During a recent Emmys FYC conversation in Atlanta with Bmf showrunner Heather Zuhlke, stars Demetrius “Lil Meech” Flenory Jr., Da’Vinchi, Michole Briana White and Russell Hornsby — who respectively play Big Meech, Terry, and Flenory matriarch and patriarch Lucille and Charles — and executive producer Curtis “50 Cent” Jackson, who had been less active with the network in recent years after several fallouts, was full of pride and commentary about the Starz drama’s current success and future plans.
There’s no denying that Jackson putting his hip hop fame and street cred behind Power, the series essentially about a drug kingpin named Ghost (Omari Hardwick) who wanted to get out the game and become a respectable businessman, changed the premium network’s fortune. Power reportedly increased Starz’s subscribers base by as much as 40 percent.
From that came three successful spinoffs — Power Book II: Ghost; Power Book III: Raising Kanan and Power Book IV: Force.

Kendrick Lamar and Drake traded barbs on Friday, with Drake accusing Lamar of infidelity on “Family Matters” and Kendrick claiming Drake has a secret daughter on “Meet the Grahams.” But the weekend is not over, nor is this beef. On Saturday, Lamar dropped another diss track called “Not Like Us.”
It starts with a whisper, emulating the famous line from The Sixth Sense film, “Psst, I see dead people” — but his venom doesn’t stay quiet for long. “Say Drake, I hear you like ‘em young,” Kendrick raps. “You better...

Veeze has joked that 2022 was his “rap internship” as he prepped his debut LP, Ganger, and spent time around rap stars like Lil Baby, Lil Yachty, and Babyface Ray, observing them and learning rap-star decorum.

Hybe, the label behind Korean supergroup BTS, announced today that its annual sales hit 2.17 trillion won (US$1.6 billion) in 2023, making it the first K-pop agency ever to reach this milestone.
In a conference call, the company said that robust album and concert sales by its major artists contributed to this achievement, including Seventeen, Tomorrow X Together, NewJeans, Enhypen and BTS members as soloists.
Several BTS members are currently undergoing mandatory military service, and the band is temporarily on hiatus. However, it continues to resonate globally, with the likes of Disney+ and Prime Video releasing docs on the band.
Despite their absence, the band’s popularity helped operating profits hit 295.8Bn won, up nearly 25% year-on-year, and a net profit of 186.6Bn won, a whopping 288.5% up on 2022.
Hybe’s annual sales for full-year 2023 are up 22.6% from last year. Album sales were worth $730M, marking a significant increase of 75.8% from 2022. Concert revenue also increased 39.1% to $270M,...

If there’s one defining feature of seemingly every Kanye West album rollout, it’s gotta be chaos. In the past, it was usually good chaos — oh, how we yearn for the days of first-week sales competitions, Good Friday drops, and music videos projected on buildings. But these days, it’s often grim chaos, and the rollout for Vultures 1, West’s new collaborative album with Ty Dolla $ign, has been another exhibition in the form: delays upon delays, sample issues, diatribes of various kinds, and an alternate album cover based...

Rob49 is only 24-years-old, but he’s mastered the art of surprise like a grizzled rap vet. The New Orleans rapper had his “Wassam Baby” single leak months ago, and he made the most of a tenuous situation by officially releasing it with Lil Wayne by his side. The two took turns flirting and asserting their dominance over Macfly Beatz production, making for a fun cross-generational Louisiana link-up. The two connected during a Frankie of Freewater-directed video with clips of cars, women, and choice shots of Rob’s beaming grill.

Last month, Kanye West began teasing his upcoming album, Vultures, the artist’s first release since a string of controversies in which the Grammy-winning musician aligned himself with far-right ideologues and was booted from Twitter (now called X) after declaring that he intended to go “death con 3 On Jewish People.”
Kanye spent much of 2023 out of the public eye, reportedly recording the album in various locations alongside collaborator Ty Dolla $ign. In addition to Ty, Vultures reportedly includes features from Lil Baby, Bad Bunny, Nicki Minaj, James Blake, Kodak Black,...

Ok, let's be honest - did we really expect the MTV VMAs, of all award shows, to deliver the best hip-hop 50 tribute of the year? The "all-star finale performance" MTV touted ahead of the Sept. 12 event included Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, LL Cool J, Dmc (of Run-d.M.C.), Doug E. Fresh, and Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five as performers. The 10-minute tribute intended to honor the culture's entire 50-year history, but with a lineup that shallow (and New York-skewed), is that even possible?
The VMAs aren't alone: it seems every award show's hip-hop 50 tribute has missed the mark this year. The Grammys kicked off the milestone celebration in February with an old school-meets-new-school performance, which featured everyone from Missy Elliott, Busta Rhymes, and De La Soul to Lil Baby, GloRilla, and Lil Uzi Vert. The BET Awards followed suit in June with a "non-stop party" of medley performances from folks like Warren G,...

A male victim was shot late Thursday at a Memphis concert headlined by rapper Lil Baby. Police say it was a premeditated, targeted shooting.
The Memphis Police Department responded to the shooting at the FedExForum arena Thursday night, canceling the concert and evacuating the building.
Lil Baby was rushed off stage once shots were fired.
Clarissa Johnson, a concert attendee, told the news station Wreg-tv, “I heard a pop. I’m not sure what happened but I had a suite, so I told all my crew, ‘Get down.’ So we evacuated. Once we evacuated, did a head count. I’m still not sure what happened.”
According to police, the victim was transported to Regional One Health Medical Center and is no longer in critical condition as of Friday. The shooter has yet to be identified, with police questioning how the shooter was able to bring a gun into the arena.
