Duke Deuce’s Energy Is On Full Display On “DUKE SKYWALKER”

Memphis rapper Duke Deuce has taken full advantage of going viral this past year as he has dropped numerous projects all while being promoted by the likes of Quality Control. There is no denying that he has a lot of talent and energy, which is on full display in his new album called Duke NukemThere are some great songs to be had here, including yet another play on his name in “DUKE SKYWALKER.”

With this effort, Duke Deuce gives us a menacing beat that is backed up by some bars that are full of references to drugs and material goods. Duke’s flows are especially fun to listen to and overall, this track matches the vibe of his album quite perfectly. It’s yet another solid effort from an artist who has some great years ahead of him.

Quotable Lyrics:

Duke Skywalker, smoke that shit so heavily
High as seven heavеn, think an angel wanna marry me
I can’t smoke with brokе motherfuckers, I’m allergic
That shit make me nervous appreciate your service

R. Kelly Fully Vaccinated Against COVID-19, Receives 2nd Dose In Prison

R. Kelly is currently sitting behind bars as he awaits trial for sex crime charges but he’s made several attempts to receive bail. He’s been deemed a flight risk, especially after reports emerged claiming that he and his entourage were planning to leave the country. So, he’s locked up and the judge made it clear that Kellz isn’t trusted to be released to the public.

It seems that the coronavirus pandemic can no longer be used as an argument for his release since he’s now fully vaccinated against COVID-19, according to TMZ. The singer received his second dose recently from Bureau of Prisons at MCC Chicago. Kelly received the first dose in January. It hasn’t been clarified what vaccine he received.

According to the Bureau Of Prisons, the singer is among the 63 inmates that have been fully vaccinated, along with 128 staff members at MCC.

Kelly previously made two separate attempts to be released on bail after the coronavirus outbreak. The singer told the judge that he feared the risk of contracting the virus. Both times he made the request, he was shut down.

El Chapo’s Wife Won’t Get Extra Security In Jail: Report

Emma Coronel Aispuro, the wife of Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Archivaldo was arrested at Dulles International Airport in Virginia last Monday (February 22). Charged with conspiring to distribute drugs for importation into the States, the former beauty queen is allegedly being offered a plea deal. Prosecutors are planning to offer Aispuro witness protection and a new life in exchange for information on the Sinaloa Cartel her husband oversaw. In addition to mulling over this ultimatum in a Virginia detention center, TMZ also reports that the 31-year-old is getting the same treatment as any other inmate, despite being the mastermind behind El Chapo’s infamous prison escapes.

Her attorney Jeffrey Lichtman told TMZ that following her drug trafficking arrest in Virginia, she’s being treated just like any other government guest, and there are no extra security measures in place. 

Lichtman told the publication that she simply doesn’t qualify for beefed-up security because she wasn’t seen as a security risk. Comparatively, the federal prosecutors are now claiming she conspired twice to help El Chapo escape prison, including one successful break in Mexico. The Alexander Sheriff’s Office, which runs the jail, has not discussed any security measures openly. 

Aispuro’s treatment is quite the opposite of that of her infamous husband, who has complained about “torturous” prison conditions before his sentencing. She is being charged with conspiracy to distribute 5 milligrams or more of cocaine, 1 kilogram of heroin, 500 grams or more of methamphetamine, and 1,000 kilos or more of marijuana for importation into the United States.

We’ll keep you updated as the trial gets underway.

Ghostface Killah & Raekwon Might Be Lined Up For Next “Verzuz” Event

Last night, we witnessed a true celebration of music. D’Angelo & Friends was more of a concert than your typical Verzuz battle and it was incredible. D’Angelo brought out a slew of friends including Method Man & Redman as well as H.E.R., among others. The Internet continued raving about the event but for Timbo and Swizz Beatz, it was back to business.

Each event they host gets better. We’ve received some incredible moments in hip-hop, from West Coast celebrations with E-40 and Too $hort, and down South, Jeezy and Gucci Mane made amends after roughly 15 years of beefing. In the world of R&B, they recently brought together Ashanti and Keyshia Cole (finally). So, how do they raise the stakes for the next edition?

Wu-Tang fans rejoice as Swizz Beatz and Timbo have hinted that we could expect Raekwon & Ghostface Killah to pair up with each other in the Verzuz arena. During the post-show IG Live, Swizz Beatz and Timba went through classic Ghost and Rae joints before Swizz suggested that they will be going hit-for-hit. “Hol’ on, hol’ on, hol’ on. Raekwon verse Ghostface. Hol’ on bro,” said Swizz before turning the music back on.

This wouldn’t be the first time a Wu-Tang member appeared on Verzuz, of course. RZA previously faced off against DJ Premier as one of the first Verzuz battles.

Check the clip below. How do you feel about Ghostface Verzuz Raekwon? 

Bryson Tiller Attempts To Right His Wrongs On “Losing Focus”

Bryson Tiller has been on top of the r&b world for a few years now and back in 2020, the artist released a project called Anniversary which contained 10 tracks that set a whole mood. Now, the singer is back with a deluxe version of the album that is packed with five new songs, and for the most part, those vibes have been continued in the best way possible.

One of the standouts on the deluxe is a track called “Losing Focus” which sees Tiller trying to reason with his partner who he cheated on. The singer knows he messed up, and with some rapped verses, he tries to explain his wrongs and win back the girl he actually wants to be with. This is all backed up by a smooth instrumental that fits nicely in the context of the album.

Give the track 

Quotable Lyrics:

See I’m losin’ all my focus
If you chosin’, am I chosen?
Cruisin’ in this coke Benz
Soon pickin’ up your friends
Give me dirty looks ’cause they know a lot
A hunnid with you, yeah, they know I’m not

Knicks Fans Express Jubilation After Attaining 17-17 Record

No franchise has elicited more frustration over the years than the New York Knicks. Fans of the team have become desensitized to horrible play and over the last couple of seasons, the Knicks have found themselves at the bottom of the standings, as they can’t even seem to notch 20 wins. These days, however, the team has a brand new coach in Tom Thibodeau, and it seems like their management is making real strides to improve the team.

In fact, the Knicks are now 17-17 following a huge win against the Indiana Pacers. With the win, the Knicks are now fourth in the Eastern Conference and fans can’t believe their good fortune. After last night’s game, fans took to the streets of New York in celebration, and it looked as though they had just won a championship.

While there is no guarantee that the Knicks can keep up this pace, the team is looking extremely good right now. Julius Randle of the Knicks has been on another plane of existence this season, and it’s looking more and more like this Knicks squad will reach the playoffs as the Eastern Conference is wide open.

They are playing gritty basketball and if you’re a Knicks supporter, you can’t help but be excited for the future.

Michael B. Jordan Might Be The New Superman

Michael B. Jordan is no stranger to the superhero realm. He starred in Fantastic Four in 2015 and more recently in 2018 as Erick “Killmonger” Stevens in Marvel Studio’s Black Panther film. Considering this, it’s no surprise the 34-year-old actor is allegedly in talks to take on the role of another iconic hero. Warner Bros. Studios announced they were working on developing a Superman reboot as produced by J.J. Abrams and written by Ta-Nehisi Coates late last week, and they’re allegedly looking for a Black actor to play Superman in the new film, with MBJ in mind.

Giant Freakin Robot reported that Jordan was the studio’s top choice to take on the role of Abram’s reimagined Man of Steel. Sources told the outlet that the studio is currently pursuing the Creed star for the role, but it is not entirely certain if he has signed on to do the film just yet. The publication also reports that even if Warner is unable to lock down Jordan, they still would not go back to Henry Cavill, as they are allegedly committed to telling a Black Superman story.

The information is not entirely a shock either since Jordan was already heavily linked to an earlier planned version of the reboot a few years ago. He ultimately ended up turning down the role due to creative differences and conflicting schedules, but with Abrams and Coates handling the production, it may be very likely he’ll get on board. 

Besides scouting out new roles, the actor has been keeping busy packing on the PDA with girlfriend Lori Harvey. The pair have been pretty open about their relationship since going public, constantly gushing about each other in the media and their respective social pages as well. 

What do you think of the possibility of a MBJ Man of Steel? Let us know down in the comments.

Canelo Alvarez Interrupted By Jake Paul Fans After Big Win

Canelo Alvarez had a massive night on Saturday as he quickly defeated Avni Yildirim in a three-round TKO that allowed him to march forward in the super middleweight division. Following this match, Alvarez will get to go up against the likes of Billy Joe Saunders, which is certainly going to be an improvement as far as opponents are concerned. It feels like Alvarez is running out of guys to challenge him, but alas, he marches forward.

Following last night’s fight, Alvarez was in the ring for his post-match interview, when he was interrupted by two guys in Jake Paul shirts standing behind him. No one really knows where these guys came from and how they got into the ring, although Alvarez caught on to what was happening and promptly told them to get out. The two men obliged and immediately left the ring with their heads hanging in shame.

What makes this situation funnier is the fact that Alvarez has been critical of the Paul brothers in the past, saying that they are cheapening boxing with their antics. These two fans obviously took offense to this and figured they would try and ruin Canelo’s moment to the best of their ability. In the end, they failed.

anders Pulls Up In Fashion On “Late To The Party”

Toronto singer/songwriting anders’ buzz has been steadily growing since first gaining recognition five years ago with the release of “Choosy.” His catalog expanded since then with a collaboration alongside Rich The Kid, and several solid bodies of work including January’s Chaos, his first official project in nearly three years.

Apparently, Chaos was just a taste of what he has to come for the remainder of 2021. The singer delivered a sultry new banger on Friday titled, “Late To The Party,” produced by Francis Got Hear and Emerson Brooks. Anders latest record reflects his growing status, from his regional buzz in Toronto to garnering national and international fame, as well as the perks that come with it. A lustful banger that finds anders basking in his vices, even if it means he’ll be late to the function.

Quotable Lyrics
Two hoes in the back
They wanna give me face
Now I only care if I’m getting paid
I touch down, ignite it, then walk away
