Bad Boy Records CEO Diddy has nothing but love and then some for his family. The hip-hop mogul has shouted out former flame Misa Hylton on her birthday.
Big Facts: On Monday, Puff Daddy hit up Instagram with a huge salute to his baby mother.
High-Key Details: The popular veteran model has also acknowledged her special born day with a slew of new pics.
Wait, There’s More: Recently, both Diddy and Misa gave their son a huge birthday shout-out.
Before You Go: Diddy and Misa’s relationship dates back to her high school days.
Misa Hylton was only 17-years-old and still in high school when, with the help of her then-boyfriend, A&R intern Sean Combs (he had yet to go by the monkier P. Diddy, Puff Daddy or Diddy) she began styling emerging Hip-Hop acts. Fast forward almost two decades later, and the Mount Vernon, NY native, who had a son with Diddy, has become wholly responsible for dressing some of the most influential Hip-Hop artists of the 90s, creating lasting, iconic music moments like Lil Kim’s legendary 1999 MTV VMAs performance and Mary J Blige’s “Not Gon Cry” music video.

Niko Brim was born to be an emcee.
Scratch that… he was born to be a star. His mother is fashion icon Misa Hylton… His father is multi-platinum making music exec Jojo Brim. His parents have been entrenched in the culture, in music making. From his mom’s days at Uptown Records and the early Bad Boy days. His dad helped take Def Jam to the next level in the late 90s and 2000s. Hit music should be bubbling in his blood.
And with the release of his new single, “Feds Watching” featuring Kamari, he proves this theory to be true: He definitely got hit-making in his blood.
Sax Money produced the track and it teeters on the verge of summer vibing and a party anthem, but all against the flow of concentrated lyricism. Yup… Brim rides the beat, blending melodiously in with the syncopated and the chimed undertone track.
Like we said, hit-making is in his blood.
Brim conveys a story we know… We all know the baddie that has all the guys watching. Brim takes it even further, “It’s about the girl being so bad, it’s dangerous.”
But it is not just about that. It is also about according to Brim people “plotting on you” and standing by you- even when what life is not what it appears on the outside.

Brim states, “[It is] about sticking with somebody even when things aren’t going the best.”
Hook is also extremely cleaver, we are sure for someone this will be an anthem… “ten toes in!” This young gent delivers something special, and makes his legacy smile at his efforts to join their ranks as the most elite family in Hip-Hop.

Our 6th annual SOURCE360 Festival is just one week away, and we’re getting prepared to deliver four days of fun, festivities and a chance to honor the world of Hip-Hop that we’ve been covering for the past 30 years.
On Friday, August 16, we will be honoring a few special figures that’ve contributed heavily to the culture from their own respective areas of expertise. The 360 Icons Awards Dinner is set to go down at Ginny’s Supper Club (310 Lenox Ave) in Harlem, featuring a “Hip-Hop in Harlem” outdoor mixer, cocktails sponsored by Jack Daniels and an exclusive VIP after party to really get the weekend off to a good start.
Her work in the ’90s styling the likes of Missy Elliott, Foxy Brown, Mary J. Blige and most notably Lil Kim — who could forget those pasties at the 1999 VMAs! — was literally just the tipping point for what she has done throughout her still-thriving career. From being creative director of Rapsody’s new video for “Ibtihaj” to flossing out Teyana Taylor and Christian Combs in custom MCM gear for their “HYWI?” video, Ms. Hylton clearly has so much more to give us. We’re just here to give her the flowers while she can still smell them.
Being credited as one of the founding fathers of Hip-Hop is a heavy crown to uphold, but it’s certainly a title that Kool Herc has maintained effortlessly for almost five decades now. Even with all that he’s done as a community activist and disc jockey, particularly inventing the breakbeat style of DJing, it wasn’t until this year that he put out his first vinyl release ever with Mr. Green titled Last of the Classic Beats. At 64 years old, Herc proved to still be a pillar in rap that can still drop a classic. It’s really our honor to give the OG his rightful props.
The culture wouldn’t be properly preserved without someone to capture those special memories as they were happening. That’s where Ernie Paniccioli comes in. His legendary eye has taken him everywhere from the graffiti-ridden streets of 1970s New York City to publishing his amazing 2002 book Who Shot Ya? that covers three decades of Hip-Hop photography. His latest editorial collection of photos, Hip Hop at the End of the World, dropped last year and reminded us yet again that nobody has witnessed Hip-Hop from a perspective quite as illustrious as Ernie’s.
There have been many dope emcees over time, some who’ve even been considered the greatest of their time, but there’s only one that is dope enough to be inarguably deemed as a godly figure in rap. In short, nobody, be it past or present, compares to Rakim in any level — his style, flow, lyricism and overall skill as a rapper is literally one of one. We would honor this man every single day if we could for his past and current contributions — pick up his upcoming autobiography this fall! — but we’ll settle for now by giving him one of our 360 Icon Awards next week.
