What a night. Before Fat Trel took the stage at S.O.B.’s an unidentified gunman opened fire during a performance. Reports say it was unrelated to the rapper, but rather local gang beef. Four people were treated from the blast.
Back so soon? Although Meek’s album was released three months ago, he’s already preparing to release the third installment of his Dreamchasers mixtape series. No official date yet, but he claims to have created the “best song of his life” for the project. We’ll see.
6,000 fans packed Williamsburg Park in Brooklyn last night to see the king of both coasts, Kendrick Lamar. Before going into “m.A.A.d City”, he threw a subliminal jab at Meek Mill. Who’s next? Doot! Doot! Doot!
J.Cole’s What Dreams May Come Tour kicked off last night in Miami. With Wale setting things off, he brought out Rick Ross for “FUCKWITHMEYOUKNOWIGOTIT” off Jay-Z’s Magna Carta Holy Grail. Hear that crowd? That’s one helluva murmur.
While cruising the Hudson River, Fabolous keeps his ship stocked with Ciroc flavored boricuas. Afterwards, he and 2 Chainz bring their party onshore at La Marina in Washington Heights.
Sometimes, less is more. Such is the case of The Internet’s new recording and visual aid. Surprisingly, the track is mature. It’s the kind of song that could sneak into the playlist of a grown & sexy party without raising any suspicion.

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.
