Black Thought Has Released His 1st Ever Solo Project & It’s Everything (Audio)




Black Thought has partnered with 9th Wonder to release a project outside of his award-winning, critically-acclaimed work with The Roots.
Beyond his consistent, yet demanding gig with the hardest-working band in show business, including a daily spot on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon along with an acting career, the man born Tariq Trotter has often avoided the spotlight by choice. That all changed when Thought made a late 2017 appearance on Funkmaster Flex’s HOT 97 freestyle platform. Going off the rails, the South Philadelphia product demonstrated why he deserves to be cemented atop many Heads’ best MC lists.
Now Thought teams with 9th Wonder and his Soul Council for Streams Of Thought, Vol. 1. Grammy Award-winning 9th is also said to be at work on The Roots’ next LP and has made big noise with Tariq two years ago alongside Styles P in “Making A Murderer,” which is included in the five-song project. Meanwhile, the Soul Council presently includes Khrysis (of The Away Team), Nottz, Eric G., Kash, E Jones, and Reflection Eternal’s Hi-Tek.
If Kanye West releases his eighth album later today as reported, June 1 may grow to be a memorable day in Hip-Hop history. It may join the annals that include July 2, 1996 (Nas’ It Was Written and De La Soul’s Stakes Is High), September 11, 2007 (50 Cent’s Curtis and Kanye West’s Graduation), and June 18, 2013 (Kanye West’s Yeezus, J. Cole’s Born Sinner, and Mac Miller’s Watching Movies With The Sound Off).

Nicki Minaj “Chun-Li” SnapChat Filter An Instant Viral Hit

Nicki Minaj creates a new “Chun-Li” Snapchat filter and it instantly became a viral hit. Everyone is bumping Nicki Minaj new hit “Chun-Li” these days and it’s not just her female fans, so it makes sense she continues to milk it before her album arrives. The track is her biggest in the past few years and is currently sitting at number 28 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and peaked at number ten. Been a while since Nicki actually had a solo top ten record. Sources close to the Trinidadian rapper told Urban Islandz this weekend that Nicki Minaj and her team created the SnapChat “Chun-Li” filter to help push the single. The song has been certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and is on it’s way to platinum certification after seeing an uptick in streaming. So perhaps the new marketing push is working. Nicki Minaj has been really busy on the scene since returning from her social media hiatus for the first three months of the year. She lan...

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...
