Samson Brown releases his new single “Till The End”
VANCOUVER, BC, March 24th, 2021 — “Till The End,” a new single from up-and-coming hip hop artist Samson Brown, has officially hit streaming platforms. Written by Brown and produced by Saad & Tory Danhousen, the edgy and provocative hip hop track can now be streamed and playlisted via Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and more.
A departure from Samson’s typical R&B style, Till The End showcases Brown’s maturity as an artist into a more aggressive and confrontational hip hop genre. The rising Vancouver-based rapper’s captivating cadence and vocal flair are set to act as a catalyst for what looks like a crazy year for the young artist.
Brown blends his boundary-pushing vocals, akin to artists like JPEG MAFIA and DoeBoy, with heavy and intoxicating electronics and a cadence that can be easily traced to his influences from 2Pac and Biggie Smalls.
“This song is very different from most of the other songs that I’ve recorded in the past, it’s more aggressive and really edgy. I wanted to give my listeners a different and new type of vibe that they never heard from me before,” says Brown.
The rising star, who has over 24k followers on Spotify, recorded the track in Toronto and says he was inspired by the mood he was locked into in the city. The narrative is inspired by an innocent one-night-stand that blew out of control. “I hooked up with a girl from the bar and it turned out she had a boyfriend that wasn’t pleased to find out in the morning,” says the artist.
Raised in Edmonton after immigrating from Ghana, Brown started making music at the age of 13 on his Windows ‘98 computer, mixing songs on OG software Mixcraft. Brown says although he cites old school hip hop as his main inspiration, he is also inspired by how much the genre has evolved over the years. ”The whole culture—it’s grown so much, and I’m pleased to be a part of it,” says Brown.
“Till The End” is the first of many upcoming hip hop singles that Brown is dropping this spring. Listen to the new track here.

DJ Akademiks questions if Lil Durk will get bond as the racketeering case goes on
Lil Durk’s legal battle is about to take another big step, and DJ Akademiks is already sharing his expectations for what could go down when the rapper returns to court in November.
Durk is in custody, awaiting his next VICAR case in which authorities say he was running a criminal enterprise. His next trial was set for October 5, but recent developments have called into question when those proceedings will occur.
Durk’s murder for hire trial recently resulted in a not guilty verdict in November. Regardless of that outcome, he remains in custody because the separate racketeering related charges remain unresolved. Durk’s attorneys have asked for the new hearing and have been ordered to appear by U.S. Probation and Pretrial Services, which also must submit a fresh bail report.
Against that backdrop, legal commentator Bradford Cohen had previously suggested Durk could eventually get bond. That view ties in with Durk’s not-guilty verdict in the earlier case, and the argument that the outcome could make it harder to sustain the remaining allegations.
DJ Akademiks sees things a bit differently. In a recent livestream, Akademiks predicted that Durk would not get a bond at the Nov. hearing. He believes the charges will stick and cites the seriousness of the allegations in the VICAR case as his reasoning. He also doesn’t appear to expect the rapper to be released from jail anytime soon as the case moves forward.
Akademiks’ prediction concerns the bond hearing, not Durk’s chances at trial. Durk’s legal situation remains unresolved for now. His recent acquittal has altered the circumstances of his arrest, but the separate racketeering case still looms over the rapper as both sides prepare for the next phase.

DJ Akademiks Resurrects 2015 Drake vs. Meek Mill Beef With Alleged Nicki Minaj Backstory
DJ Akademiks is digging up hip-hop history buried for 10 years as he offers his supposed explanation for how the Drake/Meek Mill feud came to a head in 2015. The back-and-forth between Akademiks and Meek Mill has resurfaced the conversation. Akademiks returned to the long-running Drake-Meek beef on his stream last night, saying a comment by Nicki Minaj had something to do with what happened between the two rappers.
According to Akademiks, Meek and Minaj were shopping at a designer fashion store when they got to the register. He says that when Meek told her he didn’t have the cash to pay for Minaj, she allegedly told him he would never be Drake. Akademiks also claims Minaj left the store on her own, and then Meek went on X, and what happened next started the infamous feud with Drake.
The account remains an allegation, not a confirmed explanation. The information provided has not been independently verified, and ultimately only those involved, including Minaj and Meek Mill, could confirm the story’s authenticity.

The beef between Drake and Meek Mill started in 2015 and has become a staple in hip-hop conversation. Meek struggled after the fallout, while the beef became a defining moment in Drake’s career. However, the two eventually made up and collaborated on “Going Bad,” signaling a return to a more cooperative relationship despite the rivalry’s tension.
Now that Akademiks and Meek are throwing shots again, the events of 2015 are back in the conversation. By reflecting on the feud, Akademiks has added another possible piece of context to a story that has been a hot topic in hip-hop for years.
Whether his version of events is what actually happened, however, remains unresolved. Currently, the designer-store story isn’t factual, but it is Akademiks’ version of the events surrounding the beef.
