Trump Slams Jay-Z & Beyoncé During Campaign Rally
Trump’s received an uptick of support from rappers in the weeks leading up to tomorrow’s election. Lil Wayne emerged a Trump supporter last week and was shortly followed by Kodak Black. Meanwhile, Lil Pump threatened to leave America if Trump isn’t re-elected and somehow, he thought that would sway more people to vote red.

Trump’s rally in Avoca, PA found him taking aim at a few major celebrities who’ve endorsed the Democrats including Lady Gaga who he claims to know “a lot of stories” about. Despite the recent support from major figures in the rap community, he’s still hung up about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s support of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Leave it to Trump to butcher Queen B’s name, though.
“They got Beyonsee and they got Jay-Z,” Trump said of the Democratic party. The crowd began booing as soon as Trump started name dropping these celebrities.
“Right, Jay-Z? Right? And he started using the F-word. Do you remember? In front of this crowd? And it was unbelieve. He was using the f-word, f-word, f-word. And the crowd just goes — and then they left and the crowd left and Hillary was standing on the stage with an empty place since she was talking,” he said.
This is far from the first time that Trump has taken aim at Jay-Z in the past. POTUS took offense after Jay-Z described him as a “superbug” on CNN.
“You don’t take the trash out, you keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable,” Jay-Z told Van Jones of Trump’s racist comments. “As those things grow, you create a superbug. And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug.”
Per usual, Trump lashed out on Twitter just minutes after Fox and Friends reported the comments. “Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!” He tweeted.
We’ll see if Donald Trump wins the re-election.

The Real Mack The Knife honors memory and spirit with soulful release “Rio Grande de Loíza”
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” by The Real Mack The Knife is a powerful tribute to Puerto Rico’s history, memory, and sacred spirit. The track transforms nature into something spiritual, intimate, and timeless, inspired by the legendary river and Julia de Burgos’ immortal voice.
The song “Rio Grande de Loíza” has an old, alive vibe from the beginning. River water, moonlight, desire, and cultural memory shape a song that seems to rise from the ground. The Real Mack The Knife uses the river as a living, symbolic being, unlike the original work.
Julia de Burgos gives the piece incredible depth. She sees the river as a witness, a mother, a wound, a mirror, and a prayer throughout the song’s emotional landscape. The literary and spiritual connection gives the track a haunting beauty beyond music.

Devan Ibiza adds soul and reflection on new release “Portland”
With “Portland,” Devan Ibiza creates a warm, thoughtful, atmospheric hip-hop record rooted in boom-bap’s deep, reflective energy. Soulful production and introspective mood make it a quiet moment of thought rather than a distraction.
“Portland” embodies classic hip-hop. Boom-bap gives it a rhythmic foundation, and warm, soulful production draws listeners in. This beat is perfect for contemplation, letting emotion and thought flow.
The single’s mood adds interest. Devan Ibiza values subtlety and atmosphere over loudness and trends. The song’s restraint is its strength. Late-night thoughts, personal memories, and quiet realizations make “Portland” contemplative.
