New trailers for TV One’s original film “Girlfriend’s Getaway” and STARZ’s “Surivivor’s Remorse” have been released. Also, LIFETIME’s “BAPS” gets cancelled early. Get familiar with the new show, film and the deets on why “BAPS” got the axe inside….

There’s a new film coming to TV One. And it’s starring some of our favorite YBF actresses. Garcelle Beauvais, a pregnant Terri J. Vaughn (she’s pregnant in the film), Essence Atkins and Malinda Williams are starring in a two-hour original movie titled, Girlfriends’ Getaway, which is set to premiere Saturday, August 30th at 8PM/ET on TV One.

The fab actresses shot the entire film in Trinidad, telling a story of an innocent birthday getaway taken by four longtime friends. And it all turns into a life changing adventure. Garcelle Beauvais stars as ‘Vicki Holmes’, with co-stars Terri J. Vaughn as Sophie, Malinda Williams as Camille and Essence Atkins playing Lauren.

In a press release about the film:

Vicky Holmes (Beauvais), a sophisticated, successful business owner is outwardly hitting a stride in love and life. However, just days before a romantic birthday trip, she is blindsided by her boyfriend’s decision to relocate and end their relationship. Vicky ultimately decides to bring her best girlfriends – who are all facing turning points in their lives – with her for a grown girls getaway in Trinidad. After their first wild night, an innocent mistake sets blaze to a chain of events that would forever change each of their lives. When the very pregnant Sophie (Vaughn) is kidnapped and held for $10,000 ransom, the remaining girls have 24-hours to ban together in order to get Sophie back safely or end up in jail.

We’re here for it. Check the trailer below:

And below is a pic of the ladies on the set of a promo shoot for their new film:

Terri, who’s expecting another bundle of joy soon, captioned the shot, “Join us for a night of GLAM, GIRLFRIENDS and the ultimate GETAWAY!!! Sat, Aug 30 @ 8p on @tvonetv! Tune into the premiere of #GirlfriendsGetaway!!! @garcelle @essencesays @malinsworld #getyourgirlfriends #glamitup #getaway”

While we patiently await the return of 50 Cent’s “Power” series, a new scripted comedy series, executved produced by LeBron James, is coming this October to the same network, Starz. And a new trailer, along with the new poster art (above), has just been released.

“Survivor’s Remorse” is based in Altanta and it follows Cam Calloway, a basketball phenom in his early 20’s who is suddenly thrust into the limelight after signing a multi-million dollar contract with a professional basketball team.

The cast includea: “Level Up” actor Jessie T. Usher will play the lead role of Cam Calloway. Cutie Ronreaco Lee (“Let’s Stay Together”) has been casted as Cam’s cousin and confidant, Reggie Vaughn. “The Real Husbands of Hollywood” actress (starring as Kevin Hart’s ex-wife) Erica Ash will star as Cam’s sister, M-Chuck. YBF fave Tichina Arnold will play Cam’s mother, Cassie. And “Mad Men” star Teyonah Parris will play Reggie’s wife, Missy.

Peep the new trailer:

The show will premiere on Saturday, October 4th at 9pm/ET on STARZ.

And a new show that has already gotten the axe….

LIFETIME’s “BAPS” series has been cancelled early! The St. Louis-based reality show was pulled today after only four episodes, even though it was scheduled to run for six episodes. Premiering this past July, “BAPS” followed an exclusive, privileged and affluent group of African-American friends from St. Louis who are self-proclaimed Black American Princesses and Princes.

According to STLToday, each cast member was sent an email from Asylum Entertainment informing them that the show was over.

The email read,

“I wanted to let you know that Lifetime informed us that they will not be airing the last 2 episodes of BAPS. We’re very sorry it panned out this way. It’s very difficult to build an audience for an ensemble show like this one, but we’re very proud of the show and happy to have had the experience working with you.”

The show saw less than stellar ratings ranging in the 500,000-600,000 viewership range. It also received a lot of negative backlash on social media, so LIFETIME execs decided to pull the plug early on the show.

Will it be missed? We doubt it….

Save the date because April 26 comes the latest project The Coldest. Skilla Baby is poised for the announcement by unveiling a brand new single Free Big Meech. Produced by MIA JayC and Lee Choppn, this single hinges on tense synths and punchy 808s, while Skilla Baby unleashes a vital verbal flurry. Paving a lane to the forefront of the game at high-speed, rising Detroit rapper spoke on the project:

I took my time to put this project together… Sometimes, I feel like people try to place me in a box. The pressure of being a new artist, being successful, staying disciplined, and still clocking into the studio is very strenuous. But fun at the same time. As an artist, I’m known as the “Girl’s guy”. But I’ll never forget I come from the streets. As a real person, I feel so many emotions (mad, sad, happy, anxious, etc.). I say that to say, sorry for the wait but I wanted to put everything I feel into one project. Grab your coats…

Next up, the Vultures Eat The Most Tour takes him across the country on his most extensive jaunt yet. He also joins forces with New Orleans heavy-hitter Rob49 to co-headline the tour with tickets available here. This year is gearing up to be the coldest yet so pre-order your copy of the project here. Stream the official audio below and connect with Skilla Baby 0n Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube.

It’s harder to wake up when you have mundane ish to do. Unveiling a brand new music video, Young France recruits UK Indie sensation Master Peace for huge new track Wake Up. Life becomes easier when you’re on the path to becoming a rockstar. The music video, shot in the UK, follows Young Franco and Master Peace individually, through a first-person lens as they undertake “mundane” daily activities until they then meet and begin to enjoy the iconic streets and taxis of London together. Franco spoke on the track:

Working with Master Peace has been an amazing experience. I found out about his project via his record “Eyes on You” and have wanted to work with him since that moment. I was writing a bunch of tracks in 2020. One of them being an early version of Wake Up, which I wrote with Elliot from Delta Riggs. I connected with Master Peace online and once I got to London last year, we smashed this in a couple of hours. His new record is fantastic and I’m super excited how this one turned out. Special mention to Danio from Husky Loops for some added production too.

Young Franco has started 2024 off with a bang, where he teamed up with UK rapper S1mba for the release of the funk laid hip hop track HITA. Wake Up follows a busy year of touring already, where he has done a sold out run of Europe with a string of sold-out shows in the USA. Young Franco has accumulated over 200 million streams and plans to continue to put Astralwerks Records on the map. Stream your copy of the single here and watch the dreamlike visual below.
