Over the weekend some positive news that happen was the rapper Tip Harris also known as TI recently covered 23 inmates that had nonviolent offenses against them reports read that first time prisoners were released. He joined up with VH1 love and hip hop, new birth missionary Baptist church and scrapp Deleon to fund this miracle of a story and actually made up to 120,000 dollars in donations for the release of 7 men and 16 female inmates. One of the men who was let go said “I was in disbelief when they called my name” another man of the program said “ it’s like a whole clean slate for me” he went on to say “I just wanna do right and be a model citizen”. Good deed after another, tip also said that the other portion is for a college fund for kids of returning citizens of the program.

With everything going on in country music, the latest to hit the scene was a artist by the name of Lil Nas X who’s been tearing up headlines by creating a rapping country song this past year. He’s not your typical country artist due to the fact that he’s rapping over a country beat and the sound is definitely different from regular music that country music fans are used to. He was recently nominated for the song but unfortunately didn’t win because to some the song wasn’t “country enough”. The song has made the three different billboard charts such as Hip Hop/Hot R&B and Hot country songs and has charted the 100 billboard and since he redid the song, he added some help to assist with the tone of the song. He choose Billy Ray Cyrus as the feature to help him attain the country song that everybody so desperately wanted and everyone knows what Billy Ray has done for country music so with him asking him for a feature could do him the artist Lil Nas some justice.  This isn’t the first time rap has made a cross over with country music, back in 2009, artist Nelly made a song with Tim McGraw called over and over, which did good for both as their careers grew even more from creating this song, so the sky’s the limit for Lil Nas X if he wants to continue down that route.

Last week a sad day came upon us when the rapper and icon, nipsey hussle was gunned down in front of his own store in Crenshaw, California. Some may not know how his impact really touched a lot of people all over the world and not just inside of his city. The incident occurred March 31st when nip as people called him, was out front of his store conversing with a couple of his homies one which actually just got out of jail and nip was trying to give him some clothes since he came home. One of nip ex friends happen to show up and from the media outlook, the person who actually took Nipsey hussle’s life was a known rat (snitch) and was also a crip just like Nipsey. According the outlets, nip didn’t want the guy around considering the fact that he was an informant and the person of interest which was his killer, didn’t take liking to that and felt disrespected in a way and before you knew he came back and shot Nipsey and one his friends. Nipsey was shot in the head and torso while his other friend was shot in the leg. In the video footage caught from a camera in the parking lot, you can see the gunman shoot Nipsey in head and stomach and then proceeded to run from the scene. Nipsey was definitely a pillar for the community, he was trying to infiltrate different business such as his own, start companies and was even working on a documentary on the cure for cancer from which a doctor named Alfredo brown as known as Dr. Sebi was also killed over. People believed it was the government who was trying to eradicate this from happening and things started to make sense because it wasn’t gang related due them being in the same gang. It’s sad to see this happen and honestly it’s all a big plot to me that something bigger then we think or know is coming.
