Toronto’s Portion Preps For His Major Label Debut With “99 Prblms”

by

Toronto’s witnessing a renaissance in its post-Drake rise. While Drizzy will forever be regarded as the 6ix God, it’s artists like Pressa who are ushering in a new era for the city in the soundscape of hip-hop. There’s a few artists that are helping this push including Portion who recently inked a deal with Warner Music Canada. Ahead of his forthcoming project, the rapper unveiled his first single on the label titled, “99 Prblms.” Guitar strings sweep through the production as Portion’s honeyed melodies details his rags-to-riches story.

“’99 Prblms’ is fitting as the first release as it’s the first single I recorded myself. The single is inspired by the ups and downs of life on the way to success,” he said in a statement about the single. 

Quotable Lyrics
Bitches say I’m actin’ famous, makin’ sure the bros live large
She ain’t never been to Hollywood and walk on stars
Bad lil’ bitch, she left Sephora in a foreign car
They don’t want to see me win, they rather see me starve

Father Drops Psychedlic Vibes On New Track “Shit Got Old, Got Sick”

by

Father has always been one of those artists who doesn’t mind making fun of himself in his music. He’s also been known to come through with some hilarious bars and his friendship with Zack Fox is a demonstration of the type of humor we can come to expect from him. On his latest track “Shit Got Old, Got Sick,” that humor is on full display as we see Father take a nonchalant approach to relationships and topics surrounding sex.

Throughout the song, we get some psychedelic production that hangs around in the back and helps enhance the mumbled autotuned vocals that are coming from Father. From there, the artist raps about a girl whose sexual prowess simply isn’t working on him anymore, and now, he is looking to move on. Overall, it’s a lowkey track and it’s a solid effort that you can stream, below.

Quotable Lyrics:

She gon’ fuck me quick
She gon’ fuck the clique
She gon’ suck some dick
She gon’ lose her mind
I’m gon’ waste her time

Lil Nas X Splits His Pants Wide Open While Working Stripper Pole On “SNL”

by

Lil Nas X was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live this weekend, and he brought his provocative “Montero” single to life. The chart-topping single stirred up controversy because the young artist takes a stripper pole to hell and then twerks on the devil. Conservatives and Christians around the nation rallied against the video, only making it reach higher levels of success. 

Lil Nas X decided to bring the same over-the-top energy to SNL. He performed the single with a group of topless male dancers, and they went all out to sell the production. The performance is one of the more mature ones we’ve seen on SNL in awhile. At one point, Lil Nas X jumps onto a stripper pole, and drops it low. At that moment you can see his face look stunned, as he quickly grabs for his crouch and holds on for dear life. He finishes the performance holding his pants at the seams, without missing a beat. 

Lil Nas X also performed “Sun Goes Down” and was included in a Pride skit for SNL. The second performance was much more low key, and featured Nas X in a white suit with fake bullet wounds. 

Dominique Wilkins Claims Atlanta Restaurant Was Racist Towards Him

by

Former NBA star Dominique Wilkins had an unfortunate situation play out in Atlanta recently as he attempted to dine at Le Bilboquet restaurant. According to a Twitter post from the Hall of Fame star, the restaurant acted in a racist way towards him as they wouldn’t let him in due to a supposed violation of their dress code.

“In my many years in the world, I’ve eaten at some of the greatest restaurants in the world, but never have I felt prejudice or been turned away because of the color of my skin, until today in #atlanta,” Wilkins wrote.

After Wilkins’ accusations went viral, Le Bilboquet responded to the former star, claiming that they are strict with their business casual dress code and that at the time, he didn’t fit their standards.

“We, at Le Bilboquet, do our best to accommodate all of our guests,” the restaurant said in a statement. “However, we have received consistent complaints from our patrons regarding other guest’s wardrobe choices.  As a result, to protect our restaurant’s culture, we installed a minimum standard in our ‘business casual’ attire dress code which includes jeans and sneakers but prohibits baseball caps and athletic clothing including sweat pants and tops.”

According to TMZ, Wilkins called cap on the restaurant’s assertions, noting that he was wearing designer pants and a shirt. He even claims the restaurant employees gave him an up and down look, and then refused to serve him. Based on replies to Wilkins’ initial tweet, it seems like the restaurant has a reputation of doing this to patrons, and with Wilkins calling them out so publically, it’s not looking good for the old PR department.

Instagram Gallery: It’s Jayda Cheaves’ Year

by

Jayda Cheaves is making 2021 her year. After negative press in 2020 from cheating scandals, the 23-year-old mother was unsatisfied with her ‘baby momma’ title. Her actions this year show she has made it her mission to make a name for herself outside of her rapper baby daddy, Lil Baby.

After the two split in February, Jayda began to rid herself of all reminders of Lil Baby, but these days, the two seem to be approaching reconciliation as the rapper continues to adorn Jayda with extravagant gifts.

Outside of her complicated relationship she has established herself as a woman of balance — focused on business ventures just as much as posting a new Birkin. 

Before dating Lil Baby, Jayda was already known as an influencer in Atlanta for her hair business, Amour, and apparently becoming a millionaire at just 20 years old.

For her son’s second birthday in February, Jayda gifted him his own children’s book business, starting with a short story written by her. A Day with Baby L.A. sold out completely, securing a stable financial future for her son, all the while using the limelight to her advantage.

In May, she celebrated the launch of her new business, a clothing line called Waydaminmerch. If anyone is going to bounce back this year, it is Jayda. She is a hard worker and loves to share how it all pays off. Her ‘Gram is filled with sponsorships, bomb bikini photoshoots, and glamorous pictures before nights out. 

Check out some of her best looks below.

Jaah SLT Links Up With Erica Banks For “In My Bag” Remix

by

Coming out of Charlotte, Jaah SLT has been coming through with a plethora of energetic bangers that have gotten the youth to resonate with his style. He has been consistent with these releases and when he dropped “In My Bag,” fans were immediately enamored with the vibe. Now, Jaah SLT is looking to follow up the success of that song with a brand new remix that features the likes of Erica Banks, who is also having a big moment right now.

With this song, we get those booming 808s and piano lines from the original track, all while Erica Banks adds in some braggadocios lyrics that fit in nicely alongside Jaah SLT’s aggressive delivery. From cars, to women, to money, there is plenty of hedonism on display and it makes for one of those songs that you can’t help but headbang to.

Quotable Lyrics:

Roll it up smoke it up 4, 5
Cartier frames got 4 eyes
Tie 100 bands like bow tie
Stunted for the hoes like 4 times

Freddie Gibbs, Swizz Beatz & Shoota93 On “We Want Justice Dammit!”

by

There aren’t that many TV shows in the world that are able to nab the hottest in the rap game for original music. However, Godfather of Harlem is different. The Epix show based on the life of Bumpy Johnson is on its second season right now with some incredible music being bumped out specifically tailored for the series.

This week, Godfather Of Harlem unveiled a brand new single uniting Swizz Beatz and Freddie Gibbs alongside 93shoota titled, “We Want Justice Goddammit!” Production is handled by Avenue Beat who combines plaintive violin strings and military drum rolls for an epic banger. Swizz handles hook duties with Freddie adding additional “Goddamit!” on the ad-libs. 93shoota weaves through the production with a grimey flow detailing the fight for justice. Gibbs, who is currently revving up for the release of a new album, merges his street experience with socio-political themes for yet another stand-out verse to add to his resume.

Quotable Lyrics
I took this shit from Carolina Park to Calabassas
Smoke in the Bentley, gotta watch it when I’m dumpin’ ashes
Fuck them polices, I’m blowin’ clouds when I’m ridin’ past ’em

Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, & Tiffany Haddish Among Comedians Attendting Paul Mooney Tribute

by

Paul Mooney was such a rock and inspiration in the comedian community. His contributions to the art form exceed that of many of the most popular comedians today, and so he will be remembered as a legend, a king even. And so Mooney will have a king’s memorial. Jamie Masada, the owner and founder of Laugh Factory, tells TMZ that there will be a tribute show at the club. Mooney was a staple at the comedy club, which only makes the memorial that much sweeter. The beloved comedian passed away at 79 from a heart attack. 

Mooney’s memorial will take place on Thursday at 3 PM. Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart, and Tiffany Haddish are all confirmed to appear. Of course, the attendee list will continue to grow as the event gets closer. Mooney’s twin sons, who are also comedians, Dwayne and Daryl, will also be there. Guests may dabble in some stand up, and share their favorite Mooney stories.

Dave Chappelle is determined to make sure history remembers Mooney (as if Mooney hasn’t done that himself already). The legendary comedian told TMZ that Mooney will be, “sorely missed and wildly remembered” adding that he’ll personally see to that last part himself. RIP a great one, Paul Mooney!
