Emerging Memphis rapper SB SurfsUp creates his own wave on hypnotic new single “Mode” that serves as an impressive introduction to anyone unfamiliar with his refreshing energy in today’s clone-filled industry.

Peep the “music movie” below:

No stranger to the music industry, SB has been making music and igniting movements in his city over the past decade.

Signed to indie label Drought King Music with a new distribution deal with Sony/The Orchard, the talented rapper/entrepreneur continues to make power moves as one of the hardest working rappers in the game.

With breakout record “Be Her Man”, SB (formerly known as Skool Boy) made his mark as one of the hottest up-and-comers in the south.

Growing up, SB did not have any direct musical influences in his family or circle but took a liking to Pop superstars like Bobby Brown and Michael Jackson who inspired his melodic blend of Soul and Trap music.

Earlier in his career, SB hosted parties, led a street promotion team, built relationships with both radio and labels, released music and uplifted underserved youth with the goal of earning a spot in the industry.

A man of many talents, SB launched his clothing brand “Dreamers & Believers” inspired by his dream of becoming an artist and setting the example that anything is possible if you believe and put in the work.

And that’s exactly what he did as the latest promising artist from the musically rich city of Memphis.

Lil Durk Co Defendants OTF Dede and David Lindsey Seek Acquittal and New Trial

OTF Dede and David Lindsey are fighting their recent stalking convictions as the legal process in Lil Durk’s case continues to play out.

Lil Durk was facing five charges, two of them murder-for-hire related and three of them stalking related, while the two co-defendants were convicted on three counts of stalking in the same case. Durk was just cleared of all charges in that case a couple of weeks ago, but Dede and Lindsey didn’t get the same result.

The latest legal twist adds another chapter to a case that has remained tightly connected to Lil Durk’s ongoing legal troubles. Durk was acquitted in the initial murder-for-hire case, but his larger legal battle is far from over.

For Dede and Lindsey, the immediate issue is their stalking convictions and whether the court will grant either of the new requests filed. The couple’s pleas carry long prison sentences, and the pending motions are especially important for their attorneys.
The court has not ruled on the Rule 29 and Rule 33 motions, leaving the next phase of litigation uncertain.

Lil Durk, meanwhile, is set to appear in court on November 4 for a bond hearing. His trial in the VICAR case was scheduled for the next few weeks, but it is likely to be delayed.

Separate legal proceedings are now moving forward in the cases of Durk, Dede, and Lindsey, who remain active. Dede and Lindsey’s latest filings ensure that the group’s legal saga continues even after Durk’s acquittal in the original case.

Meek Mill steps back from his ongoing feud with DJ Akademiks,

Meek Mill and DJ Akademiks’ ongoing social media beef has taken another turn, with Meek seemingly getting the last word.

The two have been feuding for around a decade, and their tensions have become closely tied to the fallout from Meek’s beef with Drake. Following Akademiks taking Drake’s side in the public feud, Meek clearly didn’t want to be featured on Akademiks’ page. Since then, they have exchanged occasional messages and renewed disagreements.

The latest chapter heated up around the Lil Durk trial. Meek Mill called out Akademiks for his coverage and commentary on the case, saying he had become a bad influence on the culture.

Akademiks fired back hard, and the beef snowballed into a back and forth of threats between the two. At one point, Meek asked for Akademiks’ address, while Akademiks showed off an arsenal of machine guns and rifles. The confrontation had been really serious before apparently cooling off in recent days.

The message is the latest chapter in a long-running feud that has flared up several times over the past decade. This latest back-and-forth could be Meek’s attempt to close the door on the feud, but given the history between the two, tensions can flare up fast.
So far, it looks like Meek is putting a line under his part of the conversation. Only time will tell whether Akademiks responds.
