JIM JONES SIGNS WITH JAY Z’S ROC NATION

Jones has put aside past differences with Hova and has signed on with Roc Nation. The announcement was made via Instagram. While it’s not known if this deal is for management or distribution, it’s clear that this deal is one that is a great look for the Dipset master. There’s more on the way…we’re sure of it. In the meantime, here’s some new heat from Jimmy.

DRAKE HAS SOME WORDS FOR DONALD TRUMP AT A LIVE SHOW

Drake tore into Trump at a recent show this past Sunday in London. It was surprising, as Drizzy doesn’t usually insert himself into politics. But it’s just proof of how the new President moves people to speak their minds, good or bad. He went as far as to say that if anyone thinks that one man can tear this world apart, “you’re out of your muthaf___ing mind. It’s on us to keep this s__t together. F___ that man!” Ouch. Here’s the full Drizzy rant.

It’s been a long time coming, but maybe we will finally get the project we want from one of hip hop’s most promising new voices. Listen to his latest song, “Legend”, below.
