After a slew of features, the rising star from Alabama is delivering his first solo release of the year. There are certainly a lot of rappers that are emerging in the Alabama scene. However, you could argue that Rylo Rodriguez is the next man up. The Glass Window Entertaiment (Lil Baby) signee does have a fairly limited catalog for someone who's been around since 2018. However, these last couple years have shown he's really coming into his own as an artist. He draws some inspiration from current and fellow Southern hip-hop legends like Future. You can definitely hear the influence on the latest Rylo Rodriguez single "85 Cutlass".

"Streets Calling My Name" is coming soon. Lil Zay Osama has gone through a lot of big changes this year, and it looks like they have him feeling nostalgic. Back in May, the Chicago-born rapper pleaded guilty to possessing a machine gun in his federal case. The case had been in limbo since 2022 and stemmed from a firearm forgotten in an Uber. At the time, it was reported that he could be spending some serious time behind bars, though he appears to be at home for the time being.

According to Hurricane Chris, the $500K 50 Cent dropped on security could have been better spent elsewhere. Earlier this month, 50 Cent hosted Humor & Harmony Weekend in Shreveport, but not everyone was pleased with the lineup. He got called out by Luenell last week, who criticized him for not including any female comedians. Fif fired back yesterday, claiming that if she hadn't been booked and busy, he would have been interested in including her. Now, Hurricane Chris has weighed in, putting 50 Cent on blast for not highlighting more local artists.

The power couple hit up the New York City nightlife after Fanatics Fest on Friday, fitting Jay-Z's recent announcement that he'll relaunch 40/40. Jay-Z and Beyonce chose to hit up the New York City nightlife scene after Fanatics Fest on Friday (August 16). Moreover, this is a pretty fitting outing for them, considering that the former announced the relaunch of his iconic 40/40 Club sometime in 2025, if all goes according to plan. Hov also recreated the sports bar at Fanatics Fest over the weekend. As such, it's no wonder the power couple wants to see what else is up in the Big Apple for a night out. Apparently, Travis Scott was also at ZZ's Club along with Bey and Jay, and left the Hudson Yards members club a little before they did.

[Note: Unless otherwise indicated, the commentary and quotes in this article are from the author's interview with those mentioned.]. Elizabeth Montgomery was one of the most popular actors from the 1950s to her unfortunate passing from cancer in 1995. Before, during, and after her benchmark Emmy-nominated role as twitch-witch Samantha Stephens on TV's Bewitched (ABC, 1964-1972), Montgomery made over 200 additional appearances in other weekly shows, TV-movies, and feature films.

Hollywood child stardom has taken its toll on many actors through the decades. Lani O'Grady, for one, found fame in the 1970s on the TV family series, Eight is Enough. O'Grady followed in the footsteps of her brother, actor Don Grady, an original Mouseketeer and member of another popular TV family show: My Three Sons. Their mother, Mary B. Grady, was a talent agent who represented several child actors. But Lani, who would also eventually become an agent, died in 2001 just one week before what would have been her 47th birthday.

Chance the Rapper and Joey Purp have a solid bank of collab tracks behind them, including “Girls @” and “My Own Thing.” The duo has linked back up once again in the studio – as well as the streets and seas of Chicago on the S.S. Star Line – to drop off “Bad Boys 2,” a nod to Will Smith and Martin Lawrence‘s Bad Boys film franchise.

While the success of Latto's new album isn't solely measured by commercial performance, many fans hoped for a bigger splash. Latto's new album Sugar Honey Iced Tea has been a big hit for fans, but they are a bit disappointed with the wider music-consuming landscape for not showing the same love. Moreover, the project's official first week sales numbers are here courtesy of HITS Daily Double and Chart Data, pointing to a No. 14 debut on the Billboard 200 chart with 29K in album-equivalent units sold. Some of the Atlanta femcee's rival fanbases already clowned this debut, but it's not far off from what many other rap creatives are selling these days. As such, it's important to note that this is part of a wider conversation around rap's commercial status, not a sole attack or ridicule concerning a specific artist.

You know just about what the deal is with Russ at this point. The man is on a mission to give his fans heat every week for well over a decade now. It's why Russ naming his newest release "BREAK!", is quite ironic. All the New Jersey native does is the complete opposite of what the song title says. You can almost always count on him to have some sort of material at the ready. That is partially thanks to his clever and engaging fan polls. He gives his listeners a handful of snippets that he's teased and based on which receives the most votes, he will release it soon after.

Other fans were quick to point out that La La Anthony was there to accompany 11-year-old North West, so this might be an overreaction. North West is fresh off yet another feature thanks to VULTURES 2, and wants to hang out with celebrities just as much as her father Ye does. However, this resulted in some controversy when she linked up with popular streamer Tylil for some social media content. Moreover, many fans thought that this was an inappropriate meeting, or were instead concerned with the 11-year-old not hanging out with people that are her age. Still, other social media users pointed out that, not only was La La Anthony there to accompany her, but that North's security team is probably more than enough to prevent any dangers.
