Oxnard, California veteran Wildchild hitting us with his 5th album. A member of the Lootpack alongside DJ Romes & one of my top 10 producers of all-time Madlib, his first couple solo efforts Secondary Protocol & Jack of All Trades under Stones Throw Records & Fat Beats Records respectively, although T.G.I.F. (Thank God It’s Funky) & Omowale would be received more moderately in comparison. Regardless, I still went into Child of a Kingsman hoping for it to be his best since Jack of All Trades. “A Kingsman’s Flowers” begins by take everyone on a trip down memory lane in order to explain the definition of a kingsman whereas “Season of Kingsmen” produced by Nottz talks about preserving hip hop since he…
Charley Crockett fiercely defended Beyoncé and her genre-bending album Cowboy Carter, calling out the country music world for what he sees as years of hypocrisy and selective outrage. In a pointed Instagram post earlier this week, the Texas-born singer addressed the backlash Beyoncé has faced from parts of the country music community. “Hey country folks,” he began. “Beyoncé ain’t the source of your discontent. It was 25 years of bro country.” Crockett, who has built his career blending traditional country with blues and soul, didn’t name names directly but appeared to take a swipe at Morgan Wallen, one of the…
New York veteran Ghostface Killah of the almighty Wu-Tang Clan with his 17th solo LP. One of hip hop’s most prolific storytellers & easily the most consistent member of the Clan exemplified by Ironman, Supreme Clientele, FishScale, Apollo Kids, 12 Reasons to Die & Sour Soul just to name a few. Ghostface Killahs in the fall of 2019 stands as one of the only few duds in his discography along with More Fish & the Mass Appeal Records debut Set the Tone (Guns & Roses), continuing the Legend Has It series with Supreme Clientele 2 finally seeing the light of day. After the Redman intro, the first song “Iron Man” opens with a boom bap instrumental talking about having Wall Street bugging…
Joy Reid is opening up about what she describes as pay inequality during her career, revealing that during her time at MSNBC, she earned far less than colleagues doing the same job. Speaking earlier this month at the Martha’s Vineyard African American Film Festival’s C-Suite Soirée, the 56-year-old journalist told the audience she was paid “a tenth” of what others at the network, now known as MS NOW, received. “The curse of competency means you’re the best person at what you do,” Reid said during her conversation with Jotaka Eaddy, founder of Full Circle Strategies, as reported by PEOPLE. “You know…
Hernandez Govan walked out of a Memphis courtroom Thursday (August 21), cleared of all charges in the Young Dolph murder trial and declared he’s done with the city that, in his words, nearly broke him. Acquitted of first-degree murder and conspiracy in the 2021 ambush that left the rapper dead inside a cookie shop, Govan didn’t celebrate. Instead, he spoke of grief, regret and a desperate need for a new beginning—especially after losing his daughter, rising rapper Lotta Cash Desto, in a fatal shooting just weeks before he was indicted. “Leave Memphis,” Govan told reporters outside the courthouse when asked…
Ghostface Killah’s reputation as one of the most consistent and imaginative MCs in Hip Hop was cemented decades ago, with his classic solo debut Ironman in 1996 and the masterpiece Supreme Clientele in 2000. Across other standout efforts like Fishscale (2006) and Twelve Reasons to Die (2013), and countless guest appearances, he has built a catalog more respected than perhaps any other Wu-Tang member. Since the underappreciated 36 Seasons in 2014, Ghostface’s output has slowed, and the few projects he’s released since then on the way to 2025 have lacked the spark and consistency that once defined his work. His most…

Offset laid bare the collapse of his marriage to Cardi B on the final track of his new album KIARI, using “Move On” to deliver a blunt farewell and emotional reckoning over their split. “I’m tryna move on in peace,” he sings on the song’s opening line, later adding, “Happy for you, why you ain’t happy for me?” The track, which closes out the 18-song project released Friday (August 22), serves as a lyrical sendoff to a relationship that spanned nearly a decade and weathered multiple public breakups.
