DMX’s Estate Arranges Some Of His Most Powerful Prayers On “Let Us Pray: Chapter X”

December 13, 2024 by newhiphopnews

DMX’s legacy will always be remembered by hip-hop and its fans. He was truly a one-of-a-kind artist, and his impact on the genre is bigger than some may realize. Part of what separated him from his contemporaries was his spirituality. Across his discography, the New York native was always including reflections and prayers wherever he felt necessary. It’s not too often that a rapper, especially in the non-Christian hip-hop space, to be this open about his beliefs. Usually, that stuff is kept private. But again, DMX was a one-of-one, and it’s why receiving Let Us Pray: Chapter X is such a blessing.

This is his second posthumous album, and it’s maybe the most powerful listen of the year. Four prayers that “reflect upon the depth, emotionality, and spirituality of DMX” are here, in addition to their instrumentals. It’s almost as if the latter are added for the listener to do their own meditations and supplications. Giving these spoken words extra weight are the terrific arrangements from Warryn Campbell. He’s done a lot of work on Kanye West’s more religious albums. Killer Mike, Snoop Dogg, MC Lyte, Lecrae, and RoyzNoyz Orchestra are just few who also contributed their sacred thoughts to the album. Overall, his first official effort into a more gospel-centric listen is well-executed and worth checking out and thinking deeply about.

Let Us Pray: Chapter X – DMX

Let Us Pray: Chapter X Tracklist:

Favor with Killer Mike, Mary Mary, RoyzNoyz Orchestra
Bear With Me with Lecrae
One Life To Do It with MC Lyte, RoyzNoyz Orchestra
Until I’m Gone with Snoop Dogg, Terrace Martin, Lena Byrd-Miles

Bear With Me – Instrumental

Enchanting Receives Prayers As Those Close To The Artist Give An Update On Her Condition

June 11, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Enchanting has been receiving countless supportive messages on social media following her recent hospitalization. A woman identified as her sister confirmed that she was in the hospital on life support on Facebook, Monday. “She’s still fighting, she’s not dead… I’m here at the hospital. My sister is not dead,” she wrote in one post, refuting rumors to the contrary. It’s unclear what led to her hospitalization. In a post caught by The Neighborhood Talk on Monday night, JhonnieDamnD requested fans keep Enchanting in their prayers.

In the comments section, users did just that. “God, I asked that you restore life in this young lady body bring her back to her family and friends. In Jesus name we pray amen,” one user wrote. Another added: “Let it out baby. It’s ok to cry, especially dealing with something like this.. The Bible says where two or more is gathered. Let’s get some prayers through!”

Enchanting signed to Gucci Mane’s 1017 record label back in 2020 at just 22 years old. She dropped her debut project with the imprint, No Luv, in 2022. Earlier this year, she appeared on Campaign Reezo’s single, “Because of You.” Speaking with the Dallas Observer in 2023, she explained her love for making music. “I feel like music was always something that was easy for me,” she said at the time. “I felt like I was musically inclined, always. It was something that I thought should probably put more time and effort into, because it was natural, you know, instead of trying to force a talent.”

Blueface’s Mom Karlissa Saffold Asks Fans To Pray For Him, Shares Old Photos

March 10, 2024 by newhiphopnews

Blueface is still in prison for violating his probation, and his mother Karlissa Saffold continues to advocate for his well-being and try to bring him closer to religion. “I know sometimes we can’t stand my baby but I need all my Christians to raise him up in prayer today,” she captioned a series of old pictures of him, from childhood to adolescence and young adulthood. “Fasting and praying that the lord gets deep down in his soul to show him the lords will for his life is the best life. Strength and courage and perfect health. May no weapon formed against him prosper in Jesus name amen [prayer hands emoji] das momma baby waby [crying face emoji] [red heart emoji].”

However, while the California rapper is still behind bars, the drama surrounding his beefs, flings, and career by no means locked itself up with him. Moreover, Karlissa Saffold is one of many people who claimed that Blueface’s child with Chrisean Rock has some form of disorder or serious condition, although she’s one of the few actually close to the situation to do so. It feels wrong to speculate on this, but it nonetheless caused a lot of debate online. If you aren’t familiar with the three’s history, then you can see by this glimpse how conflicting their emotions tend to be.

Furthermore, Karlissa Saffold also claimed that Blueface’s father almost let his grandson drown while babysitting. Fortunately, little Javaughn was okay and nothing serious happened, but it was still quite scary. This criticism from the “BDD” MC’s mother is also notable because Chrisean has not let her see their son Junior yet. Since she’s living with Blue’s father right now, there are a lot of sides to this beef between Rock and Saffold.

Meanwhile, the two continue to fight and antagonize each other online, so Blueface will have a lot to handle when he gets out. What do you think about this whole never-ending debacle? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts down in the comments section below. Also, for more news and the latest updates on this family dynamic, stay up to date on HNHH.

Kodiyakredd Of Island Boys Suffers Seizure, Brother Flyysoulja Asks For Prayers

July 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Usually when Alex and Franky Venegas (better known as The Island Boys) are in the news, it’s for reasons that make us roll our eyes. This week, however, one of the controversial siblings suffered a serious health scare that left the other an emotional wreck. As HipHopDX reports, Flyysoulja revealed via his Instagram Story on Monday (July 3) that Kodiyakredd suffered from a seizure. At the same time, he asked fans to pray for his brother, causing some to speculate that the issue is life-threatening.

“Redd just had a seizure ,” Alex wrote over a selfie of him sobbing into the camera. “I can’t [right now],” he added. On another slide the Florida-based entertainer wrote, “Pray for him . I love [him].” As reactions to the tragic news continued to pour in, Flyysoulja eventually gave the world a brief update on Kodiyakredd. “He’s okay,” the Island Boy posted yesterday afternoon.

It remains unclear exactly what caused Franky’s health scare. Interestingly, the news comes shortly after the young artist’s arrest footage was leaked. In the viral video, he accused officers of profiling him before they took him into custody on alleged assault charges. His girlfriend told authorities that she was threatening to break up with the Island Boy over his “physically abusive behaviour.” Prior to his arrest, he apparently slapped and pushed her into a swimming pool at their Airbnb in Pompano Beach.

“On my dead daddy you profiling me,” Franky yells in the arrest footage. “I don’t care bro, you’re profiling me. I swear to God…babe he’s profiling me. I’m getting arrested for no reason, dog. What’s the reason? Bro, fam there is no reason I didn’t do nothing, homie,” he further rants. Later on in the clip, we also see Venegas becoming increasingly agitated while waiting for his booking.

YNW Melly Requests Prayers Ahead Of Double-Murder Trial Day 2

June 13, 2023 by newhiphopnews

YNW Melly looked pleased to finally be in court for his double-murder trial yesterday (June 12). Years after surrendering himself to authorities in 2019, the Florida native is now facing the death penalty if found guilty of killing two of his associates – YNW Juvy and YNW SakChaser – in a brutal shooting. Not only got he receive the fatal sentence, but Melly is actually the first person to be tried under new state law allowing a jury to convict with a minimum 8-4 vote rather than the usual unanimous 12.

On the first day of proceedings, we heard testimony from prosecutors and their witnesses on the Law & Crime live stream. It was alleged that Melly recruited fellow lyricist Fredo Bang to pick him up after the incident went down. While the “Murder On My Mind” hitmaker was running from the scene of the crime, his accomplice, YNW Bortlen, drove the shooting victims to the hospital. While in court, footage of the vehicle driving up outside was played. Melly even appeared to shed a tear while seeing the bodies of his late friends carried into the building.

The 23-year-old’s former attorney, Bradford Cohen, has said that it will be very difficult for Melly to be found guilty. Perhaps the most difficult part will be proving beyond a reasonable doubt that the accused pulled the trigger. “When I was on the case, I had a very clear path to the defense. I believe there are some large holes in the case for the prosecution,” the celebrity lawyer wrote on IG yesterday.

Elsewhere on social media, a post has been shared to the alleged murderer’s profile today (June 13). It encourages fans to tune into the live stream and send him prayers as he awaits his fate. Will you be tuning into day two of YNW Melly’s double-murder trial? Let us know in the comments, and read what Boosie Badazz’s experience at the courthouse supporting his young friend yesterday was like at the link below.

June 7, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Lil Durk recently took to social media to reveal that he’d like to hold a massive prayer for Muslims in Chicago. He shared the news on his Instagram story today, writing, “I want to hold the biggest prayer in Chicago for Muslims that bring everybody together soon as pride to the side.” He also added that he’d like to squash “petty beef,” writing, “Then after get problems off my chest help the petty beef go away private location.”

Durk has been open about his religious beliefs in the past, revealing how crucial his religion was in helping him through hard times. Last month, he appeared on DJ Akademiks’ Off The Record podcast where he said “When I started getting more into my religion, and just like, talked to my pops while he was locked up, talked to my uncle and them,” he revealed, “They’re like ‘Man, we had the money, the fame and the cars, we had the city on lock, and we went to jail and got life. What you’re going through, we’ve been through. When you call, call and get to your pops, call and get to your unc. Let’s talk, let’s have a conversation. But I don’t want to hear no crying. I don’t want to hear no complaining, I don’t want to hear no ‘I can’t do this, I can’t do that.”

Lil Durk went on to state, “I’m telling you, like, that [prayer] rug is powerful.” “I lay the rug down, I pray- I cry on the rug, I cry while I’m praying, I cry during Ramadan. But guess what? India ain’t ever seen me cry. My daddy ain’t ever seen me cry. My momma ain’t ever seen me cry, you know what I’m saying? ‘Cause it’s only one person that can help the hurt, you know what I mean?” he continued. Lil Durk also recently inspired one of his super-fans to convert to Islam.

As for beef, Durk has recently accused Gunna of snitching on Young Thug during the YSL RICO trial. He also said, “If you a rat, you a rat. If you rewind this clip a little bit, I looked into the camera and told you, if you a rat, I f*cking hate you. Because I love Thug.”

She had also explained on social media that she was worried about having had three abortions in the past. Blueface labeled the explanation a “sob story” on his Instagram page.

As for Chrisean’s original comments, she told Cool Kicks L.A.: “At first, I was getting pregnant then I’d have an abortion. Then it got to a point where he was like, ‘I want a family, I want a baby, have my baby.’ So we start fucking like crazy. I start going on my knees like, ‘Lord, can I get a baby? I’m not gonna kill this one.’ So then I got pregnant, but in the midst of me getting pregnant, we’re beefing and shit, I don’t know, we’re going through stuff. I’m like, ‘I already made up my mind, you made up your mind, I’m not going back on it.’”

When the comments began circulating on social media, she elaborated in a post. “Man I only prayed because I wasn’t getting pregnant because of so many abortions,” she wrote. “So when we was ready to have one I wasn’t getting pregnant it had me worried about my reproduction system. I didn’t have it cuz I needed a cent from you. I just wanted a family with my lover. It’s sick how stuff turned out because all I deal with is ya immaturity about something so much serious to me.”

Blueface’s Response To Chrisean Rock

She continued: “Then now we have this awkward [ass] relationship because there’s so much damage. One thing I ask from you can u be the last person taunt me through my pregnancy. It’s irritating I thought we was done with the social media BS. In real life I don’t need shit from u just love and even that I don’t need.”

Prayers Up For Jamie Foxx

May 4, 2023 by newhiphopnews

Jamie Foxx’s recent medical scares have started to scare many of his Hollywood colleagues and friends. Recently, TMZ caught up with actor/comedian, Brandon T. Jackson. The gossip blog asked him how he felt about Jamie’s current health issues. Jackson leads a prayer saying, “I love you. My prayers are with you and your family.” He was speaking directly to Jamie Foxx in his prayer. Moreover, many celebrities like Jackson are expressing their concern for the multifaceted star.

Jamie Foxx has been in the hospital for three weeks due to a mysterious medical complication. After being revived on-set during filming for one of his upcoming films, Foxx has been in the hospital ever since with little to no updates on his status. However, there have been reports, along with a social media post from Jamie letting everyone know he appreciates all the love and is “feeling blessed.” Furthermore, it’s rumored that Foxx had a stroke while on set. However, nothing has been confirmed.

After the heartfelt prayer, Jackson added well wishes and hopes for a speedy recovery for his friend and colleague. Jackson finished his statement with, “faith without works is dead,” as he reiterated more prayers and loving sentiments. Although it still remains a mystery as to what ails Jamie Foxx or what caused his hospitalization. BTJ expressed that it’s important for entertainers to take care of themselves, with healthy doses of sleep. While it’s pretty tight lipped as far as updates go on Foxx, the singer/comedian/actor has broken his silence.

Since his social media post, albeit a little cryptic, it’s amazing to know Jamie is in good spirits. Although the actor hasn’t spoken out about his medical issues, more details have slowly started to surface. The day of the incident sources reported that, “He’s very lucky he got the treatment he did.” Sources also shared that the “Blame It” singer suffers from high blood pressure, which can lead to blood clots and strokes. According to the source, “Doctors believe this was a long time coming, and really, if they hadn’t acted fast, Jamie might well have been a goner.” Thankfully Jamie is okay and in better spirits. Hopefully he can leave the hopsital soon and have a speedy recovery. Prayers up for Jamie Foxx! Leave a prayer or words of encouragement in the comments below!
