Snoop Dogg has recently revealed that he has his eye set on running his former record label Death Row Records soon. Snoop, along with Dr. Dre and 2Pac were amongst the three key artists who were responsible for the legendary label’s success. The rapper released his two debut albums Doggystyle and Tha Doggfather in 1993 and 1996 respectively, under Death Row Records prior to leaving for Master P’s label, No Limit Records in 1998. In a new episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game, Snoop Dogg told Gillie Da Kid and Wallo that he thinks he should be the one that is running Death Row. “I think all of Death Row should be in my hands. I should be running that shit. Just like I’m [in] a position at Def Jam, Death Row means more to me because I helped create that. I think they should give me that an...

The way he tells it, 2 Chainz was his high school’s best-dressed student. As a teenager in Atlanta, he spent his money on high-end sportswear from Walter’s Clothing, wearing Polo Ralph Lauren chinos to class when all of his peers were in jeans. “I’ve always been fresh,” he says, with a shrug. “Design is something I really care about. I always cared about a lot more things than a normal rap artist. I’ve always been having that sh*t on.” It’s partly braggadocio, sure. Yet it’s not hard to believe: Chainz is a figure unlike any other to have emerged from the Atlanta scene of the early noughties. He’s one of hip-hop’s wittiest lyricists and most mercurial artists, whose music veers from lurching trap to soulful reflection, often on the same record. And he remains one of the industry’s most pop...

Mitski has officially announced her first album in three years, Laurel Hell. The Be the Cowboy followup is billed as “a soundtrack for transformation, a map to the place where vulnerability and resilience, sorrow and delight, error and transcendence can all sit within our humanity, can all be seen as worthy of acknowledgment, and ultimately, love” and is named after the mountain laurels. She shared, “I wrote what I needed to hear. As I’ve always done.” Mitski admitted, “I got to a point where I just knew that if I kept going this way, I would numb myself to completion.” She added, “I needed love songs about real relationships that are not power struggles to be won or lost. I needed songs that could help me forgive both others and myself. I make mistakes all the time. I don’t want to p...

Rick Ross has once again cemented himself as one of the rap game’s biggest bosses. The hip-hop mogul currently has an estimated net worth of $40 million USD and shows no signs of stopping. In the first episode of REVOLT’s Assets over Liabilities, The Boss was given the opportunity to flex his affluence. In the interview he shared, “Homes was something I was always fascinated about. So me and my homies started coming up to Atlanta. We used to ride by here all the time [we would pull over] and just be like God damn.” He continued to detail that when he got his deal, he “bought a million-dollar home maybe two minutes from here that [he] still own that’s right around the corner just so [he] can ride by it every day while [he’s] in Atlanta.” HipHopDX reports that the Atlant home is o...

According to reports, Travis Scott, Live Nation and other associated parties are now facing a slew of lawsuits filed by those that attended Astroworld Festival 2021. At least 35 lawsuits have been filed through the Harris County District Clerk following the tragedy that unfolded at the event that claimed the lives of eight people and saw 300 people sustain injuries. Aside from Travis Scott and Live Nation, Drake who made an appearance on stage, Cactus Jack, promoter ScoreMore and the Harris County Sports & Convention Corporation which oversees the NRG Park location have been mentioned in numerous lawsuits. Reports are noting that any insurance policies held by the parties named in the legal filings should not be able to cover the hundreds of millions those that suffered physically and ...

RATING: 8/10 Although it made barely a ripple in the global scene, NORTHTALE‘s debut album “Welcome to Paradise” was arguably a connoisseur’s choice back in 2018. Guitarist and chief creative force Bill Hudson (CIRCLE II CIRCLE/ex-JON OLIVA’S PAIN) had a very clear and noble vision — to set out on that first record, with (now former) vocalist Christian Eriksson providing the necessary multi-octave flair, to create a bunch of great tunes that were unapologetic in their debt to HELLOWEEN and STRATOVARIUS. Three years on, the formula remains largely the same, but with a new frontman, Guilherme Hirose, and a noticeably heavier sound, “Eternal Flame” demands attention and respect in a way that its predecessor arguably didn’t. It always helps when ...
