QUAVO’S SOLO DEBUT Migos’ frontman, Quavo, has delivered his debut solo project, Quavo Huncho. In typical Migos’ fashion, the project is loaded with 19 tracks that are over an hour long.

Last Friday, T.I. released his 10th studio album, Dime Trap, a much-anticipated follow-up to his last album, Paperwork, that was released in 2014.

The two have recently exploded on the hip-hop scene, damn near shaking it to the point where everyone has heard of this duo. This is one a lot of people have been waiting for—even comparing them to duos, like Lil […]
It’s 2018, so it shouldn’t be much of a surprise that there are even more dope Queer artists on the R&B and hip-hop music scene than there were six years ago—acceptance issues are becoming a thing of the past. It was back in 2012, when Frank Ocean penned an open letter to his fans to […]
The first trailer for the Elton John biopic, Rocketman, has blasted off. Yes, I think the trailer is impressive, and as a fan of Elton John and his music, I am tremendously excited for the film to be released in May of next year.
