Wale – “Ghetto Speak” (Video) & “Mission Statement”

Wale just dropped two INCREDIBLY short heaters for fans to enjoy. The above clip is an offshoot from his Cherry Blossoms Foamposite campaign and features plenty of D.C.’s finest artists and creators. Below, Folarin tapped T-Minus for an equally dope drop.

Please, PLEASE: Let there be more where this came from (and we’re not counting his upcoming tour and MGM extragavanza, either).

RIP Rich Homie Quan

Damn, bro. Our whole generation is in straight turmoil. From NBC News:

Atlanta rapper Rich Homie Quan, who burst onto the hip-hop scene in 2013, died in Georgia, authorities said.

The Fulton County Medical Examiner said in a statement that Atlanta’s Grady Memorial Hospital notified its personnel Thursday of the rapper’s death.

He was 33, the office said.

A cause and manner of death was not released. An autopsy has been scheduled for Friday, the medical examiner said.

The artist, whose given name is Dequantes Devontay Lamar, scored a big hit more than a decade ago with the song “Type of Way.” He followed it up in 2015 with “Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh).”

Rapper Boosie Badazz posted about his friend’s death on social media.

He said the two had “GOOD ASS MEMORIES TOGETHER N THAT GO ALWAYS BRING A SMILE TO MY FACE. #restupquan.”

Boosie Badazz said the two artists were collaborating together before Rich Homie Quan’s death.

Rich Homie Quan’s family and his management representatives could not be reached for comment Thursday afternoon.
