Morgan Freeman Explains How He Got to Narrate ‘Savage Mode II’
When the trailer for 21 Savage and Metro Boomin’s highly anticipated Savage Mode II dropped, fans were ecstatic that the project was finally dropping. However, hearing Morgan Freeman’s voice during the trailer only fueled that excitement even more.
In a new interview with GQ, Freeman says that the collaboration between him and the duo was the perfect match. He took the opportunity to narrate the project because it did not present him as the “nice guy” that Morgan Freeman is typically cast as.
“What happens is you sort of get locked into a position,” Freeman explained. “Henry Fonda was in it, Spencer Tracy was in it, James Stewart was in it, even though he played a couple of bad guys. You don’t really don’t want to be cast into a mold, but after a few years, it’s bound to happen. Every [offer] that’s outside of what you consider [your] mold is fun to do. I got to jump at it.”
When he originally read the copy for the album, Freeman said that there was a lot of wisdom that resonated with him.
“I read the copy and was like, ‘Wow, there’s some wisdom in here,’” Freeman said. He added that he simplified the monologues to their central theme. “I think this is the way I think. It’s basically saying don’t suffer fools and when you want something go for that. If [Savage’s music] is a young people thing, then this is stuff they need to be aware of. So it’s a good thing to do.”
Savage was even more excited than his fans that he was able to get Morgan Freeman on the album. During his album release, Savage took to IG to show his excitement, saying “Listen to Morgan Freeman, man! That’s Morgan Freeman. Fuck wrong with y’all? Y’all can’t even e-mail Morgan Freeman.”

Mac Miller’s creative spirit is still alive and well, intricately weaving beats with unfiltered emotions that resonate deeply, giving fans something special to look forward to. One of his most elusive projects, ‘Balloonerism,’ finally ascends from whispers in the ether to an official release. During Tyler, The Creator’s Camp Flog Gnaw festival last weekend, he gifted Mac Miller’s devoted followers an exciting announcement of the release of the long-lost album; ‘Balloonerism’ which will finally be released on January 17, 2025.

For fans, ‘Balloonerism’ is a collection of songs; it’s a bridge between two iconic albums, ‘Watching Movies with the Sound Off’ and ‘Faces.’ Initially crafted during this period, parts of the album were repurposed for ‘Faces,’ leaving fans speculating for years about the rest. We’ll finally explore these unreleased gems and the artistic overlaps that defined Miller’s creative peak during those transformative years.
2024 has been significant for celebrating Mac’s legacy, especially with the 10th anniversary of ‘Faces’ reigniting admiration for his fearless style.

“He changed my life… He was teaching me how to rap on the beat, how to project,” Staples reflected in 2023, encapsulating the selfless, nurturing energy Mac exuded. This human touch elevates his work beyond music, leaving an indelible mark on everyone he encounters. As we eagerly count down to the long-overdue debut, ‘Balloonerism,’ fans are ready to celebrate Mac’s heartfelt gift, which he brought to the world through his art. January 17 will be a day to remember an artist who gave so much through his music. Mac’s may have ended too soon, but his story continues to soar wonderfully, reminding audiences of the special magic Mac Miller represented.

“Baby Fever” On Overdrive As Boosie Badazz Ready Plans to Expand His Family Right After Ninth Child!
Boosie Badazz, the ever-vocal Louisiana rapper, is expressing his desire to expand his family. Earlier this month, Boosie and his fiancée, Rajel Nelson, happily announced that they are expecting a baby girl, Boosie’s ninth child. They celebrated this joyous occasion with a vibrant gender reveal party surrounded by friends and family, but Boosie’s excitement for his baby’s gender hasn’t diminished his wish for a boy. He’s already thinking about the next phase of parenthood.
In a candid Instagram Live session, Boosie shared his thoughts with his followers. “Yeah, I wanted a boy,” he admitted. “I ain’t tripping I’ma to put another one in her right after that. Other people wait six weeks; I don’t wait six days. I ain’t waiting six days. I’m gone get that boy.” His confident declaration indicates that Boosie is eager to keep growing his family, much to his fans’ amusement (and surprise).
While Boosie expresses his enthusiasm, Rajel Nelson has a slightly more traditional viewpoint. During her Instagram Live session, she shared her initial desire to be married before starting a family. “I did say I would like to be a wife before I have a kid,” Nelson reflected. “But God has blessed me to have a child before I got married, and that is okay. This is my baby. I made it. So, I’m just going to, you know, lay in my bed with it.”
Despite the whirlwind of baby discussions, Nelson remains grounded, particularly regarding public perception. She quickly dismissed critics who label her a “gold digger,” asserting that she is financially independent and does not rely on Boosie for her success. Regarding their relationship, Nelson suggests that the negativity aimed at her stems from others’ insecurities rather than her reality. As Boosie dreams of a tenth child and Nelson prepares for motherhood, fans wonder if wedding bells will ring before another gender reveal appears on their feeds. One thing is sure: this couple knows how to keep everyone talking.
