SAINt JHN’s New Album Features Are Insane

SAINt JHN had one of the most random, yet deserved, breakout stories of the year. Though he has been bubbling on the scene as one of the most proven, talented songwriters in the business, the 34-year-old artist hadn’t tapped fully into the mainstream pop market, which kept him as an “underground” favorite for years. 

With the tremendous success of “Roses” in 2020, a four-year-old song, SAINt JHN is finally getting the recognition that he deserves.

He has been teasing the release of his new album While The World Was Burning, abbreviated to WTWWB for short, for the last few weeks. The album was expected to release this month but, unfortunately, it was pushed back so SAINt JHN could lay down the finishing touches. Considering the fact that he’s been chilling regularly with Kanye West in Atlanta, it made sense that he would want to delay the album a bit to throw the Chicago legend on there.

Finally, it looks like SAINt JHN has revealed the full list of features on his upcoming album and, honestly, it’s looking like it has the potential to become an album of the year candidate.

“I had no intention on making this collection,” reveals the artist, who was likely pushed to drop a full-length project after “Roses” went 67-times platinum around the world. “Thank you to all the people that contributed their art. Kanye West, Lil Uzi Vert, JID, DaBaby, A Boogie, Future, 6LACK, Kehlani. And thank you to all the people that said no! The struggle is part of the process! We made this While The World Was Burning.”

There you have it. His album is looking packed and we can’t wait to find out the updated release date.

Tony Yayo Opens Up About Bearing the Weight of 50 Cent’s Beefs

HonkMagazine

In the ever-changing world of hip-hop, friendships and loyalty are crucial. For Tony Yayo, loyalty isn’t just a catchphrase, it’s part of who he is. In a recent interview with VladTV, the longtime G-Unit member shared his thoughts on supporting his close friend and music partner, 50 Cent, even when things get tough. Yayo understands that being loyal to 50 Cent sometimes puts him in challenging situations, often leading to confrontations that don’t directly involve him. He candidly points out, “I know that people might target me just because they’re upset with 50.” It’s a reality he’s learned to accept.

In the music industry, there’s an unspoken rule that being loyal can come with sacrifices. For Yayo, this often means dealing with conflicts from those who see him as closely connected to 50 Cent. Despite facing disrespect through feuds and insults, Yayo remains steadfast, refusing to let outside pressures influence him. Rather than feeling bitter, Yayo approaches his experiences with a positive mindset. He recognizes that loyalty can be costly. “There are no rules in this game,” he remarked, highlighting the unpredictable and sometimes harsh nature of the industry. For him, the key is to stay smart and focused.

Yayo’s down to earth attitude is evident as he underlines the importance of perseverance. “I’ve faced a lot in this industry, and I just try to remain humble and keep pushing forward,” he shared. His strong mindset shows that while drama often grabs attention, it also reveals true strength. As fans of G-Unit know, the relationship between Yayo and 50 Cent goes beyond just music. It’s a brotherhood built on years of loyalty and shared struggles. While some may see Yayo as just a side player in 50’s conflicts, he views himself as a committed soldier, ready to face whatever challenges arise.

Kanye West Sparks Outrage With Explosive Rant Against “Kardashian Mob” Over Parenting Struggles

HonkMagazine

Kanye West is back in the news, but this time, it’s not for his music. Instead, he’s making headlines because of his explosive comments. Recently, he’s targeted the “Kardashian Mob,” which is how he refers to his ex-wife Kim Kardashian and her family, claiming they are getting in the way of him being a good father to their four children. Kanye shared his frustration in a passionate Twitter rant, saying, “I don’t want to just ‘see’ my kids. I need to raise them, and I want a say in where they go to school and who their friends are.” He accused Kim and her family of using their influence in media, backed by companies like Hulu and Disney, to undermine his rights as a father.

This isn’t the first time Kanye has spoken out against the Kardashian clan, but his recent comments were particularly harsh. He compared his time with his kids to visiting someone in prison and made offensive remarks about Jewish people, which has caused significant backlash. Rather than starting a meaningful conversation about the challenges many dads face in custody battles, Kanye’s words have led to more criticism against him. People are upset about his attacks on Kim and his antisemitic comments. This pattern isn’t new; Kanye often uses social media to express his frustrations.

After a disappointing reception for his latest musical project, VULTURES, fans probably hoped he would return to his creative roots. Unfortunately, his recent behavior continues to push him further away from the beloved artist he once was, as he seems to be putting his energy into arguments instead of music. While it’s clear that Kanye’s feelings about fatherhood are deeply personal, his harsh language only adds to the divide. For someone who played such a significant role in music history, will Kanye be able to return to his music and find the redemption that his legacy needs?
