Chance The Rapper Demands Justice For Young Thug, Slams “Circus” Trial

by

It’s no secret that Young Thug has been put through the wringer throughout his highly-publicized YSL RICO trial. According to Chance The Rapper, however, it’s time that they wrap it up. Earlier this week, the Chicago-born MC took to social media to share a post in honor of his own birthday. He opted to dedicate it to his friend behind bars. Chance made note of the seemingly never-ending antics of the ongoing trial, and expressed wishes for Young Thug to be allowed to go home to his family.

“For my birthday I just wish my brother was home with his family,” he wrote. “This circus of a trial has had him in custody for over a year and with all the legal errors, jury misconduct and conflicts of interest by the state he deserves to at the very least fight this from home.”

Chance’s post also includes an old clip of him and Young Thug talking at what seems to be a festival, along with text reading, “Top 2 DOA [shrug emoji].” Sadly, it doesn’t appear as though the YSL co-founder will be sent home any time soon. Last month, it was even reported that due to prosecutors’ lengthy list of witnesses, it could continue well into 2027. Fortunately, the judge decided to shorten the list and remove various potential witnesses, including Lil Wayne.

Either way, Young Thug has seemed jaded during his latest court appearances, with a clip of the Atlanta native looking visibly irritated making its rounds online earlier this week. What do you think of Chance The Rapper’s recent post in support of Young Thug? Do you agree that the rapper should be allowed to finally go home to his family? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Suge Knight On Tupac & Keefe D: “‘Pac Finally Gettin’ Justice” Despite Defending Keefe

by

On the most recent episode of Collect Call, Suge Knight’s podcast from prison, he made the claim that Tupac Shakur is finally getting “justice” for his murder. However, he had some explaining to do considering the true nature of “justice” and his previous statements. For those unaware, the Death Row Records boss had previously defended ‘Pac’s accused murderer Keefe D, who’s currently incarcerated amid investigation, charges, and reopened accusations. In this new episode, which dropped on Thursday (December 21), Suge alluded to being able to speak on this matter more. It’s unclear what this will pose for the court case itself, but it’s still quite interesting to see these pieces move on the chessboard.

“It’s been a long time since I was able to talk freely about ‘Pac because we were so close,” Suge Knight expressed.. “And the thing is, ‘Pac finally getting justice. And justice for Pac is this: not so much of somebody getting punished, or going to prison. It’s the fact that if you was around ‘Pac, and you had your hands into trying to destroy him, and we got the receipts, it’s a problem.

“I said this from day one, when we first started talking about it,” Suge Knight continued. “Jealousy is worse than hate. When your name start ringing, people get jealous of you. You know, if a person hates you, they can be across the street, and they can see you. They can see you, you know? ‘I hate that motherf***er. I hate him or her. F**k them.’ And that’s that, right? How jealousy destroy? A jealous person, you’re on their mind every time they’re awake, every time they think of you in their head. So they want to destroy you, get rid of you.”

Meanwhile, it’s unclear what picture Suge wants to paint with these statements. Apparently, he’s looking forward to seeing how other folks reportedly involved in the West Coast legend’s downfall will finally get what they deserve for their actions. Next year, surely we’ll see some wild clarifications about this whole situation. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Suge Knight, Tupac, and Keefe D.

Young Dolph’s Alleged Murderer Is A Scapegoat, Rapper’s Fiance Suggests

by

Young Dolph’s murder investigation and trial is underway, and the late rapper’s fiancée Mia Jaye isn’t happy with its progress at all. Moreover, she recently spoke to WREG about the whole ordeal, as well as what she thinks will truly bring justice to Dolph’s memory. During Jaye’s remarks, she suggested that there are many more individuals involved in this tragedy than what court suspects indicate. Specifically, many could interpret this as a reference to his previous rap beefs, although those don’t seem to have anything to do with this loss as of yet. Regardless, there’s a lot about this trial that the Memphis MC’s partner expressed discomfort with.

“It looks like the truth coming to the forefront, not just a fall guy, a fall that won’t be good enough,” Mia Jaye said of Young Dolph’s murder trial. “Everybody who had any type of involvement with this being brought to justice, being brought front and center, being handed a sentence. For me to see this play out as if it is some type of entertainment… We got songs being made, but how are these people getting held accountable? Right. The judge being pulled off the case because of him reprimanding the situation? Like, we not about to play this out like it’s some reality TV show in ink, in living color. You know, that’s a disrespect to me. That’s a disrespect to my family and it’s a disrespect to Adolph.”

Previously, Mia Jaye actually alluded to Young Dolph being killed “over some rap s**t,” although this new statement doesn’t contain those assumptions. However, he also has many in hip-hop that will continue to honor his legacy and impact. “Don’t call/text me asking how I feel. I’ll never get over this sh*t. let me deal with it alone luv,” Key Glock wrote on Dolph’s passing’s anniversary.

As one of the Paper Route Empire boss’ main companions, Key’s always done his part to do right by him. Nevertheless, this court process will define how this incident goes down in the history books. All we can hope for is that they find those truly responsible. For more news and the latest updates on Young Dolph, stick around on HNHH.

Justice’s New Remix Of ‘D.A.N.C.E.’ Featuring Logic Highlights An Upcoming Deluxe Edition Of ‘Cross’

by

The year was 2007 and French house duo Justice were blowing the minds of hipsters and party bros alike. The Bloghouse era was thriving amid the emergence of electro acts like Chromeo, Simian Mobile Disco, and The Bloody Beetroots, and no song was as anthemic for the NYC-born scene quite like Justice’s “D.A.N.C.E.” A rallying cry back to the dance floor; there was a future for the convergence of indie and electro house that wasn’t only up to Daft Punk anymore. The fulcrum of Justice breakthrough album, Cross (spelled out with simply a symbol for a cross; one that the duo accused Justin Bieber of ripping off), “D.A.N.C.E” now has a brand new remix featuring Logic that stands out amid a 15th anniversary Deluxe Edition of the album.

Cross effectively ushered in a new era of DJ culture. Justice’s Xavier De Rosnay and Gaspard Augé became huge and other DJ personalities followed suit. Just as “D.A.N.C.E.” represented the rise of indie-electro, the reprised version with Logic shows how hip-hop eventually seeped into the culture as well. Logic is thrust into the mix, but helps carry the beat as if it were a brand new spin. It’s part of six new tracks in a second disc that features demos and an unreleased Justice track called “Donna.”

Listen to “D.A.N.C.E.” featuring Logic above. Check out the album artwork and tracklist for Cross (Deluxe) below.

Emmett Till’s Family Insist Kidnapping Warrant Against False Accuser Should Still Be Enforced

by
emmett till justice

Investigators looking into a 67-year-old unserved warrant connected to the Emmett Till lynching investigation have revealed there’s no statute of limitations on kidnapping in Mississippi.

That means 88-year old Carolyn Bryant Donham could still be arrested and served. 14-year-old Emmett Till was kidnapped, brutally beaten, and lynched in 1955 after Donham falsely accused him of flirting with her in a grocery store operated by her then-husband.

Currently, Donham is reported to be living in Raleigh, North Carolina. According to NPR, Priscilla Sterling, Till’s cousin, urged Mississippi Fourth Circuit Court District Attorney W. Dewayne Richardson during a news conference last week to issue the warrant for Carolyn Bryant Donham’s arrest.

“I know that over a period of time, 67 years, nothing has been done as far as this warrant,” Sterling told reporters. “The family wants Carolyn Bryant to face justice. And by justice, we want her to at least come here and defend herself.”

The family feels both the federal government, along with the state of Mississippi, are “protecting [Bryant]” because of authorities telling Richardson to “not move forward on the warrant,” Sterling told reporters.

“So what is really going on here in the state of Mississippi?” she added. “The warrant must be issued. The warrant must be executed.”
