Netflix’s rap competition show Rhythm + Flow has been teasing its second season for a while (it was originally scheduled for 2021), and while its release date had been a mystery for most of the year, today, the streamer finally announced when fans can catch the rise of the next potential rap superstar: November 20.
The show will return with a new slate of judges — DJ Khaled, Latto, and Ludacris — as well as a new location: Atlanta. Along with the new panel, the newly released trailer for the second season also teases its guest judges, which will include Big Sean, Busta Rhymes, GloRilla, and Remy Ma, as well as a return of the season one winner, D Smoke, who has since carved out a successful indie rap career that included a Grammy nomination and roles on the Paramount+ series Mayor Of Kingstown and the Peacock series Bel Air.
For those unfamiliar with the premise of the show, it’s very similar to other music competition series like American Idol and The X Factor, albeit focused on rappers rather than singers. The winner is awarded a cash prize rather than a record deal; in season one, the prize was $250,000. That’s enough to kickstart a career and promote at least a couple of solid singles.
You can check out the trailer for season two of Rhythm+Flow above.
During the 2024 BET Hip Hop Awards, IWillVote.com played a prominent role, encouraging viewers and attendees to make a voting plan ahead of November’s election. As part of a first-of-its-kind collaboration with the Democratic National Committee (DNC), the platform provided a seamless voter resource, offering access to polling place information and voter education.
“With the election just a few weeks away, Democrats are meeting Black voters where they are with the information they need to make sure they know when, where, and how to vote,” said Brencia Berry, DNC National Political Director. “We know so much is on the line for Black voters this November and we have the power to decide this election. The ‘I Will Vote’ activation at BET’s Hip Hop Awards is just one way Democrats are getting information to Black voters, delivered by trusted messengers through creative tactics, to break through the noise.”
BET, a longstanding pillar in the Black community, used its reach across TV, streaming, and live events to highlight the importance of voter engagement. Throughout the awards show, viewers at home were prompted to visit IWillVote.com via QR codes displayed on the screen, while celebrities like host Fat Joe underscored the significance of voter turnout.
In-person attendees experienced an interactive “I Will Vote” lounge, where they could take photos and record messages about why voting matters. Rep. Steven Horsford, Chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, delivered a passionate message, urging voters to elect officials committed to improving their lives.

There are very few television shows that have captured the hearts of hip-hop heads like Power. The 50 Cent-led production has become more of a universe at this point with three spin-offs that have continued to keep fans at the edge of their seats. Most recently, the Power universe brought an end to Power Book II: Ghost, which included a cameo from Lil Durk, who made his acting debut. However, he’s far from the last musical artist to appear on the show. Throughout the original series and its spin-off, 50 Cent and Courtney Kemp have been selective with the star cameos from hip-hop’s elite. Of course, we’ve seen lyrical heavyweights like Joey Bada$$ and Method Man grace the screen in prominent roles, along with R&B icons like Mary J. Blige and Jeremih. Below, we’ve done a round-up of every hip-hop and R&B star to appear in the Power universe.
50 Cent – Kanan Stark (Power, Power Book III: Raising Kanan)

Without 50 Cent, Power would not be as successful as it is. As a showrunner, he’s played a significant role alongside Courtney Kemp in bringing this story to life. However, he also played one of the best roles of his acting career as Kanan Stark. He served as Ghost’s and Tommy’s former mentor-turned-rival in the original Power series. However, his story was explored even further in the spin-off series, Power Book III: Raising Kanan,though Fif primarily appeared in flashbacks.

A revered MC in his own right, Bada$$ delved into acting in the years that led to his role in Power Book III: Raising Kanan. In the show, he took on the role of Unique, who initially served as the primary antagonist and later, became an anti-hero. He was a streetwise kingpin who inherited a drug empire from his incarcerated brother. The role came for Bada$$ after he already won an Oscar for Two Distant Strangers and appeared as Rebel/Inspectah Deck in Wu Tang: An American Saga.

Meth took on the role of the suave criminal defense attorney Davis MacLean. In the first two seasons of the spinoff, he serves as Tariq St. Patrick’s defense attorney while also aiding Tasha before forming a professional bond with Cooper Saxe. Though Meth has undoubtedly built a strong resumé as an actor, his appearance as MacLean will undoubtedly serve as one of the most notable roles in his career.
Mary J Blige – Monet Stewart Tejada (Power Book II: Ghost)

In the first spin-off in the Power universe, Mary J. Blige takes on the role of Monet Steward Tejada–the second-in-command in the Tejada cartel. As Lorenzo Tejada’s husband, she serves as the queenpin of the organization, recruiting her three children, Dru, Cane, and Diana, to keep the family business afloat. Mary J. Blige’s portrayal has earned her great acclaim on screen and two NAACP Image Awards for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series.
Kendrick Lamar – Laces (Power)

Perhaps, one of the most surprising rapper cameos in a television series, Kendrick Lamar stepped onto the TV screen as Laces, a neighborhood “crackhead” that helps Kanan track down a few henchmen. It was truly a shocking and splendid display of his acting chops, which was a selling point for Courtney Kemp. In fact, she admitted to rejecting several rappers who hoped to appear on Power.
“He wanted to play something crazy,” Kemp told EW. “You would never put in Kendrick as a gangster anyway; he’s not really that guy. He wanted to come in and play a part and really act. Most people don’t really wanna act. They wanna, like, ‘Yeah, I wanna be in that s—. I wanna have a gun, I wanna…’ and they don’t wanna act. Kendrick wanted the challenge. He wanted the next level of his artistry and his creativity to be challenged. He really wanted us to give him something.”

Redman appeared as Theo Rollins, MacLean’s incarcerated brother. It was an interesting dynamic, considering it marked one of the first times since Method & Red that the Blackout! Collaborators appeared together on TV. Unfortunately, Redman’s appearance on the show lasted one season. Method Man later revealed they had to recast Rollins’ role because Redman refused to get the COVID-19 jab.

Just as Freddie Gibbs began getting his feet wet in the acting world with films like Down With The King and a supporting role in Peacock’s Bust Down, he returned as Cousin Buddy in Power Book IV: Force. In the show, he portrayed the cousin of Marshall Cranon, a cross-eyed kingpin in Gary, IN who links up with Jenard Sampson to further expand his operation.
Jeremih – Elijah Linden (Power Book IV: Force)

A high-ranking member of the CBI organization, Elijah Linden serves as a street-smart ally to the Sampson brothers who eventually meet his demise. Jeremih hasn’t necessarily built a strong filmography over his career but it was still an impressive outting. No doubt that his long-standing relationship with 50 Cent played a major role.
MC Lyte – Jelani Otombe (Power)

The legendary MC delivered an impeccable but brief performance in the season 5 finale of Power as Jelani Otombe.
Rotimi – Andre Coleman (Power)

Serving as part of the main cast from the second season onward, Rotimi portrayed Andre “Dre” Coleman. Though once a close affiliate to Ghost and Kanan, he eventually begins to try and make a mark for himself. However, his efforts ultimately lead to his own death.
LeToya Luckett – Kenya Pierce (Power Book III: Raising Kanan)

LeToya Luckett plays Kenya Pierce in Power Book III: Raising Kanan. Kenya is introduced as the long-lost mother of Jukebox (portrayed by Hailey Kilgore), who abandoned her as a child. After years away, Kenya re-enters her daughter’s life, attempting to form a relationship with her. The former Destiny Child star crushed her role as Kenya.
Lil Durk – Bronze (Power Book II: Ghost)

In his acting debut, Lil Durk took on the role of Bronze who portrays a cousin of the Tejada family. It’s a full circle moment for Durk, who previously contributed to the “Power Powder Respect” theme song alongside 50 Cent and Jeremih. Durk didn’t necessarily receive a standing ovation for his efforts. However, he deserves his flowers for proving that drill has no limits.

Expanding her filmography further, LightSkinKeisha takes on the role of Brushaundria Carmichael, a classmate of Tariq.

The Mobile, AL star took on a small role in the latest season of Power Book II: Ghost.
ICYMI, Vice President Kamala Harris was on a recent 60 Minutes interview. The Democratic presidential nominee disclosed that she owns a Glock handgun and has had it for “quite some time.” Harris shared this detail with Bill Whitaker during their conversation, adding that she has fired the weapon at a gun range.
This may not be much of a surprise, as Harris was in law enforcement for years, her admission about being a gun owner follows a previous revelation during her debate against former President Donald Trump. At the time, she had stated, “I own a gun for probably the reason a lot of people do — for personal safety.” This marked one of the earliest moments when she publicly acknowledged her firearm ownership, which she initially mentioned while serving as a U.S. Senator in 2019. An aide clarified that Harris had purchased the handgun years prior and that it was securely locked away.
The gun toting newscame out during a campaign event with Oprah Winfrey on September 19, Harris joked about her gun, saying, “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.” While the comment was made in a lighter context, it underscores her position on personal safety.
What’s interesting is this revelation came against the backdrop of a different legal situation involving former President Trump. Following his conviction on 34 felony counts for falsifying business records, Trump’s concealed carry permit in New York was suspended in April 2023. Although the specific details regarding Trump’s license and weapons are not publicly available, the revocation followed standard state protocols for individuals facing such convictions.
The sprawling 60 Minutes interview highlighted the blend of traditional and non-traditional approaches both Harris and Trump have taken in their outreach efforts to voters. Harris’s appearance on the long-standing news program contrasts with her more unconventional recent appearances, such as her interview on the Call Her Daddy podcast, which aired on Sunday. Before that, she had appeared on the All the Smoke podcast hosted by former NBA players Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson.
Michael Che and Colin Jost took aim at Diddy during the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. In doing so, the two comedians poked fun at the number of allegations made against the Bad Boy mogul in the wake of his arrest in New York City, last month. Authorities have charged him with alleged sex trafficking and racketeering. He’s already pleaded not guilty to the alleged crimes.
Che kicked things off during the “Weekend Update” segment. “It was reported that the U.S. added 245,000 new jobs. Unfortunately, they were all ‘Diddy accusers,’” he joked. “It was announced that Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs’ sex trafficking case has been assigned to a new judge. One that Diddy hopes is cool with rapes.” From there, Jost joined in on the jokes. “It was reported that Diddy once invited Prince Harry and Prince William to one of his parties, but they did not go,” he said. “Although before Diddy could even finish writing the invite, Prince Andrew was there.”

The day after the Saturday Night Live episode aired, Diddy’s mother, Janice Combs, broke her silence on her son’s arrest. In a statement provided to Local 10 News, she wrote: “It is heartbreaking to see my son judged not for the truth, but for a narrative created out of lies. To bear witness to what seems like a public lynching of my son before he has had the opportunity to prove his innocence is a pain too unbearable to put into words. Like every human being, my son deserves to have his day in court, to finally share his side, and to prove his innocence.” Her son is currently residing at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn while awaiting trial.

Lil Durk recently appeared in the series finale of Power Book II: Ghost as his acting debut, and while some fans clowned him, others cheer. One of those supporters is his co-star LeToya Tonodeo (who played Diana Tejada in the 50 Cent-produced television show), who recently spoke to TMZ about Durk’s chops. “I thought he killed it!” she shared. “And I hope he keeps going with it. Like, you know, it’s the series finale… *sighs* it’s coming to an end. At least Power Book II: Ghost.
“But you know what they say, power never ends,” LeToya Tonodeo continued. “So we shall see. […] I think [Lil Durk has a magical quality]. I think so, I mean, he was dope to work with. Super cool, super chill. Yeah, I hope he keeps it going. I hope [we’ll see a lot of him in the future in Hollywood]. I hope so. You’d have to ask him, but in my opinion, I hope so.” As such, we imagine that Smurk feels pretty amazing about his acting debut despite some fans’ jokes. Who knows whether he’ll be the next breakout drama star, an action hero, or a comedic hit?

Elsewhere in Lil Durk’s world, he recently announced his new album Deep Thoughts, but fans are already pretty busy with his next moves. After all, it wasn’t too long ago that he revealed the tracklist for another project, Love Songs 4 The Streets 3. The record has Rod Wave on as both a feature and executive producer, with other guests including Future, Lil Baby, Morgan Wallen, Sabrina Carpenter, iShowSpeed, and Kai Cenat. It sounds like quite the eclectic mix, but we’ll see how it follows up or maybe even previews Deep Thoughts.
Meanwhile, the “Monitoring Me” spitter has a lot of options ahead of him. He’s always been a prolific musical artist, so maybe venturing more into the worlds of film and TV could either inspire more measured material or result in a lot of quick drops. Lil Durk has these two projects seemingly ready to go (Deep Thoughts drops on October 18) and seems like he might be busier than ever with a growing entertainment profile. The future is bright. Check out LaToya Tonodeo’s comments by clicking the “Via” link down below.
Lil Durk is going viral after his appearance in the series finale of Starz’s hit series Power Book II: Ghost. The Chicago rapper made his acting debut during the previous week’s episode, which was the ninth of the season. Social media users had some fun with stills from the latest episode, with a number of viral tweets stemming from jokes made at Durk’s expense.
“This is the stance of a man who don’t do the s**t he rap about,” one person wrote. “I spit my drink out when I seen dat man legs like dat [crying emojis],” said another. Another tweet blew up that took shots at the show and others like it. “You know that the show has reached an irreparable level of trash when they start tossing random rappers in the cast,” a third user said. Rappers making appearances on TV shows is not a new phenomenon, of course. Offset was on an episode of NCIS: Los Angeles in 2020. In 2023, Yung Miami of the City Girls made an appearance on Starz’s BMF, another 50 Cent-produced crime drama (like the shows in the Power universe). The disgraced mogul Diddy has multiple acting credits to his name, including episodes of CSI: Miami and the Hawaii Five-O reboot.
The jokes didn’t slow down Lil Durk’s album rollout. In fact, he referenced his Power Book II appearance in the caption to a post promoting his latest single. “We getting back for Monet @ midnight,” Durk wrote. “We dropping for the streets @ midnight, stay woke.” At midnight, he unveiled the cover art for his upcoming album Deep Thoughts, along with a new single. “Monitoring Me” is the name of the new track, which he dropped with an accompanying music video.
Earlier this week, a tracklist purporting to be the one for Lil Durk’s next release made its way online. However, its authenticity came into question when names like Sabrina Carpenter, Kai Cenat, and iShowSpeed were listed as features. As the alleged tracklist is only 12 songs (the upcoming Deep Thoughts is 20 songs, per Apple Music) and not under the same name as the one Durk announced (nor does it have the same album artwork), it is likely illegitimate. Deep Thoughts releases on October 18, though Durk announced that fans can pre-save the album beginning today.
Jussie Smollett addressed Lee Daniels’ recent comments on their relationship, in which the Empire creator labeled it, “complicated,” during an appearance on The Breakfast Club. Speaking with TMZ in New York City on Friday in honor of the release of his new film, The Lost Holliday, Smollett explained that he is always going to be on good terms with Daniels despite their disagreements.
“I talk to Lee often. It’s something that– I love Lee very much, but here’s the thing, I don’t talk about it. Lee is somebody that I love,” Smollett said. “He gave me an opportunity that I’ll always be grateful for, but at the same time, it’s a relationship that’s really important to me, so I don’t feel the need to mediate that in the public.” He added: “Lee is also a little bit more of an open book, so he’ll say things, but I love him so much. And, he knows that. We’re always gonna be good.”

The drama surrounds Daniels’ comments about Smollett’s infamous staging of a hate crime against himself in Chicago in 2019. “That whole situation was complicated,” Daniels said, last month. “I still don’t know what to believe. Honestly, I don’t know what to believe. People say he didn’t do it, he did do it. God bless him on his journey.” Despite that remark, he also said that he’d still be willing to work with Smollett again. “I’d cast him in something,” he clarified. “He was a son to me. And he also represented me. And he also represented the movement that I tried to start, which I didn’t know I was starting. I was so busy, worried about Cookie’s hat and the music that we were playing [on Empire], this was before Insecure, this was before Black Panther. We started it. I was so worried about getting everything right that I didn’t know what was happening in the zeitgeist.”
