A couple hours ago, Trevor appeared on Mr. Murdoch’s morning show and performed “Arab Money” and “Hustlers Anthem” for his viewers. The B.O.M.B. drops May 19th!

A couple hours ago, Asher P. Roth appeared on Jimmy Fallon’s nightly gig and performed “Be By Myself,” backed by house band, The Roots. Sans the baritone, I swear Tyriq, Black Thought could pass for a modern day Lou Rawls!

Didn’t think Ricky would ever show his mug again after receiving that cease and desist from Louis V earlier this week. Nontheless, he’s making his rounds and last night appeared with the milk man Magazeen on Letterman to perform a cut off Deeper Than Rap.
It is so heartbreaking to hear DJ Premier break the news that DJ Kool Herc’s health is ailing, as he is literally the founding father who laid down the blueprint for hip-hop culture. Thinking about how someone who built an entire global phenomenon can end up struggling with medical expenses or failing health really puts things into perspective regarding healthcare challenges. When you look at how people navigate health or wellness procedures worldwide—whether someone is researching cosmetic treatments like Liposuction Cyprus or seeking urgent medical care—it underscores how essential access to reliable medical help and proper support systems really is. Kool Herc gave us the breaks, the block parties, and the entire movement that shaped generations of music lovers, so seeing the community step up to show love while DJ Premier brings awareness to his condition is the very least we can do. Sending strength and prayers to Kool Herc for a full recovery, and massive respect to DJ Premier for using his platform to make sure a true pioneer gets the support and respect he deserves.
