Charlamagne Tha God Suggests He Regrets Giving Tory Lanez “Donkey Of The Day”
The release of Tory Lanez’s latest project, DAYSTAR was ill-timed for numerous reasons. For one, it was days after Daniel Cameron announced no charges would be filed against the officers that killed Breonna Taylor. Secondly, this scenario is far more pressing than a cheating scandal or a secret love child that can be addressed with a surprise release.
Tory targetted the media in his response to allegations that he shot Megan Thee Stallion including personalities like Charlamagne Tha God who dubbed him “Donkey Of The Day.” However, in a recent episode of Brilliant Idiots, Charlamagne explained why Tory put himself in a position to be criticized the way he is right now.
“There were certain websites that said they’d never cover Tory again. Tory brought that on himself ’cause Tory put out an album talking about the situation,” Charlamagne explained. “That’s not a smear campaign. They’re upset with you because they feel you’re capitalizing off a situation — that you’re profiting off violence towards women.”
Charlamagne admitted that he simply gave Tory “Donkey Of The Day” because of Megan’s word, though he said perhaps it was a premature assessment. He explained that he didn’t find any reason to believe Meg’s lying.
“Once again Tory, nobody cares about the truth when the lie is more entertaining,” Charlamagne said, adding that terms like “allegedly” should be used in reference to the situation. “It’s clearly more to the situation that we know. That’s all I know,” he continued as he sidetracked about Girlfriends. “I gave Tory ‘Donkey Of The Day’ but maybe I shouldn’t have done that. I don’t know the whole story. I’m going off what Megan said, though, like everybody else. I don’t see why Megan would have to lie.”

E.G. Phillips unveils where silence speaks the loudest on new release “Empathy for the Night Fly”
The mood of E.G. PHILLIPS’s “Empathy for the Night Fly” is instantly cinematic, dark, introspective, and frozen in time. The track sounds like a scene from a late-night club where everything slows down just enough for feelings to come out. The arrangement is jazz-like in that it lets each part breathe. The arpeggiating Rhodes piano comes and goes, giving the impression that the music is thinking, as if it’s moving.
The song is really about recognition, which is when you hear something in someone else’s voice that reminds you of your own experience. It’s subtle, almost fragile, but it has a big effect on people. That emotional connection is what holds the piece together.
That choice seems deliberate, even defiant. It asks the listener to pay attention differently, not just passively. Every break is a part of the story. E.G. Phillips doesn’t just make the mood; he keeps it going. In that space, “Empathy for the Night Fly” becomes a quiet, powerful look at memory, connection, and shared feelings.

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.
