50 Cent to Hit the Stage at GOP Convention Amid Trump Assassination Attempt Buzz

50 Cent

50 Cent is reportedly set to perform at the Republican National Convention, which began in Milwaukee on Monday. According to CNN’s Victor Blackwell, the legendary New York rapper is on the schedule, although “plans could still change.” This development follows the resurgence of his hit song “Many Men” on the charts after Donald Trump survived an assassination attempt in Butler, Pennsylvania, on Saturday.

In a controversial move, 50 Cent shared an edited version of his Get Rich or Die Tryin’ cover with Trump’s face on his body earlier this week. He captioned it, “Trump gets shot and now I’m trending.” The news of his potential performance at the R.N.C. has sparked a wave of criticism on social media.

MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN – JULY 15: Speaker of the House Mike Johnson (R-LA) and Republican National Committee co-chair Michael Whatley (R) appear on stage as the convention takes the official photograph on the first day of the Republican National Convention at the Fiserv Forum on July 15, 2024, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Delegates, politicians, and the Republican faithful are in Milwaukee for the annual convention, concluding with former President Donald Trump accepting his party’s presidential nomination. The RNC takes place from July 15-18.

“He’s the perfect fit. His movies and TV shows show black men in the worst possible light as drug dealers and killers. Exactly what the GOP represents us as,” one user on X (formerly Twitter) wrote. Another remarked, “Yet another felon, who can’t vote anyway, so his opinion does not matter.”

In other news, Trump confirmed Ohio Senator J.D. Vance as his vice-presidential candidate for the upcoming election. He made the announcement on Truth Social on Monday. Stay tuned for more updates on 50 Cent and the Republican National Convention on Honk Magazine.

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”

Alwyn Morrison

Life isn’t always a straight line, and Alwyn Morrison explores that in “Trial,” a four-track EP that goes beyond the familiar territory of love and heartbreak. The project blends pop, rock, and singer-songwriter influences, exploring themes of betrayal, false accusations, emotional pain, self-defense, and survival. Each track is inspired by courtrooms and is a step in a personal journey of understanding, acceptance, and ultimately freedom.

The first track, “Puzzle Piece,” is Morrison’s raw, heavy alternative rock sound, fitting the weight of betrayal and false accusations. The song has a sense of tension, putting you in the shoes of someone trying to understand a difficult situation. Followed by “Everybody Bleeds,” which follows that emotional path, creating a song about confusion, openness, and the struggles we all face, and it’s an emotional listen, with hard truths and personal experiences laid bare.

The project’s focus track, “Monster,” goes into more personal territory. It explores what happens when we are judged or condemned for the choices we make, and it carries a message that goes far beyond Morrison’s own experience. The central theme will strike a chord with anyone who has felt misunderstood, unfairly labeled, or defined by others’ opinions.

The EP closes with “Fireflies,” a track that shifts the mood, contrasting childhood innocence and memories with the realities of adult life. The sequence moves the story toward resilience, survival, and earned acceptance. Alwyn Morrison spins a musical tale of hard life experiences put to the test. The courtroom concept gives the four songs real purpose to move on without letting past experience dictate the future.

Fanny Alexandra

Not every fight ends a relationship, and there could be long-term emotional damage, with questions about identity, attachment, and the difficult path to moving on. “Ceasefire” is a ghostly alternative rock ballad in which Fanny Alexandra navigates difficult terrain, exploring emotional dependency and the search for selfhood after a toxic relationship.

“Ceasefire” is full of sad melodies and hints of atmospheric rock, making it a dark, cinematic listen. The song’s alt-rock pivot provides an emotionally charged foundation, and it’s about the internal battle, especially when your identity has been so tied to another person.

Fanny Alexandra’s ethereal vocal approach suits the song, lending real emotional weight to the exploration of self-loss and internal tension. “Ceasefire” is a reflective track, with atmospheric instrumentation and deeply personal songwriting that capture feelings that can linger long after a tough chapter closes.

It’s about finding yourself again, and its emotional arc moves from openness and dependence to the hard-earned discovery that personal freedom is more than just walking away. Fanny Alexandra’s love for dark, emotional alternative music inspired “Ceasefire.” Her art is about intimate storytelling, cinematic atmosphere, and making music that explores the quieter struggles people tend to keep inside. In this record, she turns the fallout from a toxic relationship into a meditative reflection on the long road to selfhood.
