DJ Khaled And Lil Baby Collaborate In The Studio On A “Special” Song

DJ Khaled shared a photo of himself and Lil Baby on an Instagram post getting together in the studio to collaborate on new music. Khaled implies that he’s in “album mode” in the caption.

“They ain’t believe in us, @lilbaby did!!!!!! Lil baby did!!!!!!!!!!!!!” Khaled captioned the photos. “Album mode it’s special, VERY SPECIAL! @wethebestmusic SWIPE TO BE IN THE SESSION! Win wit us or watch us win! GOD DID! Bless up my brother @lilbaby ANOTHER ONE.”

Juicy J took notice of the post and commented on one of the images. “Dat mane rolling up I know dat song gone be fie.”

Khaled has previously stated that he is working on a new album. He made a similar message devoted to 21 Savage earlier this month on his social media platforms.

Khaled, who has twelve studio albums under his belt, recently declared that in a Verzuz fight, he would be unbeatable. A new record including Baby, 21 Savage, and others would undoubtedly strengthen his case.

“I really don’t see nobody. My catalog is super strong… I mean that with love,” On Trick Daddy’s cooking show, I Got My Pots, he said. “You might want to Google it… I’ve been doing this sh*t for two decades. Khaled got hits.”

Asian Doll Claims That The Game Plagiarized Her Album Title And Release Date

Asian Doll posts and deletes a tweet about The Game’s “Drillmatic,” which has a similar title and release date to her album.

For months, The Game has been hyping his upcoming album, Drillmatic. Many rappers, like G Herbo, have predicted that the West Coast veteran’s new album will be one of the greatest of the year. So far, we’ve only heard Kanye West’s “Eazy,” which is still playing on the radio. Fans are eager to hear what the Compton rapper has cooked up with Hit-Boy, with a release date scheduled for June 17th.

The Game’s upcoming album, Asian Doll, appears to have some parallels to it. In a since-deleted tweet, the self-proclaimed Queen Of Drill expressed her feelings over The Game’s Drillmatic. Saying that the Compton MC imitated her. “Not The Game dropping on my day & his shit named ‘drillmatic’ & my shit called ‘Lets Do A Drill,'” she joked. “WTF.”

The Game has yet to respond to Asian Doll’s tweet, although it’s unlikely that he did so on purpose.

Asian Doll hasn’t put out a new project in nearly two years. Her EP, Doll DZN Reloaded, was out in 2020, and it featured a collaboration with King Von. She’s released a few singles and collaborations since then, all leading up to the release of her upcoming album.

Lil Durk Got Some New Tattoos That Pays Tribute To King Von And Brother DThang

Lil Durk Got Some New Tattoos That Pays Tribute To King Von And Brother DThang

Last night, Lil Durk posted to Instagram to show off some new tattoos he got from Los Angeles tattoo artist Ganga. Durkio’s back is now completely covered with a gorgeous skull with flocks of hair, which took eight painters and eight hours to complete. He also displayed some new modifications to his rear legs, including the word “Family” as an abbreviation for “For All Mine, I’ll Lay Yours,” “The Voice” beneath that, and a crossed-out rat on the other leg with the words “No Snitches Allowed.”

 Durk had “RIP King Von” and “RIP DThang” tatted on the front of his legs, with “Allahu Akbar” below DThang’s homage. The phrase means “God is bigger” in Arabic, and Lil Durk is a Muslim.

Given Lil Durk’s long-running dispute with 6ix9ine and his snitch behavior, the “no snitches” tattoo is particularly interesting. The complete back tattoo, on the other hand, has received a lot of praise, and artist Ganga documented the procedure on Instagram.

“Amazing whole back session in 8 hours for my bro @lildurk with my team @gangatattoola in @nopain.by.ganga

8tattoo artists in the same project we broke the record… The amazing team @joseecd @yeyo_tattoos @claytattoos@raphaelbarrostattoos @theparsetattoo @johanartss@neil.tattoo”

Lil Durk’s Front Leg Tattoos

Durk’s front leg tattoos are a memorial to King Von and DThang, two of Durk’s loved ones who unfortunately died. The “family” and “The Voice” tattoos, on the other hand, may be interpreted as another nod to them. In November of 2020, rapper King Von, a close associate of Lil Durk’s OTF crew, was tragically shot and killed in Atlanta. While Durkio had previously expressed appreciation to him, seeing such a remark written down is nonetheless profound. DThang, Lil Durk’s older brother and a member of his closest circle, was shot and died in Chicago in June of last year.

Asap Bari Calls Asap Rocky “Burnt Out” In His Instagram Post

Asap Bari slammed A$AP Rocky on Instagram on Monday, calling him “burnt out.” The remark was made in response to a post that included multiple photographs of Rocky and a clip of a song by Kingpin Skinny Pimp.

In response to the post, Bari said, “You burnt out…”

It’s unclear what sparked the rage, but supporters were quick to defend Rocky, with some bringing up Bari’s sexual assault conviction from earlier this year. Others said that Rocky is “living his best life,” and that Bari is probably envious.

“Rocky is living his best life at this point and this show will last forever for him, Rih and family,” one user said. “Accept it that Rocky is DIVINE and a BLESSED MAN so he can never be cursed. Go and put your miserable life in order and leave him alone to enjoy his life, business and beautiful family. Bye Bari the RAT.”

Bari recently accused another A$AP Mob member of being a “fucking rat” for snitching on Rocky. In April, he also got into a fight with Lil Uzi Vert. Following that, video of the incident surfaced online.

Denzel Curry also offered his thoughts on Rocky’s new photos, albeit in a more friendlier tone.

He wrote, “GIMISUM FAMILY.”

Kanye West And Vory Collaborates On Pusha T Approved ‘Daylight’

Kanye West teams up with Donda collaborator Vory on his new single, “Daylight.” Kanye contributes a verse and handles the hook on the track, which was out on Tuesday (May 31) and features Ojivolta, 88-Keys, Ratatat’s Evan Mast, and Ye himself on production.

Vory’s debut album, Lost Souls, is expected to be out on Friday, and “Daylight” is set to appear on it (June 3). The song was previously featured on Kanye West’s Donda album’s early tracklists and was performed at one of the album’s Las Vegas listening parties.

On Monday (May 30), Pusha T came to Instagram Stories to compliment “Daylight” and Vory’s upcoming album.

“@vory You know #Daylight might still be my favorite song in the world,” he said. “can’t wait til the world here’s your album. Congrats.”

Vory appeared on Kanye West’s Donda album in August 2021 on the songs “No Child Left Behind” and “God Breathed,” as well as having his own song “Lord Lift Me Up” on Donda 2. Vory discussed his friendship with Kanye West and the development of “No Child Left Behind” in an interview with XXL magazine in November.

Vory Discussed His Relationship With Ye

“We understand each other,” Vory stated. “Our vibe is crazy, though. Even his childhood friends are like, ‘You would think y’all have known each other for years.’ With ‘No Child Left Behind,’ [Kanye] had an idea that was basically, ‘Never abandon your child.’ That’s what he was trying to run with, and so that was a whole different song. And then I was like, ‘Nah bro, say something [that] means the same thing, but it’s a different saying. More of a quote.’”

Kanye West advised him to avoid gimmicks in favor of developing a great discography that speaks for itself, he said.

“I was having a talk with Kanye and he was like, ‘Bro, it’s more powerful that way. You’re gaining a real fan base that way,’” he explained.

Asap Rocky Pays Tribute To Virgil Abloh And Gives An Update On His Album

Asap Rocky is a fantasist. Growing up in Harlem, even the greatest authors couldn’t write his life tale. As the 33-year-old welcomed a child with Rihanna earlier this month. On Monday (May 30), the Mob boss sat down for his first fatherhood interview with Dazed, in which he shared some of his hopes for his child.

Rocky hopes their baby boy never loses his imagination, despite the generational wealth advantages they will enjoy. He revealed that he still enjoys shows such as Teletubbies and the Nickelodeon classic Blue’s Clues.

“I will always remind my children to never lose their imagination, even as adults, no matter what,” he said. “I actually love to watch cartoons I’ve watched like, Teletubbies, Blue’s Clues, Yo Gabba Gabba, Peppa Pig and Baby Shark.”

“I hope to raise open-minded children. Not people who discriminate. And I’m not trying to describe a saint, but realistically, I just want a cool child with cool parents.”

Asap Rocky Pays Tribute To Virgil Abloh

Rocky continued the subject of innovation and design by paying tribute to late Louis Vuitton artistic director Virgil Abloh and saluting him for all of the inspiration he provided to Black creatives. Long.Live, Virgil’s 2013 album, had artwork made by Virgil. A$AP.

“Virgil was an oracle for a lot of us Black kids and young creatives,” he added. “Even if you take ethnicity or nationality out of it, he influenced so much culture, whether hip hop, fashion or Louis Vuitton. You can’t really distinguish streetwear from high fashion at this point.”

In terms of his next album, the “Fashion Killa” rapper clarified that it will not be titled All Smiles.

“One thing I can tell you is that the name isn’t gonna be All Smiles – you know, I never publicly said that my album was called All Smiles,” Rocky debunked. “That one is more of a concept project, it’s music and more. I’m wrapping up the new album now; I’ve been shooting so many visuals for it.”

“I don’t want to be cliche or sound like a salesman, but I’ve pushed myself to the limit on everything. Going from that industrial, subversive sound from Testing and then graduating with a more polished sound… I just like where it is.”

Lil Pump Gets A Youngster Sneakers After Losing Rock Paper Scissors Game

Lil Pump is notorious for becoming viral for the wrong reasons, but this time was different. A young admirer challenged him to a game of rock, paper, scissors with a free pair of sneakers on the line when he was out shopping at a high-end sneaker resale shop.

Pump threw out a paper after a tie and the kid cut it with scissors for the loss. He welcomed the youngster (who couldn’t have been more than 12 years old) into the store and encouraged him to browse. Fortunately for Pump, the winner chose a pair of Black Paisley Nike Dunks instead of a more expensive pair of Dior Air Jordan 1s.

“You a smart kid,” the “Gucci Gang” The rapper informed the youngster. “I got those same ones. [We could] match.”

Pump earned a lot of love in the comments section of DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page after the footage became popular on TikTok.

“Whole lotta Ws for pump,” ‘One fan wrote,’ and ‘Another added “Dont know why n-ggas hate on Pump. Sure his music not the best but he’s a chill ass dude.”

This isn’t Lil Pump’s only recent triumph. While playing at a festival in Montreal earlier this month, the 21-year-old rapper took a crippled fan in a wheelchair on stage. Woody Belfort, a fan, took full advantage of the situation by breaking out some outrageous dance routines in front of the audience.

Lil Pump is no longer tied to Warner Music, although he released his new single “1st Off” independently on May 4.

Rihanna Donates $15 million To Environmental Justice Organizations From Her Foundation

Rihanna, a Barbados native, is well-known for her songs. However, she’s also utilizing her position to assist address the effects of global warming, which disproportionately affect island populations and people of color.

The Clara Lionel Foundation, founded by Rihanna, is donating $15 million to organizations like the Black Feminist Fund, the Indigenous Environmental Network, and the Caribbean Climate Justice Project.

Senior director Fiona Korwin-Pawlowski works for the foundation. However, she claims that environmental justice organizations led by Black, Indigenous, and people of color have received only a small percentage of funding from major U.S. foundations.

“Our work in the climate justice space … is really in response to this gap,” she stated.

One of the foundation’s goals, she says, is to assist the Caribbean become more adaptable to more harsh weather.

“In areas like the Caribbean that are hit frequently by storms, there’s so much philanthropic support that follows climate-related emergencies like hurricanes,” Korwin-Pawlowski stated. “But we found that there’s a gap as far as long-term and preparedness funding.”

To help change this, the foundation is providing unlimited funding to grassroots organizations that know best what their communities require.

Tory Lanez And Madonna Get Up Close And Personal At the Gervonta Davis Fight

Tory Lanez and Madonna used to have a strange relationship. This is because Tory sampled Madonna’s song “Pluto’s Last Comet” without her consent, according to reports. Tory was publicly called out by her on Instagram, but the story didn’t go any farther.

Now, it appears that the two were able to reach an amicable agreement. We say this since Tory and Madonna were sitting together at Gervonta Davis’ fight last weekend. In reality, the two appeared to be rather close to one another, and they appeared to be having a great time, especially after Davis won the fight by knockout in the sixth round.

Madonna and Tory were spotted backstage before the battle, prompting a quick question about the match’s nature. Tory was adamant that Davis would win in just five rounds, despite his wishy-washy response. Following this response, Madonna acted friendly, nudging Tory with her big fan. It goes without saying that they were each other’s date.

It’s unclear what their relationship is like, but it’s encouraging to see them on good terms after such a big outing that might have gone horribly wrong.

Snoop Dogg Finally Reveals the Release Date for His Mount Westmore Album

Snoop Dogg, Ice Cube, E-40, and Too Short announced their formation of Mount Westmore in late 2020. Fans were clearly overjoyed by the announcement, but their debut album has been a long time coming. They’ve only released a few songs so far, but their full-length album is set to drop in just over a week.

Snoop Dogg confirmed on Instagram this weekend that Mount Westmore’s upcoming album will be released on June 7th. The rapper released a taste of new songs from his upcoming album. “The wait is over. BadMFs,” he also included the release date in the caption.

Mount Westmore launched the campaign in 2021 during Triller’s Fight Club, where they sang “Sub Woofer,” their first song together. Then, in March, they slipped through with “Bad MFs.”

“You bring the legends of the West Coast together, something great will always happen,” Snoop Dogg stated. “Cube, 40, Short, and I have been running the game for years. This is the perfect time because each of us brings authentic and new ideas to the table. All four together? That’s magic.” He explained in an interview with HNHH in 2021.
