New Orleans rapper P Town Moe said that Weebie—whose real name is Jerome Cosey—died from complications after suffering a heart attack.  “First his kidneys went and they had him on a machine to get his kidneys back working, then […]

Twenty-twenty is going to be a real one. (And a real scary one geopolitics-wise, but that’s a whole other story.) In addition to (semi-confirmed) new releases from what you might call the Big Three of massively popular Canadian music—Drake, The Weeknd, the Bieber—we’ll also be hearing from a huge range of favourite artists both long-established […]

Mac Miller‘s family has shared the video for “Good News,” the first single off the rapper’s forthcoming posthumous album, Circles. Directed by Eric Tilford and Anthony Gaddis, the six-and-a-half-minute visual begins with footage taken during a studio session. Miller looks into the camera and invites the viewers to follow him into a dark connecting room: “Come on guys, […]

Drake and Future have been teasing a new collaboration entitled “Life Is Good,” and to celebrate, they even got matching chains. Featuring an eagle right next to an owl, which obviously symbolizes OVO Sound, Drake got a gold variant while Future got a silver one. A representative for Jason of Beverly Hills revealed to Complex […]

Uncle Murda recently dropped his song “Rap Up 2019,” which saw him take shots at everyone from 6ix9ine to Kanye West. The 10-minute track opened with him throwing shade at K. Michelle, referencing an eyebrow-raising tweet in which she showed support for the controversial 6ix9ine. Michelle was less than enthused with what Murda had to say on […]

Eminem would have been better off simply ignoring Nick Cannon outright, 50 Cent suggested in a brief interview at ABC’s Television Critics Association press tour day earlier this week. “I told him don’t even say nothing to him,” 50 told The Wrap on Wednesday. “The record is terrible.” Of course, there is indeed more than […]

Moneybagg Yo is beginning 2020 with new music and a new relationship. While promoting his fast-approaching album Time Served, the Memphis rapper stopped by Hot 97 to briefly discuss his love life. Host TT Torrez questioned Moneybagg about the dating rumors swirling around him and Ari Fletcher—the mother of G Herbo‘s child. The two were spotted together on […]

Frank Ocean is a fan of Prada. And Prada is a fan of Frank Ocean. The singer-songwriter has shown a lot of support for the Italian fashion house over the past year, not only attending its Spring 2020 menswear show in Shanghai, but also rocking its pieces to the 2019 Met Gala and on the pages of W […]

Meek Mill recently took to Instagram to show off the latest addition to his chain collection. Unfortunately for the rapper, the insane design was overshadowed by an unusually dry, unkempt hand. As you can see in the video below, the gold and diamond-encrusted emblem was inspired by 18th Street; Meek clarifies that the design had nothing to […]

After a strong 2019 with a number of standout releases, Buffalo rap crew Griselda have shared the video for “Dr. Bird’s.” Taken from their W.W.C.D project, the hard-hitting track has been given a stylish visual directed by Hype Williams. Featuring Westside Gunn, Conway the Machine, and Benny the Butcher in front of a stark backdrop, the video brings the lyrics […]
