It is official the Texas Hottie Megan thee Stallion has a new music release strategy to partner with Music Warner Group to distribute her music while still remaining an independent artist. With having such a ghastly year one being a long legal battle with 1501 Certified Entertainment. This decision raised questions and concerns with her “hottie” fans. Megan thee Stallion has built such a brand and following on her own, it is surprising to see the “Cobra” artist align herself with another label. Both 1501 certified entertainment and Megan Thee Stallion are delighted to put this chapter behind them and move on.
Fortunately she will be self funding and embarking a new indie artist journey. This legal agreement allows her to continue to work with staff from 300 Entertainment from her previous contract. Warner Music Group will sell and/or market on behalf of Megan thee Stallion music. While she keeps all ownership of her music. Which is a vast power move for any artist in this industry. The Texas artist conveyed in a live in October how she has no desire to sign with a major label. “I’m so excited to be doing something for the first time independent since it was just me and my momma,” she said. “I’m so excited ‘cause it’s really just me this go round.” This deal allows the 28-year-old artist to remain independent and gives more leverage for her to keep her masters, while also still being managed by Roc Nation.

Only time will tell how this partnership plays out for Megan thee Stallion. As fans and observers, we can only hope that she remains true to herself and continues to deliver the fierce and game changing music that we have come to love. Megan thee Stallion and Renee Rapp collaboration has been announced, Sunday December 10 that they will be working together on a song in the new “Mean Girls” musical film. 2024 sounds like it will be the year of the Stallion.

The event has supported over 248 families, including nearly 500 children per press release.

Last year Offset was presented with an Honorary Key to Gwinnett County and a key to the city of Lawrenceville, Ga because of the many contributions that totaled $35,000 in toys and logistical supplies.
This year, Offset has a more ambitious goal of doubling the number of families served from last year.

Baby Tate's New EP 'Sexploration: The Musical' Is A Sensational Journey of Sexual Self-Exploration
On October 27th, Baby Tate presented her latest EP titled Sexploration: The Musical, at Lumiere Music Hall in Beverly Hills. We discuss it here!
Baby Tate has been remarkably transparent about her journey of self-discovery regarding her sexuality over the past few years. On October 27th, she presented her latest EP, which tells the captivating story of her journey, titled Sexploration: The Musical, at Lumiere Music Hall in Beverly Hills. The sultry vibes of the event included complimentary popcorn and an open bar featuring three signature Ciroc cocktails, each inspired by tracks from the EP: Sexplortini, Jersey Sour, and Wig Snatcher. After indulging in the complimentary snacks and drinks, the audience settled in for the show.
Baby Tate made a grand entrance into the theater, delivering her opening remarks where she expressed gratitude for the overwhelming support and shared the backstory of the project. She began by emphasizing the importance of sharing her personal journey of self-discovery in the realm of sexuality, as it's a journey that we all must embark on. In a world filled with stigmas, stereotypes, and judgments surrounding sexuality, Baby Tate courageously opened up about now identifying as pansexual rather than bisexual, a transformation influenced by a heartfelt conversation with her grandmother.
“So many black people grow up in a Christian household like I did, but my Grandma was accepting of me, and so many people don’t have that kind of support.”
Sexploration: The Musical serves as Tate's creative vessel to convey the highs, lows, and everything in between that accompanies exploring the complexities of love, lust, and desire in relationships. The "I AM" rapper's performing arts background is on full display in this project, consisting of five videos filled with music and choreography, effectively telling a story in the style of a pop musical. As the lights dimmed, the show commenced with Baby Tate narrating her sexual exploration journey and introducing the first track: Luv Everybody.
Described by Baby Tate as a "Pansexual Prance," the song vividly illustrates various sexual experiences with both men and women while embracing comfort with one's own desires. The lyrics "Ain't no need to fight about me, I love everybody" encapsulate the essence of the song. Transitioning into the next track, Lollipop, Baby Tate playfully asks, "How many licks does it take? A lot less when it's just the girls." This song is a lesbian love anthem that delves into the exploration of sexual experiences with women.

The catchy beat exudes pop sensibilities, while the lyrics maintain a sultry and sexy tone, striking a harmonious balance. Continuing to maintain the pop vibes, the emotional landscape shifts slightly as Baby Tate weaves the story of a woman seeking refuge with her friends who fly her out to Jersey after a painful breakup. Although the plan is to have fun and games, Baby Tate finds herself crying in the club instead. She taps into her hip-hop roots in the next track, Grip, which samples Ying Yang Twins' Whisper Song. The song offers an in-depth description of the intimate experiences gentlemen will encounter in her world of love. The final track is a lively and flamboyant ode to a woman's love for a blonde "bust-down" wig.

With Sexploration: The Musical, Baby Tate establishes herself as a truly creative and dynamic performer. The project pays homage to Drag culture and serves as a powerful tool in breaking the stigma associated with openly exploring one's sexuality and embracing our authentic selves. Be sure to check out the visuals for Sexploration: The Musical and download the EP to your library, as it's available on all streaming platforms!

21 Savage To Perform In London For The First Time After Finally Receiving His Green Card
After a well-publicized battle with immigration, 21 Savage is making headlines again as he plans to return to his native land London for an international tour. We discuss it here!

After a well-publicized battle with immigration, 21 Savage is making headlines again as he plans to return to his native land London for an international tour. This exciting news follows the announcement from his immigration attorney that 21 Savage has officially become a U.S. citizen.
“She’yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph followed all applicable Immigration laws since his initial detention by ICE. His immigration court proceedings have now been terminated and he is a lawful permanent resident of the United States with the freedom to travel internationally.”
Born as Sha Yaa Bin Abraham-Joseph in the United Kingdom, the 30-year-old rapper legally immigrated to the United States at a young age. However, his journey took an unexpected turn in 2019 when he was arrested and detained by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement in Atlanta during what was described as a "targeted operation with federal and local law enforcement partners." The root of the 2019 incident can be traced back to a 2005 visa that had expired after just one year.
“The worst thing was sitting in there not knowing what was going to happen, or when it was going to happen. Whenever I went to jail before, it was, ‘You’re being charged with this and going to court on this date.’ But immigration ain’t like that. You’re just being held.”
The aftermath of his arrest plunged 21 Savage into a long public legal battle to remain in the United States and avoid deportation. As of April, his immigration status remained in limbo due to pending criminal charges in Georgia.
Fast forward to October, and the status of 21 Savage's citizenship woes appears to have been revealed in Drake's track 8 AM in Charlotte, where the Toronto-born rapper raps, "Savage got a green card straight out of the consulate/Where I go, you go, brother, we Yugoslavian." Notably, the two artists are currently wrapping up their It's All A Blur North American Tour. This tour had a surprising twist this past August when 21 Savage couldn't enter Canada due to his ongoing immigration issues. Headlining artists Travis Scott and J. Cole stepped in as surprise guests at the Vancouver and Montreal concerts, respectively.
21 Savage himself took to Instagram to share his excitement about his upcoming return to London. He posted a video entitled "London I'm Coming Home," which features footage of his childhood memories in London set to Skylar Grey's Coming Home. This moment is pivotal for the superstar rapper as he prepares to perform in London for the first time in his career.
In reflecting on his immigration journey, 21 Savage has noted that the visa application process can be discouraging for many immigrants who lack proper documentation, as it can "hang over your head forever."
According to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) website, obtaining a visa is a lengthy and challenging process for individuals initially immigrating to the United States. It involves multiple steps before a visa or green card is issued. In the case of the British rapper, he was eligible for an adjustment of status, a process that allows individuals to apply for lawful permanent resident status (also known as applying for a green card) while they are present in the United States, without having to return to their home country to complete visa processing.
21 Savage's journey from his early immigration challenges to his current status as a U.S. citizen and his plans to return to London for an international tour is a remarkable story of perseverance and achievement. It sheds light on the complexities of the immigration system and the impact it can have on individuals' lives and careers. As fans eagerly await his London performance, the rapper's journey continues to captivate and inspire.

Keefe D Arrested as Suspect in Tupac's Murder Case
The Tupac Shakur murder case reopens with Keefe D, aka Duane Davis arrested in connection to the incident. We discuss it here!
By: Gentel Sharrie
In 1996, the world lost a legendary figure when Tupac Shakur was tragically murdered in the streets of Las Vegas during a drive-by shooting. This unsolved murder has continued to captivate the public's imagination for decades. However, recent developments in the case have shed new light on this long-standing mystery. The arrest of Keefe D, whose real name is Duane Davis, has sparked renewed interest in the investigation.
Keefe D, a member of the South Side Compton Crips gang, now faces first-degree murder charges in connection with Tupac's killing. What makes this development particularly intriguing is the fact that Keefe D was reportedly inside the Cadillac at the time of the fatal shooting. This chilling incident occurred following the highly anticipated Mike Tyson and Bruce Sheldon fight at the MGM Grand. Keefe D himself confirmed in an interview that he was in the back seat of the vehicle from which the shots were fired at Tupac. His arrest includes charges of murder with the use of a deadly weapon, as well as intent to promote, further, or assist a criminal gang.
The investigation into Tupac's murder has spanned an astonishing 27 years, leaving many to wonder if Suge Knight, the former CEO of Death Row Records and the man who bailed Tupac out of jail, will finally break his silence and testify regarding the arrest of Keefe D. Suge Knight played a pivotal role in Tupac's career, helping him release some of his most iconic hits, such as All Eyez On Me.
While Suge Knight was present on that fateful night when Tupac was gunned down, he has steadfastly refused to cooperate with authorities or divulge any information related to the shooting. This stance is significant, given that Keefe D and Suge Knight are the only two surviving witnesses out of the six individuals present that night. Law enforcement officers have stated that Keefe D allegedly procured the weapon used in Tupac's murder.
As this complex and enduring case continues to unfold, the world remains on edge, hoping that this arrest may finally bring closure to the untimely and tragic demise of one of hip-hop's most beloved icons.

Inglewood's History Comes Alive in Autumn Breon's Performance Of 'Still Here'
Autumn Breon, the renowned multidisciplinary artist, unveiled her captivating live performance, Still Here at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA, adding a vibrant chapter to the city's rich history. We discuss it here!
Autumn Breon - Still Here
Autumn Breon, the renowned multidisciplinary artist, unveiled her captivating live performance, Still Here, on Saturday, September 23rd. This extraordinary event marked the grand opening of Residency Art Gallery's new location at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, CA, adding a vibrant chapter to the city's rich history.
Drawing inspiration from the cultural tapestry of Inglewood, Autumn Breon orchestrated a performance that was nothing short of mesmerizing. The soundscape was adorned with the harmonious melodies of the Grant A.M.E. Church Choir and the spirited rhythms of the Black Fist Brass Band. What sets this performance apart from others is the interactive nature, inviting the audience to approach Autumn Breon, pluck a memory note from her hair, and embark on a journey through Inglewood's cherished past.
Autumn Breon
Autumn Breon's motivation for this project is deeply rooted in the changing landscape of Inglewood. She believes that as the city evolves, it is vital to pay homage to its historical significance. Residency Art Gallery, founded in 2016, shares this commitment, being one of the few Black-owned commercial art spaces dedicated to serving LA's diverse communities.
The gallery's mission is to amplify the voices of contemporary artists who create art that resonates with their communities. Often, these narratives get lost or misappropriated in predominantly White, affluent, and inaccessible art spaces elsewhere in the city. Residency Art Gallery seeks to answer a fundamental question: How can art by people of color reach its intended audience within their own neighborhoods?
Autumn Breon's work encapsulates a powerful message of liberation through a queer Black feminist lens. Employing various mediums, including performance, sculpture, and public installation, she encourages audiences to explore intersectional identities and the memories of the African Diaspora. Her previous work, (Don't) Use Me, examined the concept of time through the lens of Black women's labor, shedding light on the stark racial and gender pay disparities.
Autumn Breon - Don't Use Me
Breon's art is a call to action, an invitation for the public to participate in reimagining and building systems that render oppressive ones obsolete. She has an impressive portfolio, having created commissions for institutions like the Art Production Fund, Frieze Art Fair, and the ACLU of Southern California, and her performances have graced prestigious venues like Hauser & Wirth, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, and the Water Mill Center.
Autumn Breon's journey has been one of intellectual and artistic exploration, from her studies in Aeronautics and astronautics at Stanford University to her innovative work in the realm of art. She is also the recipient of the Crenshaw Dairy Mart Fellowship for Abolition & the Advancement of the Creative Economy.
Still Here was an immersive experience, a testament to Autumn Breon's unwavering commitment to storytelling and activism through art. This performance not only celebrates Inglewood's heritage but also serves as a beacon of hope for the future, where art transcends boundaries and speaks directly to the hearts of its intended audience.

A special arrival of Destiny's Child members showered the NRG Stadium with a grand surprise. Kelly Rowland, Michelle Williams, LaTavia Roberson, and LeToya Luckett were all in attendance for the Renaissance World Tour at the NRG Stadium in Houston, Texas. The last time we saw DC3 (Kelly, Beyonce, and Michelle) was at Beychella in 2018 when the girls struck the crowd with the iconic Charlie's Angels pose. With the background music to 'Girl' by DC3 and a mashup with 'Lose My Breath,' we knew that this reunion would be one for the books.
Yet, we saw the girls come together with two more original members in Houston. Only missing Farrah Franklin, the crowd was surprised to see the group back together once more. Does this foreshadow that the singing group will take the stage soon in a reconciliation stage tour? The dreamers can only imagine. There has been high-speed talk of 'what if's' and hypotheses of this actually coming to pass.
Destiny's Child - Medley | Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival 2018 (4K)
Since the 1990s, the bunch has played excessively on all platforms. Even when Beyoncé became a solo artist, the love for Destiny's Child remains perpetually extant. Gradually coming to an end of the Renaissance tour, we can only pray that this will all come true. We would love to see these legendary women holding hands and optimistically setting their next stage on fire.
