DMX Has Died at 50

Image
 According to a family representative, DMX has passed away. The musician was taken to the hospital on April 2 in White Plains, New York, following an alleged opioid overdose and subsequent heart attack. He was 50 years old at the time. DMX was born Earl Simmons in Mount Vernon, New York, but grew up in Yonkers, New York. Growing up in an oppressive family and spending time in boys' homes and, later, juvenile prisons, he had a tumultuous childhood. He began composing music while staying at one of those boys' homes, ultimately teaming up with producer Ready Ron. RIP to DMX, a true legend.

Beanzy Is Back With New Song "Ms. Crazy" Produced by Bobby Sacramone!

Image
 Just a couple of months after Beanzy and Bobby Sacramone released their second full length album, they are back with a summer smash titled "Ms. Crazy." Backed by a smooth guitar loop over some Bobby Sac drums, Beanzy finds himself singing more than rapping in this particular song, a shift in tone from some of his other work. This song will surely be a nice song to listen to in the summer! https://song.link/us/i/1560335413

EMINEM SAYS HE SPENT $600 ON NAS 'ILLMATIC' CASSETTE TAPE

  Over the weekend, Eminem was on the Clubhouse app to promote his new gathering, ShadyCon, which featured NFT auctions.  Eminem ended up talking about his extensive memorabilia collection. Em said in a statement prior to the Clubhouse meeting, "I've been collecting since I was a kid, everything from comic books to baseball cards to toys, as well as every rap album on cassette I could get my hands on." “As an adult, not much has changed for me.” When Eminem arrived in the Clubhouse area, he was asked to elaborate on the subject, which he gladly did, but one piece of memorabilia stood out: an unopened cassette tape of Nas' classic debut Illmatic, which Eminem said he paid about $500 or $600 for. I have been collecting Eminem memorabilia since I was 11, so this was very exciting even though everything was $500-$5,000 (the grand prize ended up selling for $100,000)
