It’s becoming increasingly clear that Dr. Dre is working on a brand new album, his first since 2015’s Compton.
Not only did Dem Jointz openly speak on the ongoing studio sessions he’s been actively participating in, but Eminem previously teased that he recently traded a song to Dr. Dre to receive “Guns Blazing,” a track originally meant for Dre’s album. Adding further fuel is the arrival of an unreleased snippet featuring KXNG Crooked, during which Dre spits scathing divorce bars aimed at his ex-wife Nicole Young.
Suffice it to say, Dr. Dre’s creativity is surging, and it’s only a matter of time before we begin to see concrete signs of an album beginning to surface. In the meantime, many of the players involved have been content to leave breadcrumbs, including a recent one from legendary lyricist The D.O.C.
Yesterday, the No One Can Do It Better emcee took to Instagram to share a picture of himself, his daughter, Dr. Dre, and Eminem. “What in the Aftermathmatics is going on ova here?” he captions, words cryptic enough to induce a bit of hype. While some might conclude that this is simply a friendly gathering, it’s impossible to deny how rare Eminem and Dre link-ups appear to be. The pair typically connect to work on new music, as they have for the recent Music To Be Murdered By albums.
As such, it stands to reason that Em came through to return the favor, as he’s a near-guaranteed contributor to whatever the Good Doctor has in the pipeline. Check out the picture below — as shared by The D.O.C — and be sure to keep an eye out for more tidbits surrounding Dr. Dre’s fourth studio album.

Coco posted a gallery of photos from this weekend, carrying her little one in the final picture. People have been leaving astounded comments all morning, stating, “That kid look just like her daddy” and “Ice T dont need no paternity test.”
On Twitter, the comments resulted in Ice-T becoming a trending topic. This isn’t the first time that people are pointing out Chanel Nicole and Ice-T’s facial similarities, and it definitely won’t be the last.

Recently, Ice-T clapped back at people who were critical of his acting skills. Rapper Soulja Boy also reflected on his feud with the iconic music star, claiming that Ice-T was “confused” while they were at each other’s necks.

Houston rap superstar Megan Thee Stallion and tennis icon Naomi Osaka are doing very big things this summer. The pair of powerhouses have landed on the cover of Sports Illustrated’s Swimsuit 2021 issues. Meg Thee Stallion + Naomi Osaka Secure Covers Stallion and Osaka both went to their social media pages to plug the must-see […]
The cover stars for this year’s Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue were unveiled today, and among them is a familiar face to music fans: Megan Thee Stallion, as she, tennis star Naomi Osaka, and actress/model Leyna Bloom all got their own covers.
Sharing the cover on Instagram, Megan wrote, “REAL SPORTS ILLUSTRATED SWIMSUIT EDITION COVER MODEL SH*T!!! Thee first female rapper on the cover of @si_swimsuit [crying emojis] I want to thank all the strong women in my life who inspired me to love my body and live my best hot girl life. It means the world to me to be on this cover DREAM COME TRUE!!”
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit editor-in-chief MJ Day said of Meg, “Megan Thee Stallion doesn’t stay in one lane. In fact, she encourages everyone to be in multiple, and this is what we love about her. She captured the world’s attention with her music and style, but what caught our attention was her unfiltered approach to the way she makes you think. She uses her platform to push boundaries, dissect societal norms, and encourage humans to think about the backward way our society continues to operate. Megan is a vessel for change, and we are honored to have her on our 2021 cover.”
Megan is the first rapper to cover the swimsuit issue, but not the first musician, as Beyonce graced the cover back in 2007.

Megan Thee Stallion is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
50 Cent has accomplished a great deal throughout his extensive career, and while he has since transitioned into the world of television, the Power mogul originally got his start as an artist. Having first made an impression through his formative mixtapes in the late nineties, as well as tapes like Power Of The Dollar and Guess Who’s Back, Fif eventually caught the attention of Eminem and Dr. Dre, who signed him to a joint deal with Shady Records and Aftermath Entertainment.
From that point, Fif went on to see rap game success that many artists could only dream of. His major-label debut Get Rich Or Die Tryin has been certified diamond, and his sophomore album The Massacre is steadily nearing the milestone. Alas, Fif’s music career has been left somewhat unresolved in the eyes of many. Though 50 originally intended to drop off an album called Street King Immortal — which Jimmy Iovine deemed his best since Get Rich — the album never saw the light of day.
In a new interview with The Independent, largely centered around his new series Power Book III: Raising Kanan, Fif was asked about the status of the long-lost album. “That original version is not [being released], but I’m releasing new music in September,” explains Fif, confirming what many fans have already understood. The publication also confirms that Eminem will not be included, despite having recorded an unreleased duet called “Champions.” “I didn’t finish the tracks with him… I’m not gonna tell who’s on it because I’m the most exciting person [on the album].”
Speaking of Eminem, Fif also had some kind words to share about his longtime friend and collaborator. “He’s still one of the best artists to me,” says Fif, who most recently collaborated with Eminem on Ed Sheeran’s “Remember The Name.” “He means more to the culture than a lot of other artists – a lot of people looked at him and saw themselves, and understood how they fit into hip-hop culture.”

Megan Thee Stallion is making history as the first rapper to grace the cover of Sports Illustrated‘s coveted Swimsuit edition. She joins tennis star Naomi Osaka and model and actress Leyna Bloom for this year’s covers.
“When I got the call that they wanted me on the cover, I was like, ‘Wha—? Me?’ And to be the first female rapper on the swim cover makes it extra special,” said Megan about landing the cover. “It feels amazing!”
Megan wears a light brown strappy bikini for her winning shot. She says she has been training for months for the photoshoot.
Naomi Osaka and Leyna Bloom are the other cover stars for this year’s edition. Bloom also makes history as the first transgender cover star.
“This moment heals a lot of pain in the world. We deserve this moment; we have waited millions of years to show up as survivors and be seen as full humans filled with wonder,” wrote Bloom. “I have dreamt a million beautiful dreams, but for girls like me, most dreams are just fanciful hopes in a world that often erases and omits our history and even existence. This moment is so powerful because it allows me to live forever even after my physical form is gone. Not a lot of people get to live in the future, so at this moment, I’m proudly choosing to live forever.”

Lil Durk is a big fan of Kanye West, recreating some of the music legend’s most iconic looks for his “Kanye Krazy” video earlier this year. The Chicago native would jump at anything to be featured on an upcoming album from his idol but it seems as though he narrowly missed his chance to be included on LP10.
As information continues to leak out surrounding the mysterious release of Kanye West’s next album, which he previewed this weekend during a live listening session in Las Vegas, the rapper’s rumored feature list has been shared online, including names like Lil Baby, Travis Scott, Griselda, Baby Keem, Playboi Carti, and Post Malone. Unfortunately, Lil Durk wasn’t mentioned on the list, and the rapper has officially explained why he was left off the final tracklist, revealing that he had a chance but was omitted because he missed his flight.
After sharing Justin LaBoy’s assessment of the new album, DJ Akademiks reposted Lil Durk’s comment on the post, which reads, “I missed the jet [upset face] well next album.”
Kanye is a master at changing his albums at the very last moment. He’s done so on almost all of his recent releases — do you think he might find a spot for Lil Durk before LP10 drops?
