All good things come to an end. Last night during the Drama Hour on Hot 97, DJ Kay Slay announced on Twitter that he’s working on his final album Rhyme Or Die. Nice title. Shortly after, Sermon asked Slay the reasoning behind his decision. The Drama King responded with this: I know that’s right. Dez’s current album, More Than Just A DJ is in stores and so is the latest issue of Straight Stuntin‘ magazine. Don’t be a culture vulture!

Wave for me baby. Performing across the pond isn’t the only thing Rihanna has been up to. The pop star spent her days off shooting her next video at a white castle in Paris. No Harold and Kumar. And once again, she links back up with video director, Anthony Mandler. This is Ri everyday, no days off. More pics after the jump. Rap-Up

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.
