Big U Speaks Out Before Facing RICO Charges, Claims Industry Figures Played a Role

HonkMagazine

In a shocking moment for the hip-hop community, music executive Big U recently shared some serious news on Instagram. He announced that he had been charged with conspiracy related to a federal law aimed at tackling organized crime. Before he turned himself in to authorities, Big U took the opportunity to explain his side of the story. “This might be my last video,” he said calmly but firmly. He faced some heavy accusations related to serious crimes and didn’t hold back from discussing the situation. He pointed out that two well-known figures in the industry, Wack 100 and 600, played a part in the charges against him.

He claimed that 600 was actually with the police during a raid on his home, suggesting a deep sense of betrayal. “He’s got video footage of it, so everyone knows what’s going on,” he added, clearly frustrated and dismissing the allegations as nonsense. Big U’s choice to speak directly to his fans before the legal process begins shows he wants to be open about what’s happening. “I’m going to turn myself in and see what’s going on,” he explained, reflecting a defiant attitude and uncertainty about the future. In a time when social media allows public figures to share their stories and control their messages, Big U’s candid approach brings a personal touch to this ongoing legal situation.

He also mentioned that federal agents are interested in his troubled relationships with Wack 100 and another associate, Luce Cannon, implying that personal conflicts might have played a part in the investigation against him. We’ll have to wait and see if there’s any truth to these accusations, but Big U’s determination to stand by his story has already started conversations throughout the hip-hop scene. For now, Big U’s Instagram video acts as both a claim of innocence and a challenge to those he believes have contributed to his troubles.

Kalpee Honors Heritage and Heart on His Emotion-Rich New EP Dougla Boi

Kalpee

Kalpee is back with Dougla Boi, a beautiful new EP that is both personal and powerful. It gives listeners a close look at the layers of identity, heritage, and emotion that make him who he is. The Trinidad and Tobago artist is confident in his own space, which is rooted in New Calypso and polished with hints of dancehall, R&B, and afrobeats. In this space, genre bends, but emotion leads.

Named after the Trinidadian word for someone of mixed African and Indian heritage, Dougla Boi is honest, proud, and warm about the complexities of culture. Kalpee opens a window into the dualities that define him across six tracks, turning personal truth into universal resonance. The EP is just under 19 minutes long, but every second is carefully planned to take listeners on a journey through courage, joy, healing, and the quiet strength that comes from accepting all parts of yourself.

The first single, “Under,” stands out right away for its calming yet emotionally charged experience. Kalpee’s voice flows over a beat that sounds both new and old, fitting the EP’s theme of bringing cultures together. It’s one of the best examples of how he can mix soft and hard sounds, which is what makes his New Calypso sound so unique.

“Everybody,” which features Full Blown, is another excellent song that has already done very well. It has a happy vibe and an infectious bounce, making it one of the EP’s most replayable songs. “Everybody” captures the spirit of community and shared experience, which is what Kalpee means when he says that identity is not a box but a rhythm.
