Before his show at the Theatre of Living Arts in Philly, ScHoolboy Q visited Power 99 and dropped a rhyme over “Bitch Please” during The Come Up Show. Funky hat, Q. Funkier bars.
As Donald Glover prepares for his new project, he hands Flex his new record featuring TDE’s ScHoolboy Q. Hopefully, Gambino has more tunes in the stash. On the flip side, his album Camp is so necessary.

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.
