Czarface & MF DOOM’s New Album Drops This Week

by

MF DOOM’s passing still weighs heavy on his substantial fanbase, many of whom have taken solace in the stellar discography he left behind. Being among the game’s prolific emcees, it’s no surprise that DOOM put in work in the studio prior to his death, and today it has been confirmed that his first posthumous release is officially on the way.

The project in question, Czarface & MF DOOM: Super What? is another collaboration between DOOM and Czarface, the duo consisting of 7L & Esoteric and Wu-Tang lyricist Inspectah Deck. In March of 2018, the pair connected for their debut release Czarface Meets Metal Face, a masterclass in underground lyricism as expected. Two years later, their follow-up effort is on the way, with Esoteric opening up about the road to its release in an Instagram announcement post.

“Czarface & MF DOOM: “Super What?” was recorded and slated to drop in April of 2020,” reads the post, which arrives alongside the comic-book-inspired cover. “When COVID-19 struck and the world stopped, we chose to pull it, focus on family, and fine-tune a few elements on it. What you’ll be hearing was finalized, mixed & mastered in the summer of 2020, and it’s our honor and privilege to share it with you Friday.”

“I speak for everyone involved when I say we were incredibly fortunate to have collaborated with DOOM,” continues Esoteric. “He was a one-of-a-kind, never-to-be-duplicated emcee, producer, and visionary. We wish peace and healing to his family, friends and everyone touched by the gifts he shared with the planet. MF DOOM FOREVER.”

Look for Super What? to arrive this coming Friday, May 7th. Interested parties can secure a physical copy at MF DOOM’s webstore, where the official tracklist is revealed as follows:

1. The King And Eye (feat. DMC of Run DMC)
2. Czarwyn’s Theory Of People Getting Loose (feat. Kendra Morris)
3. Mando Calrissian
4. DOOM Unto Others
5. Jason & The Czargonauts (feat. Del The Funky Homosapien)
6. Break In The Action
7. A Name To The Face
8. This Is Canon Now
9. So Strange (feat. Godforbid)
10. Young World

Meek Mill Buys $50,000 Of Dogecoin As Prices Inflate Due To Increased Media Attention

Crypto mania continues to tighten its hold on hip-hop as more and more jump on the blockchain wave in the hopes of a big payday. Just a week after Eminem reportedly pulled down almost $2 million selling a collection of NFTs and Nas purportedly made out like a bandit thanks to early investment in the cryptocurrency exchange platform Coinbase (prompting him to dub himself the “Cryptocurrency Scarface” on DJ Khaled’s “Sorry Not Sorry”), Meek Mill has joined in the feeding frenzy, buying $50,000 worth of the meme currency Dogecoin as prices rise in the wake of increased media coverage (but not scrutiny).

The rise was precipitated by this year’s flurry of coverage of the Reddit-shorted GameStop stock, as offshoots of the movement turned their focus to Dogecoin (“To the moon!”), like a rabbit hole with enticing lighting strewn up around it. After Elon Musk and his cultis– er, fans — sent the price flying thanks to a tweet from the SpaceX mogul, it looked like Dogecoin might actually be worth something, and noticing this Meek felt a fierce case of FOMO.

“I just grabbed some doge I’m tired of missing out,” he said on Twitter. Meanwhile, on Instagram, he posted a screenshot revealing both his investment — $50,000, or the price of a midsize sedan, or more than many Americans make in a year, depending on how you look at it — and his chronic misunderstanding of investment practices (buy low, sell high, Meek!).

We’ll see if it works out for him but for now, it looks like he’s another person who’s bullish on cryptocurrency and betting he can cash out before the casino closes.

Quotable Lyrics
Young n***a had to get used to the bag
N***a got rich, I ain’t even have a mixtape
N***a got rich, I was only 18
Couldn’t even go to the club and get shitfaced
Diamonds, they drunk and they dancin, get shitfaced
Remember we got into it with the switchblade?
Brody got hot in the hood, had to switch states

Zonnique Trolled Over T.I. & Tiny’s Sex Trafficking Allegations On IG Live

by

Clifford “T.I.” Harris and Tameka “Tiny” Harris has been accused by dozens of women of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and other serious crimes. Most recently, three new alleged victims came forward this month to accuse the couple of drugging, sex trafficking, rape, and more. As the victims and their lawyers seek an investigation into the Harris couple, uninvolved parties are being forced to entertain the public’s cries for more information. 

Zonnique Pullins, Tiny’s daughter and T.I.’s step-daughter, was recently on Instagram Live when a fan joined the video and asked if they could rap for her. When she agreed to listen to the aspiring artist, Zonnique was trolled by the fan, who started berating her over the allegations against her parents. “So, question, when is your parents going to jail for taking all them people?” asked the fan. “How many kids are in the dungeon? When they going to jail?”

Zonnique was mature about the incident, remaining calm as the man continually yelled over her. She told them that she lives by herself and has nothing to do with the allegations against her parents before attempting to figure out how to remove him from the chat, which she eventually did after two minutes. 

The uncomfortable exchange is available below. What do you think about this? We will continue to keep you updated as more information is released regarding the allegations against T.I. and Tiny.

Coi Leray’s Latest Thirst Trap Shows Off Her Goods In The Back & Front

by

Benzino’s baby gir— err, sorry! Rap sensation Coi Leray is currently taking the hip-hop world by storm, mainly due to the viral success of her TikTok hit “No More Parties” with Lil Durk and the current banger “BIG PURR (Prrdd)” alongside Tennessee’s current hometown hip-hop hero Pooh Shiesty. Similar to many female emcees before her, Coi is also a grade-A baddie with a fire body to prove it — a body that she also has zero problems showing off.

Giving a grand preview of the goods to all four million of her Instagram followers, the Republic Records signee left little to the imagination over a series of three flicks she recently posted on the social media platform. The first one gave a nice peak at her backside, which given her petite frame surprisingly gave her that “caked-up” look that we’re pretty sure she was going for. The second photo was a bit more covered up, with Coi opting to throw on a pair of oversized baggy jeans in the vain of ’90s Aaliyah, paired with a single”Black/Cement” Air Jordan 3 sneaker and what appears to be Lilo & Stitch earmuffs — equally as confused as y’all, but moving on!

The third pic is the one that we’d bet really made her followers “purr,” showing off a dangerous combo of bottom-of-the-boob cleavage and the infamous camel toe flex, complimented further with a blue butterfly thong. As if that wasn’t enough, Spongebob socks and Powerpuff Girls tattoos solidified her place as the ultimate hip-hop crush. Hey…if you got it, flaunt it!
