French Montana And Jim Jones Officially End Their Beef With The ‘Too Late’ Video
The two rappers ended their feud, which dated all the way back to New York’s ‘mixtape era,’ earlier this year. …
Contrary to the title of their new collaboration, it was never “Too Late” for French Montana and Jim Jones to officially end their longstanding feud, even if it has been over 15 years since the New Yorkers’ egos first clashed. The two initially came together on Instagram Live earlier this year, with French posting, “15 YEARS OF BEEFING ENDED UP WITH LAUGHS AND WAR STORIES. BIG MOMENT FOR HIP HOP.” Now, that big moment has been solidified and commemorated with the video for “Too Late” marking the first collaboration between Diplomats and Coke Boyz in over a decade.
While the two rappers and their respective crews have been arguing since the mixtape era, their mutual connection, Max B, was the catalyst for their reconciliation after giving an interview from prison expressing regret for how things played out. He blamed the fight on “two egos coming together” and said, “I think today we would’ve handled the situation different.” He said the disagreement was an example of “just egos clashing. A lack of respect. That sh*t don’t mix well, and next thing you know, we beefing…it shoulda went a different way.”
Meanwhile, French recently collaborated with Pop Smoke and Popcaan after trying to provoke a Verzuz battle with Kendrick Lamar. Jim Jones appeared with fellow Harlemites Dave East and Juelz Santana, the latter from prison, on “Pink Eagle.”

Alwyn Morrison explores betrayal, judgment, and survival on new EP “Trial”
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 explores emotional recovery and self-discovery on “Ceasefire”
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.
