O.T. Genasis Calls Malika Haqq His “Dog” When Asked About Rekindling Romance
It came as a surprise to the public when it was revealed that O.T. Genasis and Khloé Kardashian’s best friend Malika Haqq were having a baby, but they’ve managed to make things work. The friends-turned-lovers-turned-co-parents speak highly of each other in the media and have welcomed their bundle of joy, Ace, into the world. O.T. Genasis can’t get enough of sharing images of his mini-me on social media, and because he and Malika have such a good relationship, some people have wondered if there is a chance of reconciling in the future.
Recently, the Long Beach rapper sat down for an interview with The Shade Room and was asked if he could see himself on day reuniting with his ex. “Malika is my…you know obviously that’s my son’s mother,” said Genasis. “But she was always my dog, my friend. Even when we’d be, like, getting into it, I let her have her thing. That’s my dog, it is what it is.”
“As far as that goes, we just chillin’ right now, man,” he continued.”She doin’ her, I’m doin’ me. We ain’t really like, on that right now. We’re just trying to figure out where our lives is going. I’ll never talk bad about her in the media or do none of that. We family now, bro. We always gotta be together.” The rapper went on to reiterate that no matter what happens, he wouldn’t do anything to embarrass her. Check out his clip below.

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.
