JOE BUDDENS COMES AT DRAKE, JAY-Z AND MEEK MILL
Joe Budden came out firing at Drake in the best way he knows how. Buddens is notorious for feuding with a number of rappers through the years. On “Making A Murderer” not only does he fire at Drake, he also goes at Jay-Z and Meek Mill, making it a full onslaught.
BATTLE BARS
“No alliances with Meek/It’s still fuck him too.”
“Since the OG’s Hov, here’s what I wanna know,”
“If ain’t no real ni**as allowed the fuck would I wanna go? / That’s thinkin’ back to Jay, now let’s get back to Drake / Both too big to respond to all I have to say / Still with all their success and all their accolades / The universe makes it so they come right back to me.”
LOGIC DROPS SURPRISE MIXTAPE
Logic went on a Q&A session with Power 106’s J. Cruz and Hot 97’s Ebro earlier this week, where he answered questions from both radio personalities as well as fans.
During the Q&A he didn’t mention anything about the new project titled, “Bobby Tarantino.” He did drop his new song “Slave” which is on the new project along with “Flexecution” and “Wrist” featuring Pusha T. As always Logic’s artwork is on point.
Logic is currently embarking on “The Endless Summer Tour” along with G-Eazy, YG and Yo Gotti. Get your tickets HERE.
2 CHAINZ DROPS “FEAT 2 CHAINZ PT. 5” MIXTAPE
If you’re familiar with 2 Chainz, you know he’s usually featured on either an original or remixed versions of the hottest club bangers. Chainz dropped a mixtape of the hottest tracks he’s been featured on in the past couple months.

DJ Khaled finally dropped the second single off his forthcoming album, ‘Major Key,’ titled “I Got The Keys” featuring Jay-Z and Future. The single that has been rumored and teased for months was everything we expected it to be. Hov fires off his flow in the only way he knows how, with provocative lyrics and major wit, while Future slays the hook.

BEYONCE’S LEMONADE GOES PLATINUM
When Beyonce dropped ‘Lemonade’ earlier this year fans everywhere were in a frenzy as the album dropped via an HBO special. The album was officially given a platinum certification earlier this week.
The platinum plaque is the sixth for Beyonce, whom originally released the album exclusively on TIDAL.
‘Lemonade’ encompasses hits “Formation,” “Freedom” featuring Kendrick Lamar and “6 Inch” featuring The Weeknd.
Big ups to Bey on the accomplishment.
FUTURE EARNS FIRST PLATINUM PLAQUE
Beyonce wasn’t the only one to grab a platinum plaque this week, Future snagged up his first platinum certification as well for ‘Dirty Sprite 2.’
Although DS2 got a platinum certification, Future still has never had a platinum which is strange when you consider some of the hits he’s put out.
Bigs ups to Future and the whole FreeBandz team on the accomplishment.
New Level 🙏🏾

Sean Don also teased the upcoming album earlier this year via Twitter.

SCHOOLBOY Q ANNOUNCES ALBUM RELEASE
ScHoolboy Q has finally set the official date for his next album to follow up Oxymoron. Q took to Twitter to announce he will be dropping the album July 8th.
TDE came out and said in late April that the album was turned in, so maybe it was a strategic move to wait and drop it in the summer.
The first single off the upcoming album was “Groovy Tony” which was followed by “THat Part” feat. Kanye West. There’s no album artwork, tracklist or title as of yet but stay tuned. In the meantime watch the video for “THat Part” that dropped this week below.
Sorry for tHe delay but album drops….

#ThrowBackTune Young Jeezy – “Seen It All” feat. Jay-Z
With Jay-Z being featured on Pusha T’s “Drug Dealers Anonymous” earlier this week, we had to take it back to another drug-related banger featuring Hov. On “Seen It All” Jay recounts some of his trials and tribulations as a drug dealer like he did on “Drug Dealers Anonymous.”

TROY AVE CHARGED WITH MURDER
An unfortunate shooting broke out at T.I.’s concert in New York City earlier this week that lead to three shot and one murdered.
The man murdered was Ronald McPhatter, 33, a member of Troy Ave’s BSB entourage. McPhatter was an associate of Troy’s and also his personal trainer.
In a video released by the venue you can see Troy retaliating for the shooting of his deceased friend. Troy was later charged with attempted murder for shooting in an open club.
T.I. had nothing to do with the shooting and later released a statement on his socials that read:
Rest In Peace Bro. God bless. pic.twitter.com/Vq6qFnq5bC

Let’s hope senseless acts of violence like this don’t continue in the future.
GUCCI MANE RELEASED
For months hip-hop fans tweeted and sported shirts that read “Free Gucci.” This week the Atlanta rapper was released from a federal correctional facility in Terre Haute, Indiana, after serving roughly 39 months on weapons charges.
Guwop is known to be a workhorse and wasted no time getting back to work. In less than 24 hours of being free, he released a track titled “First Day Out Tha Feds,” which was followed up with a mixtape.
‘First Day Out Tha Feds’ the mixtape dropped last night at fittingly, 10:17 p.m. — an homage to the rapper’s 1017 Bricksquad label.
In just one day the mixtape was streamed over a million times! Good to see Gucci back out here. Stream the full mixtape below:
THE WEEKND & BELLY CANCEL APPEARANCE ON KIMMEL
Apparently YG and Nipsey Hussle aren’t the only two names in hip-hop that feel a certain way about Donald Trump. The Weeknd and Belly recently canceled their scheduled performance on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ because they didn’t want to be associated with the Republican delegate according to The Associated Press.
Both XO artists were in LA this week to record their performance for the song “Might Not” before learning Trump was going to be on the same episode causing them to pull out. Read Belly’s statement below:
“I feel like the way I was raised was to be able to see through all the titles in this world — from religion to race,” Belly said in a statement. “I just didn’t want to feel like I was a part of a celebration for somebody who has beliefs that majority of us don’t agree with.”
“I’m here on a campaign of positivity and love and to contribute what I can to music,” Belly continued. “I create songs people go to sleep and wake up to, songs that they fall in love to. For me, being Muslim and being somebody that appreciates my access here in America, I love the fact that I’m able to be here. To play my part in this business is a privilege and a beautiful thing. The fact that I could lose that ability through the actions of someone such as Donald Trump isn’t right to me. At all.”
Nice to see artists with their stature take a stance.
ALL THE WAY UP REMIXES
One of the hottest songs of the year is Fat Joe & Remy Ma’s “All The Way Up,” produced by Cool & Dre.
When a song is as hot as “All The Way Up” everyone wants to hop on the remix or spit something to it. This week Jay-Z dropped some solid bars over the instrumental for the “official remix.”
Jigga wasn’t the only one to spit bars over the cold beat as Meek Mill and Fabolous also had a remix of their own, followed by Jadakiss.
Listen to all the remixes below and tell us in the comments which one you think is best.

L.A. TO HOST SUPERBOWL
The last time the Superbowl was hosted in L.A. was 1980! This week it was announced that the city will be hosting the event in 2021.
That’s a major victory for a city that finally got a NFL team after a drought of over 20 years. It came as no surprise tho with L.A. being a major market and a very attractive city.
Can’t wait to take part in all the festivities and the full experience. It’s gonna be litty!

Fat Joe & Remy Ma – “All The Way Up” (Remix) feat. Jay-Z (Audio)
There’s been a lot of chatter around the industry of Jay-Z releasing some new music. Yesterday, a remix of Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s “All The Way Up” was released and featured a vicious verse from Hov. The Roc Nation head honcho makes various references from his D’usse cognac to bragging about all his GRAMMYs, but none was bigger than the “Lemonade” reference on the track.
“You know you made it when the fact/ Your marriage made it is worth millions/ Lemonade is a popular drink and it still is/ Survival of the littest,” he spits at the beginning of the verse. Can’t wait to see what else is to come from Hovito. There’s been rumors about a track with Future and DJ Khaled, along with others. He should make a big splash this summer.
Shoutout to Pecas for making this happen and listen to the confidence in Fat Joe and Remy Ma’s verses. You can hear they’re all the way back! Good to see!

Drake Makes It On Forbes Five List
Forbes put out their annual “Forbes Five: Hip-Hop’s Wealthiest Artists” list with some familiar names and a new one.
Diddy topped the list with an estimated net worth of $750-million for his stakes in Ciroc vodka, Revolt network, Aquahydrate alkaline water and SeanJohn clothing.
Dr. Dre came in at No. 2 with $710-millon much of which came with the sale of his Beats by Dre headphones brand to Apple. Last year’s N.W.A. biopic also reeled in a nice amount of revenue. In addition he also has stocks in Apple and a plethora of real estate in Southern California.
Jay-Z cruised in at No. 3 with $610-millon for his TIDAL streaming service that has over 3-million subscribers and also a slew of other business ventures including D’usse and Ace of Spades champagne.
At No. 4 was Bryan “Birdman” Williams with $110-million for the success of multiplatinum selling artists, Lil Wayne, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Put some “respeck” on that.
The final and newest member of the list at No. 5 is OVO head-honcho, Drake with $60-million. The music sales definitely helped, but Drizzy owes most of it to touring and partnerships with Jordan, Apple and Sprite.
All five of them combine for a total of over $2-billion combined.
50 Cent’s bankruptcy struggles kept him off the list this year.
See the full breakdown HERE.
