A new DMX album titled Let Us Pray: Chapter X is on the way and has an official release date.

This album will be a little different as it won’t feature rapping but instead his trademark prayers. It will present the spiritual side of the late four-time GRAMMY® Award-nominated multiplatinum hip-hop legend. 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].

Campbell crafted new original music to accompany the signature prayers of DMX and instrumentally scored the spoken-word messages. It also boasts contributions artists including Snoop Dogg, Mary Mary, Killer Mike, MC Lyte, LeCrae, Terrace Martin, Lena Byrd Miles, and RoyzNoyz Orchestra. 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.”

The first single ‘Favor’ can be heard here. Check out the tracklisting below.

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.

ASAP Rocky has talked about his so called beef with Drake in a new interview with Billboard.

Since Drake appeared to disparage Rihanna on the For All the Dogs song “Fear of Heights” last November, Drake and A$AP Rocky have been exchanging barbs. Rocky seemed to taken shots at Drizzy in January when he performed the Kid Cudi song “Wow.” A$AP Rocky retaliated once more in April on the Future and Metro Boom song “Show of Hands.”

In the Billboard story, Rocky says he’s got bigger things to worry than problems with Drake.

“You got to realize, certain n***as was throwing shots for years,” A$AP Rocky said. “I ain’t in the middle of that s**t. That’s not how I retaliate right now. I got bigger fish to fry than some p***y boys. It is real beef outside. It is real. N***as getting really clipped and blitzed every day. N***as sniping n***as every day. That little kitty s**t ain’t about nothing.”

“Call up Pluto, Metro, should’ve put me on the first one/Ni**as swear they b***h the baddest, I just bagged the worst one,” Rocky raps. “Ni**as in they feelings over women, what, you hurt or somethin’?/I smash before you birthed, son, Flacko hit it first, son/Still don’ trust you, it’s always us, never them/Heard you dropped your latest sh*t/Funny how it just came and went (Ha-ha-ha).”

On ‘Family Matters’, Drake rapped: “Rakim talkin’ s**t again/Gassed ’cause you hit my BM first/Ni**a do the math, who I was hitting then,” Drake spits. “I ain’t even know you rap still ’cause they only talking ’bout your fit again/Probably gotta have a kid again before you think of dropping any sh*t again/Even when you do drop they gon’ say you should model cause it’s mid again/Smoking Fenty ’bout they shoulda put you on the first one you tryna get it in/Ask Fring if this a good idea next time you cuddled in the bed again/She’ll even tell ya leave the boy alone before ya get your head split again.”

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign released their latest album VULTURES 2 last week to a mixed reaction.

Sample clearances, streaming removals, and the rumor that Kanye West employed artificial intelligence (AI) to finish some his lyrics — the album has been a moot point ever since its release. Kanye and Ty’s joint album was projected to sell 83K units in its first week initially but the final numbers are a bit better.

The album has debuted at #2 on the Billboard 200 chart with 107k copies in the first week — about 60k out of that coming from pure sales.

Kanye’s first week numbers are certainly on the decline. Jesus Is King and DONDA sold 264K and 309K first week, respectively while VULTURES did 148K units in the first week.

Big Sean has pushed back the release of his new album Better Me Than You.

The Detroit rapper’s new album was originally planned to release this Friday, August 9th as he announced last month but looks like we’d have to wait a bit more.

A fan asked Sean why he referred to release of the album being “soon” rather than mention the exact date of this Friday, in his latest Instagram post. “Why u saying album soon like it’s not suppose to drop on the 9th?” In response, Big Sean wrote back, “I gotta push it back just a lil bit. Music done but jus organizing listening events, shows, etc. Might need a extra week or 2 to plan.”

Sean has not revealed the new date but it’s definitely not arriving on the 9th. He recently shared a new song called ‘On Up‘ along with a music video shot with his family.

Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign have announced the release date for their new album Vultures 2.

Ye’s website yeezy.com website updated with an announcement on Wednesday about the anticipated album, which has been being teased for months now. The homepage is a blank white screen with a countdown in the top left corner. Under the countdown is the message: “ALL ORDERS FULFILLED. VULTURES 2 COMING AUGUST 2ND.”

The main question is whether the album will actually drop on that day. Ye and Ty Dolla $ign first announced the release date back in January, saying that Vultures 2 would drop on March 8 and would serve as the second of three volumes of the album. Of course, that date came and went without the album dropping.

All we can do is wait and watch. Fingers crossed.

Killer Mike had been hinting that he is planning to release a new album soon.

Today, he makes the official announcement that his 10 song project titled Songs For Sinners & Saints is coming as soon as this Friday, August 2nd. This comes following his super successful 2023 with the album MICHAEL for which he won several GRAMMY awards, and the latest single ‘Humble Me‘ that came out earlier this month.

“I had a year to live with MICHAEL,” he states, “and I realized I had more I wanted to do with this sound before moving on.”

Michael & The Mighty Midnight Revival: Songs For Sinners & Saints is a ten song collection that serves as an epilogue to the MICHAEL era. Mike states “for me this is a testimonial. When I was growing up an important part of church service was people having the opportunity to stand up and give public testimony on their trials, tribulations, and triumphs. After the celebratory atmosphere that followed MICHAEL I was reminded that tribulations never cease, but God is always with me and this is a testimonial of my tumultuous times, my trials, and my continued triumph in spite of doubt, outright hate, and fear. I am here to speak to and with my fellow sinners and Saints.”

Mike will be celebrating the release with an official Sinners & Saints Live Stream from the last show of his ongoing residency at Blue Note Jazz Club in NYC at 10:30pm EST on Wednesday, July 31 with a special guest appearance by EL-P.

GORDO (FKA Carnage), the Grammy nominated producer and DJ announced his new album Diamante last week.

Today, he has unveiled the official tracklist for the project which comes out this Friday. The biggest highlight is of course the Drake feature on it, called ‘Sideways’. DIAMANTE is his most heartfelt project yet, dedicated to GORDO’s family, friends, and loved ones, inviting fans along his personal journey to freedom as “he reconnects with his Nicaraguan-American roots.”

GORDO produced six tracks on Drake’s house music-infused album Honestly, Nevermind and two on the Canadian artist’s For All The Dogs album, including ‘Rich Baby Daddy’. “We’ve been friends for years but had never actually properly collaborated on music before ‘Honestly, Nevermind.’ To have him on my debut album speaks volumes about what people can expect on it,” says GORDO about his first official collaboration with Drake.

Apart from Drake, Fuerza Regida, T-Pain, Maluma, Nicki Nicole, Feid, Leon Bridges and more will also appear on the album which can be pre-saved here.
