    JNR CHOI, the British-Gambian artist based in London with a monster 2021 hit ‘To the Moon’ under his belt, has returned with a new track about ending a relationship, so he doesn’t waste precious time. Unfortunately, whatever they shared is over, driving her to call him repeatedly (as seen on the official cover art). It’s sad to feel how he feels, but he’ll live.

  • BIA and Lil Yachty team up for ‘Pissed Off’: Watch the visual

    Sub central.

    BIA, one of the industry’s gifted rappers, released the official music video to her track ‘Pissed Off’ featuring Lil Yachty today. From the start of the high-tempo track, she promises death will show its head, targets someone’s “baby mama” — calling them out for being a slut and asks who’s taken a whore for a wife. Although we’re sure the interwebs are going to make suggestions and piggyback off of what Offset alleged about his former wife-to-be, Cardi B, we cannot confirm who the Boston native songwriter has decided to attack, but whoever it is has genuinely pissed her off.

    For his verse, Yachty decided to slide on the Lil Rich production and talk about drugs and monetary profit, the soft body belonging to an alluring woman, and all of his friends being rich.

    As a result, thankfully, we’ve received another party banger to dance to this Winter or Summer — depending on what part of the world you’re living in. Watch the optimal visual below to see the rapper dripping in fur and a swimsuit. The multi-platinum rapper, BIA, has joined Nicki Minaj on the second leg of her ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’, which is currently underway.

    [media-credit name=”Instagram” link=”https://www.instagram.com/p/Ctys9oBNWaV/?hl=en&img_index=5″ width=1080 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    According to BBC, British rapping star Digga D has a date for the hearing at Lincoln Crown Court on December 23 in the United Kindom. The hearing is to determine whether the star was distributing drugs on a commercial scale or not. The twenty-four-year-old rapper pleaded guilty to the charges, only admitting to having a “social supply.” The artist, real name Rhys Herbert, was raided by the police on February 21 whilst broadcasting on Instagram Live.

    “There was simply no evidence of any wider criminality committed by Mr Herbert,” Hebert’s defence barrister, James Scobie KC said.

    Reportedly in July, Lincoln Crown Court was told the quantity of cannabis imported by Herbert was around 3kg (6.6lbs).

  • Algeria reinstates VISA requirements on Moroccan nationals

    According to Reuters, the authorities in Algeria have resumed VISA requirements for people from Morocco. The report states that Algerians are accusing its neighbours of “abusing VISA-free entries to allow criminal activities over the border in a fresh measure against Rabat.” Two decades ago, both countries lifted the requirements. As of Thursday, Morocco has not released a statement.

  • Kairo, the Nigerian-American identical twins signed to Def Jam, release new music ‘Special*Break Bread’: Listen

    It’s giving a rebirth of the infectious Jazzy Hip-Hop and Progressive Rap popularised on the East Coast, the millennials grew up loving so much.

    [media-credit name=”Instagram” link=”https://www.instagram.com/p/C_L204YyN10″ width=1440 align=”center”][/media-credit]

    On September 18, the Nigerian-American musical duo Kairo released three new records under Take & Thrown Records/Def Jam Recordings. Seemingly, the Texas-bred twins find inspiration from popular sounds released in the mid-eighties to the late nineties, compositions promoting carefree, coming-of-age moments synonymous with house parties. On the first track ‘Special’, EJ and his brother AK bring someone back down to earth by letting them know they aren’t uncommon (‘Nice try, thinking that you’re special”).

    The title track ‘Break Bread’ is a funky love song, with directions on how to love them (“Love me for me, that’s all I need is”) and a motherly warning about preserving themselves and not mixing with the ‘hood boys to stay out of trouble. The third and last record, ‘Brand New’ is an uptempo cut that addresses interracial dating from the start, playing it cool and acting different, and more. If you appreciate the golden era of Hip-Hop, you may enjoy it.

    The three-pack is light-hearted dance tunes — perhaps made to lighten the mood, make you feel good and forget what’s happening in the world — all in under ten minutes. I don’t know about you, but most of us could use a break from the news cycle and the political drama occurring in the United States (don’t forget to vote and register to vote if you haven’t registered yet). Listen to the tracks below, and lose yourself in the music.
