VIDEO: Machine Gun Kelly Drops "Til I Die Part 2!"

Surely, this collaboration of rappers had no issues with accompanying Machine Gun Kelly for this project. 

The black and white visual was nothing short of basic with hailing artists all the way from Memphis, Tennessee to Cleveland, Ohio.

While artist Bone Thugs and Harmony and MGK harmonize over some crazy guitar accents, MGK sets the tone for this informative track. If you didn't know who you were listening to before, now you know!

Southern Rapper, Yo Gotti set fire to the flame at the top of the track, while his Memphis swag accented his ad-libs.  

Of course the new generation had to uphold their title, and Coke Boy, French Montana definitely came through with his cypher scene surrounded by his affiliates.

Second to last, but not least Cleveland Native, Ray Cash held down the fort with his verse, and to close, the infamous MGK came in the clutch with a strong finish. 

I’d say that this is probably one of the biggest Cleveland collaborations in Hip-Hop. 

The Wild Boy, Machine Gun Kelly couldn’t have chosen a better group of artists to put together a masterpiece. 

If anyone knows good hip-hop they will know that it is an automatic hit anytime Bone Thugs, Ray Cash and MGK are on a track together—totally unfair! 

As if their bold lyrics aren’t enough, these artists will take you on a stroll throughout the trenches to show you exactly where they are from—East 1999 that is. 

Check out What All The Hype is About Here.

Three Males In Custody For Chinx Drugz Murder

According to the associated press, three potential suspects have allegedly been taken into custody after a SWAT team home invasion.

According to Instagram's @teamshabbaofficial, he dubbed himself as the alleged murderer. Mstarz.com stated this to be a hoax however! 

Even raging Instagram followers raided French's comments with accusations about an illuminati affiliation with Chinx being the sacrifice. 

While it was just days ago that the Streets of NY and the rap game were hit pretty hard with the news about the up and coming artist, many seek reasoning for his death. 

Officials say, 31-year-old rapper Lionel "Chinx Drugz" Pickens was fatally shot in a drive-by shooting in Queens, New York. The rapper was pronounced dead shortly after at the Jamaica Hospital. 

Artists including French Montana, Meek Mill, P Diddy and many more were left devastated by the news. 

While many sent condolences via social media, not even a precise number of characters could portray the amount of love that the industry and fans had for this artist. 

Chinx's music will live on through various mixtapes including his series of Cocaine Riots, and numerous features. 

The Cokeboy rapper is survived by wife Janelli Pickens and many close friends and family. 

Although this is a tough time for the rap community Meek Mill, Travis Scott, and others decided to pay their respects with a tribute song. 

Take a listen to the heart-felt track here:

P Diddy Confirms Release Date for New Album Titled "MMM"

Sean (P. Diddy) Combs is constantly commended for his impeccable bodies of work.

He is known for his surprises, and has been on pop culture’s radar for years now, but the announcement of his latest album could not be any more astonishing!

An official release date is said to be on June 29, 2015, according to the Bad Boys Instagram. 

The mogul has worked with many big name artists including the late B.I.G, Jay-Z, Mary J. Blige, TLC, and many more, but he is reportedly executive producing Yeezy’s upcoming album Swish, according to www.FDRMX.com.

It's funny how we know "Puff" to have numerous names, but Puff Daddy coincidentally sets the tone for the latest album MMM.

Coke Boy’s own French Montana is said to be the executive producer for this phenomenal album, and a teaser video of the song Big Homie is said to soon aid in the hype of this upcoming project! 

From the sounds of it, Mr. Combs seems to be cooking up some big things in his musical pot, so just be ready to Diddy Bop in the kitchen right along with him!

'The Baddest Bitch' Trina, Set To Release New Album

Across five albums and nearly two decades since, Trina has continued to play the same role for a generation of women. Fans love her contagious confidence, her commitment to emotional honesty, how she can rock a skintight red carpet dress.

With her vocal support of other women, her willingness to switch between vulnerable and powerful, her unspoken pledge to do things on her own terms, she has slated herself as a powerful female figure in hiphop. 

Earlier this week, Trina signed with Penalty Entertainment, home to eMC and others. The Miami rapper is scheduled to release her sixth album later this year, a project featuring the single “The Real One” with Rico Love and released in conjunction with her own Rockstarr Music Group.

This week, Trina dropped two singles from her still-untitled sixth album. The first song is an unlikely Bill Withers-sampling party anthem that features T-Pain and Young Cash. The second, is a rap ballad with a Rico Love hook. On it, Trina laments over failed romances and her habit of consistently choosing the wrong men, with lyrics that will prompt yet more discussions about the very public end of her sort-of relationship with French Montana. Together, though, the two songs suggest that she's willing to try anything to make her next project stick.

Trina herself commented on the news, letting fans know that she is ready to bring things to the next level musically. “This is the beginning of a new direction and stage within my career,” adding, “I am beyond excited to share this phase with the world as I continue to evolve.”

This will be Trina’s first album since 2010’s Amazing, which peaked at Number 13 on the Billboard Top 200 albums chart. Since then, Trina has released a series of mixtapes, some of which have been promoted with the release of singles. 2015 will be a busy year for the rapper, who is also working on starring in a docudrama series.

EXCLUSIVE BACKSTAGE FOOTAGE:: The Lox & French Montana take over "Fools Gold Day Off" in Brooklyn, New York!

Remy Ma, Lil Cease, Chinx, Jadakiss, Styles P, & French Montana.

by: Dana P. (E.I.C.)

On Monday Sept 1st, 2014; my assistant and I attended the "Days Off" outdoor event at 50 Kent, in WIlliamsburg Brooklyn. Two of the "big names" scheduled to perform were The Lox, and French Montana. The lineup was STACKED with underground artists, before the The Lox, French Montana and friends took the stage.

It wasn't until about 8pm that we were actually able to get in through VIP & get our backstage access. Unfortuneatly, we missed most of the artists performances, as well as many surprise appearances from none other then Remy Ma! We also missed Cam'ron & Bobby Shmurda's performances.

We were JUST in time to catch The Lox take the stage! (Note: Styles P agreed to do an interview for us after the show outside the venue, however, all exits were final, so if we left to do the interview, we wouldnt have been able to catch the rest of the show. There's always next time tho!). Styles, Jada, and Sheek took over the 50 Kent stage for nearly an hour. They did a Tupac tribute at the end of their set, then went onto do a Biggie tribute. Junior M.A.F.I.A.'s own Lil Cease was on stage for the Biggie tribute. They gave Cease a HUGE shout out, & brought him up. The crowd was giving their fellow Brooklyn native nothing but love!

French Montana took the stage next, and so did we! Chinx joined French to perform their hit, "Feelings." Bobby Shmurda also came back on stage to join French on his remix of "Hot N***a," and they tore it up for sure! These guys REALLY know how to put on a show. The crowd was SO live & the energy was just TOO real! 

I did get to meet French, but couldn't get a pic. Very nice guy. He was actually next to me for a little bit in between sets, sweating on me! Hahah! Lil Cease was on stage with us for French's set as well, singing alone to all his songs & having an awesome time! I also had an absolutely AMAZING moment on stage, as it was more then an honor to meet a living legend. I had to do a double take for a moment, just to make sure, and it was who I thought it was. Straight from Queens, Mr. Abstract himself, Q-Tip!

I was WAY too pumped to meet this guy right here! And OH how adorable he looked! We tried to get him for an interview, unfortuneatly, he was unable to. 

Overall, amazing show. Great crowd. Super live, crazy energy. An absolute incredible experience. Fools Gold really did an OUTSTANDING job putting this show together.

French Montana & Khloe Kardashian Dish Details Of Their Exciting New Relationship To Power 105.1's Angie Martinez

The first lady of Hip Hop radio has done it again! Angie Martinez is truly "The Voice of New York" as she snagged the most talked about couple beside Kimye for their first joint interview. The Power 105.1 FM host sat down with rising rapper French Montana and his reality star beaut Khloe Kardashian on July 24 and let them dish on everything from their sex life to addressing critics who question the sincerity of their relationship.
After the horrific public breakup with her husband, basketball player Lamar Odom, it seemed to be difficult for Khloe to jump back into the dating game - but it now seems as though she has met her match. French told Angie that Diddy was to blame for their budding relationship as he introduced them during a drunken night in the studio and they've been kicking it ever since.
The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star expressed the love she has for French letting Angie in on the rapper's sense of humor as well as the more sensitive side that fans don't necessarily get to see.

He is probably one of the funniest people I have ever met in my life. In my life. You cannot stop laughing, like crying laughing.People definitely don't see the great parts about him too...but there's also a different side of him which he keeps more private as he should...He can be a softie sometimes.

It has only been less than a month after their red carpet debut as a couple at Khloe's 30th birthday party and their already comfortable enough to dish out their raunchy sex life to the media. Although French observing Ramadan has put a bit of a hinder on their sexual activities, Khloe supports her man's by helping him as he restrains from food, drink, smoking, and sex until after sundown each day during the Muslim holiday.
Of course with such a high-profile relationship comes critics, but Khloe has got a word or two for the haters who pride off of biting off other's happiness.

People are gonna comment no matter what. If I dated the most clean-cut perfect guy, they're gonna comment. That's just the way it is. If I'm having fun and if I like this kid, no one else should care, they're not f--king him, (laughs) or maybe they are, I don't know.

French responded to to his lady's statement with his "haaaaaaaaaaaa" signature and agreed to just let the haters hate while him and Khloe keep busy just doing them.

Jennifer Lopez premieres new single "I luh ya papi" featuring FrenchMontana

If you haven't heard JLo's new song, featuring French Montana, you might be just as disappointed as I am. 

Jennifer Lopez is back to the music. Miss Info reports that Lopez, has recently been in the studio with Robin Thicke, Chris Brown, and Future. Hopefully she has more to offer on her upcoming album titled, "Same Girl," as this song is completely typical and BORING! 

Take a listen, if you must, and see for yourself here. Lopez, it might be time to hang the hat up!
