ESSKEETIT!!! Rapper Lil Pump has reportedly been chosen to be the speaker at this years commencement at Harvard University.
According to XXL and Lil Pump’s IG story, he will be giving the speech at the end of Harvard’s school year. If the reports are true, Lil Pump will be the youngest person ever to give the commencement speech. There is a good chance this is just a rumor because The Harvard Crimson reported earlier this year that German Chancellor Angela Merkel will be the speaker at this years event. Harvard does have two separate speeches on separate days, so there is still a chance that these reports are true. What a dynamic duo Angela Merkel and Lil Pump will make at the ceremony this year. Potential collab in the works?

Pete from QC is changing gears and reaching outside the norm to add new talent to his already impressive roster of artists. Qc adds Youtube singer Layton Greene too lead the R&B side the label was lacking. Layton Greene is a 20-year-old female from St.Louis Missouri that blew up from her cover of Kodak Black “Roll in Peace,” track that received over 26 million views on Youtube back in December of 2017.

She only released a hand full of tracks after that with her most recent track “Myself” gaining over 9 million views on Youtube. She also did a cover of Derez De’Shon “Fed Up” that she called “Fed Up Remix” which gained 18 million views.

Not much else is known about her, but with QC now backing her it’s only a matter of time before the whole world knows her story. Pete is really putting QC in the conversation for the best record label and 2019 might be solidify it.
Last week, Chance the Rapper took to Twitter to announce that his next album will be coming in July. Chance is off the heels of the successful album “Coloring Book” and has had a collection of singles drop along the way.
The “Acid Rapper” also posted on his IG and talked about how
well his personal life is going outside of music before teasing the July drop
date at the end of the video. Chance dropped his last batch on songs back in
November featuring the tracks “The Man Who Has Everything” and “My Own Thing”
featuring Joey Purp. There is no word on when the first single for this new
project is set to drop, but on his twitter account, Chance has March 17th
marked next to his name, so keep an eye out for new music.

During the Super Bowl, Chance made an appearance during a Doritos advertisement where he and The Backstreet Boys performed a remix of the boy band classic “I Want It That Way.” That may not be the music that the public has been waiting on, but it’s always nice to see Chance out here making new stuff. There is no word on when the first single for this new project is set to drop, but on his Twitter account, Chance has March 17 marked next to his name, so keep an eye out for new music.

Offset dropped news on his Twitter earlier today that his forthcoming album will be produced entirely by Metro Boomin and Southside. No details were released regarding the name or how many tracks will appear on the album, but we know for sure the production will be fire.
Offset made waves earlier in the week when he dropped a video teasing his new album that feature actual video during the birth of his daughter Kulture. In the video you can see Cardi B going into labor with Offset looking on in support. The pair also appeared at the Grammy’s on Sunday when Cardi B won the award for Best Rap Album.

The album is set to drop on Friday and Offset is looking to
create his own solo success. Quavo has paved his own way as a solo act outside
of the Migos with two separate projects that were massive hits. Offset has
brought on two of the hottest producers to make this album a winner and we can
only hope that we can get a classic out of this.
Are we for or against this new Offset album? Leave a comment below or talk about it on Twitter and Instagram.
Bernie Sanders announced Tuesday morning that he is running for President in the upcoming 2020 election. Sanders was the runner up to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton in 2016 who failed to win the election, losing to President Donald Trump.
Sanders was wildly popular to younger voters and he used his platform to promote issues relevant to his audience, like universal health care and lowering college tuition. His grassroots growth was lauded and his candidacy launched a surprising amount of buzz with new voters. Sanders even made headlines by appearing at Coachella to introduce Killer Mike and Run The Jewels in front of a massive crowd.
Killer Mike and Sanders created a seemingly unlikely
relationship during the 2016 campaign; the two even shared the stage during a
rally in Atlanta. We wish Sanders nothing but success moving forward with the
upcoming election and Run The Jewels collabs.
