This new release from Drake is going to come with four new songs, including the remix to “Choosin Texas” with Don Toliver. It is the kind of thing that Drake fans have been clamoring for, and it has finally arrived.

Meanwhile, Quavo and Pharrell are coming through with QRÖMELIFE, which could very well be a later contender for album of the year. Additionally, we are getting a Divine Feminine 10-year anniversary edition from Mac Miller. NoCap and Victori Monet are also dropping albums tonight.

In a dramatic trailer shared on social media, she revealed that the project, titled Watch Dis, is personal and pushes back against the doubt she’s faced throughout her career. 

“This album is personal. This is me betting on ME,” Yung Miami wrote. “I’ve been counted out before… I know what that feels like. But I also know what it feels like to prove everybody wrong. WATCH DIS!”

The trailer opens up with comments from Joe Budden and Akademiks while highlighting headlines from Complex and Hot New Hip Hop. The album has been in the works for two years, and the trailer showcases her relentless grind in the studio and the evolution of the narrative around her name, from being counted out as an artist to dominating the summer with “Spend Dat.”

“A lot of people give up before they get to the finish line. I ain’t giving up,” she says in the trailer.

So far, we haven’t received a confirmation on a release date, but considering the recent press run that she’s been on, it looks like she’s gearing up to drop something before the year comes to an end.

Yung Miami Announces Debut Album

In an interview with Billboard this summer, Yung Miami revealed that much of this project goes back to her roots in Miami.

“I wanted to go back to my roots and what inspires me about being from Miami; the culture and the music and the environment shaped me to be who I am today,” Yung Miami said. “This album is about everything I’ve been through and pulling myself out of survival mode to get back to a space to create. I’m definitely going there, but also having fun. I surprise myself whenever I listen to it; I cry, I dance, I’m actually gagging myself. I really created an album! People are about to eat their words.”

Check out the trailer above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments below.

Earlier today, it was reported that Rick Ross was arrested on battery charges in Miami. The artist turned himself in to Miami-Dade County police after a woman called on Tuesday about an alleged domestic violence incident. These allegations are consistent with similar claims made by Jazzma Kendrick over the weekend.

The woman alleges Ross woke her up and slapped her in a jealous rage. Furthermore, the woman claims Ross continuously asked if she was in a relationship with another man. Whenever she would say no, Ross would allegedly slap and choke her.

Ross remains in custody at this time, but has pleaded not guilty to the charges. Meanwhile, 50 Cent is already poking fun at the rapper.

In the Instagram post above, 50 Cent wrote “LOL ARRESTED” with a laughing emoji for good measure. Clearly, the legendary artist finds all of this amusing, as it is another case of one of his foes being put behind bars.

However, there is a very real alleged victim here. The allegations against Rick Ross are incredibly serious, and that should be top of mind right now.

This is currently a developing story, so stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from the music world.

You have to wonder why Drake would go in this direction. Perhaps he is trying to bring more attention to the HABIBTI album, as it has been lost in the shuffle of ICEMAN and MAID OF HONOUR. Furthermore, the songs he showed off during the FOMO short film were more R&B-focused, which aligns with the HABIBTI vision.

Either way, four new Drake songs are coming tonight. Included in that are two Don Toliver collabs, “Solar Eclipse” and “Cold Shoulder.” The former of these two is supposedly the “Choosin Texas” remix.

What Time Does FOMO Drop?

Drake FOMO HABIBTI Deluxe is set to be released tonight at midnight EST. That means the four songs will be dropping in about 13 hours from the time of writing this. If you are wondering how you can listen to these four new songs, all you’ll have to do is go to Drake’s page on either Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, or wherever you stream music.

This is going to be an interesting moment for Drake and his fanbase. The artist has been dominating the charts this year. Without him, hip-hop’s mainstream output would be struggling a lot more than it already is.

That said, there are a lot of reasons to be excited tonight, especially if you are a Drake fan. If you’re a Drake hater, let’s be honest, you’re probably also tuning in as well.

According to the report, he entered the suite around 6:30 p.m. and was open to interacting with anyone. He was reportedly taking selfies and keeping the seats at his table open in case people wanted to join him.

However, in the video that surfaced, staff held back the Highest 2 Lowest director after a person requesting a selfie asked him to say “F*ck Palestine.” “Why’d you come over to me?” Spike said as he was being restrained. That person was eventually kicked out. The video shows someone in a blue shirt demanding they leave, saying, “You’ve gotta go. You’ve gotta go.”

A source said that the individual was “absolutely wrong,” and “ruined our f**king meal.” The director ultimately continued his night without any other public issues. He sat right behind the Yankees dugout during the first-round series opener against the Boston Red Sox.

Spike Lee Restrained At Yankees Stadium

Spike Lee’s support for the Palestinian cause has been well-documented, but it’s also caused him backlash in the past. At the NBA All-Star Game in Los Angeles earlier this year, Lee made his stance clear when he sported a keffiyeh-patterned sweater and had a Palestinian flag on the bag he was carrying. That also caused a rift in the media, leading him to issue a statement.

“There Has Been Some Conjecture About What I Wore To The Games on Saturday and Sunday,” he wrote. “The Clothes I Wore are Symbols of My Concern For The Palestinian Children and Civilians, And My Utmost Belief In Human Dignity For All Humankind. What I Wore Was Not Intended As A Gesture Of Hostility To Jewish People Or To Support Violence Against Anyone, Nor Was It Intended As A Comment On The Significance Of Deni Being An All-Star.”

According to an update from TMZ, Rick Ross actually surrendered himself to the police. He was accused by a former girlfriend of hitting her on August 28, stemming from an alleged jealous rage. The woman claims Ross took issue with a photo she was tagged in on social media.

Subsequently, Ross allegedly slapped her, and then struck her every time she denied being in a secret relationship with another man. The woman also alleges that she was choked and slammed into a wall as Ross grabbed her ponytail.

These allegations were made to police in a phone call on Tuesday, and are consistent with the account given by Jazzma Kendrick over the weekend. However, police have not confirmed if the alleged victim is, indeed, Kendrick.

Rick Ross Arrested

At this time, Rick Ross has pleaded not guilty to both charges. However, he currently remains behind bars and has already posed for a mugshot, where he was seen wearing a colorful floral shirt.

Quotable Lyrics from Drake Who

I’ll cook u something shrewd
I’ll take that hammer n a nail
And show this world Why you fail
To make mе cry
N succeed to make me sigh
Wherеs the depth I’ll say it twice
What happens when fire meets ice?

Some of these song previews eventually made their way to YouTube. This subsequently led to fans clamoring for a streaming release. Earlier this week, Drake confirmed that on Friday, we would be getting some of those songs on Spotify, Apple Music, Tidal, and elsewhere.

At the time, it was unclear how the songs would be packaged. Would they be loosies? Would they be on an album called FOMO? On Thursday morning, we seemingly got our answer.

According to outlets like On Thin Ice, FOMO is actually the name for Drake’s HABIBTI deluxe edition. The HABIBTI Deluxe will include four songs, including “Solar Eclipse” with Don Toliver, which has been pegged as the “Choosin Texas” remix.

Drake To Drop FOMO Tonight

From there, “Cold Shoulder,” “Quebec,” and “Classic PT2” will also be on the project. Two of the four songs will feature Don Toliver, which is great news for fans who have been waiting for these two to collaborate.

Some may find it disappointing that only four of the songs will be released. However, Drake is someone who oftentimes leaves tracks on the cutting room floor, even when fans don’t want that to be the case.

Going into tonight’s release, it will be interesting to see if there are any big changes to these songs. Given how the FOMO previews cut off, we could see some fleshed-out versions of these tracks, which is an exciting prospect.

Let us know how excited you are for the HABIBTI Deluxe in the comments below.

That said, there is at least one man in Canada who wants to change that. This man is none other than The Dotted Line, who recently came out with his very own diss track against Drake, titled “Drake Who.”

In a previous preview on social media, Drizzy decided to leave a comment, saying “I’m actually f*cking shook.” More recently, The Dotted Line showed off the entire track, which led to Drake writing, “Nah when you said it melts… almost had me there…almost.”

Drake Reacts To The Dotted Line

Drake has always been known for having a sense of humor, and that is especially true here as it pertains to The Dotted Line. Having said that, if you listen to “Drake Who,” you will immediately realize that the song is a parody of some sort. From the flows to the lyrics, it’s hard to believe someone made this with complete sincerity.

Parody disses can oftentimes be pretty funny, especially when they are being chirped by the targeted individual. In this case, that’s Drake. Either way, it is fantastic promo for The Dotted Line and his music.

Tonight is a big one for Drake, as he is set to release FOMO, which is reportedly a deluxe version of HABIBTI with four new songs. If you’re a fan of the mega star, then tonight is going to be a whole lot of fun.

As for The Dotted Line, who knows what he has planned next.

The trial was given a placeholder date of October 5. It became clear that this date would never materialize given the fact that Durk was also given a bond hearing on November 4. For the last couple of weeks, there has been speculation about a delay, and on Wednesday evening, that speculation was officially confirmed.

According to Michael Blackshire, prosecutors filed a motion to delay the trial. Judge Fitzgerald granted the motion, and now, Durk’s VICAR trial will take place on August 30, 2027. That means Durk will have to wait almost an entire year before seeing the courtroom again.

Lil Durk Trial Gets A New Date

While Lil Durk still has a bond hearing in a month from now, there is no telling whether or not he will be granted his freedom. His fans remain optimistic that this will be the case. That said, the VICAR charges are serious and come with life in prison as a potential penalty. With that in mind, securing a bond could prove difficult, even after beating his previous case.

Durk’s legal team consists of Brian Steel and Drew Findling, who were praised for their work on the murder-for-hire case. They have worked with the likes of Kodak Black, Diddy, Young Thug, and even YNW Melly.

The upcoming VICAR trial will be the make-or-break moment for Durk and his current legal situation. If acquitted, he will secure his freedom once and for all.
