Chanel West Coast has released her debut album America’s Sweetheart. The new release brings in features from Too $hort, Dreezy, and more, while the production is held down by Rich Skillz, K.E. On The Track, Finatik N Zac, and ISM.
“I called this album ‘America’s Sweetheart’ because it’s an oxymoron and contradicts the perception that many have of me,” Chanel said. “I have flaws. I’ve made mistakes. I’ve benefitted from white privilege and I’ve had second chances in life that, unfortunately, many people have not received. That’s why it was important for me to donate to the REFORM Alliance and do my part to address the injustices taking place in our world, particularly our Black and brown communities.”
West Coast has detailed a portation of the streams will be donated to the REFORM Alliance, the criminal justice reform organization co-founded by Meek Mill, Shawn “JAY-Z” Carter, Philadelphia 76ers partner Michael Rubin, New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft, and others.
Chanel West Coast will be introducing fans to the evolution of her sound, which was first heard as a signee to Lil Wayne’s Young Money. She now is showcasing a hybrid of rap, R&B, and pop for the America’s Sweetheart album.

Iconic DJ and producer Statik Selektah is back with the release of his new single “Keep It Moving,” featuring a stellar set of features in Nas, Joey Bada$$, and Gary Clark Jr.
The new single arrives via Mass Appeal and is from his forthcoming album.
“Nas, Joey and I linked up at Sweet Chick during Grammy Weekend and talked about making this record the first one that I present off my album,” Statik said. “Then I played the song for Dave Chappelle in the summer and he stopped the music at his afterparty and introduced it to the crowd, who all went crazy. It was a really dope moment and it was then when I knew this song was gonna be a time stamp on 2020. I’m so happy the world finally gets to hear it.”
The new album will be Selektah’s ninth and is titled The Balancing Act. The album will also bring in Griselda records, 2 Chainz, Dave East, Method Man, and more.
Benny The Butcher has had the eyes of Hip-Hop listeners on him all month in anticipation of his Burden of Proof album. The new album is entirely produced by Hit-Boy and mastered by Guru. The album is executive produced by the trio of Benny, Hit, and Westside Gunn.
“I always wanted to name my first album, The Most Anticipated, because that’s always been my position and it’s my position now. I’ve always been a dope artist from the hood, from the city, but I never really put out ‘the album’” Benny said of the release. “I’ve recorded a lot of great music. Dope projects, mixtapes, features, and people see me on that level to where when I deliver the album it has to be ‘that album’ because expectations are high and I thrive under pressure. Burden Of Proof is that album. We worked hard on this project. I got a lot of input from the team. This is what I wanted to give the people; Burden Of Proof.”
Releasing alongside the album is the video for the album closing single “Legend.”
You can press play on the video and hear the new entire album below.
For the last 30 years, Pete Rock has produced some of Hip-Hop’s most celebrated sounds. Amid a Grammy Award-winning career that includes production, rapping, and DJ’ing, he now expands his repertoire by forming The Soul Brothers.
With his forthcoming PeteStrumentals 3 album, Pete takes one of the most trusted franchises in Hip-Hop in an organic direction. “A lot of this album sounds like samples extracted from records. We dress it up and add definition to what it is. It’s Hip-Hop, but have you ever heard Pete Rock not sample anything or work with a band? It’s exciting. I’m a musician, whether I’m sampling or not,” Pete declares. “Music is music; it’s what I think about it all day, every day.”
In 2001, PeteStrumentalshelped pioneer an instrumental Hip-Hop album trend. After its sequel in 2015, PeteStrumentals 3 takes the series to a new frontier. “I wanted to keep the same feeling that people got with the first PeteStrumentals, even if I’m not sampling,” Pete says. This time, he assembled a band. Tapping two-time Grammy-winning drummer Daru Jones (Jack White, Talib Kweli, Black Milk), the two friends recruited guitarist Marcus Machado, bassists MonoNeon (Prince, Nas, Mac Miller) and Christopher McBride (Sting), keyboardist BigYuki (A Tribe Called Quest), and vocalist Jermaine Holmes (D’Angelo). “I want the best; I’m like James Brown and Kool & The Gang; I want precision,” Pete Rock admits.
Today, with the release of the album’s first single, “Say It Again,” you can hear how Pete’s creations come to life with his band and all-original sound; a band that he insists maintains his trademark knock. “This is something that I’ve always wanted to do” Pete commented to Rolling Stone. “Being an avid digger of albums and 45s, I now have a band to study and reinterpret these records. Presenting this to the world is so fulfilling.”
Arriving on Pete Rock’s Tru Soul imprint, PeteStrumentals 3 marks a new beginning which will surely usher in a new generation of “Pete’s Treats.”
It is less than three weeks to election day and yes, Kanye West is still running for president of the Unites States. The Yeezy CEO hopped on Instagram recently for the first time in two years. It looks like he needed another platform aside from his beloved Twitter to voice his thoughts. Shortly after reactivating his account, he uploaded his first campaign video.
On Tuesday (Oct. 13) false reports were uploaded showing precinct results of the presidential race in Kentucky. The results showed that Ye led both Former VP Biden and Trump in the current race. According to Lex 18 News, someone uploaded a web link from June’s primary election. It was ultimately test numbers to assure that the system was working.
Someone discovered a cached web link that we used during June's primary election to post Associated Press election results. The old link was still populating current AP data and showed test results, which is part of the preparation the AP does in advance of elections. (1/2)
Despite what @kanyewest is tweeting, he is not leading the race for President in KY. The Associated Press always sends out test numbers to make sure systems are working. It's an automated thing that is posting election results on our website. Sorry viewers. Sorry Kanye.
Well Ye took these test results and ran with it. As a result of the enthusiasm, he uploaded some new unreleased music to go along with Joaquin Buckely’s UFC knockout video.
“THE WHOLE TEAM IS SO ENERGIZED THAT I HAD TO RELEASE THEME MUSIC NAH NAH NAH.”
According to his manager Abou “Bu” Thiam, fans should receive new music soon.
There is no disputing that Benny The Butcher has arrived. Over the last three years, Benny’s run has been nothing short of historic. Starting with Tana Talk 3 in 2018, the cult-favorite, The Plugs I Met, signing a management deal with Jay-Z’s Roc-Nation and Griselda’s Shady debut album WWCD in 2019. All of this culminated with Benny fulfilling a decade long dream when he signed his own label imprint deal for his Black Soprano Family (BSF) and released their debut project, Benny The Butcher & DJ Drama Presents: Gangsta Grillz X BSF Da Respected Soprano, earlier this year. Along the way, he performed a celebrated NPR Tiny Desk Concert, recorded with Drake, and if there was a major project, Benny more than likely contributed a standout verse to it.
With anticipation now at a fever pitch, Benny The Butcher puts a bow on his and Griselda’s genre-shifting year by announcing his new project Burden Of Proof; an album that aligns the best rapper alive, with the hottest producer (Hit-Boy) of 2020.
Mastered by Guru, Burden of Proof is The Butcher’s official level up. And with the world seemingly crumbling around us, Benny proves that he thrives under chaotic conditions.
“If you understand the meaning (Burden Of Proof), it’s one trying to prove their assertion; and that’s what I’m doing with this album” Benny asserted. “This is the validation of what I have been saying all this time about Griselda, BSF, Benny The Butcher, coming to fruition. The Burden Of Proof always lies with me.”
In addition to announcing his new album, Benny released the first clip from Burden Of Proof, with “Timeless,” which features Lil Wayne & Big Sean. “Timeless” is now available at all DSP’s.
“It was dope working with Wayne and Big Sean. I have so much respect for their talents. I have respect for everything they are doing,” Benny commented. “Wayne is one of the goats. It’s a good thing to be on a track with those guys trading bars.”
