Who’s dUECE bUG? Find Out In “Time I’m On” Video

Where’s the East Coast hip-hop lovers at? dUECE bUG is out here representing for Connecticut. He may be new to the UGHH blog, but his talent should be applauded. This dude is an MC and Drummer (which reminds me of Anderson .Paak) and has dropped a new single from his 5th album, Melting Pot.

“Time I’m On” finds dUECE bUG spitting witty bars, infusing live drums, and alternative punk vibes into a head-banger. The interesting bars that caught my ear were: “Golden rhymes schemes / flow is tight mean / shutting down bars like COVID-19”

The official music video is directed by James Joyce “The Squatch”. The video includes footage of dUECE on the drums and spitting bars from the studio inside Hat City Music Productions. The clock sculptures are created by Connecticut graffiti artist Michael J. Clocks, and are crafted from recycled electronics, metals, random trinkets/adornments and paint.

Feel free to check out the video above and add the track to your Spotify playlist – let us know what you think in the comments, should add more blog posts about dUECE bUG?

bmf brothers photo Demetrius Flenory Jr. Da'Vinchi

Demetrius Flenory Jr. Aka Lil Meech reveals the pressure he felt taking on the role of playing his father, Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory.

Founder of the “Black Mafia Family,” Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory was incarcerated when his son Lil Meech was 5 years old. Now he finds himself at the perfect age to play his dad in the true-life drama story STARZ is bringing to television. Already renewed for season 2, BMF is just starting to scratch the surface of the “Black Mafia Family’s” story.

“No one’s credibility amounts to his. I just want him to tell me he’s proud- he’s seen it, and he’s happy I did it and I killed it.” Lil Meech shared with the Source. “Once I hear that, then it’s all good for me. That’s what I want for my family.” Meech added while explaining how high the stakes were for him to deliver on playing his dad in his acting debut.

Executive producer, Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson shared Big Meech was in constant communication with his son Lil Meech and creator Randy Huggins throughout the whole process. 50 Cent and Randy Huggins also revealed the significance and impact of the “Black Mafia Family’s” story on today’s culture.

BMF follows the story of brothers Demetrius “Big Meech” Flenory (Demetrius Flenory, Jr.) and Terry “Southwest T” Flenory (Da’Vinchi), from inner-city Detroit during the 1980s. Forming to create the most prominent drug trafficking organization in the country known as the “Black Mafia Family.” The Flenory brothers must balance their desire to grab a slice of the American Dream, with the desires of what their own parents want for them.

Watch Kash Doll who plays Monique Greene and the other cast members break down the process of getting prepared to transform themselves into true-life characters based in the 1980s.

We spoke with Russell Hornsby (Fences, The Hate You Give, Lincoln Heights), Michole Briana White (Malignant, Reed Between the Lines, Love That Girl), Da’Vinchi ( All American, Grown-ish, The Way Back) Steve Harris (The Practice, Law & Order, Tyler Perry’s Diary of a Mad Black Woman). Along with executive producer and director Curtis “50 Cent Jackson and BMF executive producer and creator Randy Huggins ( Power, Star, Criminal Minds).

Meek Mill Returns To Social Media with New Video “War Stories”

Meek Mill Announces He's Officially Off Probation

Meek Mill has made ghosting all social media before dropping music a strategic rollout strategy it seems.

On July 21, when the Philadelphia rapper announced his fast from social media, smoking and sex fans suggested that new music was coming, the fans stand correct. 

Saturday the “Dreams and Nightmares” rapper dropped a new song and video for “War Stories.”

“War Stories On YouTube now https://youtu.be/3VZzO2UENsQ,” was Meek’s first tweet in about two and a half weeks. 

This track comes two months after releasing “Flamerz Flow.” The track samples the Isley Brothers’ classic ’80s hit “Ballad for the Fallen Soldier,” and the visual displays classic Meek. 

Director Carter Visual captures Meek Mill in his traditional element. A Philly rapper who emerged from the streets, still in the streets. Only this time, he does it for inspirational purposes.  

Meek’s outside whipping the Maybach, and he’s feasting with his gang. A true definition of boss status. Lil Uzi, and Bobby Shmurda both make cameos in “War Stories.”

As far as the song goes, Meek gives warning the opposition. Just because he rich doesn’t mean he isn’t active in the streets. 

“Think it’s sweet we getting money, but now we’re popping out. Ain’t throwing flags I’m dropping tags and n****s rocking out.”

Hip-Hop always feels better when Meek’s fans receive that intense energy and motivational street substance from him. They took to Twitter with their excitement of Meek’s return.

After you check out “War Stories” tell us what you think.

[WATCH] Tory Lanez and DaBaby Link Up For “SKAT”

Tori Lanez and Da Baby Skat | The Source

Tory Lanez and DaBaby link up for an energetic collaboration with “SKAT.” 

Initially there was some doubt that “SKAT” would actually be released stemming from the controversy involving Houston rapper Megan Thee Stallion. When Lanez announced the song title and collaboration with DaBaby back in January, he received heavy online backlash. We’re all familiar with Meg’s accounts of her being shot in the foot by Tory last summer. Currently Lanez has pled not guilty to the charges and has continued to publicly deny involvement in Thee Stallion’s accusations. However some of her fans were still displeased with the Canadian rapper joining forces with her frequent collaborator, DaBaby. Thus leading Megan to weigh in unbothered on Twitter stating, “That sh*t was old and not cleared.” 

But today Tory Lanez delivered the video all cleared. 

The “SKAT” release follows Tory’s 12 track R&B project Playboy, which was released in March of 2021. Playboy spawned the emotional single “Feels” with Chris Brown, as the only featured collaboration.

Tory Lanez and DaBaby are known for bringing out of the ordinary visuals and “SKAT” is no different. On the scale of fun and catchy the video falls right at the top. Both artists actually stand out playing multiple character personas in the video.

Watch all the fun antics below in the visual for “SKAT” where Tory Lanez re-enacts Pinky’s character from the cult classic Next Friday to embody a young Michael Jackson’s aesthetic in the iconic “Thriller” video. While DaBaby is seen flexing as a boxer, priest and police officer. All while firing off his usual aggressive cadence trading bars with Tory over a victorious Nils & Foreign Tek production. “SKAT” is directed by Christian Breslauer.

Tory Lanez raps…

I ain’t got time for two things, what?

These stupid a** h**s and they feelings, ayy (Okay)

All independent, my b***ches just call and they get it

They know that this ballin’ authentic (Okay)

Chocolate vanilla get hot so I hopped out the dealer

I copped a new car and I tint it (Okay)

#JayZ: Fans Praise Jay-Z’s Bars On DJ Khaled’s “SORRY NOT SORRY”

2019 Roc Nation THE BRUNCH - Inside

Source: Kevin Mazur / Getty

On Jay-Z‘s excellent “A Million and One Questions,” the Brooklyn superstar playfully asks “Is he gon’ ever fall off” to which most know the answer by now. After delivering yet another powerful string of bars on DJ Khaled’s “SORRY NOT SORRY” track, fans are propping up Hov and rightfully so while also giving his track partner Nas some shine too.

First, let’s share the lyrics from “SORRY NOT SORRY” below:

Sorry, that’s another B/Haters still ain’t recover from the other B/Mm, that’s a double B/Nah that’s a triple B, can’t forget ’bout the other Bey (Hey)/It’s the white gloves for me/Hater know not to touch me, I’m with the f*ckery (F*ck with me)/Humbly (Humbly), nah, respectfully/I’m a project baby, f*ck y’all expect from me (Technically)/’Merica’s disrespect for me/You killed Christ, you created religion, unexpectedly/Circular ice on Japanese whiskey, on my mezzanine/Overlookin’ the City of Angels, the angel invested in things

Nas glided on the track as well, making sure to mention his recent investment win in the cryptocurrency space with CoinBase among his other ventures. Jay-Z’s slight mention of angel investing also caught folks’ ears as well. The song has emerged as one of the early favorites from DJ Khaled’s Khaled Khaled album.

Thus far in 2021, this is the second major appearance of Jay-Z on a track, the first being “What It Feels Like” featuring the late Nipsey Hussle from the Judas & The Black Messiah: The Inspired Album project.

While it might be a long shot if we’ll ever get a follow-up to the excellent 4:44, Jay-Z is solidified in the eyes of many.

Travis Scott has kept a lower profile of late after last dropping a project in 2019 with the collaboration album JackBoys. While he preps his latest studio album in Utopia for a 2021 release, the raging star announced the return of his Astroworld Festival for this coming November in Houston.

On Friday (April 30), which also happens to be Cactus Jack’s 29th birthday, Scott shared that the festival is on its way back with an expanded two-day format.

The event will hit H-Town’s NRG Park in the fall on November 5 through November 6, kicking off a weekend that will leave lasting memories for Scott’s legion of fans and for any concertgoers who miss the feel and energy of the live show due to the pandemic robbing many of that outlet for over a year and change.

The theme for Astroworld 2021 is “Open Your Eyes To A Whole New Universe” and the lineup will be meticulously curated by Scott himself and fans can expect to see rock star energy from all performers and set designs that will match the expectation of fans.

As the festival’s headlining act, Scott won’t disappoint in terms of performance and theatrics and while we don’t know yet who will join Scott on the Astroworld stages, his address book is stacked with some of the game’s best and brightest.

Passes for Astroworld Festival 2021 will be available on May 5 at 10 AM CT at AstroworldFest.com. Two-day General Admission and VIP packages will be available. Portions of the ticket sales will go towards the Cactus Jack Foundation which supports the educational endeavors of young people.

Check out the trailer for Astroworld Festival below.

Teyana Taylor Retired From Music Because She Felt Unappreciated At G.O.O.D. Music

Street Style - Paris Fashion Week - Womenswear Fall/Winter 2020/2021 : Day Three

Even though she released one of the best projects in 2018 Teyana Taylor didn’t feel comfortable at her recording home. She now says she left the game due to G.O.O.D. Music’s lack of support.

As spotted on Yahoo! Entertainment, the Harlem native is shedding more light on why her critically acclaimed album K.T.S.E. was her last. During a recent appearance on Sip ‘N Smoke, she revealed to Cam Newton her decision to retire from the music industry.

“At the end of the day, I’m a mom first,” she explained. “A mom, a wife, a woman. And I think for me, I put in a lot of work. I work very, very hard. So, if you feel unheard and unseen—like how I said earlier with my husband. He sees me, he hears me. I take that sh*t serious. Everything that I do. So if you’re my husband, or I’m signed, everybody that I’m aligned with should see me. They should hear me. They should feel me. If you don’t see me, hear me, or feel me, it’s a dub for you.”

The “Never Would Have Made It” singer went on to say that she felt very unappreciated at her record label.

“And I felt like the label wasn’t really hearing me and seeing me,” she continued. “I felt underappreciated. So, for my mental health, my mental well-being, for my kids, let me just put this on ice for a little [bit]. It’s not that I retired permanently. It’s more like, I just don’t feel like I want to move another inch for a company.”
