Drake Endorses “Insane” Upcoming Album From GORDO
Despite dropping two albums in a single year, Drake still managed to find time to tap into what’s new and upcoming.

Like there’s an alpha, musician jocky-ness to me and the bottom line is, like, I went to school to get it over with.

For RM, who started putting out his music on online hip-hop communities under the pseudonym of Runch Randa in 2007, this album has taken 15 years to materialize.

During the seventh day of the blockbuster trial, Kelly (a key witness for Lanez’s defense team) testified that when he first looked outside his home on the night of the incident, he saw Megan and Harris kicking and punching each other outside of a vehicle. “They were pulling their hair and hitting each other. It was quite violent,” he told Lanez’s attorney George Mgdesyan. Shortly after a man matching the description o...
