Odds are that, by now, you’ve probably heard at least a snippet of the 2019 hit, “Dance Monkey” -- the song that’s been streamed well over a billion times from Australian artist, Tones and I. And yet, at the time she released it, Tones was still so new to the industry that even though her song was charting number one across the world, she barely understood what a music chart was! This lack of familiarity in regards to the industry only makes what Tone managed to accomplish all the more remarkable. A

In fact, by the time he dropped his debut album, “Harlem World”, Mase was already a bonafide star. Sure, his flow might have been a bit more relaxed than your average MC, and yes, his raps were often questioned for their startling simplicity, but the man carved out a lane for himself and stuck

In a lot of ways, Chrisean Rock has always been on the run. Early on in her life, she was a track and field star for Santa Monica College, but even long before that, she had to learn how to think quickly on her feet. Growing up in a family of a dozen siblings with one parent incarcerated and another struggling to remain sober, Chrisean needed to make herself as strong as possible to survive. But surprisingly, it wasn’t her athletic abilities that would one day provide her with fame – instead, it was

The New Orleans rapper, Mystikal, once had the entire hip-hop industry singing his praises during his breakout period in the late 90’s and early 2000’s. But just as it seemed like he was poised to become one of the genre’s biggest stars, a series of criminal charges that would set his career back insurmountably.

He's one of the most polarizing personalities in the world right now I wouldn't be surprised if this video gets taken down by YouTube just for mentioning his name. On the other hand, some of his prediction videos continue to go viral like he is some kind of time traveler from the future. We actually had the opportunity to have him visit our studio

In fact, most information pertains to the Seattle Mariner pitcher known as Luis Castillo, who is decidedly not the dude we’re here to talk about today. Which only

When it comes to professional fighting as a means to make a living, athletes end up in one of two camps – either extremely rich or fighting to survive off menial prize money. Tristan Tate’s career as a professional Kickboxer definitely falls into that latter category. So, how has he wound up with an estimated net-worth of $10 Million according to sources like LAD-Bible.com?

Tristan grew up alongside his older brother, the equally famous – if not a little more so – Andrew Tate, whose own professional career has provided a roadmap of sorts for his baby bro.
