As of today (June 16), Gunna released his fourth studio album, a Gift & Curse, which consists of fifteen songs including zero features and with production coming from artists including CuBeatz, 88Krazy, Fresh Ayr, EVRGRN, Ghetto Guitar, Mario Petersen, Omar Grand, Swiff D, LNK, Pooh Beatz, and more. Various producers, such as Turbo, Omar Grand, and Cam Griffin, contributed to the production of the surprise album, which came with a single titled “bread & butter,” which was a response to those who have ostracized him since Gunna was released from prison to great acclaim.
There is no doubt that the new album a Gift & a Curse is a great follow up to 2022’s DS4EVER. It featured 20 songs and collaborations with Future, 21 Savage, Young Thug, Chris Brown, Drake, Chlöe, Lil Baby, G Herbo, Kodak Black, Roddy Ricch, and more. In the first week following the release of the project, it rocketed to the top of the charts with an estimated 150,000 equivalent album units sold. In the years since then, Gunna has liberated various loose singles with the release of “Banking On Me” and contributed to a multitude of songs from other artists, including Pharrell Williams “Functional Addict,” Cordae “Today,” Lil Durk “What Happened To Virgil,” DJ Khaled “FAM GOOD, WE GOOD,” Pooh Shiesty “Certified,” and Metro Boomin “All The Money.”

It was back in February that Fredo announced that the sequel to his 2018 mixtape Tables Turn would be released. As he released “Everybody Knows” last Thursday (June 8), the rapper gave fans a taste of what the record might have in store for them. It is a turn-of-the-century hip-hop track with retro production produced by Roddy Beatz and Young Chencs reminiscent of the turn of the century in hip-hop. It is clear that the West London emcee hasn’t forgotten his street roots on the infectious cut, on which he recounts his gritty street life and hard-earned wealth as he raps about his past on the street.
Fredo gives us a glimpse of his entrepreneurial skills in the video for his song “Everybody Knows,” directed by Suave, as he shares his experiences as the part owner of the sneaker retailer Kick Game, that has expanded its operation into many different cities throughout the United Kingdom since it was established in 2013. Through the course of the video, the independent rapper guides viewers through his product warehouse, takes them along to business meetings with his peers, and shows off the fleet of cars that he keeps on hand for his leisure.
On the 28th of August of 2021, Fredo released his third studio LP under the name Independence Day, the first album he released since leaving RCA Records. During the creation of this project, fourteen tracks were recorded and additional features were provided by Clavish, Potter Payper, Headie One, and Sus. Throughout this period of time, Fredo has continued to keep his momentum going by releasing well-received songs, such as “Dave Flow” and “I’m Back.” In addition, he has also been able to provide his unique style of bars to Clavish “Monday To Sunday” and Dave “In The Fire.”

In recent news, Beyonce and Jay Z have reportedly acquired the most expensive property sold in California, situated in Malibu’s prestigious Billionaires’ Row, for a staggering $200 million.
Meanwhile, various items from their previous rental home in Holmby Hills are now available for purchase online. The couple leased this residence in 2015 but only resided there for a year. Following its sale, the new owners initiated a comprehensive renovation.
Eric from “Eric’s Architectural Salvage LA” acquired several items, including a bidet, sconces, exterior lights, and a large arched metal door frame. The luxurious bidet alone is currently listed for $2,400 on eBay.
Beyonce and Jay Z have yet to comment on this recent development, and it is unlikely they will.
It should be noted that this is only one instance of Beyonce’s previously owned items being sold at auction. For example, a pair of sunglasses she wore during a London show was auctioned off for nearly $20,000 after a fan uploaded them to an auction site.

Daryl Campbell, also known as Taxstone, was sentenced to 35 years in prison by a Manhattan judge for his involvement in a 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza during a T.I. concert.
The shooting resulted in the tragic death of Ronald “Banga” McPhatter and left three others, including rapper Troy Ave, with serious injuries. In March, Campbell was convicted of manslaughter, assault, and criminal possession of a weapon.
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr. stated that the event resulted from a longstanding feud between Campbell and Troy Ave.
“Daryl Campbell targeted his rival with a firearm, causing loss of life and serious injuries to innocent bystanders,” said the D.A. “Gun violence is not an acceptable way to resolve conflict.”
Campbell gained fame in the hip-hop world through his social media presence and his “Tax Season” podcast, which debuted in 2015 and provided listeners with an unfiltered perspective from the streets of Brooklyn.
The podcast rapidly gained popularity for its authentic and candid depiction of life in the city.

A grand jury in Georgia is set to review an investigation involving six ex-deputies in the coming weeks. Probe initiated after several former officers were allegedly involved in a fatal incident with 38-year-old Terry Lee Thurmond in 2022.
On Nov. 27 of that year, authorities arrested Thurmond on suspicion of criminal trespassing at an airport. The following day, while held in the Clayton County jail south of Atlanta, surveillance footage showed Thurmond attempting to throw himself over the edge of a second-floor walkway.
In the video, two other inmates attempted to stop the 38-year-old from falling. At the time, several sheriff’s deputies joined the detainees in holding onto Thurmond. However, per the county medical examiner’s office’s timeline document, Thurmond continued to be “combative.”
The video showed a deputy using what appeared to be a Taser on Thurmond. Officers reportedly struggled with him for minutes before they gained the upper hand.
According to Thomas Reynolds, who represents Thurmond’s family, the 38-year-old was left unconscious for over 15 minutes before being transported to a hospital by first responders. Doctors pronounced Thurmond dead at the hospital.
