A new collection of visuals by Juicy J is available, which are taken from his latest project, Mental Trillness. This past Friday (May 19), he released a clip for his song “Gettin‘.” The song was produced by Hitkidd and lets the hearer know what the Memphis musician has been up to.
This video was produced by Dang Films and Juicy J can be seen in a creepy looking mansion in the video. Throughout, he wears a mask, receives a drink from an attractive woman, and performs outside next to an old-fashioned convertible.
An 18-track album entitled Mental Trillness was released last March and features notable contributions from Aleza, K Carbon, La Chat, the late Gangsta Boo, Finesse2Tymes, and more. According to previous reports, Juicy J focused most of the album’s content on mental health, a cause he has acknowledged dealing with throughout his long and distinguished career.
This latest track from the Three 6 Mafia talent follows up a string of well-received 2022 projects, including Space Age Pimpin with Pi’erre Bourne, Crypto Business with Lex Luger & Trap-A-Holics, and Stoner Night with Wiz Khalifa. Among other things, he has also contributed to music such as Sauce Walka and Conway the Machine “Super Bowl,” Snoop Dogg and DJ Drama “Been Smokin,” and Megan Thee Stallion “Southside Royalty Freestyle.”

Earlier this week (March 24), Ray Vaughn released a new single titled “Plot Twist” featuring London Monét. This emotionally charged track from Vinylz features bars about battling mental health and achieving your dreams regardless of all odds in the emotional offering.
The news that Ray Vaughn would be joining Top Dawg Entertainment’s roster was unveiled back in 2021, and it surprised many when the rapper announced that he would be joining the company. It was Peer Pressure that marked the beginning of the exciting journey, along with a brief description of the EP, which consists of three songs.
“The truth is, I would love to tell you how I came up with this project, but to be honest with you, returning to that place of brutal honesty where these songs first came from has been a chaotic process for me. Don’t be too serious with me, honestly, just learn to have fun.”
Over the course of the past few years, Ray Vaughn has released several well-received singles, including “59th & Bethany,” “Potential,” “Picking Cherries,” “Mannequin,” “Kim Possible,” “Tradeline,” and “Dawg House” alongside labelmate Isaiah Rashad. Earlier this year, he teamed up with Ab-Soul for the Wallis Lane-backed song “Sandcastles,” further enhancing the expectation of a full-length release in the near future.

In recent news, a shocking story has emerged from Santa Monica, California. A homeless man Job Uriah Taylor has been arrested for committing multiple violent hate crimes that have left the community shaken and outraged. This disturbing incident serves as a reminder of the ongoing issue of homelessness and mental illness in our society, and highlights the urgent need to address these issues before they result in tragic consequences.
The suspect, who has not been publicly identified as Job Uriah Taylor, is accused of attacking four victims with a knife and making racist and homophobic slurs during the attacks.
The first victim was attacked around 2:15 a.m. as he was walking near the intersection of 4th Street and Wilshire Boulevard. The victim, who is African-American, was slashed across the face with a knife and suffered minor injuries. The second victim, also African-American, was attacked about 15 minutes later near the same intersection. He too was slashed with a knife and suffered minor injuries.
The third victim, a Hispanic man, was attacked around 2:45 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street and Arizona Avenue. He sustained serious injuries after being stabbed multiple times. The fourth victim, a white man, was attacked around 3:00 a.m. near the intersection of 5th Street and Santa Monica Boulevard. He too sustained serious injuries after being stabbed multiple times.
All four victims were taken to local hospitals for treatment and are expected to recover from their injuries. The suspect was arrested soon after the fourth attack and is currently being held on $1 million bail. He faces charges of attempted murder, assault with a deadly weapon, and hate crimes enhancements.”
Job Uriah Taylor has a long history of violence and mental illness. He has been diagnosed with schizophrenic disorder and has been involuntarily committed to mental health facilities on several occasions. In 2006, he was convicted of making criminal threats and served time in prison.
Since his release from prison, Job Uriah Taylor has been living on the streets of Santa Monica. He has had several run-ins with the law, including an arrest for public intoxication and disorderly conduct. He also has a history of making homophobic slurs towards people he doesn’t know.
Santa Monica authorities responded to the arrest of a homeless man for multiple violent hate crimes by stating that they are taking the situation very seriously. They have increased patrols in the area and are working with local organizations to provide resources and support to the homeless community. They also encourage anyone who may have information about the suspect or any other potential threats to come forward so that they can be fully investigated.
Many residents are still in shock that such hatred could happen in their normally peaceful city. “I can’t believe this is happening here,” one woman told reporters. “It’s just so scary.”
Others say they aren’t surprised, given the recent rise in racism and bigotry across the country. “I guess it was only a matter of time before something like this happened here,” said one man. “It’s just so sad.”

Abortion is a topic that has always been controversial, and now it’s sparked a heated debate in South Carolina. In a new bill proposed by lawmakers, abortions could carry the punishment of death. Yes, you read that right – the death penalty for terminating a pregnancy. This proposal has many people stunned and outraged as they question the legality and morality behind such extreme measures.
“Imagine the unimaginable- a state where women could face the death penalty for making choices about their own bodies. That’s exactly what South Carolina lawmakers are proposing with a new bill that aims to criminalize abortions in all cases, even rape and incest. As the nation watches this controversial legislation unfold, it raises questions about reproductive rights, government control over personal decisions, and the value of human life. In this blog post, we’ll explore the latest developments on this heated topic and discuss why such extreme measures warrant attention from every American.
The bill is similar to one that was proposed in Texas last year, but did not make it through the legislature. If passed, South Carolina would become the first state in the nation to enact such a law.
Abortion rights advocates have already denounced the bill, calling it unconstitutional and dangerous. They argue that it would criminalize women and doctors, and put women’s lives at risk. They also point out that there are already laws on the books that make it a crime to harm or kill a pregnant woman.
Critics of the bill say that it is nothing more than a political stunt designed to score points with conservative voters. They argue that it is highly unlikely to pass constitutional muster, and even if it did, would almost certainly be overturned by the courts.
“This bill is about protecting the lives of the innocent, and we believe that every life is valuable,” said Rep. Steven Long, one of the bill’s sponsors. “We think it’s important that we stand up for those who can’t speak for themselves.”
Currently, under South Carolina law, abortion is only legal in cases of rape, incest, or when the life of the mother is at risk. This bill would criminalize all abortions, regardless of the circumstances. Women who undergo abortions would be subject to felony charges and up to 10 years in prison. Doctors who perform abortions would be charged with murder and could face the death penalty.
This bill is clearly an attack on women’s rights and access to safe and legal abortion. If it becomes law, it will force women to seek out illegal and dangerous abortions, or forego the procedure altogether. This will put women’s health and lives at risk. It is imperative that this bill does not become law.
This proposed bill is a stark reminder that abortion access in the United States is under constant threat. South Carolina lawmakers are using their power to try to restrict abortion access for those who need it, and this new bill would be an extreme violation of reproductive rights if passed. We must remain vigilant and fight to protect our reproductive freedom, no matter what restrictions are proposed in state legislatures across the country.

In a brand-new single available today (Feb. 10), Zacari introduces the masses to “Motions,” featuring top Dawg Entertainment partner Ab-Soul. As evidenced by their soulful offering, the musicians admit their mental health ups and downs, while reassuring listeners that they are successfully addressing the issues they face:
Approximately four years have passed since Zacari released his deCbut EP, Run Wild Run Free, which features a single contribution from Lil Yachty. Over the past year, the Bakersfield-raised star released the quick-strike Sol as well as notable loose cuts such as “This Woman’s Work,” “Edamame,” “Rainy Day” “Good Nights,” featuring Buddy and Isaiah Rashad, “Golden Dolphin,” “Bliss,” and shortly before the year 2023 began, “Restless.” Moreover, he has contributed to tracks by BEAM, SiR, Kembe X, Vic Mensa, DJ Scheme, and M.I.A.
Moreover, Ab-Soul released his long-awaited fifth studio album, Herbert, in December of 2022. SiR, Big Russ, Sean, Joey BADA$$, Lance Skiiiwalker, Jhené Aiko, and others appeared on the 18-song collection. It has been reported that the Carson star Zacari attempted suicide just prior to the completion of Herbert, according to Charlamagne Tha God:
“A large portion of the album was recorded, and the album was almost completed before I did what I did,” he commented. “I jumped as soon as I had finished saying what I needed to say. The decision was a leap of faith, if you will.”
