The fans have been waiting for this project since 2019, check out the artwork below. You can preorder the album today on his website right here.
Bobby Shmurda is expected to be out this time next year. From Page Six:
The 29-year-old “Computers” rapper, also known as Chad Marshall, was released on parole Tuesday after spending nearly four years at the Collins Correctional Facility in Erie County near the Canadian border for weapons charges, state Department of Corrections records show.
The Brooklyn-born crooner was initially arrested in 2014 alongside rapper Bobby Shmurda and other members of their GS9 crew on a slew of murder, drugs and weapons charges, Complex reported.
Rebel and Shmurda later took a plea on conspiracy to possess weapons and possession of weapons charges and were each sentenced to seven years behind bars, the outlet reported.
In August, Rebel had a successful meeting with the Board of Parole, which granted an early release date of Dec. 15, 2020, and allowed the rapper to finish out his sentence under community supervision, the outlet reported.
Even as he was behind bars, Rebel, who has an estimated net worth of $100,000, didn’t stop making music. He recently appeared on Pop Smoke’s song “Make It Rain” after delivering verses via a collect call.
As seen on TMZ:
The feds say an anonymous tip led them to Wayne’s PJ at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on December 23, 2019, and when they boarded to speak to the passengers … Wayne told them he had a gun in his bag.
Police say they found a gold-plated Remington 1911, .45-caliber handgun loaded with 6 rounds of ammunition. They also claim they found a bag containing personal use amounts of cocaine, ecstasy, and oxycodone.
Lil Wayne pled guilty to the gun charge Friday in Miami, and his sentencing is scheduled for next month. Weezy, who was convicted of a felony gun charge in NY back in 2009, is now facing up to 10 years in prison.
However, he’s likely to get leniency. Our sources say Wayne agreed to the guilty plea and in exchange, the government agreed to recommend a lighter sentence because he’s accepting responsibility. Ultimately, his sentence will be up to a judge, but it’s a good sign for Tunechi.
As seen on NBA Miami:
Rapper Zoey Dollaz was injured in a shooting after leaving a party in Miami Beach early Thursday.
The 30-year-old rapper, whose real name is Elvis Milford, was shot while driving on the Julia Tuttle Causeway, his manager confirmed to NBC 6.
Florida Highway Patrol officials said the shooting happened just after midnight when a black Mercedes sedan, which the manager said was being driven by the rapper, entered westbound I-195 from Alton Road.
Authorities said a silver SUV pulled alongside the Mercedes and someone fired multiple gunshots, hitting the rapper in the leg several times.
A female passenger in the car wasn’t injured, authorities said.
The Mercedes turned back to Miami Beach and the victims flagged down an officer on 41st Street, officials said.
“The victim stated he was coming from a private party in Miami Beach but did not have any altercations prior to the shooting incident,” FHP said in a statement.
As seen on NBC New York:
Twenty-five-year-old Artist J. Dubose, also known as A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, was charged with one count of unlawful possession of a handgun and one count of possession of marijuana following a search warrant at his Demarest home Monday, which resulted in the seizure of four guns — specifically a Ruger .380 handgun, a Glock .40 caliber handgun, an H&K 9mm handgun, and a Smith and Wesson 9mm handgun – hollow point bullets, various high capacity magazines, as well as marijuana, hashish oil edibles and drug paraphernalia commonly associated with the distribution of controlled dangerous substances, prosecutors say.
Dubose was arrested following the search warrant, as was Quashaun Hagler, a 33-year-old of Buford, Georgia, employed as personal security.
From the Miami Herald, where you can read more on the story:
Celebrated rapper Lil Wayne was charged Tuesday with possessing a firearm and ammunition as a convicted felon stemming from his holiday trip to Miami on a private plane last December, when authorities discovered the weapon during a search of the jet.
Lil Wayne, who owns a home in Miami Beach, is expected to have his first appearance in federal court in Miami on Dec. 11. He was charged with one count and faces up to 10 years in prison if convicted.
As a convicted felon involving a decade-old case, Lil Wayne wasn’t supposed to have a firearm on him during his travels to Miami last year. But investigators said the South Florida rapper, appearing high, admitted to owning a gold-plated pistol found in luggage during a search of his private jet just before Christmas of last year, according to state court records.
He told Miami-Dade police and FBI agents that the gun had been given to him as a Father’s Day gift, according to a copy of the search warrant obtained in January of this year by the Miami Herald.

Police say a total of 16 people were arrested on drug and firearm charges in Baton Rouge on Monday, Sept. 28.
Among them was chart-topping rapper, NBA YoungBoy, whose real name is Kentrell Gaulden.
Gaulden faces drug possession, drug distribution, felon in possession of a firearm, and stolen firearms charges. Police say all 16 face similar variations of the same charges.
“Kentrell is not guilty of any crimes,” the rapper’s attorney, James Manasseh, said in a statement released Tuesday, Sept. 29. “There’s nothing in the report that indicates that he did anything wrong. They arrested several people and there was no indication that he had any guns or drugs on him at the time of the arrest. I ultimately believe he will be found innocent in all of this.”
Earlier this month, the rapper’s sophomore album, Top, earned the No.1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart.

Legendary Georgetown coach John Thompson Jr., known simply as “Big John” throughout college basketball, has died at age 78.
Thompson, who led Georgetown to the 1984 national championship, built the program into a juggernaut, taking the Hoyas to three Final Fours in the 1980s while also winning seven Big East titles and leading the 1988 United States national team to a bronze medal in the Olympics.
“We are heartbroken to share the news of the passing of our father, John Thompson, Jr,” the Thompson family said in a statement released by Georgetown. “Our father was an inspiration to many and devoted his life to developing young people not simply on, but most importantly, off the basketball court. He is revered as a historic shepherd of the sport, dedicated to the welfare of his community above all else.
“However, for us, his greatest legacy remains as a father, grandfather, uncle, and friend. More than a coach, he was our foundation. More than a legend, he was the voice in our ear everyday. We will miss him but are grounded in the assurance that we carry his faith and determination in us. We will cherish forever his strength, courage, wisdom and boldness, as well as his unfailing love.
“We know that he will be deeply missed by many and our family appreciates your condolences and prayers. But don’t worry about him, because as he always liked to say, ‘Big Ace is cool.'”

First Of All I Wanna Say I Really Appreciate Best Lawyer In This Shit He Got My Best Interest & Big Love For My Big Cousin / Manager ❤️ We Gone To The Next Level Let’s Get It Baby That Time Finally Came I F*ckn Made It
Shy Glizzy forged a partnership with 300 in 2014, after his first charting single, Awesome, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 that same year. The independent label, distributed by Atlantic Records, was co-founded by executives Kevin Liles, Lyor Cohen and Todd Muscowitz. Cohen and Muscowitz both left 300 in recent years. Cohen took a job at YouTube, and Muscowitz went on to found competitor label Alamo Records.
Glizzy took a notice to No Savage, who is from Shy’s neighborhood of 37th Street, Southeast recently. In the past month, Savage announced a signature cannabis strain, and dropped a new video on Worldstar with L.A.’s Dro Fe. Last year, No Savage, and Young Jose, who both were previously affiliated with Glizzy Gang, had a very public feud with Shy that went viral, and was detailed in the Fader. Thankfully, a neighborhood disagreement that got out of control was squashed, and Savage and Shy both have promised upcoming projects.
No Savage has been building his buzz since 2018, with millions of views on YouTube, and thousands of followers and monthly listeners on Instagram and Spotify. Big congrats to No Savage…definitely looking forward to what’s next for him in the future.

From the Los Angeles Times, where you can read the full story:
Two adults and two teenagers were charged with murder on Monday in the shooting death of rapper Pop Smoke inside a Hollywood Hills home earlier this year.
Prosecutors said Corey Walker, 19, and Keandre Rodgers, 18, killed the rapper in the course of a robbery at a multimillion-dollar home on Hercules Drive in February, according to a news release issued by the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office.
A 17-year-old and a 15-year-old defendant were also charged with murder and robbery in juvenile court, according to prosecutors. Their identities were withheld because of their age.
Los Angeles police arrested three adults and two teenagers in connection with the shooting last week. The LAPD initially identified a third adult suspect, Jaquan Murphy, but he has not been charged in Pop Smoke’s death. Capt. Jon Tippet, who heads the LAPD’s Robbery-Homicide Division, said Murphy would face murder and attempted murder charges in an unrelated string of shootings that took place in South L.A. earlier in the year.

Large-scale protests over the death of George Floyd erupted for a second day on Saturday in D.C., with clashes between law enforcement and protesters escalating dramatically as the sweltering night went on.
Lafayette Park and other areas around the White House were the main flashpoint as the day’s peaceful protests turned chaotic, prompting the Park Police to mobilize the D.C. National Guard Saturday evening.
At least one car was set on fire. Some demonstrators smashed windows on the facade of the Ronald Reagan Foundation and Institute. Fireworks went off on multiple occasions. Police and Secret Service pushed protesters back as the crowd moved again and again toward Lafayette Park, repeatedly using chemical sprays. As the night turned into the early morning, stores in several neighborhoods were looted.
