Trump Slams Jay-Z & Beyoncé During Campaign Rally

Trump’s received an uptick of support from rappers in the weeks leading up to tomorrow’s election. Lil Wayne emerged a Trump supporter last week and was shortly followed by Kodak Black. Meanwhile, Lil Pump threatened to leave America if Trump isn’t re-elected and somehow, he thought that would sway more people to vote red.

Trump’s rally in Avoca, PA found him taking aim at a few major celebrities who’ve endorsed the Democrats including Lady Gaga who he claims to know “a lot of stories” about. Despite the recent support from major figures in the rap community, he’s still hung up about Jay-Z and Beyoncé’s support of Hillary Clinton in 2016. Leave it to Trump to butcher Queen B’s name, though.

“They got Beyonsee and they got Jay-Z,” Trump said of the Democratic party. The crowd began booing as soon as Trump started name dropping these celebrities.

“Right, Jay-Z? Right? And he started using the F-word. Do you remember? In front of this crowd? And it was unbelieve. He was using the f-word, f-word, f-word. And the crowd just goes — and then they left and the crowd left and Hillary was standing on the stage with an empty place since she was talking,” he said.

This is far from the first time that Trump has taken aim at Jay-Z in the past. POTUS took offense after Jay-Z described him as a “superbug” on CNN.

“You don’t take the trash out, you keep spraying whatever over it to make it acceptable,” Jay-Z told Van Jones of Trump’s racist comments. “As those things grow, you create a superbug. And then now we have Donald Trump, the superbug.”

Per usual, Trump lashed out on Twitter just minutes after Fox and Friends reported the comments. “Somebody please inform Jay-Z that because of my policies, Black Unemployment has just been reported to be at the LOWEST RATE EVER RECORDED!” He tweeted.

We’ll see if Donald Trump wins the re-election.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 makes a stand for afrobeat against corruption on latest release Na Dem feat. Tom Morello.

Seun Kuti & Egypt 80 deliver a powerful afrobeat statement with “Na Dem,” Featuring Tom Morello and produced by Femi Koleoso. The track has been a fan favourite even before its official release, and comes with the unmistakable spirit of protest, truth-telling, and social accountability that have long characterized Afrobeat’s most impactful moments.

The song’s heart is a direct challenge to corruption and the abuse of power. Instead of singling out one profession or institution for its critique, “Na Dem” identifies a larger culture of dishonesty, targeting bad lawyers, bad doctors, bad politicians, and anyone who would sell their integrity for personal gain. The message is sharp and uncompromising and delivered with the urgency that has become a hallmark of Seun Kuti’s artistry.

The inclusion of Tom Morello adds another level of intensity to the record. His presence adds to the song’s rebellious energy, creating a powerful intersection between the rhythmic activism of Afrobeat and the confrontational edge of rock. The result of the collaboration is a track that is both timeless and of the moment.

The song’s dedication to principle is what rings true. The moral center of the record is Seun’s statement that he would never prostitute his conscience for money. It turns “Na Dem” from a critique into a declaration of personal values, responsibility, and resistance.

Deaf Radio returning to a place that feels familiar but has changed on “No Place Like Home”

Deaf Radio offers a deeply affecting experience with “No Place Like Home,” a haunting meditation on grief, memory, and the enduring connection between family and place. Rather than a story of loss, the song invites listeners into the emotional experience of returning to a place that feels familiar but has changed.

It’s an open letter to the people, the moments that used to make home. It captures the unsettling experience of walking into a house where everything is still there, the clothes, the scents, the light streaming through the windows, but the person who gave those details meaning is gone. There is only a lingering ache that fills every room.

It’s a complex emotional journey that runs just under eight minutes in “No Place Like Home.” Its structure does not allow for repetition, each section uncovering another layer of feeling. The song begins with a hushed looping arpeggio and the striking line “your tough mother’s love”, immediately setting a deeply personal tone. From there, it spills out into spare, humane verses before exploding into ninety seconds of crushing guitars and feedback that feel like grief breaking through emotional constraint.
