Big K.R.I.T. Releases “K.R.I.T. Iz Here” Short Film

One year and one day ago today (July 12, 2019), the highly-revered emcee, Big K.R.I.T. released his fourth studio album K.R.I.T. Iz Here (2019). While K.R.I.T. exercised his lyrical ability weaving through the album’s instrumentals flawlessly, the project featured some of the biggest names in all of hip-hop including the likes of Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Saweetie, Yella Beezy, Rico Love, and more. And now, the “Energy” rapper is celebrating the one-year anniversary of the nineteen-track LP with the release of a short film commemorating his latest musical effort with visuals of the same name.

The nearly five-and-a-half-minute film features a multitude of different captivating visuals of the Mississippi-bred rapper performing songs from his album including the likes of “Make It Easy,” “I Been Waitin,” “Blue Flame Ballet,” “Outer Space,” “Believe,” and “Everytime.” K.R.I.T. kicks off the film dressed in head-to-toe white denim performing “Make It Easy” in a field of abandoned vehicles. K.R.I.T. follows the ritualistic visuals with a hazy, night performance of “I Been Waitin” before eventually closing out the film with the sultry sounds of “Everytime” which showcases the many faces of his Meridian, Mississippi hometown patrons.

The 33-year-old emcee praised the director of his K.R.I.T. Iz Here short film and also noted that he will be hosting a YouTube Live event this upcoming Sunday (July 19) at 3 P.M. EST in celebration of the one-year anniversary of his latest studio album. The caption reads,

“‪In honor of the 1 Year Anniversary of K.R.I.T. IZ Here I am releasing a short film to commemorate the album. To celebrate, I’d like to invite you to watch & chat with me on YouTube this Sunday at 3pm EST! S/O to the Director Child for helping bring my album to life with her vision.”

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
