This was the total number of taxes owed from his entire income in 2013 and according to TMZ Trey Songz is now a debt free man in the clear after paying the whole thing on October 28^th. He took care of business faster then anyone usually does who is in the music industry so it is pretty impressive and hopefully he doesn’t slip up on them again.

The music festival called Hangout Fest 2016 will be going down on May 20^th – 22^nd at Gulf Shores, AL and will have some big names performing.

A$AP Rocky did a big thing for San Francisco last night bringing out the well known native rapper Lil B to perform during his concert. Everyone at the show turned up when Lil B started performing which is awesome to see that amount of support for an artist who doesn’t seem as big. A$AP and crew all joined in on the stage just having a great time. Check out a clip below.

Kid Cudi is not your average rap artist so you can’t expect him to have average artwork for his albums and his latest sticks to that formula. Cudi’s upcoming album “Speedin’ Bullet 2 Heaven” is coming out on December 4^th and he has just today decided to show off the album artwork which is pretty trippy. The artwork shows Kid Cudi in the wild with his arms open with some crazy blur effect. Hopefully this album is as amazing as his past albums have been but we’ll see soon enough. Until then check out the artwork below.

Nicki Minaj’s ex Safaree Samuals is said to be about to sue her to get a cut of all the profits they off of her first three albums. Samuals also wants money for her singles “Only” and “Flawless” and “Feeling Myself” which were all huge hits so it makes sense. This lawsuit has not been filed yet but he is said to already have lawyers ready to go and he has tons of evidence that he was hugely apart of all of her output which will include voice memos, studio session footage, and eye witness accounts. Keep it right here for updates on this situation.

It was just reported yesterday that both Tyler, The Creator and Hodgy Beats of Odd Future were both taking shots at each other while they did their sets at their annual carnival. In a new post today on Hodgy Beats Instagram he post a video of him and Tyler speaking on the situation saying “Tyler told me to stop being a bitch, so I said alright.” and the two seemed to be back on each others good side which is good news for their fans who saw them grow as artist together.

Hodgy Beats one of the original members of Odd Future along with Tyler, The Creator calls him a fraud. During his show at Camp Flog Gnaw Carnival, Tyler talked about his frustration with people in his circle and now it seems like we know who atleast one of the people is. The words seemed to be aimed at Hodgy Beats who talked poorly of Tyler earlier in the night during his own set. “N*ggas got me fucked up. I put too many n*ggas on. I helped too many of my motherfucking friends out. And n*ggas gonna come foul? And you know who the fuck I’m talking about, n*gga. And yes, it’s getting real. I love you though,” Tyler said to the crowd. Today on twitter Hodgy expressed that he fealt as though Tyler is a fraud and had turned his back on Odd Future. Earl Sweatshirt was not even at the Carnival this year so he could be another person who feels Tyler let him down which is really unfortunate.

Drake is no stranger to magazine covers with the amount of popularity he has obtained since he showed up in the rap game. His latest magazine cover has to be one of the best to him because it is for Toronto Life magazine and everyone knows how much Drake represents his city. Drake is on the December issue of the magazine and is placed at the number one spot at the top of the “Toronto’s 50 Most Influential People” which is really impressive.

Future has been having a crazy year when it comes to music and becoming very popular in that field with tons of projects only aiding his success. 2 Chainz had success like this back in 2012 and 2013 and because of that of course people would like him to comment on Future. During a Rap Radar podcast Chainz was a guest and they asked him to compare his success then to Futures success right now. “It’s that glow. It’s that feeling. It’s literally feeling like God put his hand on you,” he said but he said it can also be a bad thing putting so much work in because while he was doing it he actually missed the birth of one of his children which he is not proud of.
