Adin Ross Spills the Tea, Playboi Carti Sequel Livestream Plans Fizzle Out
Adin Ross Spills the Tea, Playboi Carti Sequel Livestream Plans Fizzle Out
Playboi Carti appears to have pulled the plug on a much-anticipated sequel live stream, leaving fans in suspense. Adin Ross, who had fervently built up the excitement for a second encounter with the rapper, shares some blame for the letdown. Remember the first livestream? It lasted a mere ten minutes after a Vultures listening event, ending with Carti abruptly leaving and allegedly swindling the streamer out of $2 million. Now, Ross concedes defeat, acknowledging that despite his efforts, part two might not materialize anytime soon.
During a recent livestream, Ross admitted, “I don’t think Carti 2 is happening anymore.” Speculating that Carti may have strung him along to avoid negative publicity, Ross shared, “I have a theory that Carti was just texting me to kind of keep me in a position where I’m not going to be on his bad side, where I’m on the Internet talking crazy, if that makes sense. I think I got played.”
Undeterred, Ross revealed his plan to release warehouse footage if confirmation of the sequel’s cancellation surfaces. In response to potential criticism, he asserted, “I mean, dude, I kinda got scammed, so I mean, I’m blackmailing a scam. So you can’t blame me.”
While Ross has faced other conflicts with rappers recently, this time he took a different approach. Despite YBN Nahmir’s challenge to a boxing match and dismissive remarks, Ross chose to mostly ignore the situation.

Album Review
R3b3l I explores self-discovery through sound on “A Different Frequency” album
In a music scene often ruled by lyrics, R3b3l I proves that you can tell a powerful story without a single lyric. “A Different Frequency” is a twelve-track instrumental hip-hop and rap-inspired album inviting you into a deeply personal journey of growth, self-discovery, and purpose, speaking its message purely through mood, rhythm, and expression.
“Dance Before the Throne” opens the album, immediately establishing the tone of reflection and reverence. From here, “Elevate” and “The Wave” continue, adding momentum and a sense of movement and change. Each piece is a chapter in a larger story, allowing you to interpret the music with your own experience.
Songs like “I AM Power,” “Level Up,” and “Awaken” seem to be a big part of the progression of the album. The energy is one of empowerment and inner evolution. “The Jazzy Hop” is a nice change of pace in style, with a smooth, groove-flavored taste that shows R3b3l I’s versatility. Meanwhile, “Carousel,” “Raindrops,” and “Heartbeat” are moments of introspection that balance uplifting themes with emotional depth and openness.
The project wraps up on an emotional high with “Ancestors,” a heartfelt tribute to the forebears and the invisible forces that still influence us on our journeys. It’s a fitting way to close out an album about connection, growth, and purpose. “A Different Frequency” is more than a collection of tracks with carefully constructed instrumentals and thoughtful sequencing, and it’s a rewarding journey for those who want immersive instrumental hip-hop with heart, imagination, and substance.

“Signalling Signatures” finds Mr Pigeons exploring dreams, truth, and hidden meanings
While the first look at an upcoming project usually sets the expectations, Mr Pigeons does something more ambitious with “Signalling Signatures.” With this release, the hip-hop artist opens up a portal into “Shining Arras,” inviting you into a world where dreams, symbols, and hidden meanings collide.
“Signalling Signatures” is an exploration of the thin veil between reality and imagination, based on themes of altered consciousness and shifting perspectives. The song is a mix of mythology, film, and spiritual symbolism and encourages you to look beyond the ordinary and find the messages in everyday life. Mr Pigeons delivers with purpose and swagger, blending introspection with crisp storytelling. He also renders the abstract ideas of the song accessible.
The thing about “Signalling Signatures” that is so compelling is its sheer audacity to challenge you. There are no easy answers in this song, only a quest for truth, perception, and uncertainty. A good opening chapter to “Shining Arras,” and it manages to build up suspense as well as showing Mr Pigeons’ artistic vision. “Signalling Signatures” is a good introduction to what could be an interesting new creative phase for the artist.
