There was the latest release of Dom Kennedy’s video that had the westside with love three. This contained some contributions from Frank$, Kay Franklin, Bryan Roberts, among others. The track released was focused on women enjoying life and money.
In the video, the guys get emotional over dough. The lyrics focus on this because they focus on smoking, getting the bag, and love. He talks about making six figures, having jewels, women loving him, and having their money. The video is set up on a beach performance that’s set with champagne and flowers.
The video is simple, and straight to the point shows his emotions and thoughts. The clip creates hope for the same style in the future. Dom Kennedy released other tracks years back, and they featured some significant collaborations. He has collaborated with legendary music artists like skeme, OverDoz, Big K.R.I.T., among others.
The musician has also collaborated with Half-A-Mil on a project that saw brilliant success. He collaborates with legends, and his tracks have great content that inspires many people. Dom Kennedy is a legend, and his collaborations keep rap and roll music alive. He is a significant contributor to the music industry, and now he is a famous music artist. His video release is now hot, and it’s trending across many states.
The rapper releases his new album Expensive Pain and reminds people why he’s one of the best rappers alive.
Meek Mill is an artist who knows how to find the sweet spot. Expensive Pain is one of his best albums, with eighteen songs of lyrical brilliance. With this album, Meek tries new sounds and shows fans different sides of himself, which is interesting. Encompassing 12 tracks, Meek Mill has reminded us why he deserves so much more credit.
Meek Mill releases Expensive Pain album
Expensive Pain, the second new release from rapper Meek Mill since his courtroom drama and sentencing of 12 months in prison, has been released to help people forget about the turmoil and remember how he is one of the best rappers alive.
Meek Mill has earned himself as one of the best rappers alive
He poses this distinction by combining his clever wordplay and powerful lyrics with his enthusiasm and feelings on everyday life. On October 1, 2021, the album as a whole hit the shelves. In an interview, Meek Mill revealed the story behind the album’s title. He explains that his goal was for this album to be reflective of his natural life.
The commercial success and braggadocios lyrics of the album both speak to this.
The one thing Meek Mill has done in his career is to consistently release good music. His last three albums have been very successful, and he’s winning new fans daily. In Expensive Pain, Meek Mill employs a more braggadocio commercial style that alienated some old fans who appreciated his underground roots before fame or fortune. Still, the album’s commercial success speaks to what many people find compelling about him.
His entire music career, Meek Mill has built up a reputation for being about his money and status, but he’s elaborating on this subject on this album.
Adele on Friday released the “Easy On Me” visual that highlights a vulnerable side of the superstar.
How Adele is celebrating her return
In less than one day after her new video for “Easy On Me” premiered on YouTube, she broke a global record for views of a YouTube video. Her fans’ reactions on Twitter and elsewhere showed how they love that she’s back and shutting down the haters.
What to expect upon watching the “Easy On Me” video
When she posts a visual to her song “Easy On Me,” you know it’s going to be on point. The name of the song is very appropriate for what you can expect in the video. Easy to follow along with, the beat is steady throughout, and it’s worth your time to give her latest music video a view because she’ll always be one for nostalgia for reminding us that every day is hard, but you should be gentle with yourself. She has always been into reminders that show up during her songs like “Water Under The Bridge.”
Adele shines with her angel voice
In a year or two, a whole new generation may believe she was born to do this. Difficult after so many years of struggle and struggle, she feels blessed to have been able to be the final storm from this storm. There are no storms here. In front of the background, the scenery is her voice, beautiful ascension to the sky. From the minute her voice started playing, it was an instant hit. The smooth harmony of her voice, the sweet lyrics, and the acoustic guitar create a beautiful melody that anyone can enjoy.
Rabzdied is a Long Island, New York based artist who is never afraid of showing his emotions via his music. So that his fans can get to know what it actually feels to struggle with love. Commonly, his lyrics are all over piano melodies, punchy 808s and ear-pleasing guitar, but you can also experience stripped down versions of his music.
He can bring energy and feel to every track. Paranoid is the latest music video by Rabzdied, directed by John Fitzpatrick. This music video is based on the theme “finding way back to home”. However, the Rabzdied showed how we keep distracting by temptations while finding the way.
He started rapping during his high school, while he has been writing since 15. But he didn’t release any
music until he completed his graduation.
However, the next single that will be released before the end of this year is “Don’t leave me”. In this music video Rabzdied wants to show how it feels to deal with your insecurities when you are in a relationship with the one who has other plans.
Rabzdied would love to work with The Kid Laroi and Charlie Puth. Because he feels that Charlie Puth can create some different vibes and he would love to experiment with his music. However, The Kid Laroi never misses to show off his emotions through his music.
Rabzdied is also learning music production, but currently he is working with producers Hennytrack and OVRCZ. He loves to find talented local producers because he wants to create opportunities for people who are finding it difficult to get a way to showcase their talent.
The greatest achievement for Rabzdied was when his music was streamed at Hot 97 radio station.
Even though Rabzdied has recorded multiple music records, but now he wants to broaden his audience. Therefore, he is working on his style transition from heavily alternative to alternatively influenced with modern drums and soulful melodies.
Throughout Rabzdied’s childhood, Mac Miller was his inspiration musically. But after the biggest incident of his life he started listening to the juice wrld to get different vibes. From here, he learnt to show his emotions via music.
When the house of Rabzdied was broken, this was the biggest challenging part of his life. Because every valuable of him was taken away. Even someone who knows closely was turned against him. At that time, he became more dedicated towards his passion for music. Undoubtedly, this incident became a turning point in the life of Rabzdied.
Currently, Rabzdied is working independently. He isn’t against labels, but he believes that it’s better to
work independently until you are going to establish yourself as an individual artist as much as possible.
He always wants people to learn to never be afraid of talking about the real shit. It is common to deal with stress, depression and anxiety, but never let that eat you alive. Because everyone outside is strong enough to deal with them effectively.
Certain people really inspire my soul and enable me to strive harder for the things I want most out of life. On a cool, brisk Thursday night in Miami, I’m standing on the balcony of my Trésor Ocean View Junior Suite with Lil’ Kim’s “Slippin” track blaring through my SMS Audio wireless speakers. As I transcribe her lyrics in my mind, I gently nod and cosign the truth within the context of her pinpoint delivery. Trust is the most dangerous and valuable commodity in the world. Kimberly Jones has never had a problem speaking the truth and dealing with the aftermath. Before the Grammys, platinum plaques, diva/icon status, Kimberly Denise Jones was expelled from home and running the heartless streets of Brooklyn.
Jones was born in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of the New York City borough of Brooklyn, the second child of Linwood Jones and Ruby Jones (now Ruby Jones-Mitchell). She has one older brother named Christopher.
As a child, Jones attended Queen of All Saints Elementary School in Brooklyn. At the age of nine, her parents separated, and Jones was raised by her father, with whom she had a tumultuous relationship.
After being kicked out of her house by her dad, Jones dropped out of high school and alternated between crashing with friends and living on the street.
I changed the track selection to “Quiet” from her Naked Truth album. The beat is pulsating throughout my suite, and I can visualize Lil’ Kim staring into the eyes of her judge without blinking. No fear. Straight Brooklyn! In the early stages of her life, Kim would freestyle with ease and fantasize about having her moment.
I change the track selection again to the song “Durty” and Lil’ Kim starts off saying:
Lil’ Kim stay hot pull up with my nigga in the 80-foot yacht man this hatin’ don’t stop
Real recognize real you studio gangstas kill me
I know my vet’s in the game got to feel me
‘Cause from the gate I brrrr-raaa down the door
Like Eddy Murphy, I gave it to you raw
Two-piece bikini, Fendi mink draggin’ on the floor
Kim been the first lady since I dropped Hard Core
A lot of these hoes livin’ vicariously through me
‘Stead a doin’ them, they’d rather do me
Watchin’ them is like a Broadway play
Sittin’ next to the Queen is the closest they’ll ever get to Brooklyn
Why y’all frontin’ you know who the best be?
I’m the reason why the game so sexy
The originator, the trend creator
Bitch, you dun know you haffa respect me
I’m so lit right now from that intro verse! How can you not treasure the words and unapologetic flow of the real Queen Bee? Purely undeniable.
Jones attended Sarah J. Hale Vocational High School for two and a half years. Many of her friends also went there, and she would often skip school to hang out with them.
Since her schoolwork wasn’t being completed, the decision was made to transfer to Brooklyn College Academy to finish her remaining year and a half of school. It was the same school that fellow rappers Nas and Foxy Brown also attended.
While struggling through her personal life, Jones met The Notorious B.I.G. (real name Christopher Wallace), a key figure in both her personal and artistic life, mainly once Wallace had gained popularity and influence relationship with Bad Boy Records.
In 1994, B.I.G. was instrumental in introducing and promoting the Brooklyn-based group Junior M.A.F.I.A., which included Jones, who was only nineteen. The group’s first and only album, Conspiracy, was released on August 29, 1995, and debuted at number eight on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart, selling 69,000 copies in its first week of release. Three hit singles came from Conspiracy: “Player’s Anthem” (peaked at No. 7 on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart and No. 2 on the Hot Rap Tracks chart), “I Need You Tonight” (No. 43 R&B, No. 12 Rap), and “Get Money” (No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100, No. 4 R&B, No. 2 Rap). The R.I.A.A. certified Conspiracy gold on December 6, 1995. “Player’s Anthem” and “Get Money” were certified gold and platinum easily.
In the middle of the wolf pack, Lil’ Kim was still the lone wolf, and the world was now taking notice of her gift. After a year with Junior M.A.F.I.A., Jones began a solo career by making guest performances on R&B albums and recording her debut album, Hard Core, released in November 1996. The album debuted at No. 11 on the Billboard 200, the highest debut for a female rap album at that time, and No. 3 on Billboard’s Top R&B Albums, selling 78,000 copies in its first week of release.
Hard Core was certified double platinum by the R.I.A.A. on March 14, 2001, after being certified gold on January 6, 1997, and platinum on June 3, 1997. The album’s lead single, “No Time,” a duet with Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs, reached the top spot on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks chart and was certified gold by the R.I.A.A.
The next single, “Crush on You,” reached No. 6 on the Hot 100 and No. 2 on the rap chart. A remix of the album’s track “Not Tonight” saw Jones team up with Missy Elliott, Angie Martinez, Da Brat, and Left Eye of T.L.C. The song was part of the soundtrack to the Martin Lawrence movie Nothing to Lose, nominated for a Grammy Award, and certified platinum. Lil’ Kim is the definition of self-made. On June 27, 2000, she released her second album The Notorious K.I.M. The album marked a new image and revamped look for the rapper.
It debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 and No. 1 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, selling 229,000 copies in its first week. It was certified platinum by the R.I.A.A. four weeks after its release. Kimberly Jones survived the sophomore jinx, and her success continued to exceed all public expectations. In 2001, she teamed up with Christina Aguilera, Pink, and Mýa to remake “Lady Marmalade,” which was initially written about a bordello in New Orleans and performed by the group Labelle (which included diva Patti LaBelle) twenty-five years earlier.
The song was recorded for the Moulin Rouge! film soundtrack, released in April 2001, and stayed No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks. The song also went to No. 1 in fifty countries around the world.
This was a significant accomplishment for female rap and Jones, who scored her first No. 1 Hot 100 hit and became the second solo female rapper in history to hit No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 charts. “Lady Marmalade” also garnered Jones her first Grammy Award.
Caliente, blazing, and scorching are just a few adjectives that detail the level of demand and attention Lil’ Kim garnered during the early 2000s. She created an entirely new path for today’s MCs, both female and male, to follow: the freedom of expression in sex and music. Lil’ Kim never allowed anyone or anything to control her visual presentation or audio message to the world. She forced the hand of millions during the Grammys to accept her now-infamous purple pasty, diva/icon Diana Ross issued a physical cosign at that moment on stage.
Givenchy, Versace, Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs, and more have acknowledged the feisty, fearless, and sexy Brooklynite as the Queen of Hip Hop Fashion Culture.
The sheer influence of her persona is as infectious as the melody in the Dr. Dre track “Nuthin But a G Thang.” Lil’ Kim forced mainstream America to realize that black women can be portrayed as sexy, be sexual role models, run an empire, and not be labeled as shameless or a “hoe.”
I change the track selection for the last time to “Last Day.” An emotional, prophetic, and lyrical masterpiece. Legendary epic rhymes read like this:
Besides God, what the fuck should I fear?
The only one could stop me is that chick in the mirror
I built my career on blood, sweat and tears
And I’m still here, gettin’ stronger each year
‘Cause what don’t kill me could only help build me
I guess all that dirt just made me more filthy
If being loyal’s a crime, then I’m so guilty
If you was missin’ a spine you’d still have to feel me
Some came and went but your girl is everlasting
‘Til the day I’m gasping
And niggaz droppin’ tears on my Versace casket
And I’m reunited with Big like, “Nigga, what happened?”
Shit, got drastic, I missed you with a passion
By now they should realize, I’m not the average rap chick
Ain’t nuttin’ they could do now to stop my shine
This is God’s plan, homey, it ain’t mine
When it’s my last day, then it’s my last day
But until that day you can’t take away
How they scream my name, how I pimp this game
Critically acclaimed until my last day
Kimberly Denise Jones is pop and hip-hop royalty in every aspect. The “GHOST” of Notorious B.I.G. she is and will always be. Even during her twelve-month incarceration, her rainbow of influence beamed through the walls of the Federal Detention Center in Philadelphia, and even the Brooklyn Bridge smiled at one point. Her infamous G status is certified in every borough in N.Y.C. and the streets are always on standby if anyone wants to rumble with the Bee!
I named this article “The Endless Royal Reign of Lil’ Kim” because on June 9, 2014, at 9:58 a.m., she gave birth to Royal Reign, and the dynasty continues. With her legacy and star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame impending, the birth of Royal Reign ensures the next generation will forever know and understand the Naked Truth of Kimberly Denise Jones.
