Young M.A “Bleed,” Kevin Gates “M.A.T.A” & More | Daily Visuals 12.3.18

(Photo by Dave Kotinsky/Getty Images for Pandora) Seems like just yesterday Young M.A was the toast of the town when she had everyone going “Oooouu!” and though she’s since cooled off but today she returns with some hard hitting work to remind everyone she’s a problem with the pen. In her clip to “Bleed” the Brooklyn rapper takes her talents – and her drink – from the parking lot to her apartment where she drops bars so hard her shorties can use ‘em to pleasure themselves. From the east to the south, Kevin Gates takes Donald Trump’s bullshi*t phrase and makes it his own as he comes through with a red hat we can all get behind in his visual to “M.A.T.A” (Make America Trap Again). Check out the rest of today’s drops and some joints you might’ve missed over the weekend including work from Young Buck, Birdman and Jacquees featuring FYB and King Issa, and more. YOUNG M.A – “BLEED” KEVIN GATES – “M.A.T.A.” YOUNG BUCK – “BOX OF BULLETS” BIRDMAN & JACQUEES FT. FYB & KING ISSA – “DEPEND” RAVYN LENAE – “THE NIGHT SONG” ILHAM FT. ARIN RAY – “CYCLE OF GAMES” KEY! – “BOSS” YUNG BABY TATE – “THAT GIRL” DENZEL CURRY – “SUMO” VALEE FT. MATT OX – “AWESOME”

DJ Akademiks Swears He’s Not The Tekashi69 Confidential Informant

Read more here:

Source: Earl Gibson III / Getty DJ Akademiks got hit with the snitch tag by the Internets. However, the Everyday Struggle co-host insists he is not the confidential informant in the federal case against Tekashi69 and his now former Treyway affiliates.  Akademiks was accused by a Hip-Hop blog of being the loose-lipped informant, which went as far as saying Tekashi’s former manager and co-defendant  Kifano “Shotti” Jordan’s lawyer is who fingered him as the snitch. Worth noting, Shotti is one of the voices heard allegedly plotting to harm his former client on a federal wiretap . However, TMZ heard from the lawyer , Scott Leemon,  who claims he never said such a thing. Akademiks also spoke to TMZ, and vehemently denied the claim. Akademiks told TMZ he has “zero connection to this criminal case against Daniel Hernandez & other co-defendants. I view them as good people to me.” He added, “All these charges are a shock to me and do not involve me. I have never been questioned or much less cooperated in this. I am just a news reporter.” Also, no, he’s a not a news reporter. But what Akademiks did do is recklessly bring up Casanova’s name on Twitch. This, despite the Brooklyn rapper squashing his beef with Tekashi69 months ago. hes on Twitch… pic.twitter.com/6MzQAlqTHK — Mig-L (@M1guelCh1nes) November 28, 2018 Sometimes it’s best to say nothing at all. That’s probably something Tekashi69 is thinking about as he sits in a cell thinking about what went wrong as he faces life in prison.
