Roc Nation’s Bobby Fishscale Drops ‘The Last Re-Up’ EP

Sat, 08 Aug 2020 00:59:20 GMT

Bobby Fishscale is a natural born hustler. His latest release, The Last Re-Up signifies the mentality that defines him as the man he is today.

The trapper turned rapper narrative has bred some of Hip-Hop’s greatest success stories. From the bando to the Billboard charts, Southern rap introduced trap music and helped to elevate Hip-Hop to its peak. Roc Nation signee, Bobby Fishscale, looks to utilize that blueprint as well.

“Write a book about me, crack gon’ be the first page,” he raps on the album titled intro track.

His documentary, A Day In The Bricks: gives the audience an in-depth look into the inspiration behind the Quincy native’s trap sound. The 10 minute visual allow viewers to understand the story behind the music. In 2019, Fishscale had to make a decision whether to continue to trap or start a new life of rap. The “Wrist Froze” rapper battled with the decision. He ultimately chose the opportunity to be represented by one of the most renowned labels in music.

Less than one year after signing with Roc Nation, he is proving why they made the right decision with his latest project, The Last Re-Up. The 8-track project features 1017 veteran Peeway Longway (“Wrist Froze), Dreamchaser’s Tafia (“Florida We Good”), and many more. The fearless and authentic quality of the project is assurance that Bobby Fishscale is well aware of where his direction because he knows where he comes from.

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian Jet to the Dominican Republic To Work on Their Marriage

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 19:36:47 GMT

A little baecation can fix anything, right? That’s the hope for Kim Kardashian and Kanye West who have fled the United States for a bit of romance in the Dominican Republic.

After what seemed to be a public blow-up outside a Wendy‘s, KimYe is now shifting and the “focus is on their marriage,” PEOPLE exclusively reports.

“They decided to travel together so they can be away in private,” the source also details.

The report also sites the weight of parenting, work, and Kanye’s bipolar episodes as factors that have clouded Kim’s thinking and her desire is to save the marriage.

“Kanye has made it clear that he will continue to run for president. Kim is not happy about it, but this isn’t her focus,” the source says. “She just wants to do what’s best for the kids. And she thinks finding a way to save her marriage is what’s best for them.”

Don’t expect to hear any new developments in Kanye’s run for president this weekend.

Washington Football Team Owner Daniel Snyder Issues lawsuit to Identify Culprit Behind Smear ...

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 19:13:57 GMT

Washington football team owner Daniel Snyder has filed a lawsuit on Friday morning, in efforts to identify the culprit behind hiring companies for fake propaganda in an attempt to tarnish his reputation.

Legal documents state Snyder believes to be the victim of a shakedown and is attempting to find out who is orchestrating the bribery campaign against him. Snyder and his legal counsel are working to subpoena and get more information from New Content Media, who operates MEAWW.com, in order to track down who is paying for the false articles and social media posts that are apart of the smear campaign.

The site has recently published reported false articles that look to associate Snyder with the late Jeffrey Epstein and his sex trafficking scandal, along with anonymously posted Reddit posts with the same claims.

In MEAWW’s report, Snyder was targeted with the headline “Will Dan Snyder rename the Washington Redskins the ‘Epsteins?’” before giving false allegations of drug use.

The legal documents are available here.

New Murs and Atmosphere Album ‘Felt 4 U’ Out Today

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 18:42:14 GMT

Murs and Slug of Atmosphere have today released their surprise fourth album as the collaborative duo ‘Felt’ on the ever-consistent Rhymesayers Entertainment after an 11-year hiatus between albums, produced by the prolific Ant also of the Atmosphere duo. The new 12-track album is aptly titled ‘Felt 4 U’ as their fourth album together, featuring guest appearances from longtime collaborators Aesop Rock, The Grouch, Blimes, and Shepard Albertson clocking in at 40-minutes in total playtime. The album drop comes three days after their comeback 4-minute single ‘Name In Ya Mouth’ also produced by Ant of Atmosphere appeared seemingly out of nowhere, underlined with a classic yet subtle G-funk instrumental feel to it.

Felt as a duo released three classics, relatively commercially successful and critically acclaimed albums and a further two EPs from 2002 to 2009 on Rhymesayers, which featured the likes of DJ/producer Mr. Dibbs, The Grouch, Ant, Aesop Rock, and DJ Big Wiz. With these releases collectively selling 100,000s of copies and charting widely to date, the duo established themselves as a group in their own right beyond the shadows of their solo careers and the cult following that Atmosphere has developed. Definitely a welcomed surprise for Rhymesayers, Murs, and Atmosphere fans with accompanying hard copies, vinyl, and merch now available also for pre-order.

Swizz Beatz Throws the Idea of Drake and Kanye West in a VERZUZ Battle

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 18:29:09 GMT

Could we get Kanye West and Drake in the VERZUZ arena? That’s what Swizz Beatz is alluding to. Near the conclusion of Rick Ross and 2 Chainz, Swizz threw a subliminal to his partner Timbaland.

“Ayo Tim Drake VS YE #versuz,” the super producer wrote on Twitter.

It is something that fans immediately were interested but with the timid situation between the two, it may be a long shot. Drake and close friend of Kanye, Pusha T, are still taking aim at each other. Then Kanye has bigger fish to fry, like assisting President Trump to get reelected.

Do you think this battle is possible? If you want to see it, who wins?

"I Like To Move It” DJ Charged With Sexual Assault and Battery

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 17:38:42 GMT

Erick Morillo, the international DJ from “I Like To Move It” was arrested and charged with sexual assault and battery from a December 2019 incident in Miami Beach with a then unknown partygoer.

Morillo’s accuser, whom he met that night, said that when she went home with the famed DJ and another woman following the event where they’d met, said that the one hit wonder made “several advances towards her, some sexual in nature, but she refused all of his attempts.”

The unidentified woman admittedly told police that she was drunk, but went to sleep by herself in a room in Morillo’s home. She told police in the complaint she remembers “waking up nude on the bed, with Mr. Morillo standing on the side of the bed also nude.”

He denied the allegation, but the rape kit taken by the accuser found the DJ’s DNA.

TheSource.com will update this story as it develops.

Compton Mayor Aja Brown Wants Federal Investigation Into LA County Sheriff Dept. Harassment

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 14:55:37 GMT

In a press conference at Compton City Hall, Mayor Aja Brown, along with local civil rights activists, allege that the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department is a danger to the community and are demanding a federal investigation.

Mayor Brown recounted an incident from last June when she was pulled over during a routine traffic stop.

“I rolled my window down and asked why I was being pulled over,” Brown said. “Within seconds almost seven to nine sheriff deputy vehicles descended upon the scene. They ordered me out of my vehicle and they asked me to put my hands on top of the police vehicle so they could search me as if I were a criminal,” Brown said. “Mind you, I was accompanied by my husband and my infant daughter in the back seat. I did not look like someone that is trafficking drugs.”

Mayor Brown said that she filed a complaint against the LASD, but has yet to receive a response.

“They terrorize the community and then they cover their tracks,” Brown said. “It is unacceptable, we will not take this.”

brown called for an immediate federal investigation into a band of rogue deputies who celebrate police shootings with tattoo parties and all have matching tattoos that say the “Executioners.”

Brown and the activists are requesting U.S. Attorney General William Barr and California Attorney General Xavier Becerra to launch a civil rights investigation into the group and she plans to end the $22 million contract with the LASD.

Oprah Gets Dozens of Billboards in Louisville Demanding Justice for Breonna Taylor

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 14:47:28 GMT

Breonna Taylor historically graced the cover of O, The Oprah Magazine, and now the media mogul is taking things up a notch.

Oprah Winfrey got dozens of billboards around Louisville, Kentucky demanding justice for the 26-year-old emergency technician who was gunned down by police in her sleep.

The signs are calling for the officers involved in this homicide to be arrested and charged. The official website for Until Freedom is also featured, who have been leading protests in honor of Taylor.

Until Freedom was one of the organizations behind the peaceful protest outside of Attorney General, Daniel Cameron’s home. Cameron, who is a Black Republican-endorsed AG, is leading the case, although that’s clearly unethical, and hasn’t taken a single step down the right path.

“From the beginning, our office has set out to do its job, to fully investigate the events surrounding the death of Ms. Breonna Taylor,” Cameron had said then in a statement. “We continue with a thorough and fair investigation, and today’s events will not alter our pursuit of the truth. The stated goal of today’s protest at my home was to ‘escalate.’ That is not acceptable and only serves to further division and tension within our community. Justice is not achieved by trespassing on private property, and it’s not achieved through escalation. It’s achieved by examining the facts in an impartial and unbiased manner. That is exactly what we are doing and will continue to do in this investigation.”

Many celebrities, including Beyonce, has urged Cameron to give Breonna Taylor’s family justice, but it’s been over 100 days, we’re in quarantine, and he recently celebrated an engagement. This is going to be a long fight.

Megan Thee Stallion Tells Fans She ‘Felt Betrayed By All My Friends’ On Instagram Live

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 14:43:58 GMT

Its good to see Megan Thee Stallion still dominating in the female rap industry following her recent altercation that surfaced the internet and still has fans talking.

Last month, Meg was involved in an altercation that ended in her being shot in both of her feet. Since then, the rapper has been letting out her frustrations with other celebrities in the industry who seem to find something funny.

The Texas Hot Girl jumped on her Instagram live following the premiere of her collaboration with Cardi B titled, “WAP,” and briefly touched on how she felt betrayed by her friends in that scenario. “I feel like this is a thing that I see every single day and I see so many women and I see so many men talking sh*t about this,” she stated.

When a fan asked the “Captain Hook” rapper how did she feel after being shot, she responded, “I felt like, really crazy. I felt like, why did I get shot? What did I do? It was insane. The sh*t was crazy. And I feel like some people think that it’s funny and I feel like some people think that it’s a joke and I feel like some people think that they’re saying it to get to me, but I’m not ashamed of who I am or what I’ve been through.”

“I just feel very betrayed by a friend. I felt very betrayed by all my friends. I felt very shocked, very scared,” she continued.

“The one thing that y’all need to know about me is I’m not a person who is able to be down for a long time. I’m not a person who is- I don’t like to be victimized. I like to be upbeat,” she mentioned.

Before ending the live, Megan the Stallion made sure to leave her fans off on a positive note. “My grandma always told me don’t let nobody steal your joy, so that’s the type of person I am. I’m never gon’ let nobody steal my joy.”

Tory Lanez continues to remain silent on the situation.

The new single details the spread of the bag through the community with quotes like “My barber get a hunda every time I get a new fade.”

Dolph has caught the attention of many with the album title and he offers the meaning.

“It’s the reality of being Black in this country. You can have money, and you can be a benefactor and a leader in your community, but all people see is Black skin,” Dolph said. “All the bullsh*t I heard about as a kid, we still face in today’s time. Over the years, they have given us a little bit of freedom but it’s only a temporary pacifier. Hopefully this album makes people understand that even though guys like me are doing well, we’re still affected by racism and inequality. It’s 2020, but the same stuff is still going on.”

Kanye West Alludes That He’s Intentionally Trying to Hurt Joe Biden’s Presidential Campaign

Fri, 07 Aug 2020 10:25:00 GMT

Kanye West’s Presidential campaign is all over the place, but he’s taking certain steps to make sure he’s legit. But according to VICE, he has help from the Republican party.

The outlet reports that the political party helped the rapper submit the required signatures to appear on the Wisconsin ballot.

In a recent interview with Forbes, Ye avoided questions about whether he’s being used as a distraction in the 2020 Presidential campaign. He simply responded that he’s “walking…to win.”

The interview noted that Ye is too late in the race to appear on enough ballots to win 270 electoral votes, or the presidency. He responded, “I’m not going to argue with you. Jesus is King.”

Kanye was asked if he’s trying to sabotage Joe Biden’s campaign to which he replied, “I’m not denying it; I just told you.”

Kanye West claimed he washed his hands of Trump during his last Forbes interview, but praised him in this one. “Trump is the closest president we’ve had in years to allowing God to still be part of the conversation.”

President Trump shared his thoughts on West on Wednesday at the White House. “I like Kanye very much. I have nothing to do with him being on the ballot. I’m not involved.”
