OMB Peezy Recruits King Von, Rylo Rodriguez, Blac Youngsta & More For ‘Too Deep For Tears’ Album

by

After releasing the high-energy “Dope Boy” single with his fellow Mobile, Alabama, rapper Rylo Rodriguez at the beginning of February, anticipation for OMB Peezy’s next album skyrocketed. Unfortunately, there was a slight kink in the Loyalty Over Love rapper’s album rollout as earlier this month, he was reportedly arrested in connection to the shooting at Roddy Ricch and 42 Dugg’s music video shoot. Since being released from jail, OMB Peezy has denied the accusations against him, and now he’s shifting focus to his long-awaited album, Too Deep For Tears.

Despite the negativity that Peezy has endured this month, Too Deep For Tears is an impressive new record that’s deeply rooted in speaking positive manifestations and figuring out a way to move past a life full of pain. In addition to the previously released Rylo Rodriguez-assisted song “Dope Boy,” OMB Peezy’s latest album features huge guest appearances from underground and mainstream acts such as Blac Youngsta, Jacquees, Sniper Gang artist Jackboy, and the late King Von.

With a runtime of just 45 minutes, finding some time to listen to OMB Peezy’s album Too Deep For Tears this weekend shouldn’t be too difficult, so don’t sleep on the Mobile, Alabama artist’s impressive new full-length effort.

Eddie Murphy Tells Kevin Hart He Plans To Return To Stand-Up

by

Eddie Murphy rose to fame after appearing as a cast member on the sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live from 1980 to 1984. During this same time, he also became a prolific stand-up comedian, cementing himself as both influential and controversial with specials like Delirious and Eddie Murphy Raw. Since then, Murphy has worked primarily as an actor, occasionally teasing a return to the comedy stage. On Thursday, however, Murphy told Kevin Hart that his stand-up return might be sooner than we originally thought.

This week, Murphy appeared on Kevin Hart’s SiriusXM podcast Comedy Gold Minds with Kevin Hart to promote his new Amazon Prime film Coming 2 America. During the show, Hart jokingly pressed Murphy about the constant teasing of his stand-up return, saying, “Eddie, I don’t like talking to you about stand-up no more. I’m not fallin’ for the f*ckin’ trap. I’m sick of you, I’m sick of your sh*t. Every time we talk, he leaves me with a piece of information, and I feel like I got gold.” 

Eddie said he had actually planned on returning to stand-up before the pandemic, telling Hart, “My plan was to do Dolemite, Saturday Night Live, Coming 2 America and then do stand-up. And then the pandemic hit, and it shut the whole sh*t down. Then I was going – the whole time last year I would have been out working on my act trying to get my sh*t right, and then the whole thing shut down.” 

Murphy also added that when things finally return to normal, his plans of returning to stand-up remain the same, saying, “Hey, when the pandemic is over and it’s safe for everybody to go out and do it, then the plan is to do it.”

T.I. & Tiny’s Lawyer Denies Reports Of An Attempted Deal

by

T.I. and Tiny have recently found themselves embroiled in an escalating legal situation, following a slew of allegations accusing the couple of sexual assault, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, forced imprisonment, and more.

Recently, Attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn, who currently represents eleven of the women speaking out against Tip and Tameka Harris, accused the pair’s legal team of attempting to make a deal behind-the-scenes. He maintains that his clients remain vigilant in their search for justice, and as such, no such deal would be accepted unless Tip and Tiny turned themselves in.

Following the claim from Blackburn, T.I and Tiny’s lawyer Steve Sadow denied the allegations against his clients. “I understand that at a virtual press conference today, attorney Blackburn claimed the Harrises reached out to him through me to supposedly make a deal,” he states, in a report from CBS 46. “That is patently false. I reached out to see if he would share any information since his name was posted on Instagram as the attorney for Sabrina Peterson. Blackburn repeatedly refused to provide the names of his accuser-clients or any corroborating or supporting evidence of his groundless claims.”

He also reiterates his stance that the accusers’ are making baseless claims, alluding to a social media movement aimed to bring down his clients. “We are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming. These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media,” says Sadow. “The Harrises implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.”

As this story is still developing, we’ll be sure to bring you updates on the situation as it unfolds.

LBS Kee’vin Self-Reflects On “Soul Burden” With Fredo Bang

by

One of the most exciting artists emerging from Florida’s loaded rap scene, LBS Kee’vin is breathing new life into Pensacola’s hip-hop presence. Not many rappers have broken out of LBS Kee’vin’s neighborhood, so it means a lot for the 24-year-old to be getting the kind of buzz he’s been blessed with.

Following his breakout Belair Baby releases, as well as the hit record “Shining” with 42 Dugg, LBS Kee’vin is looking to make a big splash this year with lots of new music. He’s continuing his run with the release of “Soul Burden”, featuring another rising talent, rapper Fredo Bang.

The song is an introspective look into how Kee’vin and Fredo Bang have been living as of late. With eerie chords, a trap drumbeat, and street lyrics, Fredo and Kee’vin’s new song is sure to be a successful one with the right moves.

Listen to “Soul Burden” below and let us know if you’re vibing with it in the comments.

Quotable Lyrics:

Ain’t lovin’ on no b*tch I couldn’t f*ck if I was broke ’cause it’s a guarantee the second you in jail that she gon’ go
I can’t call you my brother, you weren’t with me out there trappin’ out the store, I couldn’t call you when the police kicked the door
Ain’t see it comin’, that’s a shame on me
Burden on my mind, it put the blame on me
They tried to apologize, but it ain’t no need
I cross ’em out when they decide to hate on me and put a date on me

LeBron James Explains Donovan Mitchell & Rudy Gobert Being Picked Last

by

Last night was a big one for the NBA as LeBron James and Kevin Durant got together to draft their All-Star teams for this Sunday. Fans were wondering how each player would decide to go and for the most part, it was fairly predictable. For instance, LeBron took Giannis Antetokounmpo with the first overall pick, which is something that every fan should have seen coming.

Perhaps the strangest occurrence in the draft was the fact that Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert, the two Utah Jazz players, were picked last. The Jazz are first in the Western Conference this season which had fans thinking they would be more respected. As LeBron explained, however, the Jazz are a franchise that he never thought about as a kid playing video games, and that’s why he didn’t think to take the two Jazz superstars.

“There’s no slander to the Utah Jazz,” LeBron said. “You’ve got to understand, just like in video games growing up, we never played with Utah. As great as Karl Malone and John Stockton was, we would never pick those guys in video games.” 

Despite the explanation, many saw this as a direct shot at the Jazz, who are a team with a ton of potential. Of course, NBA Twitter likes to blow things out of proportion which certainly made things a bit worse. Regardless, Mitchell and Gobert are All-Stars, which is all that really matters.

Pop Smoke And Polo G Show Off Their ‘Fashion’ Sense On The ‘Boogie’ Soundtrack

by

At the time of his death, Pop Smoke was one of the hottest commodities in the rap game but he wasn’t the only drill-influenced artist with a stranglehold on radio and playlists. Chicago artist Polo G, working from the blueprint established by Windy City forebearers like Chief Keef and Lil Durk, also had a parade of hits traveling down the pipeline. Although the two shared common roots — they were even the same age — they never got to work together while Pop was alive. That’s a shame because “Fashion,” their posthumous collaboration from the Boogie soundtrack, is a stone-cold banger.

Built over a more New York drill-style beat — which is, technically, more of a UK drill style — the track leaves plenty of space for the two rappers’ lyrics to breathe, although there is a truly thunderous low-end typical of the style as well. There’s an interesting contrast between their styles as well, Pop’s gravelly, laid-back growl offering a smooth complement to Polo’s jagged, high-energy cadence.

Boogie, Pop Smoke’s acting debut and Eddie Huang’s directorial one, is out today via Focus Films. It follows a first-generation Chinese-American high-school hoop star as he tries to decide what to do with his future, with Pop Smoke playing his rival. Pop appears multiple times on the soundtrack, including on the song “AP.” The music for the film is by New York rap legend Ali Shaheed Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest and go-to New York hip-hop television composer Adrian Younge, who previously worked on Marvel’s Luke Cage.

Listen to “Fashion” above.

Lil Nas X: 5 things about him

Georgia rapper Lil Nas X has been making waves in the music industry for some time now. After hit after hit, he’s broken records and is on his way to becoming a household name for a lot of people. With that being said, here’s 5 things you didn’t know about the “Old Town Road” rapper. […]

Lil Durk, King Von, & Booka600 Unite For “Out The Roof”

by

Every rapper worth their salt should probably have a crew on hand, so it’s no surprise to see Lil Durk step up with his Only The Family roster standing behind him. Today marks the release of Only The Family’s Loyal Bros project, which finds over twenty-four contributors scattered across the twenty-three track compilation. And while there are certainly many highlights found throughout, it’s hard not to immediately gravitate toward a collaboration between Lil Durk and the late King Von, who reunite on “Out The Roof.”

Bringing 600Booka into the mix, the trifecta unite over a haunting instrumental produced by TouchOfTrent, a suitable backdrop for the menacing track. “Come run up your blick like you on that, they gon’ challenge you,” spits Durk. “I can’t even cap, I had that MAC, I held a lot of tool.” While brief, King Von closes the session with a welcome verse, though for some, the subject matter of his lyrics might take on a different light given the circumstances of his death. Still, his reflections on his bleak lifestyle was part of what made him such a compelling artist, and “Out The Roof” is a welcome reminder of what he brought to the table.

Check it out for yourself now, and sound off if you’re enjoying OTF’s new compilation tape.

QUOTABLE LYRICS

Who you got? Why you talking ’bout all them bodies?
Who you shot? Where you at? Why you talking ’bout you gon’ rob me?
If it’s that, where you at? Steady actin’ like he cocky 
I got out of jail and got a mill’ and took off like a rocket 

YG & The 4Hunnid Squad Teams Up For “Gang Affiliated” Compilation Album

by

Following months of loose singles from YG, Day Sulan, and D3Szn, the entire gang at YG’s record label 4Hunnid Records has teamed up to release a proper compilation album. Released on 4Hunnid records in partnership with epic records, the 4Hunnid compilation tape features the group of artists handpicked and developed by Compton native YG, including Day Sulan, D3Szn, Mitch, and Tay2x. Titled Gang Affiliated, 4Hunnid’s new joint album marks the label’s first project featuring all of four of YG’s artist.

At sevent tracks long, Gang Affiliated is mostly an in-house affair, but on tracks such as “Yellow Tape” and “Roxanne,” 4Hunnid recruits DDG and Band Gang Lonnie Bands for respective guest features. Although YG appears on five of the project’s seven tracks, he mostly takes the backseat to his artists, giving them the space and platform to showcase their talents. Previously heard bangers “Hit Em Up” and “Bailar” are also included on Gang Affiliated, and they are the only tracks in which 4Hunnid’s leading lady Day Sulan appears. Mitch only makes one appearance on “Might Be” while D3Szn and Tay2xs pretty much carry Gang Affiliated, with five and three appearances, respectively.

How does 4Hunnid’s roster compare to other similar Hip-Hop record labels?

Tracklist:

1. D3Szn, YG & Tay2xs – Op Vibes
2. YG, D3Szn & Day Sulan – Hit Em Up
3. Day Sulan & YG – Bailar
4. D3Szn – Yellow Tape (feat. DDG)
5. D3Szn, Day Sulan, Mitch & YG – Might Be
6. Tay2x – Roxanne (feat. Band Gang Lonnie Bands)
7. D3Szn, Tay2x & YG – My Bruddas

Kanye West Puts His Wedding Ring Back On

by

Kanye West is reportedly aware that a miracle is what it will take to win his wife back after Kim Kardashian filed for divorce, but he’s seemingly still wishing on his lucky stars because, after being photographed without his wedding ring on his left hand, he was spotted in Calabasas wearing the symbol of his love.

Upon arriving at his office compound in Calabasas, California, Kanye West was pictured by the paparazzi with a smile on his face and his wedding ring back on. While this likely signals his own confusion as to where he stands with his wife, Kanye wearing his ring could mean that the couple is working on reconciling. Of course, it could also just mean that he forgot to slide it back on last week. Do you think this means anything?
