Coast 2 Coast – Song by Lil Baby featuring Fatt Smaxk & Bally Baby

Alexander Cole — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 17:15:59 +0000

Lil Baby is looking to drop an album soon, and that means singles are on the horizon. “Dead Fresh” has proven to be a viral success for him, although not totally for the right reasons. Many have felt that the song is more of a meme than anything else, especially with the Pharrell production. However, his new song “Coast 2 Coast” is something else entirely. With Fatt Smaxk and Bally Baby backing him up, the Atlanta superstar comes through with a triumphant track. At this time, it is unknown whether or not this will end up on Baby’s next album. Although what is for sure is that more music is on the horizon.

Release Date: October 7, 2026

Genre: Hip-Hop

Album: N/A

Quotable Lyrics from Coast 2 Coast

Finesse the bank or make a song
Or a swing a door, that’s how it go
Blood, sweat and tears, I got two kids, that’s what I hustle for
You know damn well we did that first, I just ain’t pressed to post

A 25-year-old suspect in an attempted murder was nabbed by police at Trippie Redd’s South Florida home, per TMZ. Davie Police Department said that they executed a search warrant at his home on Tuesday, though at the time, they didn’t reveal the reason behind it. However, the Miami Police Department now confirmed that they arrested Braveone Jones, better known as BalloutDaDon, in connection with a shooting last month.

Police say Jones was wanted for his alleged involvement in a shooting outside Dukunoo Jamaican Kitchen in Miami on September 15. Authorities said that Jones was at Trippie’s property at the time of the raid, leading to his arrest. He now faces two counts of attempted murder.

Miami-Dade County’s online records say Jones remains in custody in connection with a case involving two counts of attempted second-degree murder involving firearms. The records list bail at $15,000 for each charge. Ultimately, the City of Miami led the investigation while the Davie Police Department assisted in the search warrant.

Trippie Redd Affiliate Arrested

According to NBC Miami, the September 15 shooting left an 18-year-old man and a 23-year-old man with gunshot wounds. Video footage of the aftermath of the incident swiftly circulated online, showing people rushing to assist the injured before paramedics arrived at the scene. Officials later confirmed that the two men were treated for their injuries, though they were in serious but stable condition once they arrived at Jackson Memorial Hospital’s Ryder Trauma Center. There wasn’t much information available surrounding what happened before the shooting occurred.

BalloutDaDon is a budding rapper who inked a deal with HAB ENT. The Trippie Redd affiliate has been dishing out plenty of music this year, including the release of two projects, Yopstar and Yopstar Lyfestyle 2. He also appeared on a stream with N3on.

Official Photos Of The Air Jordan 11 “Green Screen” Are Here

Ben Atkinson — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 16:33:00 +0000

Official photos of the Air Jordan 11 “Green Screen” are here, and Jordan Brand went all in on the theme. The pair releases November 14th for $255.

This is one of three Air Jordan 11s celebrating the 30th anniversary of Space Jam. It’s also the strangest of the pairs, in a vibrant and colorful way.

The inspiration comes from behind-the-scenes footage of Michael Jordan filming against a green screen. Jordan Brand turned that idea into a full green sneaker.

Soft green leather covers the toe, sides, and heel. A rougher suede texture shows up on the tongue and lace area. The lace loops also stay green, and a white Jumpman on the tongue adds a small pop.

The fun details are underneath. The outsole glows in the dark, and the insoles show Jordan dunking over a Monstar.

Pairs are expected through SNKRS and select Jordan Brand NBHD stores, which usually means tighter supply. The style code is IQ5700-900. Also at $255, it also costs more than the standard “Space Jam” 11, which is $235.

The “Green Screen” 11 takes a different approach to the anniversary. Instead of retelling the original, it nods to how the movie was made. That’s a new angle for a film that mixed live action with animation.

Jordan Brand is celebrating Space Jam all holiday season. The standard “Space Jam” 11 arrives December 12th, and a Galaxy version is expected too. Tyler Reddick’s Monstars NASCAR car is part of the same theme.

A glow-in-the-dark sole and a loud, all-green upper will divide people. Some will love it, and some will skip it. Either way, it’s the kind of pair that gets talked about.

Resale is worth watching because the hype is always going to be high for an 11. Don’t be surprised if this one resells for well above retail. Jordan Brand is definitely leaning into the 11 this year, and this one might be the most vibrant one yet.

Rihanna Reveals How Many Unreleased Songs She Has In The Vault

Alexander Cole — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 15:43:53 +0000

Rihanna has not released an album since 2016’s ANTI, and fans want that to change. R9 has reached mythological status, and until Riri actually makes an announcement, fans are going to continue to yearn.

Recently, Rihanna was at a Fenty Beauty event. It was here that she was asked how many songs she is sitting on. The artist actually gave a pretty honest answer, with a ballpark of roughly 170 songs.

“If there are 10 products [in the Gloss Bomb Vault] then I have at least 17 Vaults,” Rihanna said. The “at least” suggests that there could be a lot more than 170, although at this point, who’s counting?

It’s a large number, and overall, it proves that Rihanna has been making music over these past 10 years. While some fans are curious about her desire to release new music, there is no denying that the creative edge is still there.

Throughout these past 10 years, Rihanna has been focused on different endeavors. She is heavily involved in her Fenty Beauty business. Moreover, she has been raising her family with A$AP Rocky.

Ultimately, she just hasn’t had the itch to drop a new album. Even with all of the anticipation, there hasn’t been a single moment when an album actually felt close to happening. While that is unfortunate, fans are simply being asked to respect the decision.

There is still a possibility that Rihanna drops new music in the future. However, don’t expect R9 to be released anytime soon. Instead, you will have to continue exercising patience.

Tory Lanez Upgrading Tour Venues After Massive Success In NYC

Aron A. — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 15:37:36 +0000

Tory Lanez isn’t allowing his prison sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion to prevent him from giving his fans an experience. The Brampton rapper launched the “Not On ‘Tor,’ Tour” in New York City on September 25th, followed by events in Los Angeles, DC, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh. Obviously, he can’t physically attend these concerts, but the “tour” served as a listening party in support of his recent album, and the New York City show proved that demand was high.

As a result, they will have to upgrade the venues to accommodate the demand.

“NY was INSANEEE … We now have to upgrade all cities to bigger venues. LA just upgraded to a larger venue , & put new tickets on sale in the bio,” a post on Tory Lanez’s Instagram page reads. “For Pittsburgh and New Orleans, tickets are being refunded until new dates and bigger venues are secured.”

The tour has consisted of listening parties, DJ sets, and guest appearances. In New York, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Bobby Shmurda, N3on, A$AP Ferg, and Pressa were all in attendance. With his upcoming events in Los Angeles, DC, New Orleans, and Pittsburgh, he’s bound to have several more guests pop up on stage.

However, this series of events hasn’t gone down without backlash. Many fans have expressed their condemnation of these live events due to the nature of Tory Lanez’s conviction. It ultimately became a topic of debate on a recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, where co-hosts Marc Lamont Hill and Mona said that they couldn’t support the initiative because of the case. However, QueenzFlip argued otherwise, stating that Tory is innocent and pointing to specific evidence that he believes points to the Canadian rapper’s innocence.

The “Not On ‘Tor,’ Tour” continues in Los Angeles on October 15th at Catch One. From there, it will head to Washington, DC’s Culture on October 22nd.

50 Cent Confirms Lil Meech Was The Reason “BMF” Was Canceled

Aron A. — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 14:34:23 +0000

Da’Vinchi has been all over the timeline recently for his appearance on The Funky Friday podcast but it was his comments on the trajectory of BMF that caught the attention of 50 Cent. During the interview, the actor who played Terry “Southwest T” Flenory admitted that his co-star, Lil Meech, was the reason why their hit show was ultimately cancelled.

Evidently, the public comment brought forth a strong co-sign from 50 Cent, whose issues with Lil Meech and his father, Big Meech, are well-documented.

“No lies detected Meme was throwing up at weapons test because he was high. Spent all his money pretending to be his dad off camera, and kept getting in trouble im bailing him out of jail to get him on set to shoot, and snitching on his friends,” 50 Cent wrote.

During the interview, Da’Vinchi said that the show likely would have continued had it not been for Lil Meech’s behavior off set.

“I think that Curtis Jackson’s biggest thing was that it was really hard to contain Demetrius Flennory Jr.,” he said, adding that he has nothing but love for his former co-star. “You was like a private school kid, went to college, figuring life out, and now, your life just blew up. I don’t know what that’s like, and I can not sit here and say if I was in a situation, I would have done better.”

BMF had a strong four-season run, though the rumors about its run were plagued by external factors, it seems. Lil Meech’s off-set controversies and public feud with 50 Cent, which became an extension of his father’s issues with Fif, appeared to contribute to the issue. However, Deadline previously reported that 50’s feud with Big Meech wasn’t the reason for the cancellation, though it did create unease among the cast and crew about how long the show would go on. At the time, they suggested that Starz’s CEO planned to save money on content by creating new shows rather than sustaining their current roster of series since they become more expensive over time.

Billboard Billy – Song by Bruiser Wolf & Harry Fraud

Alexander Cole — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 14:14:38 +0000

Bruiser Wolf and Harry Fraud are two artists who have always had tremendous respect for one another. Whenever Bruiser Wolf drops, it feels as though he has Harry Fraud’s production along for the ride. That is certainly the case on the newest single “Billboard Billy,” which is their second single in as many weeks. This new song contains some dope sample loops from Harry Fraud, whose production is unmistakable. Speaking of unmistakable, Bruiser Wolf comes through with a fantastic performance, featuring his signature flow. It’s a flow that can be difficult to take in at first, but once you get it, it all begins to click.

Release Date: October 7, 2026

Lil Wayne & Drake Are Sitting On A Vault Of Unreleased Collaborations

Aron A. — Wed, 07 Oct 2026 13:51:14 +0000

Will Drake and Lil Wayne ever release a joint project together? That’s to be determined, but by the looks of it, the chances seem slim. That doesn’t mean there’s any shortage of music. During a recent interview on The Joint Venture Show, Lil Wayne revealed that they have a vault of unreleased music, dating back to 2014.

“We have a whole bunch of unreleased material. I go through stuff from 2014 and 2015, like… really unheard stuff,” Wayne revealed. When asked if there’s a possibility of an official release, Wayne sounded hopeful. “I edit stuff up and just send it to his phone so he can hear the new versions of it and get him going.”

Apparently, Drake constantly responds enthusiastically, asking when they plan on releasing it. Hopefully, the two can lock in some time to actually make these records see the light of day.

It’s, unfortunately, been a minute since the two of them have been on the same track together. The last time was on Certified Lover Boy’s “You Only Live Twice” in 2021. They also appeared on Nicki Minaj’s “Seeing Green” that same year.

The talks of a collaborative album aren’t new by any means. Back in 2011, Drake confirmed that they scrapped plans to drop a project together due to the success of Watch The Throne. However, roughly eight years later, Wayne suggested that the idea could be back on the table during an interview with Vibe.

“We’re both doing what we do, but he already know,” Wayne said of the possibility of a joint mixtape. “We still text and send songs here and there, change a verse because he killed me or change a verse ‘cuz I killed him. It’s still the same competition.”

Evidently, the process hasn’t changed much, but fans could only hope that we’ll at least get a new song from them in the near future.
