DJ Khaleds has been on a steep incline ever since he began Snapchatting and now he and his longtime girlfriend are taking a huge step together and have their first child on the way. Khaled is 40 and his girlfriend named Nicole Tuck is 39 and is actually 3 month pregnant. Khaled lives with Tuck but he doesn’t share anything about his relationship ever so many people didn’t know he had a girlfriend. So it will be interesting to see if this baby makes Khaled start involving Tuck in his social media presence.

Kanye West has just had his criminal record wiped clean of the only thing on it which was his battery on a member of the paparazzi. This went down way back in 2013 when he grabbed the man and the man claimed to have injuries from it. This all lead to Kanye having 24 months of probation along with 250 community service hours. Now the judge has said that Ye has completed all tasks he was required to do and has removed the case from his record.

Fans of De La Soul are a little disappointed today because their upcoming album “And the Anonymous Nobody” was set to drop on April 29 but it has now been pushed back. As you may remember this album was on Kickstarter so the fans put all their money together to make this album happen so of course they would be a little upset but the good news is it is still coming this year. The new release date is set to be August 26. But they didn’t leave the fans without anything for the few months they must wait they dropped an EP called “For Your Pain & Suffering” with four fresh tracks on it.

 

SchoolBoy Q’s next album is officially complete and Q made sure to hop on his Snapchat and send a clip to the fans of him and his crew celebrating the completion of his album. That isn’t all though Q later got on Twitter and said that the album can drop at any time. Now with the promise from Top Dawg that the album would be out before Summer we could really get this album in the next couple days or weeks which of course has all the fans hyped up.

Gucci Mane has just dropped a 36 trick album called “Meal Ticket” and he is still locked up in prison until September. This project is huge and it is a culmination of his projects Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert which all make up Meal Ticket. Some features he has on the album are people like Quavo, Rich the Kid, iLoveMakonnen, and Young Scooter. Any fan of Gucci should definitely pick this huge project up to support Gucci who will finally be out of prison in a few months and plans on going on tour right afterwards.

Young Dro has only been in the news lately for negative things like his arrest back in January and he now has an arrest warrant out on him. Dro missed a court date which set this into action and it was some felony theft charges. So Dro has a bench warrant out for him and no bond so hopefully he gets this cleared up and gets back to the music for his fans.

Chance The Rapper was in Miami shooting a new music video and the reason we know of this is because DJ Khaled was there and Snapchatting as usual. So Khaled actually posted a couple videos showing that he was on location with Chance telling the fans to “stay tuned” and the second clip is the two filming a part of the video and you can hear a bit of the song playing which is sounding good.

Though it did seem like Birdman and Lil Wayne were working things out recently that just might not be the case. While at the first stop on Beyonce’s Formation tour Lil Wayne showed up to support along with two well know enemies of Birdman. Those enemies were Rick Ross and Trick Daddy who both have talked badly about the way Birdman handles business. The three even got in a picture together in which Lil Wayne flips the bird at the camera which one could take as him flipping off Birdman since he is standing between two of his enemies. But this is all speculation so keep it right here for any further updates on Wayne and Birdman.

Chicago rapper, Mick Jenkins has been putting out great music for quite some time but now he is about to take things to another level. Taking to his Instagram Mick Jenkins surprised his fans and posted “I’m done.[wit the album].” This is really exciting news because Mick is a true artist and is lyrical and makes a lot of meaningful tracks that are in tune with current events. The album is said to be called “[T]he [H]ealing [C]omponent” but there is no release date yet so until then make sure to check out his past projects The Water[s] and Wave[s].

Taking to Twitter today Drake shared the long awaited tracklist for his upcoming album “Views From The 6”. The track is indeed made up of 20 tracks which usually means there is going to be a little something for everyone one this album. The thing that really grabs your attention is the fact Drake decided not to share if there are any features on the album but it is unlike him to not have features so he must just want to keep them a secret.

Birdman was getting roasted on social media the last week because of his notorious 2-minute long Breakfast Club interview that went all wrong. Now Birdman has taken all his saying that social media has been making fun of and put them on t-shirts that are now on sale. Some of the saying are “Put Some Respek On My Name”, and “I Ain’t Gonna Say It No Mo”. Now this is a really smart move on Birdmans part because the internet can’t clown him if he is clowning himself.

 

As usual Azealia Banks is going hard on someone over Twitter and this time it is a Beyonce. Banks starts off saying that Beyonce was telling black women to bow down a few months back in her music but now shes making pro black music. Azealia feels like Beyonce isn’t genuine when she makes this music eventually tweeting “she’s not a “sister” she’s a poacher. She’s a thief. Sisters don’t steal, sisters share.” Banks ends calling Beyonce a “lightblack women” and saying she does nothing for darker women like herself. Beyonce will most likely not respond to any of this but keep it locked right here just in case.

The Game almost had the feature of a lifetime with Prince and he talked about it with TMZ when they caught up with him recently. “I wanted him to get on a song and he was down to do the song, so we met at Doug Morris’ office at Universal a few years back.” Game said but things took a turn pretty quickly. “He heard the song and there was one curse word in it and he was like, ‘I can’t get on that, it’s got a curse word in it.” Game felt it was important to keep his lyrics how they were though so the collaboration never happened sadly but it sure would have been nice.
