The Hip-Hop mogul-turned-aspiring educator is scheduled to teach at six venues next month, including correctional facilities, libraries, and cultural centers, as part of a reentry program for formerly incarcerated individuals. The catch? He’s still locked up at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn and won’t know his fate until his sentencing on October 3. Diddy created the curriculum through RE Entry One Inc., a nonprofit based in Miami that focuses on reducing repeat…
Killer Mike tends to bless us with wisdom. Usually. He recently sat down with Shannon Sharpe on Club Shay Shay and gave a deeper perspective on why the truce between Young Thug and YFN Lucci carries weight far beyond rap beef. For Mike, the end of their feud touches on economics, politics, and the overall health of Atlanta’s culture. The Grammy winner, known just as much for his activism as his music, stressed that street violence does more than endanger lives—it hurts the business of an entire city. “Violence is not good for money,” he said, pointing out that Atlanta’s economy depends…
