Yungeen Ace Spits Triumphant Bars On New Track “Back Like I Neva Left”

by

Yungeen Ace has been making a whole lot of noise as of late and much of it is due to his ongoing beef with fellow Jacksonville artist, Foolio. There is a deep backstory behind the feud and in many ways, it is a very tragic tale. Just last month, Ace dropped the track “Who I Smoke?” which was a direct diss to Foolio’s fallen friends. A few weeks later, Foolio dropped “When I See You” which arguably even more disrespectful. Now, Yungeen Ace has dropped a new track called “Back Like I Neva Left,” which deviates from the beef and largely focuses on his own goals.

This song has some incredible production that features vocal samples hanging in the background. Meanwhile, Yungeen Ace offers some energetic flows that contain some melodies and even some autotune. The lyrics are about his rise to fame, the hardship he has been through, and how he plans to take over the game. Overall, it’s a great effort from the artist, and you can check it out below.

Quotable Lyrics:

Greatest n***a to walk out Jacksonville
They know that I’m the best
Two to his head one to the neck
Shot so many times, I feel like 50

LeBron James On Track To Return This Week: Details

by

LeBron James has had his fair share of injury issues this season. After Anthony Davis went down with a calf injury back in February, LeBron was tasked with carrying this Lakers squad and, of course, it led to some stress on his body. Shortly after the all-star weekend, LeBron went down with an ankle injury which kept him out of the Lakers lineup for over a month. It was a rough period for the Lakers who continued to fall in the Western Conference standings.

They were expected to bounce back once LeBron returned although last weekend, he tweaked his ankle again which forced him back out of the lineup. Now, according to Shams Charania of The Athletic, LeBron received some good news recently as it is likely that he will either come back on Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Lakers only have four games left in their season and they are trying to jump back into sixth place, where they would be able to avoid a potential play-in game. With LeBron back in the lineup, such a task will immediately become easier, and Lakers Nation is banking on LeBron’s health to be enough to carry the team to a deep postseason run.

Stay tuned for more news from the NBA as we will continue to keep you informed.

Kodak Black Gets “Murder” Tattooed Over His Eyes

by

When Kodak Black returned from his latest stint in prison, the rapper kicked off a new chapter in his life by getting a massive tattoo over his forehead. Apparently, that wasn’t the only piece that the rapper felt like adding to his face because, on Monday, he debuted another new tattoo, this time getting the word “Murder” inked over his eyelids.

People have been reacting to Kodak Black’s latest ink acquisition: red ink spelling out “Murder” over his eyes. The tattoo is nearly illegible with his eyes open but once he closes them, you can see that he’s got murder on his mind. Yak hasn’t posted about the tattoo yet– the only existing video is from a user on TikTok named @1kexotic_, who only has one upload. The video shows the rapper with all of his chains on, placing an emphasis on the new tattoo over his eyes.

This comes shortly after Kodak was sentenced in his sexual assault case, pleading guilty to first-degree assault and battery. He was sentenced to 10 years suspended to 18 months probation. Many feel that the rapper got off easy in this case.

Let us know what you think of Kodak Black’s new eye tattoos. Are you feeling them? Are you not? Let us know in the comments.

Tom Brady Appears To Hint He’s Entered The Crypto Space

by

Cryptocurrency is in the midst of a Bull market which means investors are seeing massive returns on investment. Back in March of 2020, Bitcoin was at a low of $3000 per coin and now, it is sitting at $58K, with some forecasters claiming a $100K Bitcoin could be on the horizon, this summer. With this in mind, we have seen many big institutions invest their money in Cryptocurrencies, including altcoins like Ethereum, Cardano, and even Dogecoin.

Now, it seems like the greatest football player of all time, Tom Brady, is also getting into crypto. Last night, Brady responded to a tweet claiming that the star was looking at buying Bitcoin and that as a result, he should change his profile picture so that he has laser eyes. This has become a trend amongst Bitcoin investors and just about an hour ago, Brady came through and added the lasers to his PFP.

While Brady hasn’t directly stated that he’s bought Bitcoin, it’s pretty clear that he is hopping on a trend that has become synonymous with crypto investors. NFL players as a whole have also been looking at BTC as some are now having their salaries converted to Bitcoin.

For now, it remains unknown just how much Brady bought although it’s clear he is thinking long term with his investments.

JetsonMade Turned Down Rihanna To Work With J. Cole

by

Producer JetsonMade has been in high demand for the last few years after he initially broke out through his extensive work with DaBaby. One of the biggest hip-hop producers of the modern era, the 23-year-old has picked up credits with Jack Harlow, Roddy Ricch, Playboi Carti, Youngboy Never Broke Again, and many more. One of the most exciting moments in his young career has been his connection to J. Cole, having produced his recent song “Lion King On Ice.” 

During a recent interview with Our Generation Music, JetsonMade revealed that he had an opportunity to also work with Rihanna. While that would have been a huge addition to his growing resumé, the Grammy-nominated producer ultimately turned that down to continue working with J. Cole.

“I was really supposed to go work with Rihanna. I swear to god, I skipped out on that shit to go work with Cole,” explained Jetson during the interview. “Shout out to Rihanna though, I hope we can get in there. It was more personal. Cole reached out to me personally, I was at this man’s house, like, f*ck that, I’m going with this n***a.”

Jetson went on to say that he feels he would have been pretty nervous around Rihanna. At the rate his career is going, he’ll probably get another chance to work with the icon soon. At the very least, this confirms that Rihanna is working on new music, which will surely excite her fans.

What would you have done in that situation? Would you have worked with J. Cole or Rihanna? Let us know in the comments.

Charlamagne Tha God Is Officially A Doctor

by

Charlamagne Tha God had to go through a lot before getting to where he is now. Growing up in South Carolina, Charlamagne didn’t always have the easiest path towards success although he was able to grind it out and eventually became a radio sensation. In the eyes of some, Charlamagne is like a hip-hop Howard Stern who has no problem challenging his guests and engaging in some hilarious dialogue.

His success has gotten him very far and over the weekend, he received a massive honor as South Carolina State University awarded him with an honorary doctorate, which now officially makes him a doctor. On Instagram, Charlamagne explained just how much this honor means to him.

Recently, Coach K from Quality Control also received an honorary doctorate. It’s always cool to see such prominent figures being honored for what they’ve done, and we’re sure Charlamagne will have a lot of fun being called doctor on The Breakfast Club.

Event organizers are confident that the pandemic is finally starting to see itself out, as they’ve been planning concerts and festivals, mostly for towards the end of 2021. Now Slowthai has decided to get into the festival game, as he is launching his own, Happyland.

The event, presented with Goldenvoice (the folks behind big events like Coachella), will take place on September 25 at County Cricket Club in Northhampton, UK. Alongside Slowthai, the inaugural lineup also features Beabadoobee, Idles, Easy Life, Ethan P. Flynn, Greentea Peng, Izzie Gibbs, Pa Salieu, and Shygirl.

A statement accompanying the announcement reads, “Happyland with happy folk. The place where we can laugh and joke. The place you can be yourself without judgment, expectations and impressions of someone else. The space from the shackles of the everyday. The mountain where we climb to runaway. Imagine what you’ve never had when you come to Happyland… you will never be sad.”

He also wrote while sharing the news, “starting my own festival in my hometown!!! NN to the world… this has been a dream of mine forever. i’ll see you at the happyland.”

When it comes time for the festival, the rapper could have some new music out, as he said earlier this year he was making great progress on his next album.
