The 12-track project also includes contributions from Rick Ross, Lil Wayne, Benny The Butcher, Beanie Sigel, Anderson .Paak, Westside Gunn, T.I., and more. The latest video from the Buffalo rapper is set to arrive today (June 23) for “Chanel Pearl track from his upcoming album God Don’t Make Mistakes featuring legendary rapper Jill Scott.
Featuring stunning cinematic shots of Conway and Scott in an illuminated mansion, the video was directed by Chad Tennies and Davi X. Pena, a striking contrast to the more dimly lit opening. The two collaborate on the song, which is an ode to nurturing relationships:
As well as these visuals, Conway The Machine has also shared visuals including: “Stressed” featuring Wallo 267, “John Woo Flick” with Westside Gunn and Benny The Butcher, and “Scatter Brain” by J.I.D. Conway and Ludacris have also appeared on other artists’ projects this year, such as Benny The Butcher (Tana Talk 4) and Action Bronson (Cocodrillo Turbo).
The singer-songwriter has been active for two years since releasing Bigger Love, which featured 16 original songs and contributions from Gary Clark Jr., Jhené Aiko, Koffee, Rapsody, and Camper. The multi-talented artist has kept busy with collaborations and songs such as D Smoke “Stay True,” Lecrae “Drown,” “We Did It Big” by T.I., “Coming 2 America” featuring Burna Boy, Chance The Rapper “See Me Fly,” Carrie Underwood “Hallelujah,” “Die Under The Moon” with Yung Bleu, and French Montana “Touch The Sky.”
Besides the songs cited above, Legend also contributed songs to the project in the past few months such as “You Deserve It All” in collaboration with Raphael Saadiq, “Tomorrow” featuring Nas and Florian Picasso, and “FREE,” which has given rise to hopes for a possible new album. Adding to the fire when he drops “DOPE” today (May 18), Legend features an assist from JID on the Charlie Puth-produced track. On this chilled track, Legend and JID have their significant others glued to their arms:
As Legend explained in a recent interview with the Guardian, there is currently controversy surrounding Roe v. Wade:
“I can’t sit there and watch this shit happen. There’s a danger that we will not be able to become a full-fledged democracy. Our government is in the process of enacting a law relating to The Handmaid’s Tale. It is doubtful that we will be able to reach a conclusion by “kumbaya”. At this point, we must fight, and I will participate in the fight.”
J Stone announced this week that he would release The Definition Of Sacrifice, the final installment in his trilogy “Definition”. Among the artists who are working on the project are Young Dolph, Swizz Beatz, Jadakiss,, Mozzy, OT Genasis, Styles P, K Camp, and Lumidee. The announcement of the upcoming album was accompanied by release of a brand-new single, “Weekend”. This track features an outstanding feature by the late and legendary Young Dolph and captures the excitement of making it to the end of the week:
The chemistry, the game of independent grind we share, and our shared drive made working with Dolph like working with Nipsey. Almost every single day, he would FaceTime me about shooting the video. “Unfortunately, the unimaginable tragedy took place almost just as hard as Nip’s passing,” Stone said in a press release about the collaboration. Nevertheless, I will stick with the script and the plans that both Dolph and I had for The Weekend because that is what he would have desired. A hymn to remember, a song for a lifetime.”
The Definition of Pain and Ground Zero were two J Stone projects released last year. As for the project, it contains 18 tracks total and features artists such as the late great T.I., Nipsey Hussle, T-Pain, Dom Kennedy, Dave East, Mike D’Angelo, and more. Pacman da Gunman collaborated with Ground Zero. Those two projects were preceded by The Definition of Loyalty from 2019. The Bootleg Kev Podcast’s J Stone confirmed earlier today that a posthumous Nipsey Hussle album will definitely happen someday.
As usual, J. Cole blessed fans with this fantastic surprise. The Rockville star and his Dreamville Camp are hitting the streets today (March 31). Lute, Bas, Ari Lennox, EARTHGANG, J.I.D, Cozz, and Omen collaborate with DJ Drama for D-Day: A Gangsta Grillz Mixtape, which will contain both previously unreleased tracks and previously released tracks such as J.I.D’s “Ambassel,” which helped make the Madden NFL 22 soundtrack stand out.
Besides appearing at Dreamville, D-Day is also taking part in this year’s festival, which will be held in Raleigh, NC this weekend, and in addition to the aforementioned will feature Ja Rule, Lil Baby, Ashanti, Moneybagg Yo, Kehlani, Bia, WizKid, Wale, Morray, Fivio Foreign, Blxst and more. Drama will also appear at the event as part of the Gangsta Grillz with Lil Wayne, Jeezy, and T.I.
The collective of Dreamville came together a few years ago to release their third installment of their Revenge of the Dreamers series, which included a healthy amount of cuts with a host of guest appearances from the likes of Smino, Childish Major, Yung Baby Tate, Reason, DaBaby, Guapdad 4000, Ty Dolla $ign, Vince Staples, and Deante’ Hitchcock. As a result, the project was an outstanding success for all parties involved, landing at the top of the Billboard 200 charts after selling 115,000 album equivalent units in its first week of release. After Revenge of the Dreamers III’s release, a Director’s Cut version with twelve additional songs been released.
In regards to Cole, he released his sixth studio album, The Off-Season, last year. It was another chart-topper from the camp (and Cole’s sixth). A tour of the same name was later organized to promote the album, which included Morray and 21 Savage.
Another two women have recently made sexual assault claims against rapper T.I and his wife Tiny.
Both women filed similar police reports in California and Nevada, where they claim to have been drugged and raped by the famous rapper and his wife.
A spokesperson from the LA police department stated that they are actively investigating the incident, which allegedly occurred in 2005. The victim claims she was given a presumably spiked drink and was soon after assaulted by the couple. This accuser has requested that her identity is not revealed.
The second woman waived her right to anonymity and can be identified as Rachelle Jenks. Jenks came forward with a report suggesting that a similar situation occurred to her in 2010 in Las Vegas, Nevada. The Las Vegas police department would not reveal whether or not an investigation is currently taking place
Attorney Steve Shadow released a statement on behalf of T.I and his wife Tiny saying the Harris’s have not had any form of contact with any law enforcement jurisdiction in the country.
Both of these accusers are being represented by attorney Tyrone A. Blackburn. Blackburn is managing claims for several other women that have similar acquisitions against the Harris’s.
Blackburn released a statement saying he was pleased the LAPD was investigating these allegations. He also responded to the Harris’s request for all accusers to come out publicly, stating that his main concern is the safety and wellbeing of the women involved. He also goes on to say that all the women have been identified to law enforcement, and he believes that’s what matters most.
Blackburn reported he was requesting a criminal investigation and promptly approached law enforcement in Georgie and California on behalf of 11 individuals who claimed they were in some way victimized by the Harris’s. T.I. and Tiny face a number of serious charges ranging from sexual abuse, and kidnapping, as well as terroristic threats, and false imprisonment for incidents that occurred between 2005 and 2018.
In addition to these claims, other acquisitions have also recently come to light against this couple.
