Lil Tjay Brings On Some Huge Guests For Small Tape “Farewell”

by

After singles galore, Lil Tjay is treating fans with a gift for their “troubles.” It’s a new project titled Farewell, and it’s following up on 2023’s 222. It’s nowhere near as long, as this one spans just eight tracks and is a scant 22 minutes. Where it shares similarities though is that it feels and sounds like an abbreviated version of past LPs. The melodic crooner and rapper details his past, struggles, his hunger to get to the top, while presenting these topics with emotive performances as well.

Some of the singles that were dispersed this year make it onto Farewell, including “Let it Go Baby,” “Told Ya,” and “Good Life.” We began reading into the possibility that Tjay was going to drop a project sometime soon thanks to “Let it Go Baby,” ironically. On the track, he raps, “Been a minute, I ain’t been droppin’, time to go crazy.” Well, that prediction turned out to come true and we have to say we want all the credit. Jokes aside though, Tjay is sounding solid over a majority of the cuts, although, there are some mixing missteps, especially on “Long Way From the Block.” Despite his vocals being too low in the mix, it’s still an enjoyable listen, though. Tjay dropping shorter projects could be a recipe for success because we feel it’s one of his stronger bodies of work. It may feel like a bridge to something bigger, but we firmly believe that he’s got one with Farewell.

Joey Bada$$’s “Raising Kanan” Character Departs From The Show, Says Goodbye To Crew

by

One of the most popular shows within the hip-hop community is Power. That is the longstanding show run by New York rap legend, 50 Cent. Recently, the spin-off Power Book III: Raising Kanan, has been getting new episodes. Unfortunately, fans of the program will surely be let down after seeing that a fan-favorite character did not make it. That would be Kadeem “Unique” Mathis, played by another New York great, Joey Bada$$.

His acting was a bright spot while he was on screen from seasons one, two, and three. But, that run has come to an end for Joey. According to HipHopDX, Joey had a chat with PEOPLE about the way things played out for his character. “I think a lot of people are going to be a little letdown. It’s like, ‘What the f***? He’s dead?’ It is not even the end of the season! It’s the f*****g middle of the season!”

Nonetheless, Joey Bada$$ was very thankful for his time on set for nearly three seasons. He hopped on Instagram to say goodbye to the staff. “🕊 Unique Forever 🕊 Much love to my @raisingkananstarz family. It was an honor and pleasure. 🫡” Fans were devastated and some high-profile rappers gave him his flowers. Project Pat said, “Killed that role.” J. Stone also weighed in, “Damn Nique.. it was a good run !”

Drake Pens Farewell Message To Toronto Before Tour

by

It’s shaping up to be a wild summer for artist tours, with Drake and 21 Savage leading the way with their collaborative It’s All A Blur trek. Before kicking it off in Memphis, Tennessee in the United States on June 29th, though, Drizzy wanted to say goodbye to his home city of Toronto. After all, it’s his first North American tour since his 2018 journey with the Migos. While his latest Instagram Story didn’t make it clear why he was leaving a bit over two weeks before the tour starts, it did feature some heartfelt words towards the 6ix. In addition, a gorgeous picture of the city’s CN Tower, famously featured on the cover of his 2016 album Views.

“Goodbye my beautiful city,” Drake penned on IG on Monday (June 12). “I haven’t left for this reason in over 6 years but I hope I can make you proud once again. I love you all. Have an amazing summer and pls try to take care of each other. See you in October.” On the 5th and 7th of that month, he will close the tour out in Toronto, unfortunately without 21.

Drake’s Goodbye To Toronto (For Now)

However, even though these next few months will surely have him busy, Drake is still gearing up some heat in the studio, apparently. As if having one of the most commercially successful albums of 2022 wasn’t enough, the Canadian superstar seems to be tapping old friends back. He posted a picture of him and frequent collaborator Sampha on his Instagram Story. Furthermore, the two have a proven track record of great songs such as “Too Much,” “The Motion,” and Sampha’s solo (vocal) track on Drake’s More Life project, “4422.”

Meanwhile, Drizzy continued stacking up his list of dynamic duos since then, whether in the musical or romantic sense. For example, he seemed to confirm dating rumors with Lilah via Instagram as well, although that could just be chalked up to loving language and not an actual relationship confirmation. On the other hand, his bromance with Lil Yachty remains as strong as ever. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, keep checking in with HNHH.
