HipHopWired Featured Video Source: BMX / REDLINE BIKES / BMX / REDLINE BIKES For a minute now A$AP Ferg has been expanding his brand and making some power moves outside of the rap game, but his latest venture is sure to propel him to the next level as he’s linking up with Jigga to get his career booming in the coming years.

Cardi B Shuts Down Trolls Over Upcoming Court Case
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Bernard Smalls / @PhotosByBeanz83 One thing Cardi B doesn’t do, is play when it comes to her family—a lesson a troll had to find out the hard way. Earlier this week while on social media, the “Up” artist took a moment to address critics who had something to say, utilizing the tongue-out emoji before adding that some people “wanna see a bad b—ch do bad.” Related Stories From one to back down from trolls, Bardi continued to respond to comments referencing her “going to prison,” this time if she does go to prison, she’s “adding a few Ms” before seemingly throwing shade at Nicki Minaj’s husband by noting to trolls that “Before I go to prison you gone see me breakin more records and making more Ms,” she told one Twitter user.

HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Marion County Sheriff’s Office / Marion County Sheriff’s Office At times it really does feel like Floridians really out here doing the most but this latest incident might be the most unnecessary one to date.

Jim James: How Jamming, Dreams, Stranger Things Sparked New My Morning Jacket LP
“Balance and Surrender” is apparently the name of a yoga studio in Tamworth, England. It also could have easily been the title of My Morning Jacket’s ninth LP. First, the balance: It’s the only reason we even have this self-titled project, their first new album since 2015’s The Waterfall (and its temporarily shelved sequel from the same sessions, 2020’s The Waterfall II). After the gently twangy psych-rock band finished the grueling tour cycle behind that record, frontman/bandleader Jim James decided they needed to wind down for a bit — pausing, if not outright ending, the live/studio onslaught they’ve maintained since forming in 1998. “When the band was coming up, we were fortunate to get so many offers — go open for this band or that band, go do that show,” James tells SPI...
