Never one be far removed from drama, Tekashi 6ix9ine has decided to use his own personal drama to generate some views and this time it involves his former flame, singer Yailin La Mas Viral. The troubled, and now wanted, Brooklyn rapper dropped “Repuesta”, a diss track along with a video yesterday(September 4) aimed at ex-girlfriend and fellow artist Yailin La Mas Viral and the ‘Get The Strap” rapper goes in on his former lover.

Even though all of the lyrics are in Spanish(and can understood in depth by those who speak the language), the visual for Repuesta(which means response) gives viewers 6ix9ine’s perception of the rocky relationship between the two artists. Also, with Tekashi known for his flamboyant wears and hairstyles, toned it down this time around, donning a black suit while casually spitting his verses instead of his signature screaming style.

The visual includes footage of the rapper and Yailin La Mas Viral when they were still together. The duo dated throughout 2023 before ending things in August. Footage also includes 6ix9ine interacting with Yailin La Mas Viral’s son, whom she shares with Puerto Rican rapper Anuel AA. The relationship publicly went sour when it was reported that 6ix9ine was arrested in the Dominican Republic on domestic violence charges back in January after a report was made by Yailin’s mother.

Fireboy DML Releases Deeply Personal Fourth Album, 'adedamola'

Today, award-winning Nigerian singer-songwriter Fireboy DML released his most personal and reflective album yet, adedamola. This 14-track project marks a significant chapter in his career, showcasing his evolution as both an artist and an individual. The album features collaborations with notable talents, including Nigerian artists Lojay, Lagbaja, Seun Kuti, DJ SPINALL, and Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter Jon Batiste.

adedamola explores themes of love, loss, and growth, with love in its many forms serving as a central focus. The album reflects the lessons Fireboy has learned over the past year, emphasizing family, personal health, peace of mind, and his relationship with God. Born from significant challenges—including dealing with loss, battling self-doubt, and navigating his quest for identity—the album stands as a testament to Fireboy’s resilience and artistic vision.

 “It’s a culmination of what I’ve learned in the past couple of years, especially in 2023. I’m learning that success is not always glamorous. It can be personal and relative to who you are and what matters to you. There are a few songs on the album that really talk about focusing on the things that matter—family, personal health, peace of mind, my relationship with God, and sharing love with the people that really matter to you.”

– Fireboy DML

With a rich blend of soulful melodies, introspective lyrics, and innovative collaborations, adedamola invites both longtime fans and new listeners to connect deeply with Fireboy’s music. This latest work highlights his growth and solidifies his enduring legacy in the music industry.

Craft Recordings Celebrates 70th Anniv. of Miles Davis’ Influential 1954 Recordings With ‘Miles ’54’

by

Craft Recordings celebrates a pivotal year for Miles Davis with Miles ’54: The Prestige Recordings—a new, 20-track compilation, collecting genre-defining recordings from the music icon’s 1954 output, including music from classic albums Miles Davis with Sonny Rollins, Miles Davis Quintet, Miles Davis All Star Sextet, and Miles Davis Quartet (all originally issued via Prestige Records). Featuring an all-star cast of musicians, including Sonny Rollins, Thelonious Monk, Milt Jackson, Kenny Clarke, Art Blakey, and Horace Silver, Miles ’54 blends originals by the influential jazz icon, with popular ballads and compositions by his legendary sidemen.

Arriving November 22, 2024, Miles ’54 will be available in an array of formats, including 180-gram 4-LP, 2-CD, and hi-res digital. All audio has been newly remastered by GRAMMY® Award-winning engineer, Paul Blakemore, with lacquers cut by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio. Physical editions offer a brand-new essay by GRAMMY®-winning music historian Ashley Kahn (author of Kind of Blue: The Making of the Miles Davis Masterpiece, among others) as well as in-depth session notes by GRAMMY-winning writer, Dan Morgenstern. The complete collection is available for pre-order here, while the track “Oleo” can be streamed today.

1954 was a watershed year for Miles Davis. Ten years into his celebrated career, the trumpeter, composer, and bandleader was on the precipice of international fame and more focused than ever. Throughout the year, Davis entered Rudy Van Gelder’s studio for five landmark sessions—each of which would find him honing his sound, maturing as a leader, and collaborating with the era’s brightest rising stars. The resulting recordings would catapult Davis’ career to the next level and set the tone for the mid-late ’50s post-bop scene.

The release of Miles ’54 not only coincides with the 70th anniversary of these recordings but also the 75th anniversary of Prestige Records, the venerable independent jazz label founded by producer Bob Weinstock. Launched in 1949, Prestige found itself at the forefront of the genre: ushering in the cutting-edge sounds of bop, hard bop, soul jazz, and beyond, while developing the careers of such iconic artists as John Coltrane, Thelonious Monk, Stan Getz, Sonny Rollins, and, of course, Miles Davis.
