TDE announced their 11th annual Christmas concert, toy drive, and community giveback last month without revealing in full who all will appear/perform other than hinting at some names.

Today, the Compton based label has revealed the full lineup. SZA, ScHoolboy Q, Jay Rock, Doechii, Isaiah Rashad, SiR, Ab-Soul, Ray Vaughn, Zacari and Kal Banx are all set to perform but in addition to the above, none other than Kendrick Lamar will be taking the stage.

The two-day event presented by TDE’s charity Top Dawg Love the Kids, has become a holiday tradition for Nickerson Garden residents in the Watts neighborhood and surrounding LA communities.

On Dec. 12, there will be a concert and toy drive and then, on Friday, Dec. 13, family friendly activities, a raffle with gift giveaways, and a job fair that offers employment on site, and are aligned with creating reentry pathways for ex-offenders. Free haircuts and family holiday photos will also be given away. To get into the concert, fans have to bring unwrapped toys, new clothes/shoes, or other donations.

Gates open for the concert on Dec. 12 at 11:00 a.m. PST and Community Giveback on Dec. 13 will be from 12:00 p.m. – 5:00 p.m. PST. Both will be located at 11251 Compton Ave. Los Angeles, C.A. 90059.

It looks like the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef has gone to a level where there is now tension between Boi-1da and Mustard.

Unless you’re living under a rock, you would know that Boi-1da is a friend of Drake’s and supplier of some of his biggest hits, while Mustard produced the scathing diss and smash hit ‘Not Like Us’ by Kendrick Lamar. The two have had a good relationship so far from whatever was seen online but it looks like it’s gone sour in the wake of Drake-Kendrick tension.

Mustard made public some private DMs exchanged between them where 1da says “West Coast rap is ass.”

“Say it ain’t so man,” Mustard wrote in a story directed at Boi-1da before sharing a screenshots of the DMs.

“Nobody outside LA wanna hear that s***” said 1da and Mustard made light of the moment it seems was hit back with a laughing emoji. “@boi1da I thought you was a real one i ain’t kno you felt this way,” he captioned this exchange in another IG Story post. “I thought you was real one i ain’t kno you felt this way,” Mustard continued. 1da had previously congratulated him on the success of ‘Not Like Us’

He concluded with one more IG Story, writing, “and that’s the end of my ted talk. Lame a** n****.”

Boi-1da hasn’t responded or reacted to the stories online yet but we will update here if and when he does.

The Billboard Hot 100 for this week has finally been updated and as expected, Kendrick Lamar sees big success after the release of GNX.

Kendrick occupies the entire top 5 of the charts, and in total, 7 out of the 10 places. ‘squabble up’ debuted at #1, ‘tv off’ at #2, ‘luther’ at #3, ‘wacced out murals’ at #4 and ‘hey now’ at #5. ‘reincarnated’ and ‘man at the garden’ debuted at #8 and #9 respectively.

With this incredible achievement comes a few different milestones. Kendrick has now become the first Hip-Hop artist to have three songs debut at #1 in any calendar year in the chart’s history, with the other 2 of course being ‘Like That‘ and ‘Not Like Us‘. He’s also one of only 4 artists to have 7 songs chart simultaneously in the top 10, Drake being one of the others.

DMX’s prayers will be accompanied by original music from multi-GRAMMY® Award-winning hip-hop, R&B, and gospel songwriter and producer Warryn Campbell [Kanye West, Alicia Keys, Brandy, Yolanda Adams].

It will hit online and stores on December 13th via Def Jam.

Campbell commented on the project, “Working on Let Us Pray: Chapter X has been one of the most fulfilling experiences for me as a creative. When you hear the voice of DMX, it inspires instant creativity and what better way to showcase who X really was than through prayer. I believe I can speak for MC Lyte, Killer Mike, Snoop Dogg, LeCrae, Mary Mary, Lena Byrd Miles, and Terrace Martin when I say it was an honor and privilege to be part of this amazing work.”

Lil Durk has been reportedly arrested on ‘murder for hire’ charges.

Earlier on Thursday, reports came in that five people in Chicago were hit with federal charges in California alleging they were contracted to kill rapper Quando Rando in Los Angeles, due to his suspected involvement in the 2020 slaying of rival artist King Von.

Kavon London Grant; Deandre Dontrell Wilson; Keith Jones; David Brian Lindsey; and Asa Houston were those who were charged in the indictment, which was unsealed Thursday in U.S. District Court in Los Angeles. The charges include conspiracy to commit murder-for-hire, committing murder-for-hire involving a death, and use of a machine gun in a violent crime resulting in death. The most serious charge carries up to the death penalty if convicted.

The indictment alleged that after King Von’s slaying in 2020 in Atlanta, an unnamed co-conspirator who is part of Lil Durk’s OTF crew offered money and “lucrative music opportunities” to anyone who would kill Quando Rondo, a Georgia-based rapper whose real name is Tyquian Terrel Bowman.

Now it looks like Durk himself has been arrested as well as we can see clearly from the screenshot from the official website showing Boward County records, as well as the rapper’s mug shot.

This story is being updated.
