Reese LAFLARE & DJ Drama Make Fireworks On “Diva Vol. 4”

by

It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard a long-form offering from Atlanta rapper Reese LAFLARE, and it seems like he knew that. Moreover, his latest project, a Gangsta Grillz collaboration with DJ Drama, holds a versatile set of tracks that sees him at his best. Diva Vol. 4 is as soulful as it is saucy, as hard as it is heavenly, and as versatile as it is volitional. Almost every track here seems like it serves a specific mood-driven or instrumental purpose in the tracklist. As such, Reese crafted a tight and consistently entertaining body of work that shows off a lot of catchy flows and compelling performances.

Instrumentally, there are a lot of pallets here that switch up from track to track, resulting in a lot of variety. Furthermore, Reese LAFLARE is just as prone to float over a trap beat, a West Coast banger, or more R&B-influenced cuts. Not only that, but the 35-year-old does a very effective job of switching his performance from song to song to fit the vibe. It’s definitely been a long way since the first volume of Diva, and his artistic sensibilities this time around display that growth. In addition, he taps a lot of guests here to add to Vol. 4‘s color, variety, and exciting nature.

Reese LaFlare Blasts CBS News For Mistaking Him For Young Thug

by

Once again, Reese LaFlare is calling out news outlets for confusing him with Young Thug. As the YSL case heats up during the jury selection, networks are jumping on the story with updates about the RICO charges. Fourteen co-defendants, including Young Thug, are headed to trial, and for the second time in a week, Resse LaFlare’s photo is being used by outlets.

On Instagram, Reese uploaded a screenshot of CBS News‘s televised report of the case where they claimed he was Young Thug. “Alright @cbsnews y’all got me F*CKED UP,” the rapper penned in the caption.

“Y’all posting ME on national Television as another person in a NEGATIVE light ruining my Brand and image ‼” Reese continued. “This is Proof y’all don’t really know anything about Black People.”

“It Takes 1 second to use google and see who this actually is. This is nuts because @newsweek @foxnews Ran this same image of me … FREE @thuggerthugger1 and All the brothers ❤.”

As he mentioned, Reese recently told Fox 26 News in Houston to stop using his image to report on Thug’s case.

He later added, “I mean [I] do have a YSL chain on in the pic but cmon now.”

Despite the ongoing headache of being confused for someone facing RICO charges, Reese continues to support Thugger. “Free Jeffery,” he tweeted alongside a photo of Young Thug and Donald Glover.

Meanwhile, CBS News, nor the other outlets that mistook Reese for Thug, have issued apologies or statements about the mixups. Hip Hop supports LaFlare and calls for major media to rectify the situation.

Reese LAFLARE Reacts To News Outlet Using His Photo Instead Of Young Thug’s

YSL’s RICO trial has been looming over the music industry ever since the arrest of Young Thug and others in May of last year.

There have been countless reports and updates on the case over these past months. However, none of this prevented a news outlet from making a critical mistake in one of their latest articles on the trial.

In the since-deleted tweet, FOX26 Houston reports on the upcoming RICO trial. “Rapper Young Thug, accused by prosecutors of co-founding a criminal street gang responsible for violent crimes and using his songs and social media to promote it, is set to go to trial starting Monday,” writes the network in the post.

While this information is certainly accurate, the article’s accompanying photo is not of Thugger. It’s instead a picture of a different Atlanta rapper, Reese LAFLARE. “Stop using my picture,” the “No Hook” rapper writes in response after seeing his photo wrongly attributed to the case.

LAFLARE went on to show his support for the So Much Fun rapper, tweeting out “Free Jeffery” multiple times. “I mean [I] do have a YSL chain on in the pic but cmon now,” he writes afterwards. He ends it by simply tweeting, “I need a Lawyer.”

Unfortunately, this isn’t the only case of a news network getting it wrong when reporting on rappers. Just a few weeks ago, ABC accidentally put a photo of Quavo rather than Takeoff in their year-end “In-Memorium” segment. When the tribute for the “Casper” rapper appeared on the screen, it was instead a photo of his uncle.
