New Hip Hop News

Halloween is finally here and throughout the weekend, we have been blessed with some truly incredible costumes. From Instagram models to NBA players to rappers, there have been plenty of great get-ups to go around. It feels like everyone is trying to one-up each other, and there are even some who have decided to go with two separate costumes.

For instance, Lil Nas X has decided to put a lot of effort into Halloween this year, and as you will see, he has absolutely killed it so far. There is no telling whether or not he has more looks up his sleeve, although there is no denying that he left his mark on Saturday.

In the Twitter post below, you can see that Nax X got some very elaborate makeup so that he could look like Voldemort from the Harry Potter series. From there, he also dressed up as the jock from Ned’s Declassified School Survival Guide, who can always be seen spinning the basketball on his fingers. Both costumes were executed to perfection, and you can tell that Nas X really put a lot of effort into these.

The rich and famous always seem to have a leg up when it comes to Halloween as they have the resources to spend on elaborate costumes. Either way, it is always fun to see, and there will certainly be even more looks to take in as the weekend goes on.

On this day one year ago, legendary underground rapper MF DOOM passed away with an unspecified cause of death. His family only announced the loss several months later on New Year’s Eve. Now, fans who are spending their first Halloween without DOOM are sharing tributes to the late rapper.

“1 year ago we lost the greatest and my favorite artist of all time, the great MF DOOM,” one user tweeted. “I cannot put into words what this man did for my life, I’ll forever by thankful for everything he brought me. Rest In Peace.”

Another shared similar sentiments: “On this day 1 year ago, the world lost one of its greatest talents. The greatest underground rapper of all time. Rest In Peace Daniel Dumile, MF DOOM. Your with your son & brother at last.”

In honor of the anniversary of Doom’s passing, his estate is putting on a benefit event in San Francisco featuring over 30 artists including King Most, Cutso, Jerry Nice, and Abby Imperial. 50% of all proceeds will be donated to the late rapper’s estate. The event is being called DOOMSDAY.

It’s been a busy few months for Kanye West. Fans have been steadily keeping DONDA on rotation while the rapper recently changed his name to Ye. However, fans have been hoping that new music is on the way. DONDA (Deluxe)was teased by Apple Music this week, though there hasn’t been any confirmation on a release date. Plus, the Yeezy STEM player apparently includes three unreleased tracks from DONDA.

Perhaps, we could expect ‘Ye to debut something new this weekend as he recently announced the return of Sunday Service. Kanye West took to Instagram where he announced that he would be reviving his weekly spiritual musical experience. Sunday Service will go down on Oct. 31st at 12 p.m. PT/ 3 p.m. ET and will be available for streaming on Triller and Fite TV.

Maybe Kanye will end up bringing out a few guests this time around. One of the last broadcasted appearances that the Sunday Service Choir made was earlier this year at DMX’s funeral. Yeezy brand and Balenciaga also teamed up to create merch for the late rapper with the proceeds going towards DMX’s family.

Hopefully, Kanye West isn’t running around with a mask at Sunday Service, as he’s been doing for the past few weeks.
