Kanye West Extends Support to ASAP Rocky & Kodak Black Amid Heated Industry Critique

HonkMagazine

Kanye West has made headlines once again with some bold statements on social media. On a recent Tuesday, the outspoken rapper took to X (previously known as Twitter) to express his admiration for two fellow artists, ASAP Rocky and Kodak Black. He simply posted messages like, “I LOVE ROCKY” and “I LOVE KODAK,” showing that he holds these two in high regard. However, his positive comments were surrounded by sharp criticism aimed at other artists. In the last day, Kanye has called out several well-known figures in the music industry, including Future, Metro Boomin, and Playboi Carti.

He expressed his frustration with these collaborators, claiming that many of them have changed due to outside influences. One particularly strong message from Kanye said, “NOBODY GET A PASS. I WAS A PART OF SO MANY OF THESE NS SUCCESS AND A LOT OF NS LET THE JEWS CONTROL THEM.” He also had some harsh words for Pusha T, accusing him of pulling away because of political differences. Despite this critical tone, Kanye’s praise for ASAP Rocky and Kodak Black stands out. Both artists are known for staying true to themselves in a very competitive industry, and this might be why Kanye admires them.

His positive feelings for their originality and talent contrast sharply with his disappointment in others. Kanye’s comments, as always, have sparked debate and mixed reactions. While his support for Rocky and Kodak highlights what he values in artistry, the confrontational language and controversial remarks have reignited discussions about responsibility, free speech, and the influence of powerful voices in music. No matter the positive or negative reactions, Kanye West remains a significant figure in hip-hop. His words continue to provoke thought and conversation among fans and critics alike.

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.
