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.

It was announced today (April 7) that DJ Holiday will release a new single entitled “No Stress” that will feature Wiz Khalifa and O.T. Genasis. Keeping above the nonsense and enjoying life is the key message behind the infectious drop, as the title makes clear.

This collaboration was announced in a recent press release by DJ Holiday, who described how it came together.

“O.T has always been one of my favorites, and I always told him that whenever he came to Atlanta, we would make sure we got a chance to get one in,” he added. “The beat I sent him was destroyed by his hook, so I thought it would be instant heat… As far as I know, my Pittsburgh big dog, Wiz Khalifa, is missing! ”

YS on The Track, a New Jersey based talent who provided the booming production for the song, was also mentioned by him. “For weeks, I had been listening to that beat on the radio, but I really wasn’t sure how to use it. There is a flute on it, and I found myself mesmerized by it, and I couldn’t decide to who to give it to,” the HOT 107.9 host revealed.

“There’s No Stress” follows the Atlanta-based DJ’s string of notable releases this year, including “Wassup Wid It” featuring 2 Chainz, “Flexin” featuring Future, T.I., Meek Mill, and Stuey Rock, and “2 Seater” featuring Quavo and 21 Savage.

A new song from Kevin Gates dropped on Saturday (March 11) titled “Trying 2 Forgive,” which is an emotional track in which Gates admits to his emotional and mental struggles.

Kevin Gates released his third studio album, Khaza, in 2022, a 19-track collection that included one collaboration with Juicy J featuring on the hit single “Thinking With My D**k.” According to Billboard, the album debuted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart with sales of nearly 40,000 album-equivalent units during its first week following its release.

As well as his sit-down with Khaza, Kevin Gates also provided one of the best sit-downs with Yung Miami that can be associated with his show, “Caresha Please.” In the specific session that lasted more than an hour, Gates gave the Floridian star detailed information about his sexual exploits and preferences, which included a 90-day ban on women who do not meet his Muslim-based standards and are not in conformity with them.

“Some women haven’t been taught properly how to clean themselves properly, so they don’t have the necessary skills,” he said. “They have no idea what a vaginal wall cleaning is, so they do not know how it works. The problem is that they do not know that tampons should not be used during that time. Inaccessible uterine lining gets stuck in their walls and causes odors.”
