Tekashi 69 Sinks To A New Low In A Mocking Post About King Von’s Death

Via YouTube Tekashi and Von’s mentor Lil Durk have had a troll war over the past few months, but 69 may have crossed the line. …

Tekashi 69 has long been a problematic pain in the ass, but rap fans are calling foul on his latest stunt, as it’s even more disrespectful than usual. Under a post about King Von’s death, Tekashi commented with a crying laughing emoji, mocking Von’s friend and mentor Lil Durk as he apparently discovered the news from commenters on his Instagram Live stream.

69’s animosity toward Lil Durk goes back a long-ish way, stemming back from 69’s initial rise in 2018 when he seemingly instigated beef with just about every Chicago rapper. Earlier this year, after Tekashi was released, Durk alleged that Tekashi’s new management tried to pay him to participate in a troll war with the rainbow-haired troublemaker as a form of promotion. While he claims he turned the money down, the troll war ensued anyway, with Tekashi trolling Durk at every opportunity and Durk more than happy to return the favor, clowning Tekashi’s disappointing album sales total.

As King Von was signed to Lil Durk’s label, Only The Family Entertainment, apparently Tekashi found amusement in the way Lil Durk learned that King Von had been shot in Atlanta. As Durk and his crew turned up in their car, a screen capture shows fans posting about the shooting to try and get his attention. It takes him a while to notice the comments and a look of concern shoots across his face as he cuts the stream. Surely, Durk is in some distress by now, as his artist and friend was gunned down. Tekashi reveling in his pain has hip-hop fans up in arms as they deplore his ugly behavior.

US3R’s ‘Dopamine’ Delivers a Hypnotic High with Pulsating Synthwave and Raw Emotion

US3R

US3R has carved out a signature sound by seamlessly blending industrial pop, electronica, and alternative rock, and “Dopamine” is a prime example of his ability to push sonic boundaries while staying deeply personal. The track’s immersive synth layers create an intoxicating atmosphere, while hypnotic beats pulse like a racing heartbeat, mirroring the highs and lows of an insatiable craving.

His vocal delivery is both commanding and vulnerable, drawing the listener into the song’s emotional core. There’s an almost cinematic quality to the way he builds tension starting with a sultry, seductive energy before peeling back the layers to reveal something raw and unfiltered. It’s an experience one that mimics the rollercoaster of seeking pleasure, only to be met with the inevitable crash.

The production is a masterclass in contrast. Crisp, futuristic synths shimmer against moody undertones, while tight percussion drives the track forward, keeping the momentum alive. It’s the kind of track that wouldn’t feel out of place in a neon-drenched cyberpunk film or pulsing through the speakers of an underground club at 2 a.m.

At its core, “Dopamine” is about human nature itself. It taps into that universal feeling of wanting more, chasing euphoria, and dealing with the consequences that come with it. US3R gives us something to feel, to reflect on, to lose ourselves in.

With “Dopamine,” US3R proves once again that he’s crafting sonic experiences that linger long after the last note fades.
