HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Matt Winkelmeyer / Getty Brandy and Jack Harlow engaged in a public back and forth that seemed to put the artists at odds. With the world waiting to see what would happen next, the veteran R&B songstress dropped some bars over Harlow’s “First Class” smash.

The elder Norwood sibling famously tweeted that she would “murk this dude in rap at 43 on his own beats and then sing [h]is ass to sleep.” Harlow tried to extend an olive branch, showing that he’s definit...

We Get Our First Look At Xolo Maridueña As ‘The Blue Beetle’
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Paras Griffin / Getty While Marvel continues to flourish with their cinematic universe and Disney+ series, DC is still struggling to find its footing with their feature film franchises (The Batman was pretty cool, though), but can The Blue Beetle help change that narrative?
