Royce Da 5’9″ Reacts To Lil Wayne’s Donald Trump Picture
Yesterday, Lil Wayne surprised the masses by coming through with an endorsement of Donald Trump, sharing a few words and a buddied-up picture of himself and the current President. “Just had a great meeting with @realdonaldtrump @potus besides what he’s done so far with criminal reform, the platinum plan is going to give the community real ownership,” captioned Wayne, in an uncommon foray into political discourse. “He listened to what we had to say today and assured he will and can get it done.”

Naturally, many of his fellow rappers — a vocal majority of which have fallen into YG’s “FDT” camp — responded with shock and terror. Never one to shy away from offering his take, Royce Da 5’9″ took to Instagram to reflect on Wayne’s endorsement, warning Donald Trump to stay away from hip-hop’s legendary figures. “This ain’t the Iconic Genius that said. {And I Quote} “Bitch, real G’z move in silence like lasagna”…. Nope I rebuke you, Satan … Stay away from our [GOATs] .. And Wayne would’ve NEVER worn a shirt to the White House…”
It should be noted that while many emcees have been vocal in their dislike for Trump, others like 50 Cent (though he later denounced Trump…publically) and Wacka Flocka Flame have praised the President, if only due to Biden’s hard-hitting tax plan. Yet some have found Wayne’s support to be surprising, especially given how critical he was of George Bush during the devastating run of Hurricane Katrina. In fairness, the cause Weezy cited — criminal reform — is an important one, and by his assessment, Trump is making it a high priority.
With the Election only days away, it’s anybody’s guess as to what the outcome might be. At least we know who Royce and Lil Wayne will be casting their respective votes for. Do you agree with Lil Wayne’s stance, or do you feel similarly to 50 Cent, in that he should have kept his Trump support private?

Wyn Calico create the need to support with his latest release “Support”
Wyn Calico steps into deeply personal territory with his latest single, “Support,” a heartfelt offering that addresses a feeling many people know, but rarely express so openly. It’s a song about the universal desire to be encouraged, recognised, and uplifted, turning personal frustration into a relatable message of resilience.
“Support” is a meditation on what it feels like to work tirelessly for something you want, but not have the support you need to fully achieve it. Wyn Calico expresses the emotional burden of wanting to make a difference, believing in your purpose, and still moving forward when you hit setbacks. The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.
This song also highlights an important truth, there are many talented and hard-working people out there who have everything it takes to make a difference, except the encouragement and opportunity to flourish. Wyn Calico’s lyrics and delivery shine a light on that struggle and offer a sense of solidarity to those in similar situations.
“Support” isn’t just a personal statement. It’s a conversation starter. It encourages us to think about the value of community, support, and believing in each other. Wyn Calico’s latest drop is honest, relatable, and emotionally driven, a powerful reminder that even in the moments of isolation, the desire to keep pushing forward is still stronger than ever.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”
NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.
“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.
The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
