Not only did Cam make millions, he also made a new track with a response to Jay-Z’s claim on “Pound Cake”. Can a brother borrow a dollar? The cut will appear on Killa’s Ghetto Heaven Vol.1 dropping tomorrow.

Rick Ross made his Juan Epstein debut recently on Hot 97. According to Mr. Rosenberg, this one’s a doozy. Arguably the most in depth Ross interview to date. Many highlights here, but my personal favorite is Ross’ story about meeting Kanye back when he “had cyphers with Yeezy before his mouth wired”. Thank you Ross! Self Made 3 in stores now!

Finally! After my battery died, SupremeTV picked up the slack and caught the remainder of Drake’s set at the ALife store. During his performance, he called on Travi$ Scott and later on, Raekwon grabbed the mic for “C.R.EA.M”.

If history has proven anything, it’s that rappers never retire. But to hear N.O.R.E. tell it, he’s ready to put the mic down after his next album Melvin Flynt 2 and focus on becoming a rap CEO. Say what, what?!

During Meek’s listening session last night, he said this was one of his favorite songs on the mixtape. He was, however, apprehensive about the response. Get used to it. DC3 is set to drop this Sunday.

This is a great reminder of how powerful and lasting Lauryn Hill’s influence has been in music. The fact that The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill eventually reached diamond status after so many years shows that truly meaningful music can continue finding new listeners long after its original release. I also like how the article highlights the combination of hip hop, R&B, neo soul, and reggae that made the album so distinctive. Achieving more than 10 million sales is an incredible milestone, especially considering how much the music industry has changed since 1998. The album’s success feels less like a temporary trend and more like proof that strong songwriting and authentic artistic expression can remain relevant across generations. It is interesting to see how numbers can tell part of a story, whether we are looking at album sales or using a proportion calculator to understand relationships between different figures.
