Mickey Factz Fires Back At Royce Da 5’9″ On “Wraith”

by

A falling out among hip-hop titans occurred last week. Royce Da 5’9″ and Lupe Fiasco have been throwing shots at each other on wax, beginning with a series of diss tracks snippets posted to their respective Instagram pages last week. Of course, this makes for some great hip-hop beef between a few respected MCs, and hip-hop is in need of more rappers outbarring the next MC rather than screaming into the selfie camera on their iPhone.

Mickey Factz has since been dragged into the beef after Royce called him out during round one. Today, Factz unleashed his response to the Detroit rapper on his latest record, “Wraith.” Produced by AWSME J, Mickey Factz dives into the production, flexing his versatility, penmanship, and elite skillset as an MC.

Check the record out below.

Quotable Lyrics
Got ride of the pounds, had a literal weight plan
On Montgomery Ave. bad, I’m dealin’ that name brand
Catch Royce at the register, give him a face scan
This ain’t RJ, it’s Shawn Kemp, original Rainman

Avelino Unveils New Project “Ego Kills” Ft. Krept, Wretch 32 & More

by

Fans have been patiently waiting the arrival of a new project from Avelino. The 28-year-old rapper has remained relatively low-key in the past few years. He released his last album, No Bullshit in 2017. Since then, he’s only offered a handful of singles and collaborations, keeping the anticipation high for his next body of work.

Throughout the year, Avelino has been slowly unveiling new singles leading up to the release of Friday’s, Ego Kills. The 13-song body of work showcases Avelino’s growth, both through his ear for production and his penmanship. Though he largely holds down the project on his own, he enlists the help of Krept, SL, Not3s, Wretch 32, and Yungen for the tracklist.

Peep the latest project from Avelino below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics
I put my hands on loads of things
You best know, I’m not talking about flirting
Engine pairing, black light sharing
Skidding and skeering
Can’t stop gotta keep them walls turning
Turning, turning, chasing sterling

Clermont Twins Clap Back After Person Posts Photo Of Them Without Makeup

by

They went from the Bad Girls Club to walking the runway for Yeezy Season 6, and the Clermont Twins haven’t slowed down. The pair of identical twins are known for being reality television and social media personalities who often share photos from their modeling gigs and parties with some of our favorite artists. They aren’t often photographed in their everyday attire without the tending of their glam squad, but a person captured the sisters while they were out. Needless to say, it caused a bit of a ruckus.

In the photo, the ladies seemed to be minding their businesses while looking at their phones as a stranger took a picture of them and posted it online. The candid shot showed them without makeup and soon, they were being trolled by critics who called them out for having cosmetic surgery.

Shannade Clermont took to Twitter to address the viral photo by calling out people who take pictures without permission. “Imma literally start taking photos of b*tches who take off guard photos of me. A 1 FOR 1!!!” she tweeted. “YOU B*TCHES IS SAD!!!! Little do y’all know. The more y’all hate. The more my insights go up Up index= MONEY!! I THANK YOU!!!!”

She also retweeted a fan who lamented about the twins being out with “civilians” and not being able to have peace because people want to “get some clout” by taking photos. “While you was on a flight heading home, I’m on a flight getting to the bag. F*ck outta here.” Check out the picture and the tweets below.

He explained that regardless of whether he’s releasing music under Boosie’s label, they continue to do business with one another.

“We really like family so it’s like, it’s more than the contract…. Whatever I said I’mma do, I’mma still do,” he explained. “A lot of people can’t relate to that because it’s strictly business with the people that they do business with. Me and Boosie… [he] like my big bruh.”

It has been an especially rough season for Keyshia Cole following the death of the singer’s mother. Last week, Frankie Lons reportedly passed away on her 61st birthday, and since that time, her children have taken to social media to publicly grieve her loss.

When u said all you want is to have ALL OF YOUR CHILDREN IN ONE PLACE, AT ONE TIME meant the most to you, And I’m completely down to do that for you. Even through our differences …. WE LOVE YOU.”

The singer returned with an update on how she has been handling this difficult time. “The fact that DJ just gave me his cold, SMH!” she wrote about her eldest son. “And I have to care for my youngest. Dealing with mom passing!!! Plan Tobias bday! He’s turning 2 Aug 1st! I just can’t!” Keyshia’s mounting schedule is taking its toll, but her family members unexpectedly showing up at her home is also causing a bit of stress.

“Not gonna lie tho, the hundreds of thousands of DM’s I’m receiving!!! And my youngest @tobiaskhaled keeping me busy and @daniel_gibsonjr keeping me on him everyday,” Keyshia added. “And my endless family and friend coming by even tho they f*cking noooooo I’d rather be alone [face palm emoji].”
