Drake Announces New Album

Leave a reply

Drake posted a pic of himself wearing a black jacket with the words “Scorpion” written on top and the date “June Twenty Eighteen” written underneath.

  

📀 JUNE 2018

A post shared by champagnepapi (@champagnepapi) on

Hey guys, Im back and better than ever with the most up to date entertainment news with a dab of my perspective! Well, while I was scrolling down my timeline I came across a post Drake made that seems to provide his fans the title of his up coming album and the date of release!  

In the picture its Drake wearing an all black varsity type jacket, Drake has his back to the camera so all you can see is the back of the jacket which states “Scorpion” then under it states “June Twenty Eighteen” and lastly ending with “By Drake”.

I am not surprised by this post for Drake has released two singles for which his fans can assume will be featured on a new album. The first single “God’s Plan”, dropped a couple months ago, that documented him traveling around the city of Miami blessing people with the million dollar budget he was supposed to had spent for the video.

Then just almost two weeks ago he dropped another single titled “Nice For What” that gives me that New Orleans bounce feeling, and I swear I heard a Big Freedia sample. What makes the video to this song so special is instead of Drake using the normal formula, women shaking their asses, oh no! Drake was actually celebrating powerful and successful women, for example, Rashida Jones, Olivia Wilde, Tracey Ellis Ross and more.

I do wonder what Drake has planned for this album, which is titled the name of his horoscope, Scorpio. After these two singles, which both provided a message, I have a feeling that the rest of this album will continue with this vibe. What ever has inspired Drake to come thru with such positive images during this time of the “Me Too” movement and women big ups lately, provides his fans with a refreshing sound, but still worthy to be played in the club type of music.

Getting To Know Annie-O

Leave a reply

I had the great oppurtunity to interview up and coming artist, Annie-O last week!

 

I had the pleasure of getting to interview Camp Loyalty artist, Annie-O,a rapper hailing from Detroit, but has now made Atlanta her new home. At 26, Annie-O is not just your typical female rapper, she also is experienced in music production, videography, and audio engineering for other independent artists as well as for herself.
An artist who is a May birthday like me, and sounds very confident & takes her career very seriously. So serious that she migrated to Atlanta, a city known for providing way more oppurtunities for furthering music careers.

Annie-O, who in her spare time finds fullfillment in giving back to the community, has two hot singles out. I got to speak on Annie-O regarding her single “By Myself” produce by Dre Beatz. Annie-O, short for Annie Oakley, raps about the fact of learning that in life you find that its best to do things by yourself and for yourself. I know that is a topic that i know so well, and Annie-O stated that she had to learn to learn that lesson too! Once the lesson was learned the artist admits that life has been moving in a positive direction which that can be an empowering message all women.

Last Sunday, Annie-O, was a featured guest on one of the stations shows, Hit Or Miss. We got to feature her other hot single called, “GBM”, produced by Kongo Beats shows the more raw version of her. GBM which stands for Gangsta Bitch Music, shows the reason why Annie-O will be a household name one day.

Persistence & consistency is the key to success & Annie-O is on the goal to make this happen. Annie has said “I want to be considered the rose that grew from concrete, that one who made it against all odds and after everyone said I was just a typical female rapper, I really have no limits. I want to take this as far as life will allow. The grind to be the greatest is never over”. Annie-O stated that she has alot of great things to be looking forward to in 2018, and wants all of her fans to stay tuned!

2 Chainz Announces New Album “Rap Or Go To The League”

Leave a reply

 

2 Chainz announces new album “Rap Or Go To The League” during NBA All-star weekend.

About a week ago 2 Chainz’s surprisingly dropped an EP titled The Play Don’t Care Who Makes It  which included four songs that I assumed will be on his next full length album that is coming soon, but I did not know when nor what the album title will be, until this weekend when he dropped the news.

2 Chainz already has a radio hit collaboration that includes, Kendrick Lamar, Saudi & Schoolboy Q, called “X” from off the Marvel Comics movie, Black Panther, soundtrack. 2 Chainz is well known for having a lot to say will continue with more on this new album.

The scheduled released date has not been mentioned yet so stay tuned!

LA Clippers Tease Quavo With A 10 Day Contract

Leave a reply

 

The LA Clippers teased Quavo with a 10 day contract after becoming 2018’s NBA Celebrity Game MVP!!

On Dj Vlad site, they caught Balleralert comment creeping up under Quavo’s twitter post, and pointed out how the L.A. Clippers commented “We got that 10 day contract for you when ever your ready”

This type of announcement should not come off as no surprise for Quavo scored an amazing 19 points during the game that led to his team winning the game! Quavo Huncho had 7-10 FG, 5 rebounds with 3 assists! He almost knocked NBA 2K host, Rachel DeMita, out her shoes when he blocked her shot!

Quavo, being the talk of the night, was so excited about his win that he even brought his MVP trophy out with him to The Beats By Dre party!

Being a major fan of the Migos, I been knew that Quavo was very athletic & during his down time he stays active by continuing to play sports. Quavo, whose real name is, Quavious Marshall, was the starting quarterback for Berkmar High School. During his high school years Quavo led the county in passing yards and set game records.

According to Bleacherreport Quavo’s former coach, John Thompson, believed Quavo was a great player and was quoted as saying “He was a joy to coach; he made it fun,” Thompson adds. “The thing they all had to learn was that for me, to be on time you have to be five minutes early. Quavious would always walk in exactly five minutes early and smile that little grin he has: ‘Coach, I’m here!’ I think sometimes he did it just to aggravate me, but he was always there. He was a prankster.”

Even though the LA Clippers were making a joke, they know that if Quavo was not a part of the Migos, he will prolly take the deal! While watching the game I thought Chris Brown was going to be the show off for the game, like he usually do! SIKE!! Quavo proved me wrong!

I do believe that once the Migos reach a certain level of fame, Quavo will return back to his roots and will start a little league team like Snoop Dogg did years ago. When you’re blessed with talent, its only right to spread those blessings back to our youth for they are our future!!

Jamie Foxx Walks Off During Live ESPN Broadcast

Jamie Foxx walked off during a live ESPN broadcast when host asked about Katie Holmes!

Jamie Foxx, actor, was in the middle of prepping to play for the NBA All-Star Celebrity Game on Friday night until Sport Center’s Michael Smith tried to interview him, but due to asking the wrong question, the interview ended abruptly.

It seemed as if the beginning of the interview was going well! Jamie Foxx was seen in the video saying “I’m ready-made, all you gotta do is add water,” he told an ESPN reporter on the court. “They’re ready to pour some water on me and I’m ready to rock!” until Smith mentioned about photos of Jamie Foxx and rumored girlfriend, Katie Holmes, were seen together playing basketball on Valentines Day. Once mentioned, Foxx, who had on a headset, quickly went to take them off, stood up, smiling at the camera, not uttering one word went back to the court looking like he was ready to play!

“Uh oh, did we lose him?” Smith said as Foxx was seen beginning to stretch out on the court. “Oh, he ready to go, he ready to hoop.”

While the Oscar winner did not return to finish his interview, he did look like he was still in great spirits while standing next to singer, Justin Beiber. SELRES_51b87a0d-fd44-4073-804f-eb1dde24662cTMZSELRES_51b87a0d-fd44-4073-804f-eb1dde24662c made sure to catch the video of the quick interview, which I have posted above.

I have no idea why the media is shocked about Jamie’s reaction, he has always been very private about his personal life! I remember I did not know he had a child until he was nominated for an Oscar back in 2005, and brought her as a date. Think about it….we still have no idea who her mother is! I do respect that he wants to keep the relationship with Katie silent. Their was a time when Katie was constantly in the news about her marriage with Tom Cruise, their child together, and even the break up! I believe she is another individual who prefers to keep her personal relationship quiet too! I can not list off the top of my brain as to whom she dated in her past prior to Tom Cruise!

Well, peers if you did learn anything from Jamie Foxx short interview is to not question about his personal life regardless if he with Katie Holmes or not allow him to be the one to make the initiative! We here at 216 The Beat wish both Katie Holmes & Jamie Foxx the best!

No mention of the track list yet, but we can assume that “Motorsport” featuring Nicki Minaj & Cardi B, and the new club single produced by Pharrell “Stir Fry” will be included on the album.

As for who will be producing the album we will have to wait patiently for that until then Quavo did deny rumors of Kanye West being a guest producer.
