Here The Label That 42 Dugg Is Signed To

October 24, 2023 by newhiphopnews

On October 18, “We Paid” rapper 42 Dugg was released from prison early after being sentenced to one year for failing to report to prison after violating his probation from a previous illegal weapons possession conviction. Following the news of his release, fans took to social media to urge him to record new music as soon as possible. So what is 42 Dugg’s label situation?

Under the record label information for 42 Dugg’s last album, Free Dem Boyz, which dropped in 2021, it seems he inked a deal as part of a joint venture between Lil Baby’s 4PF (Four Pockets Full) and Yo Gotti’s CMG (Collective Music Group).

When asked about the decision to ink a deal with 42 Dugg in May 2019, 42 Dugg told Billboard, “I’m really proud of Dugg’s growth and development over the years. His hard work is starting to pay off, and he’s only gonna get better as an artist. Baby and I know Dugg has the potential to be a superstar, and we’re both gonna do everything we can to keep putting him in the best positions to succeed.”

That makes 42 Dugg labelmates with artists such as Rylo Rodriguez, GloRilla, and Uproxx cover artist Moneybagg Yo, to name but a few.

Cristiano Ronaldo And Francis Ngannou Star In Lil Baby, Skrillex, And Flowdan’s Hard-Hitting ‘Pepper’ Video

October 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Earlier this year, frequent collaborators Skrillex and Fred Again.. welcomed UK artist Flowdan on “Rumble,” released in January with the video arriving in May. Skrillex and Flowdan are certainly ready to rumble in their latest single, “Pepper,” and this time, Lil Baby joined the party.

The Courtney Phillips-directed, London Alley-produced “Pepper” video opens with Francis Ngannou sparring with a rock before a fierce leopard arrives and flashes its fangs. Elsewhere Flowdan overlooks a city at night, rapping, “Take a walk with the full moon / We’re all button and zipped up / It’s all kickin’ off soon / Let’s stay real quick, bruv / I don’t know about your goons / ‘Round here, everything lift up / Whether it’s draw, win, or lose / None of my friend dem give up.”

Next, we find Lil Baby in a control room of sorts. That footage is spliced and juxtaposed with a motorcycle street race and a young man in a diner noticing news on the television, reading, “NGANNOU TRAINING IN SAUDI ARABIA.” Baby raps, “Told you you can’t f*ck with us, you shoulda knew it, yeah / We gon’ do the most, yes / Foot all on them throats, yes.”

As news of Ngannou’s fight with Tyson Fury spreads, the song briefly pauses so we can hear Cristiano Ronaldo’s prediction at a press conference: “Next question!” And then, Skrillex’s innovative and textured production takes over, with Flowdan’s grime flow soundtracking Ngannou sprinting through a desert and spars at the ocean floor. “Battle of the baddest, only one of us leavin,’” Flowdan says to punctuate it all, as the leopard growls and closes in on the camera.

Per press release, “The song links with the upcoming heavyweight exhibition boxing match between Cameroonian-French MMA fighter Francis Ngannou vs. WBC Heavyweight Champion Tyson Fury on October 28.”

DJ Khaled’s Nickelodeon-Approved ‘Supposed To Be Loved’ Video Stars Child Versions Of Future, Lil Baby, And Lil Uzi Vert

October 6, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Ever since Puff Daddy employed child actors to portray The Notorious B.I.G. and himself in Biggie’s “Sky’s The Limit” video, it’s become one of rap’s favorite video formats. It’s been utilized by Danny Brown, Macklemore (twice!), and Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco, and Pharrell to enormous success. Add DJ Khaled to that list, as the new video for his ‘Til Next Time single “Supposed To Be Loved” presents pint-sized versions of the producer and his guests Future, Lil Baby, and Lil Uzi Vert.

Created in partnership with Nickelodeon — where Khaled is an eternal fixture thanks to his past participation in the Kids’ Choice Awards and willingness to get slimed for a good cause — the kid-friendly video sees TikTok star Julian Shapiro-Barnum interviewing the actors about love in the style of his popular “Recess Therapy” videos. Their answers are typically innocent yet astute and hilarious and their performances are likewise adorable (its pretty obvious they only barely know the words, but they make up for it in enthusiasm). The Lil Uzi stand-in even has a little costume gem glued to his forehead. The video also premiered on Nickelodeon,l ikely giving Khaled a little more cachet with his own two kids.

Nickelodeon played a pretty big part in the spread and popularity of hip-hop with millennials thanks to shows like All That and Kenan And Kel embracing the culture with their theme songs and musical performances, so it’s nice to see them carry on tradition.

Chrisean Rock Praises Lil Baby After Blueface Calls Her Sister Tesehki “A Real One”

October 2, 2023 by newhiphopnews

The pressure of being in the public eye combined with new motherhood has proven to be difficult for Chrisean Rock. Still, rather than hide herself away from the world, the 23-year-old has continued to share positive updates with her followers on social media – all while continuing to go tit for tat with Blueface. Last month, the new parents welcomed their first child together, after one of the most tumultuous celebrity pregnancies we’ve ever seen. It briefly seemed as though Rock would be signing to her co-parent’s MILF Music label, but during an emotional rant, the young entertainer revealed that Blue was asking for too much from her that she wasn’t comfortable doing.

Things only became more intense in the days following that, as the “Thotiana” rapper posted a photo of his baby boy’s hernia (and his genitals) online for the world to see. Blue has since claimed his phone was stolen and his account was hacked, but Rock has remained adamant about pressing charges against her Cr*zy In Love co-star. Amid all of this, reality TV lovers have been watching more of the 23-year-old’s wild pregnancy antics play out on Zeus’ Baddies East, which also happens to star Chrisean’s older sister.

Blueface Shouts Out Chrisean Rock’s Big Sister

After tuning in to this past weekend’s episode, Blue found the perfect way to push his ex’s buttons. “Tesehki a real one,” he tweeted in the early hours of Monday (September 2) morning. Seeing as Rock has a bumpy past with her sibling, which the Californian is well aware of, this message was sure to leave her feeling some type of way.

However, instead of reacting emotionally, the “Lit” recording artist opted to hit Blue where she knew it would really hurt him. “Lil Baby a real one,” she tweeted just a few hours ago, earning almost double the likes that her baby daddy has accumulated so far.

Man Arrested for Shooting During Lil Baby’s Memphis Concert

September 29, 2023 by newhiphopnews

A Memphis man was arrested for a shooting during Lil Baby’s Memphis concert. According to AP, 22-year-old Kevin Young was arrested Wednesday for reckless endangerment.

Adding to Young’s troubles, police also charged him with unlawful possession of weapons and drugs at his home. Inside his home, guns, ammunition, and drugs were found. Two other people were inside the home and were also arrested.

Young is stated to be a known gang member, also known as Kato2tymes. His attorney, Mike Scholl, states he did not commit the crime.

“Our position is he did not do this and there was someone else that was there,” Scholl said. “Someone had a gun in there and we’ll hopefully get to the bottom of who it was.”

According to Action News 5, the shooting was “premeditated,” and the victim was a target. Young was also previously arrested for first-degree murder and aggravated assault.

Inside his home, Scholl had a Glock19, two Glock 19s with extended magazines, Glock 43 9mm, Smith and Wesson MP-15 with 100-round drum magazine and brass catcher, Aero Precision x-15 .30 blackout, Del-Ton DTI-15 rifle with a 100-round drum magazine, several rifle magazines, and pistol magazines and ammunition.

Young is currently being held without bond.

According to ABC 24 Memphis, police responded to a shooting at the arena located at 191 Beale Street, where a man was found critically injured. Everyone was cleared from the building after the incident.

The injured man was transferred to Regional One Health Medical Center.

Lil Baby Praises Blueface For Going Easier On Chrisean Rock, Atlanta Native Says He’s Done With Opps

September 23, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Social media users warned Chrisean Rock that signing up to be Blueface’s baby mama wouldn’t be an easy feat. Nevertheless, the 23-year-old was determined to have a child with her Cr*zy In Love co-star, who she finally delivered on Instagram Live earlier this month. Since then, her co-parent and his family have been applying plenty of pressure on the new mom, though Lil Baby was pleased to see Blue promising to lay off the “Lit” rapper after a particularly difficult week for her.

In the aftermath of an unflattering video of Rock misusing her baby carrier at Walmart going viral, the California native hopped on Twitter to address some things. “I know she going thru [something and] it’s not easy,” the “Thotiana” hitmaker wrote on Friday (September 22). “No hood harder than parenthood so I’m not [gonna] be mean to her no more. Her mental state determines how my son’s day goes,” Blue further reflected. “Let’s just encourage her to be more accountable [and] responsible this time around. Come on rock, we got this. I’m here.”

Lil Baby Praises Blueface for Supporting Chrisean Rock

Most of what Blue has said about Rock as of late on social media has been full of hate and negativity, so users were pleased to see the pair learning to work in tandem – even if things aren’t perfect between them right now. When he came across his fellow artist’s post, Lil Baby made it clear that he supports the father of three’s message.

“Real s**t!!” he wrote. As you may recall, the My Turn lyricist previously caused a serious bout of drama between the Zeus stars, as Blue appeared to be jealous over Rock linking up with Baby, who she considers to be more like family than a romantic option.
