A$AP Rocky & Metro Boomin Are Cooking Up

by

Being that it’s already been several years since A$AP Rocky last dropped off a studio album, specifically Testing in 2018, many fans have been eager to see what Flacko has been cooking up. For all intents and purposes, the project is likely to be called All $miles, with Flacko currently in the midst of the recording stages.

And while his last project’s experimental nature was certainly divisive, it would appear he’s connecting with an undeniable fan favorite for this go-around. Metro Boomin has officially confirmed his involvement in Rocky’s next release, taking to Twitter to share a few snapshots from a recent studio session. Though it’s unclear as to what was concocted, Metro did offer up a tantalizing teaser: “FEEL THE FIRE.” Perhaps we’re even looking at a potential track title, who knows.

At this point, all we can do is speculate on what Rocky is up to, though it wouldn’t be surprising to see a proper All $miles update before the summer wraps up. After all, the New York lyricist has been through a few notable events these past few years, and it’s likely he will address his harrowing arrest in Sweden at some point on the project. Perhaps he’ll even do so over some Metro Boomin production.

Check out Metro’s pictures below, and share your thoughts on the upcoming A$AP Rocky album in the comments below.

Father & Son Running Fake Supreme Stores Receive Heavy Sentence & Fine

by

It seems fake replicas of streetwear brands like Supreme and Bape have surged, coinciding with the brands respective growing popularity with skaters and young people. Many have traveled to China or ordered off of sketchy websites to purchase coveted pieces by these brands for a fraction of their normal price.

However, a massive fake Supreme operation was taken down this week as a father and son duo who ran the massive operation– opening stores in Europe and China and allegedly posed as the owners of the company– were sentenced to ten and three years respectively and hit with a $10.4 million fine for guilty charges on two fraud counts. 

“Like ticks, they jumped from one company to another and one jurisdiction to another,” London Judge Martin Beddoe remarked about the father-son duo during the sentencing. Michel Di Pierro, 53, and his 24-year old son Marcello Di Pierro were convicted of pretending to be the owners of the Supreme company while opening up fake stores selling fake Supreme products in Europe and China and establishing trademark registrations in San Marino, Italy, Indonesia, Singapore, and Spain. 

The Judge went on to blast Michel and Marcello for “brazen” and “dishonest” conduct, stating that they “plagiarized” the brand. 

The father defended himself and his son from the charges, stating that the court’s accusations were “a very grave and unjustified assault,” continuing that they were “absurd, unfounded, and slanderous allegations of counterfeiting registered trademarks,” according to the Fashion Law.

Warrants are out for Michel and Marcello’s arrests, as they were not present in court.

Future Has More Guns Than A Terrorist When He Thinks About It

by

Through an innumerable sum of projects, we’ve grown to realize there aren’t even a handful of things as genuinely raw as an emotional Future.

Sure, BEASTMODE 2 paled in comparison to its predecessor, but who cares? It’s hard to compete with anything that had “Ooooh,” “Lay Up” and “Peacoat” on its tracklist. Let alone “Real Sisters.” But, when you think about it, maybe there’s just no need to compare the two.

“WHEN I THINK ABOUT IT” is one of the tape’s nine tracks, where he deep dives into some of his deepest insecurities, only to finally realize that his life is actually really cool and lavish and whatnot. From the get-go, you can hear him murmur, “When I think about it, it’s cool…it’s one thousand”. It’s not even one hundred, this guy is on one thousand.

Needless to say, the hook that follows is the song’s crux, gliding on the Zaytoven keys with ease, rhyming “Got on a million dollars in jewelry when I think about it / Got more guns than a terrorist when I think about it / All these cars, my kids inheritin’ when I think about it / All this money I can’t cherish when I think about it.” Being the phenomenon he is, the guy obviously has a lot to keep on his mind, but it’s all eustress.

While the small-scale tape offers a few far more abrasive tracks, with less space being occupied by these feathery keys in favor of him going off about having stable Internet on a private jet, this one exudes what made HNDRXX so bewilderingly listenable. Reminiscent of a track like “Fresh Air,” it’s just another example of how Future’s problems are great problems to have, at least when he gives it some second thought.

Quotable Lyrics:
Twenty chains on my neck, man, they can’t figure me out
Put a Rollie ’round my neck, they try and figure me out
They ’bout to gas up the jet, they try and figure me out
I had to get some more Fugazi, they tryna figure me out
