Jane & Finch's Pressa is gearing up for a tempestuous Caribana in 2019 by mixing it up with the criminally underrated Dexta Daps. A quite scan of HNHH's userbase tells me Dexta is somewhat of an unknown commodity in these parts, but don't deceive into thinking he doesn't hold his weight outside of West Kingston, Jamaica.
The split bill collaboration was submitted in the form of a music video set in a tropical location, the likes of which Torontonians try in earnest to recreate each year during the internationally renowned Caribana Festival. This year's festivities are set to begin in a little over 45 days, as per the event's running countdown on their official webpage.
It just so happens that in 2019, Caribana will bleed into the returning OVO Festival taking place on Monday, August the 7th. The Toronto public has been without the event since Drake performed a commemorated set in the year 2017. If you're so inclined to join up with the Carribean diasp..

The classic MTV animated series Daria, was a spinoff based on one of the background characters from Beavis And Butt-Head, Daria. Now, the successful show (which lasted 5 seasons on air), is returning to television, but this time around, it's going to focus on a character aside from Ms. Morgendorffer.

Just yesterday, we reported that Rob Kardashian had filed papers to keep his daughter with Blac Chyna, Dream, off her upcoming reality series “The Real Blac Chyna”. TMZ reported that Rob’s lawyer, legal pit bull Marty Singer, fired off a threatening letter to Chyna, telling her that their daughter, 2-year-old Dream, CANNOT under any circumstances, appear on her show, without Rob’s consent- which he will not give. The letter also served as a reminder that Rob and Chyna share 50/50 joint custody, and that there’s no way Dream’s mother can turn a TV camera on their daughter without Rob being on board. According to the letter, Chyna sent Rob an appearance release for Dream to appear on the series, and he’s not planning on signing it.
After news broke, Chyna furiously took to Instagram to share a screenshot of a statement she had written in her notes, pointing out the hypocrisy of his objections, considering he’d allowed their daughter and her birthday party to be part of a scene “without ..

MIKE's peculiar sampling has made him something of an oddity in the landscape of contemporary rap. New Jacks will liken his layered/muffled production style to likes of Earl Sweatshirt or Chester Watson. “it's like basketball” is good to place to begin the second incursion into MIKE's oddball universe of emotional viscera.
In December, the vagabond emcee crafted War in my Pen, an experiential account of his backtracking, to and fro New York, London, and Nigeria in his lifetime. Produced by Sporting Life & ​dj blackpower, “it's like basketball,” has been singled out as the teasing single for his follow-up project tears of joy, due on the eve of 21st of June. Most youths wanted to follow in Michael Jordan's footsteps, but MIKE was seemingly cut from a different cloth. A younger MIKE simply wanted the rock in his possession when on the offensive. Keep it locked for the 21st if “its like basketball” does anything for your mental.

The Colombian-American songstress only just recently appeared as a feature on Mac Miller’s first posthumous track “Time” with the Free Nationals, and now, news sees that she allegedly owes her former manager 20% of the roughly $1.5 million earned during their time together, The Blast reports.
According to court documents obtained by the site, Bogle says that she helped Uchis earn $1,500,000 in gross revenue during her employment, but that Uchis “fabricated excuses to delay or not pay” her, going to great lengths to “misrepresent her receipt of gross income” in an effort to pay Bogle less than she is allegedly owed. Bogle claims she and Uchis entered into a deal on November 1, 2016 for Bogle to be her exclusive manager, saying the deal called for her to receive twenty percent of Uchis’ gross earnings for her managerial services. Bogle says that she would repeatedly ask for her commissions, and ..
