Is there a more viral act tearing up the inter-webs right now then Kodiyak Redd and FlyySoulja, aka, the Island Boyz? If there is, I’m not aware of it, and considering that’s more or less my job, I think I would know. Not only do these two have a combined 3.5 Million followers on Tik Tok and just over 800K followers on Instagram, but they’ve also become a viral sensation thanks to a bare-bones clip that sees both of them singing while hanging out in a pool. Since that clip made them viral, they’ve

2021/11/08

Almost exactly a year ago, we debuted a brand-new video chronicling the “Dark Side” of Travis Scott’s fame. There, we not only covered things like turning his back on his friend and mentor, OG CHE$$, but also how he used and abused the friendship of Shane Morris who helped Travis Scott earn far more streams and fans than he ever would have otherwise. You know, normally I would dive a lot deeper into a revelation as big as that, but today, we really don’t have the time -- because there’s an even

When the $uicideboy$ burst onto the scene in the early 2010s, they shocked their listeners with their depression-laced lyrics and an origin that told the story of two down-on-their-luck wannabe rappers who made a pact to end themselves if they didn’t make it by the time they were 30. Well, thankfully for all of us, especially themselves, not only have the Suicideboys made it – they’ve accomplished more than their wildest dreams on their way to a net worth that sites like TADDLR estimate to be in the

Has there ever been a more riveting rock-and-roll performer than Gordon Edgar Downie? There’s certainly never been a more captivating Canadian rock-star, I can tell you that. Today, you might be able to choose from any one of a ton of Tragically Hip performances to view online, but trust me when I say, experiencing Downie’s art that way simply doesn’t do it justice.

According to the folks over at the BBC, The Tragically Hip are “the most Canadian band in the world”, and really, is there anyone who disagrees with that sentiment? The New York Times once defined them as “the band that has come closest to defining Canada’s cultural identity.” We are talking Rock N Roll legends and I’m lucky enough to get the opportunity to sit down with the members of the band a little later this week. This upcoming October the 15th marks the 30th anniversary of the album Road

Kay Flock has made it and he isn’t afraid to show off the perks of his success. I mean it’s not every boyfriend who gets to drop a literal bag on an entire Amiri store to impress his boo. And he’s also more than willing to throw down a few hundred dollars on single-shot outfits for himself AND his sister. Of course, no spectacular fit is complete without a little ice to go along with it and Kay picked himself up a ritzy Cartier watch that probably makes him something of a driving hazard on a really

Before rapper Digga D could legally buy a pint of alcoholic beverage at any one of his local London pubs, he’d become a breakthrough drill artist in his home country of the UK. Today, at 21-years-old, he’s now grown-up enough to spend his fortune any way he sees fit. So how much is this upcoming artist worth? Well, according to sites like Pop’n’able and Capital Xtra, he’s got a net worth in the $100,000 range. Now I know what you’re thinking – that number sounds awfully low. And it is – however, the

For years, drill music has featured stammering drums and smooth 808’s. Whether it’s Chicago, London, or even Brooklyn style – they all tend to share the same characteristics. But now there’s a new drill sound that’s shaking it all up. This new genre is sometimes called “sample drill” and it’s rising up from a totally different New York City borough – the Bronx. Over the last several months, there have been numerous examples including B Lovee’s “If You Know, You Know”, Kay Flock’s “Being Honest”, and

Durk Derrick Banks, aka, Lil Durk, exploded onto the rap scene in the early 2010s. At that point, he was still only a teenager, but thanks to a wicked self-starter streak, he founded his very own rap collective known as “Only the Family” through which he would drop his original mixtapes like “I’m a Hitta” and “Signed to the Streets”. On the bright side of fame, all of that hard work paid off when he wound up on Def Jam Recordings in 2015. He’d soon after released his debut studio album, “Remember My

I don’t know about you guys, but it seems to me that as popular as both Chicago and UK drill music can be, all anyone wants to talk about these days are the drill beats emanating out of New York -- more specifically, the Bronx. That’s where trio-of close friends that we know as Kay Flock, B Lovee, and Dougie B would spend their childhoods, running their block, before becoming three of the biggest rap stars in the city with hit tracks like “Brotherly Love”, “T-Cardi”, and “Pop That”.
