As the world continues to pray for DMX’s recovery, another misinformation scare happened on Thursday night after comedian Luenell falsely claimed that the legendary rapper had been taken off of life support. The news was quickly corrected by DMX’s manager Steve Rifkind, who released a video statement confirming that the rapper remained on life support and was still alive.
We’re all anxious to find out the latest updates on DMX’s condition, and last night’s scare prompted many to share premature “RIP DMX” messages on social media, which actually ended up trending for a few hours on Twitter. Alabama rapper Yung Bleu posted his own message on Instagram, praying that the rumors weren’t true and revealing that he was recently in contact with Dark Man X to collaborate on Bleu’s upcoming album.
Posting a log of their DMs on Instagram, Yung Bleu wrote, “HOPE ITS NOT TRUE ! I Hope I don’t GOT one of THE LAST DMX FEATUREs. I was gonna suprise [sic] the world with it on my album f*ck. I don’t no if the news true but I’m praying for you Og. F*ck the music! I’m praying for you as the person as the father as the legend!”
The post was deleted after DMX’s manager released a statement confirming the rapper was still alive. Many are criticizing Yung Bleu for the timing of this message, calling him out for allegedly clout-chasing on the situation. “Weird way to try and get hype for your single,” wrote a commenter after the messages were reposted by DJ Akademiks.
Do you think it was corny for Yung Bleu to announce the song now?
If you know, you know. $NOT has been buzzing hard for the last few years, becoming a viral underground sensation and recruiting fans to join his growing base. The 23-year-old rapper worked extensively with prolific videographer Cole Bennett last year on two music videos, dropping them back-to-back and earning lots of praise in the process. With his hoodie tied tightly over his face, the Florida-based rapper has become one of the rappers to watch for this year.
For weeks, he’s been hyping up the release of his next video “Whipski” with Lil Skies, which he worked on with Cole Bennett again. The video is finally out and it’s every bit as entertaining as you would have expected.
$NOT and Skies start off the video as auto repair shop employees before they attack their boss and take a van for a joyride. The whip breaks down though and their manager ends up catching up to them but there’s a problem– he’s wielding a flamethrower. The man burns their car before getting struck by a passing vehicle. A UFO then flies by before two alien girls offer them a ride. We’ll let you find out how it ends.
Check out the new video for $NOT and Lil Skies’s new song “Whipski” below.
Quotable Lyrics:
Black Panthеr, I’m the Killmonger
I’m the real monster, AMG with the Dodge Charger
I just want me a bad b*tch for the summer
Always on my bummer, I’m a real lover
How can I recover? I’ma have to suffer
F*ck that, grab the gat, I’m a gunner

Earlier today, Miguel surprised fans by unleashing a near-decade follow-up to his 2012 Art Dealer Chic EP series: Art Dealer Chic 4. The release of his new EP marks the RCA artist’s first project since his 2017 album War & Leisure, and it features four songs, including the previously heard 2019 single “Funeral.”
“So I Lie” is the closing track to Miguel’s latest EP, and it finds the singer-songwriter exploring the way in which popular culture and social media thrives off fun, hilarious moments but also other people’s pain. In the song’s chorus, Miguel sums it up quite eloquently, saying, “Laugh and the world will laugh, too/ Cry and the world laughs at you.”
“So I Lie” also arrives alongside wavy new visuals. The video starts with Miguel revealing that he’s been dreaming about dead frogs, which according to him signifies “the end of a cycle.” He then hops on a motorcycle and rides out as “So I Lie” starts playing. Trippy edits accentuate gorgeous shots of Miguel on a beach, and a bulk of the visuals are actually presented in a square, Instagram-like ratio.
Check out the stunning music video for Miguel’s new song “So I Lie” below.
Quotable Lyrics
I can barely breathe treading water
Smile on my face while I’m turning blue
Nobody cares, just work harder
I do what I can to avoid the truth
When it comes to hip-hop dynasties, many conversations on the topic tend to look to examine the past. Yet one in particular has managed to establish greatness in this modern era — Westside Gunn’s Griselda Records, a Buffalo-bred movement that has almost single-handled returned golden-era lyricism to the mainstream. With his upcoming album Sincerely Adolf on the way, Gunn has joined forces with Peter Rosenberg, who is currently in the midst of unveiling his own A&R’d compilation album Real Late.
On the same day that his brother Conway The Machine delivered a new single of his own in “Blood Roses,” Gunn and Rosenberg dropped off “Stain,” a grimy cut produced by Bvlvm and JR Swift. By now, it’s already clear that Westside Gunn’s “Ayo” signals an epic stream of violent and vivid lyricism. The only thing capable of bringing him to a stop is the innate desire to let fly a spirited cry of BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM BOOM. The more BOOMS, the harder the bars feel like a fair rule of thumb.
“The baddest bitch I ever fucked, I forgot her name,” he raps. “Shoot your block solo, it’s not a game / I’m talkin’ blood everywhere, all type of brains / I’m sayin’ stain on stain on top of stain.” So far, Rosenberg’s Real Late is shaping up to be a gem, and we look forward to its complete release. What do you make of Westside Gunn’s “Stain?”
The baddest bitch I ever fucked, I forgot her name
Shoot your block solo, it’s not a game
I’m talkin’ blood everywhere, all type of brains
I’m sayin’ stain on stain on top of stain
Around Christmas time, Quavo generously gifted Saweetie, his girlfriend at the time, a fully customized new Bentley. The luxurious new whip came equipped in an icy blue wrap, perfect to complete Saweetie’s look. Back then, it was impossible to predict that the car would end up becoming one of the central components to their messy breakup but, alas, here we are.
There were rumors flying around that Quavo had sent a repo man to take back the Bentley in the days following their shocking split. It was seemingly confirmed that those rumors were false, but in a new song preview, Quavo appears to be fanning the flames by stating that he actually did take back the car.
As reported by a few hip-hop blog sites on social media, Quavo seems to diss his ex-girlfriend Saweetie when he says, “Lil’ bitty b*tch, she slimy, she sneaky/I’m takin’ back that Bentley.” It’s unclear when this track was first previewed but it was shared alongside the following alleged caption: “Skrtttt Skrtt takin back dat Bently!! F*ck dem hoes now I gotta act stingy [laughing emoji] new Huncho & Petro otw.”
Clearly, Quavo is still feeling pretty petty about his breakup, as most Aries men would. This isn’t the first time he has seemingly dissed Saweetie in a song snippet. At the end of last month, he shared another snippet where he says, “Young n***a burnt out, burnt out/12 pulling up so we burned out/Sweet little b*tch now she turnt out.” Many believed that to also be some shade at Saweetie.
Listen to the song preview below.
One of Chicago’s finest rap talents, Polo G continues his prolific run with the release of his new single and music video “RAPSTAR”.
The 22-year-old rapper is pushing toward superstardom, gaining a lot of respect over the years with his full-length efforts THE GOAT and Die A Legend. Since releasing “Pop Out” with Lil Tjay, the two then-buzzing stars have grown substantially with Polo taking a more lyrical approach to his art. Priding himself on never delivering a weak verse, Capalot has been switching up his delivery ever-so-slightly during this current era, pushing for a more aggressive sound in previous single releases. With “RAPSTAR”, he’s back to the same style we know and love him for.
The ukelele-based trap beat was produced by Einer Bankz and Synco, with Polo rapping about his success as a wealthy young artist in the chorus.
This track is a highlight from Polo’s recently-released material, and it’s expected to appear on the rapper’s upcoming album Hall Of Fame. Stay tuned for more new music from Polo G.
Quotable Lyrics:
They say I’m Pac rebirthed, never put out a weak verse
Homicides when we lurk, I’ma step ’til my feet hurt
Weren’t puttin’ them streets first
White tees turned burgundy t-shirts
Lookin’ for somethin’ real, he stuck in a deep search
Anxiety killin’ me, I just want to leave Earth
When they ask if I’m okay, it just make everything seem worse
There appears to be hope on the horizon in terms of the ongoing pandemic, as more and more people are getting COVID-19 vaccines by the day. While the world is gradually opening back up, events that would draw large crowds are still mostly not happening quite yet. It may seem surprising, then, that Electric Daisy Carnival Las Vegas is going on with its 2021 event. Furthermore, it’s happening surprisingly soon, as the festival is set for May 21 to 23.
Pasquale Rotella — the founder and CEO of Insomniac Events, the company behind EDC — shared the news last night, noting that organizers “are moving forward as planned & will be working closely with local & state officials to make the show as safe as possible” and that “more details on safety protocols & the lineup will be shared soon.” He offered no indication that the event — which usually draws about 125,000 attendees per day, as Billboard notes — will be hosted in a reduced capacity, writing, “You can expect the full EDC experience with no details spared, from the festival grounds to the music, stages, art, performers, artists & fireworks!”
This news arrived shortly after Dr. Anthony Fauci said the number of new COVID-19 cases in the US is currently at a “disturbingly high level” and noted that the country could experience a surge in new cases. He concluded, “Hang in there a bit longer. Now is not the time, as I’ve said so many times, to declare victory prematurely.”
Check out Rotella’s post below.
“Electric Daisy Carnival is finally on the horizon. There were times during the pandemic when many of us lost hope. We were challenged to learn & listen to our hearts & trust that the storm would eventually pass, making way for a bright & sunny future for those in our community & around the world.
With the world being shutdown for over a year, I’m happy to announce we’re on our way to being able to celebrate in person. Book your flights, hotels & shuttles — EDC Las Vegas is on for May 21+22+23!
We are moving forward as planned & will be working closely with local & state officials to make the show as safe as possible. You can expect the full EDC experience with no details spared, from the festival grounds to the music, stages, art, performers, artists & fireworks! I look forward to seeing all your beautiful faces & feeling your incredible energy, and I couldn’t be more excited.
More details on safety protocols & the lineup will be shared soon. If you’re unable to attend in May 2021, no worries, but you’ll be missed. You can go to the link in my bio to transfer your ticket to 2022.
We’re ready to spread our wings & embrace our community who we miss so much. We know there may be challenges in front of us, which we will accept & do our best to overcome. We’ve been apart for a long time & I can’t wait to join you, united, Under the Electric Sky.”
