RIP Pop Smoke, made it out of the hood , was the connecting link between UK Drill and NY Hip Hop , was making a name for himself , but somebody had to hate. Smh
Really man, watch who you have around you. Watch what new friends you make, watch who you give your address to, who you let hold your keys. Protect yourselves , don’t discuss you finances with people. The game is really cold and hateful. This is sad
Producers bust their asses in the studio, fucking up relationships at home, losing sleep, only for artist and labels to take these songs and give them no credit.
Drew Brees couldn't even directly say he understood why Colin protested injustice nor that he understood the anger of many black americans. He just talked about what the flag means to him.
But he posted a black box on instagram like he did somethin. That's the issue.
I wish people still dropped album booklets with their Projects. Digital release has taken over , but these streaming platforms need another button where you can view static visuals and photos to go along with the album or song streams.
Robert Pattinson says he’s been ignoring his ‘Batman’ trainer who asked him to keep working out during quarantine: “I think if [actors] work out all the time, they’re part of the problem. They set a precedent. No one was doing this in the ’70s. James Dean wasn’t exactly ripped.”
For all you quirky , creative people sitting in your rooms coming up with all of your concepts and ideas , just know there is space for you. Just don’t stay in that room forever. Leave the nest, come out into their world and share your vision.

Trust me, these companies don’t know shit. I’ve been in meetings. All they say is “send us a deck” they have no ideas themselves. They just hire their friends who don’t know shit either.
How the fuck can’t Police handle some Trump supporters , but will bust 30 caps in a black body for taking a starburst out of their pocket? Make that make sense
My painting “The New Jim Crow” is now a billboard in LA on Normandie & Fountain Ave. This painting discusses my short incarceration in the LA County Jail System for a crime I didn’t commit. Shit left deep trauma , like I wanted to rip my arm off to get rid of the handcuffs
Snapchat has featured two of my works in its curated Augmented Reality art show.
In celebration of Black History Month, Snapchat launched an immersive lens on today that lets users explore a virtual art gallery filled with the work of black millennial artists.
People think they know you, but they’ll never truly know you. If they did, they would understand that you’ll change. You’ll never be that person you were when they first met you. Let’s just hope you’re evolving for the better.
I don’t care what none of y’all say, y’all be mad when a Woman is right and call y’all niggas out. Y’all dick ride harder on men than your own girlfriends and sisters and mothers. If we are going to keep it a buck.
These vogue covers , I ain’t mad at y’all but remember it’s fuck Vogue because ( no real representation ) for our people. So as you are manisfesting that seat at the table remember it never really was there to begin with. It’s a battle but let’s make our own platforms

People can be out here telling u they love your energy and how amazing of a person you are and still ghost u. So don’t let people gas you with words, let them show u with actions what they really think of u. Fuck all that “energy and vibe” talk.
Black music producers , you are black tech too. Start thinking that way. All these companies should pay you to use their technology and collaborate. Niggas is going platinum off of shit they made in a closet.
If you are an artist and you follow me, I am putting together an artist call to get your art on billboards. But some of you have yet to sign up. If this is your first time hearing about it reply here and I’ll drop the link personally
My partna really in the pen designing and making his own clothes out of the uniforms they gave him with a paper clip and dental floss! I can’t wait to see what you do when you come home 🤞🏾
