording his last album, Whole Lotta Red, and the difficulties that ensued. The anticipation grew so high that fans began to stalk Carti and members of his family. He told the outlet that fans sent flowers to his mom’s house. Worse still, he was forced to uproot and move when his own home address leaked online. Most artists would voice frustration with this blatant lack of privacy, but Playboi Carti was adamant that he was still appreciative of those who supported him.

Fans Also Sent Flowers To Playboi Carti’s Mother

“I’m very blessed,” the rapper asserted. “But it is frustrating because [that’s where] we have to lay our heads.” While part of the fan obsession (and frustration) stems from the desire to hear new music, Carti refuses to rush his process. The rapper has been working on his third studio album for four years, and he has yet to announce a proper release date. Erin Larsen, the manager of Playboi Carti’s Opium label, was fully supportive of Carti’s process and maintaining his privacy while doing so.

“He’s giving people his absolute best,” Larsen told the outlet. “Things that he wants to put his stamp on. It delays the process. You don’t want to see the Mona Lisa in an art museum before it is a finished piece of work.” The Billboard profile is a sign that Playboi Carti’s album is impending, but the mystery around it remains intact. Repercussions be damned, the rapper is going to keep the fans waiting until he is ready.

Lil Wayne & Nicki Minaj Bodied “Mercy” On “Dedication 4”

by

There’s no doubt that Lil Wayne is one of the greatest MCs to ever spit into a microphone. He may not be at the peak of his powers anymore; however, his influence and tons of classic projects make him an irreplaceable figure in the genre’s history. He did most of his dominating throughout the 2000s and into the mid 2010s, which is obviously another reason why he’s so highly regarded. Making this longevity all the more impressive is how often he was dropping. On top of streaming platforms, mixtape sites such as DatPiff were just another area where Weezy ran things. The Louisiana native was able to do this with his Dedication series, perhaps most notably.

Across the now six installments in this fan-favorite series, he gave his best stuff to tons of popular beats across hip-hop. Dedication 4 saw Lil Wayne attack “Mercy” by Kanye West, a mid-2010’s club banger that still hits today. Working with Wayne on this interpolation is none other than Nicki Minaj, one of his closest pals and collaborators. Obviously with this track officially turning 12 today, we know how it goes. But this track still wows us all these years later thanks to their show-stopping flows and hilarious bars/double entendres. Relive Lil Wayne’s “remix” of “Mercy” with the link below.

However, the prosecution filed a completely new indictment just two weeks later. Now Boosie’s facing charges of interstate commerce as a convicted felon and knowingly possessing a firearm while dealing with abuse of a controlled substance.
