Lupe Fiasco Rants Onstage

Chicago born rapper Lupe Fiasco exploded in an angry tirade while performing at a WPGC 95.5 Fillmore concert in Maryland. The outspoken rapper ranted about radio and stated that he doesn’t care if the powers-that-be have a problem with it.

“Let me get this sh*t off my chest,” Lupe told the crowd. “We clearly have motherf*ckers talking all that, ‘Man, the streets are so f*cked up. Dudes are shooting at each other. These girls are running around here running reckless and all this other crazy sh*t.’ Then it be them same motherf*ckers that go on they radio stations and play their motherf*cking songs — that sh*t just irks me, I sit back and look at sh*t and be like, ‘D*mn, I can’t even speak on the sh*t no more because it’s so ridiculous because we do it to our f*cking self.’ You know what I’m saying? In the littlest, smallest ways. The smallest, hypocritical ways.”

“It comes to a point where you have to stand up and speak on some sh*t,” Lupe added. “You can hate me for saying that, I know I sound like I’m preaching, but I don’t give a f*ck. … When I say stuff like that and you hear me rant, when I say something, I mean it, from the bottom of my heart because I’m a brave, courageous motherf*cker. If there’s some sh*t wrong in the world, I’m going to speak on it. If you don’t like it, then don’t pay me to do the sh*t then.”

Skilla Baby Teases New Project With “Free Big Meech”

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.

“Wake Up” With Young Franco & Master Peace

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.
