It's The Boombap

After a handful of impressive singles, Pro Era member, Powers Pleasant, has finally dropped his new project, Life is Beautiful. The album kicks off with a pep talk from none other than Sway Calloway from the legendary Sway in the Morning radio show. Afterward, a myriad of impressive rappers poke their heads out on the project. Life is Beautiful features the likes of Denzel Curry, IDK, A$AP Ferg, Jay Critch, ZillaKami, and more as well as fellow Pro Era members Joey Bada$$ and Kirk Knight. Totaling only twenty-three minutes, the project and short and sweet and wastes little time on needless filler songs. One highlight is “Please Forgive." The track might be the hardest on the album. Denzel Curry and City Morgue's ZillaKami come through with characteristically impressive verses, and IDK destroys the hook.
Powers Pleasant has had himself a busy year. He’s still fresh off the release of the latest Beast Coast record, Escape From New York, which landed him several production credits. Check out his newest venture below.
Tracklist:
1. Sway’s Intro
2. Vintage Chanel f. Joey Bada$$ & Kirk Knight
3. Please Forgive f. Denzel Curry, IDK & Zillakami
4. Can’t Fucc Wit It f. G Perico & Buddy

Of all the young rappers that have come up this year, Lil Tecca may be standing in front of the line. The 16-year-old from New York will be celebrating his birthday in a few days and it appears as though he has a gift planned out for himself.
Not many high school-aged teens can say that they currently have a song sitting inside of the Top Ten on the Billboard Hot 100 but with "Ransom," Lil Tecca was able to accomplish exactly that. The rapper is currently preparing his debut project after releasing a series of one-off singles and today, he told the world the title of the work and unveiled its cover art.

The photo shows a drawing of Tecca with his signature glasses and his braids hanging in front of his face as he hugs the planet. The words "We Love You Tecca" are superimposed in front of the Earth and instead of listing the continents, hearts are present in between bodies of water. Perhaps this is his way of warning us that he's about to take over the world?
The New York rapper has not revealed when he plans to drop the project. In fact, he hasn't even clarified if it will be an album, a mixtape, an EP or a single. We wouldn't be surprised if this arrives somewhat soon though. Are you looking forward to hearing more new music from him?

The streets of Toronto haven't been kind to Kid Buu. Recently, there were rumors floating about that the 30-year-old rapper got himself caught up in some trouble after he was robbed during a visit to the Canadian city. DJ Akademiks and No Jumper's Adam22 shared video clips and images of a masked person flaunting Kid Buu's jewelry, suggesting that the rapper had been robbed. The alleged thief wears one chain while displaying another along with an iced out watch.
"Goons in Toronto claimed they robbed #kidbuu...most likely a stunt but idk," Akademiks wrote in the caption to the video. A Canadian outlet named 6ixBuzz TV also shared the news of Kid Buu's alleged robbery and commented on Akademik's post, "Nah its facts crodie. @kidbuu can’t be acting up in the city 😤💯."
Meanwhile, a Twitter user shared what may have gone down before the supposed altercation occurred. "KidBuu posted a video of him in Toronto saying 'n*ggas scared to come outside' and then got immediately robbed for his chain and watch, made his Instagram private LOL 😂😂😂😂😂." Others are claiming that the entire episode is for clout and nothing even took place. Who knows. Check it out and judge for yourself, and make sure watch Kid Buu kicking it with us for our Snack Review series below.

BROCKHAMPTON released their fifth studio album GINGER on Friday, and fans have been soaking in the Los Angeles-based hip hop collective's vibe ever since. They'd previously shared their singles "BOY BYE," "I BEEN BORN AGAIN," "NO HALO," and "IF YOU PRAY RIGHT," but the second track on the album, "SUGAR," is a noteworthy addition.
Ryan Beatty is responsible for the melodic chorus as the lyricists stick to the theme of GINGER and deliver rhymes that are emotional and oftentimes introspective. "Some stuff I feel like you just can’t control," Kevin Abstract told Rolling Stone. "I don’t know what makes a song connect anymore, and I don’t think people really know. Our album is very summery right now. Even though it’s maybe rooted in sadness, the goal is to make it feel right and to uplift and to help people get through."
Quotable Lyrics
And she gave me all I need for the night, 40 suffice
Morally alright but I need some advice
And I know that I'm acting foolish
Could you pick me up around noon-ish?
Half a blunt, yeah, we coolin'
Twist it up, putting on OutKast
I'm the taxi, and yeah, we cruisin'

Someone else besides Johnny Depp's ex-wife Amber Heard is looking to take the acclaimed actor to court. Back in 2018, Depp starred in the film City of Lies alongside Forest Whitaker. In the film, Depp portrayed real-life Los Angeles Police Department detective Russell Poole who investigated the murders of Tupac Shakur and Christopher "Notorious B.I.G." Wallace.
One month before the film was to hit theaters, it was pulled and shelved. While there hasn't been any further announcement regarding a worldwide release date (although it has been leaked), it hasn't kept the movie from making headlines. Earlier this year, a crew member from the film named Gregg “Rocky” Brooks filed a lawsuit against Depp claiming that the actor punched him twice in the ribs when Brooks attempted to impose the restrictions of certain permits.

According to The Blast, new documents state that Brooks is asking for $70K from Depp, but Depp isn't having it. The actor reportedly counters that the assault never even happened and Brooks didn't ask for medical expenses. Brooks is seeking damages for lost wages which is how he came up with his number.
Depp also wants the case to be moved to a lower court, something Brooks is adamantly against because the most the alleged victim would be able to take home would be $25K.

It was almost a year ago when the Reading & Leeds Festival announced their 2019 line up. The two-day event planned to host artist like Post Malone, Billie Eilish, Stefflon Don, Foo Fighters, DaBaby, Yungblud, and Chicago's very own Juice WRLD. United Kingdom fans couldn't wait to purchase their tickets and see their favorite artists take to the stages, however, the hoards of people waiting on Juice WRLD were left with disappointment.
According to NME, the 20-year-old artist was all set to begin his performance at 4:10 p.m. There was a DJ hyping up the massive crowd that was gathering together awaiting Juice WRLD to take to the stage, however, just five minutes later host Huw Stephens instead grabbed the mic and delivered a message. "We have an important announcement to make and we’re afraid it’s bad news," he said. "Juice WRLD will not be able to perform today due to a flight issue."
Before leaving the area, fans reportedly let their frustrations be known by booing the stage and storming social media with criticisms. Fans also shared that Lil Uzi Vert was supposed to perform as well, but he, also, backed out at the last minute. However, his name isn't listed on the festival's website.

Fantasia's career has been much like a roller coaster ride. The American Idol winner's career catapulted into the stratosphere as her debut studio album Free Yourself went platinum and its follow-up, Fantasia, went gold. Yet, over the years there were unfavorable headlines and dramatic moments that haunted her personal life, and it seemed as if her talents took a backseat to the tabloids.
However, Fantasia has pulled herself together, refocused, and is preparing for her next project titled Sketchbook. The first single from the album is "PTSD," a collaboration featuring T-Pain. "This was a much edgier song for me but one that I felt was needed on the Sketchbook album," Fantasia said in a press release. "Many people have experienced disappointment in the pursuit of love, but refuse to let one bad experience dictate their entire outlook on love and romance overall."
Fantasia has also announced that she's hitting the road once again, this time with R&B singers Tank, Robin Thicke, and The Bonfyre. The Sketchbook Tour will run from October 17 until Dec 6. Check out her latest effort and let us know what you think.
Quotable Lyrics
Had one job, couldn't do it, she fumbled
You was talkin' like you was gon' be something, ooh
I gave it to you but you messed it up
Wasn't good enough
One thing I won't do is be with anyone
'Cause I'm not for everyone

Tekashi 6ix9ine found himself on the wrong side of Rap-A-Lot's J Prince Jr. when the rainbow-haired rapper decided to pull up at a party. J Prince Jr. hosted a get-together in Houston for his birthday and 6ix9ine pulled up with his posse uninvited. The "GUMMO" rapper was stopped at the door and told that he wasn't welcome, reportedly because it was during a time when 6ix9ine was at odds with multiple people in the industry and on the streets and no one wanted to be caught in his crossfire.
J Prince Jr. shared a video of the moment when 6ix9ine was being escorted out of the area, but DJ Akademiks later reported that Tekashi's team called foul on claims that the rapper was kicked out. "Although I might not condone in a bunch of the moves you’ve made, I don’t know u and I know that your young and new to this so u have a lot of learning to do," J Prince Jr. wrote in the caption of his video clip. "So with that being said, I’m still willing to sit down and have a conversation with u but not for one second do u get it misunderstood that u can get away with the disrespect in my city the way you’ve shown in others. We won’t tolerate it. Make your next move your best move!"
It's been over a year since the hoopla went down, and J Prince Jr. addressed it with the press for the first time during an interview with No Jumper's Adam22. "I had to put a kid in his place," he said. "And as you see, once I addressed the situation, I said nothing more about it because I'm not no lip boxer. I'm not gon' go on social media and back and forth with you. Imma check your temperature. And, you know, respect can be shown in a bunch of different fashions. He showed me respect when he come to the Worldstar show. That was respect whether he want to say it or not or the world want to say it or not. It was respect. He [respected] the power. So, I seen he respected me and I never spoke up on it again."

Would you square up with Blueface? Recently video have been circulating throughout social media that reportedly show the "Thotiana" rapper knocking his opponents out cold. The rapper shared a series of clips on his Instagram Story where he showed off some of his fisticuffs moves. In one, he was obviously engaged in a friendly spar as both he and his opponent were wearing boxing gloves, but the other two seem like they were a bit more serious.
Some reports are stating that in one video, Blueface dodged a swing and knocked his foe to his knees after the man tried to pull up on the rapper. However, Blueface himself hasn't offered up any explanation for the physical altercation. "Works every time," he wrote over one of the videos.
Meanwhile, Santa Clarita news station KHTS reports that the rapper has recently surfaced in the Southern California suburb for a court appearance. He's connected to a case where he's accused of being involved in a shooting that occurred in November 2018. Police claim that Blueface was a passenger in a vehicle that exchanged gunfire with another car on a highway before crashing into a center divider. The outlet states that the rapper is set to return to court on October 18 for his pretrial hearing.
