New York DA Dispels Rumors That Donald Trump Investigation Has Stalled
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: New York Daily News / Getty Donald Trump has spent his entire presidency and post-presidency stacking scandals on top of each other and self-absolving by shouting “fake news” at everything that breathes with hopes that repetition can change a lie into truth. He’s like the Kid Rock of Richard Nixons. He’s a whole clown and, according to a New York district attorney, he’s still the suspect of an ongoing criminal investigation. According to Raw Story, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg issued a statement on Thursday to reassure people that his office hasn’t ended its investigation of the president who demonstrably tried to steal an election that was never stolen from him by claiming ad nauseam, and without a shred of evidence, that it was.

‘Sonic 2’ Director Wants to Make a ‘Super Smash Bros.’ Movie
Following the success of Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2, director Jeff Fowler has helped proved that video game adaptation films are very possible.

Discovery Mode, unveiled in November of 2020, is a relatively new feature on the Spotify platform which allows artists the option to boost the visibility of their songs on the platform in exchange for a lower promotional royalty rate. As the letter identifies, however, there is the cha...
