Kevin Abstract released his second studio album titled ARIZONA BABY. The record is his first solo effort in three years, and is produced by long time collaborator Romil Hemnani and Bleachers front man, Jack Antonoff.
Abstract released the album in experimental fashion– releasing three songs at a time each week, before rolling out the full length version. It’s a gigantic leap in quality all around for the 21-year old, L.A. based rapper. The record is a personal essay where Abstract reflects on his own sexuality and the effects its had his past, as well as his personal relationships with friends– most notably on the track “Corpus Christi,” where he divulges on the removal of former bandmate Ameer Vann.
The new album has revised versions of previously released tracks and features some members of Brockhampton. The new mixes and masters of the songs make the complete project flow very smoothly from front to back. While the tracks do deal with some more serious lyrics than a standard Brockhampton project, a good bulk of the songs are perfect for the summer.

The movie will be directed by Steve Stanulis and is set to come out in June. When asked about his decision to cast DMX, Stanulis said, ““When my casting director suggested DMX it immediately resonated with me as a perfect fit.I have no doubt he is going bring a different dynamic to the role and I’m excited to have him part of this talented cast. I’m looking forward to working with him and everyone else this summer.”
DMX got his acting role as Tommy Bundy in the 1998 movie, Belly. Other movies he’s appeared in were Exit Wounds and Cradle 2 The Game.
Noteably, X appeared in Kanye’s Sunday Service Coachella performance and is reportedly making music in the studio with Swiss Beatz.
Meek Mill has had an interesting relationship with social media which include professional and familial beef. On Saturday, Meek Mill decided he had had enough and deleted his Instagram.
After fans started noticing, Meek posted on Twitter: “No social media…just real life!” After even further questioning, Meek said, “I’m on real life vibes now…lol I be tired of seeing that capping sometimes”.
I’m on real life vibes right now … lol I be tired of seeing all that capping sometimes 😂 https://t.co/JWqTde8zsJ
I totally see where Meek is coming from as the dishonesty and deception on social media has become integral parts of the platform. And what’s more is that it seems to completely control some people to the point in which its the main form of reality that they care about.
Thankfully for us fans, it’s a good sign to see that Meek is still on Twitter. Despite all the negatives of social media, it still remains a very powerful source of communication between celebrities and fans.
According to Blast, Tyga has dropped the lawsuit against Birdman and Cash Money. The suit claimed that they owed Tyga $1 million in royalties for his Hotel California and Careless World albums. Tyga and his legal team were suing for breach of contract and $10 million in damages.
Last year, the case had taken a surprising turn when Birdman started to claim that it was actually Tyga that owed Cash Money money, not the other way around. That accusation may have something to do with Tyga dropping the case.
Cash Money has run into problems with artists before with Lil Wayne famously suing them for $51 million in 2015. Even though Tyga has dropped the case, let’s just hope that everyone is getting what they’re owed. Hard work needs to be rewarded.
