Fabolous Welcomes G Herbo To “The Family” With Icy Chain

G Herbo’s love life has been a fixture on blogs for the past few years but his relationship with Taina Williams has been making headlines for a while. It’s in part due to the fact that Herbo, a rapper, is dating the stepdaughter of another rapper, Fabolous. And while Fabolous and Emily B expanded their family with a newborn baby over the weekend, Fab also extended a warm welcome to G Herbo into the fam.

A video surfaced this week of Herbo being gifted a new chain from Fabolous, evidently welcoming him to the fam with a chain that reads, “The Family.” Herbo shared a video of himself getting the chain with Fab sitting across from him. “On Foe nem. That’s cause of — aye, that’s cause I’m really in the family,” Herbo said as he held the pendant.

“@myfabolouslife LOVE YOU BIG DAWGGG. THE FAMMMMM,” he wrote.

Herbo and Fabolous have previously praised each other in recent interviews with the latter referring to himself as an OG to the former. In late 2019, Fab opened up about his relationship with Herbo. “I’m even able to be kind of like an OG to him on a sense of in their relationship too because she’s now dealing with a rapper,” Fabolous said. “I can even speak from his perspective a little bit and help (Taina) understand.”

Herb previously detailed meeting Fab for the first time. Like meeting anyone’s parents, it’s nerve-wracking but for Herb, it was meeting someone that he knew idolized before meeting Taina.

“Of course, you nervous. A kid like me, you nervous. Going around him for the first time. You want to be accepted,” he explained to HipHopDX earlier this year. “I was nervous my first time comin’ around him. That’s somebody that I just looked up to growing up.”

ReeToxA confronts the past with truth on “HMAS CERBERUS”

“HMAS CERBERUS,” ReeToxA’s new single, is a raw, very personal song about his life experiences. The song sounds like Oz rock from the 1990s, and modern alternative and grunge. It sounds brave and familiar at the same time, like a truth kept secret for a long time.

“HMAS CERBERUS” is based on a true story from Jason McKee’s life, and it shows how his ten years in the Navy changed him and how they still do. The song bravely speaks to the emotional toll of service, including alcoholism and mental stress, sincerely.

The poem is what makes the single stand out. The writing is brilliant and stays smart, and it’s hard without being preachy. The singer got the idea for the song when he saw four seasons in one day at a beer garden in Melbourne. It connects the sudden change in the weather to a life that is constantly changing and hiding how you feel. It’s a potent metaphor for a mind that finally stops long enough to figure out where the damage started.

The song “HMAS CERBERUS” is both intense and at the same time. It makes you think, but it’s also surprisingly easy to dance to, which shows that dark themes don’t have to be sad music. The song is both interesting and challenging to listen to because of the gritty guitars and rock base. In a sea of safe releases, ReeToxA stands out as honest, raw, uncomfortable, and necessary. “HMAS CERBERUS” is a brave meditation that stays with you for a long.time

Singer-songwriter Kieran James delivers a devastating new single with “Part of the Grind,” a track to tackle the tangled emotions behind loss and memory. A love letter penned to a close friend who faced severe cognitive decline, the song’s emotional heft feels universal yet heartbreakingly personal.

His voice floats, leaving room for silence and the long pauses that so often come with grief. But in that silence, there is warmth as well, a refusal to let memory be totally extinguished.

Resilience is also implied in the song’s title, a reminder that even in heartbreak, life goes on and holding the memory of someone stays with the rhythm of everyday living. it’s an anthem for anyone who has ever looked on witnessing decline, mixed sorrow with love.

In Kieran James’s “Part of the Grind,” we hear music as well as go behind it. He gives us room feel, to mourn, and to honor. In the process, he turns private pain into something achingly universal, a song for everyone who has either loved or lost.
