How did u first get introduced to HipHop/Rap?
My mom bought me a bow wow doggie bag cd for Christmas and I played it like there was no tomorrow and I still have that cd to this day Bow wow was the first rapper I got introduced to and seen in real life.
What does the word respect mean to you?
Showing appreciation of what that person is doing, did or how they are but it’s loyalty at the same time also to get respect u have to respect yourself take the time to get to know yourself and what u want in order to grow.
Growing up in your hometown who did you see yourself becoming?
A agent of change, when I started to tell people I wanted to be a rapper I wanted to be real and authentic but I wanted to see if this was the right choice so I started to go to church and when I went the pastor told me “you better get them ready “ so I felt like that was a sign from god so I started attending church and after 2 years I got serious with my music and I told god that it’s in his hands so studying my mind and myself I wanted to make history with my home town I wanted to make people lives change and the only way I could do that if I spark there mindset I want people to come together as one so I create the I AM ENERGY moment.

Suge Knight Calls Out Kanye West Over Offensive Comments on Carter Twins

Suge Knight is known for speaking his mind, and in a recent interview on a show called Art of Dialogue, he shared strong opinions about Kanye West’s recent behavior. Kanye, who is often in the spotlight for his controversial actions, made headlines after insulting Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s children in a tweet. Suge found this particularly unacceptable. “I need to talk to Kanye,” Suge said, clearly upset. “We should never disrespect anyone’s kids.” He was disturbed by Kanye calling the Carter twins a hurtful name, emphasizing that this kind of behavior is unacceptable in both hip-hop and society in general.
“You don’t talk about Jay and Beyoncé’s kids and call them names. That’s crossing the line.” For Suge Knight, this isn’t just about one tweet, it’s about a larger issue. He feels that such hurtful comments not only impact the people involved but also reflect poorly on hip-hop and Black culture as a whole. “I expect more from people in hip-hop and our community,” he stated. “We’ve come a long way, and we should stand up for each other, especially when it comes to protecting kids and those who are vulnerable.”
This isn’t the first time Kanye has faced backlash for his controversial remarks, but Suge clarifies that calling out children is where he draws the line. “That’s not funny to me, not at all,” he remarked, suggesting that there should be real consequences for Kanye’s words. “He needs an old-fashioned lesson.” Suge Knight’s comments remind us that, regardless of how famous an artist is, there are still moral limits that shouldn’t be crossed, especially when it comes to children. His call for accountability sends a strong message to Kanye West and anyone else who might think it’s acceptable to attack innocent kids in the hip-hop world.

Lil Durk Makes History as the Most Certified Rapper of 2025

Lil Durk has officially established himself as one of the biggest names in hip-hop. The Chicago-born rapper just broke records by becoming the first hip-hop artist to earn the most certifications from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2025. This is a huge milestone in his career, highlighting his influence in music today and his status as one of the all-time greats. Recently, the RIAA announced that Durk achieved 53 new certifications, making him the top hip-hop artist of 2025, and placing him among the top 50 artists ever, with an impressive total of 52.5 million units sold.
This news was shared on social media, confirming that he’s not just popular, but his music truly connects with listeners. Durk has made a name for himself with hit collaborations like “Broadway Girls” featuring Morgan Wallen, “All My Life” with J. Cole, and “3 Headed Goat” alongside Lil Baby and Polo G. His ability to tell real-life stories while also creating catchy melodies has made him a standout artist. These new certifications show that his music has lasting appeal. Fans quickly took to social media to celebrate his achievements, with some eagerly anticipating his next album, saying it will be a huge success.
Others reminisced about how hard he’s worked and how much his popularity has grown, especially during his breakthrough years from 2020 to 2021. However, not everyone is impressed. Some critics have pointed out that his collaboration with country star Morgan Wallen might make his success seem less significant. However, the impressive numbers speak for themselves. Durk’s music has played a key role in shaping hip-hop, and the way he mixes different styles only adds to his talent. From being an underground artist to becoming one of the most recognized rappers in history, Lil Durk’s journey is truly inspiring.
