Not nearly as much but he been grinding. Today he continues to drop off work with a new clip for the Gunna assisted “Dirty Shoes” where Thugger brings the thunder and lightning with a touch of red light specialness. We know it sounds all over the place but watch the video and you’ll see what we mean. 2 Chainz meanwhile thinks Big and employs the “Sky’s The Limit” theme of having young versions of himself, Quavo, and Drake perform their verses for the clip to “Bigger Than You.” We would’ve preferred to see the actual artists on the same set but the video is still pretty entertaining. Check out the rest of today’s drops including work from N.O.R.E., Llyod, and more. YOUNG THUG FT. GUNNA – “DIRTY SHOES” 2 CHAINZ FT.

John Stillwell – PA Images/PA Images via Getty Images DJ Quik Reflects On Michael Jackson’s Influence At His Diamond Celebration In Las Vegas It’s hard to believe it’s been nearly a decade since Michael Jackson passed away, but his influence continues to reach far and wide. Bossip’s Senior Director of Content Janeé Bolden attended Michael Jackson’s Diamond Celebration in honor of what would have been Jackson’s 60th birthday a few weeks ago, where guests enjoyed a live performance of Michael Jackson’s “ONES” show at Mandalay Bay and an afterparty deejayed by Mark Ronson, where Usher performed. Besides taking in the performance, we also had a chance to chat with Michael’s brothers Tito and Jackie Jackson about Jackson’s legacy and hear DJ Quik reveal he nearly had the chance to open for Michael. Judy Eddy/WENN.com “He would be smiling down at this event,” Tito told BOSSIP. “We’re very excited to celebrate his birthday and his legacy with all the celebrities who’ve come out tonight.” Jackie modeled a pair of new Giuseppe Zanotti x Michael Jackson sneakers as the designer himself also walked the red carpet. “It’s a new shoe, it comes out in October,” Jackie told BOSSIP. “It’s just one style of it, but I dig it. I’m going to wear it onstage too.” When asked if the family had any plans for a private celebration of Michael’s 60th, Tito reminded us that much of his family doesn’t believe in such commemorations. “As you now, half of my family is Jehovah Witness,” Tito said. “And the ones that do celebrate, you’re looking at them right now.” Besides Tito and Jackie, Michael’s oldest children Prince and Paris were also in attendance. Other celebrity guests included Gabrielle Union, Vanessa Hudgens, Blake Griffin, Usher, Angela Bassett, Evan Ross and Ashlee Ross Simpson and rapper/producer DJ Quik. Quik told us he was especially happy to join MJ’s Diamond Celebration because he’d nearly been an opener for the pop superstar at one point in his career. “I never got a chance to see Michael live,” DJ Quik told BOSSIP. “My opportunity came when his promoter Terry Harvey called me to open some of his shows that he was going to do at the O2 Arena back in 2009. I was stoked. I had just put out a record with Kurupt and we were on a promo tour. Our promo tour started June 25, 2009 [the day Jackson died] so you know what day that was. While we were soundchecking, we get the news we’re not going to Europe and performing with him.” “I was out of it,” Quik added. “I don’t even know if I performed. I was hurt.” Quik took a moment to stroll down memory lane with us, remembering back to the first time he saw Jackson’s “Thriller” video: “We didn’t have cable at that point,” Quik told BOSSIP, “so I was across the street at my homeboy Billy Ray Smith’s house watching it on their cable TV — you know, back when the TV’s used to sit on the floor? One of them big RCA or Zenith TVs and being moved by it.” “We had seen all the rock’n’roll videos, Def Leppard and all that, but when his video came on it spoke right to us. It let us know that black people could do it.” Judy Eddy/WENN.com Asked to describe which Michael Jackson song best reflects his life, Quik, born David Blake, didn’t hesitate a beat. “‘Human Nature,’ because that record describes the whimsical part of life,” Quik said. “Michael Jackson was a dreamer and he was all about ooh’ing and aah’ing people. That record just has some kind of quality in it that lets you know you can be magic too.” With Prince and Paris Jackson in attendance and accompanied by his own son David Jr. Quik also took a moment to reflect on the importance of legacy. “It’s important because nobody is going to represent you like the people that you raised,” Quik said. “You can hire people publicists all day long and tell them to run this or run that, but when my son speaks about me he is going to speak from the heart. He’s going to speak about the personal experiences and public.” Quik’s son is also a producer and the Compton native said he couldn’t be more proud of him. “This kid is awesome. He did it on his own,” Quik boasted. “I didn’t have to tell him hey son do this or do that. Now I ask him for beats. ‘Can I rap on it one time? I still got it son, I think I still got it.’Now he’s performing, he’s engineering. I’m really proud of the stuff he does behind the scenes, he’s in the studio teaching other people how to engineer, how to patch wires… He got it honest.” Check out more photos from MJ’s Diamond Celebration below:

In preparation for an upcoming EP , Eryn has dropped her new single “Feel the Need.” Eryn shows off her vocal dexterity in the track with smooth notes and an emotional climax that boldly asks “don’t you feel the need for love?” You can check out the song for yourself below! Eryn’s next musical efforts follow her widely celebrated EPs Aviary: Act I in 2015 and Aviary: Act II in 2016. Both projects were independently released and gained over 15 million streams and counting. With the two releases, Eryn gave us hints of her vocal prowess on tracks like “Have Mercy” and “How Many Times.” One of her biggest highlights also came when she was featured on a track with the one and only Prince. And we all know Prince doesn’t work with everybody. The Purple One chose Eryn to be featured on his song “Baltimore,” dedicated to Freddie Gray and the 2015 Baltimore uprising. In an interview with Global Grind , Eryn described her experience working with Prince saying, “At first it was really scary, and then it became a thing where he [Prince] felt like an uncle.” Eryn also bumped creative heads with Chance the Rapper in Chicago before anyone really knew of his music. “I knew Chance before Sasha Go Hard or any other Chicago artists,” Eryn said. “We started doing music together and then it snowballed. Once you start doing music with one person in Chicago, the word kind of gets around.” Now two EPs and a Prince feature later, Eryn is ready to expand her territory. But she still hasn’t seemed to lose her down to earth vibes. When she announced the cover art for “Feel the Need” on Instagram, she said, “I didn’t have any good ideas for cover art so I searched through my phone and found this pic my mom sent me a while back…it fit. Wallah.” Feels like the perfect match to us. Be sure to check out “Feel the Need” on Youtube and other streaming services listed here.
According to a revealing new report, Meghan Markle and Prince Harry are very busy these days. Doing what, you may be wondering? Doing EACH OTHER, a possibly reliable source claims! Indeed, with rumors circulating around the Internet that Markle is already pregnant with the couple’s first child, this insider tells Hollywood Life that such claims are premature. There is no small human growing inside Markle’s womb. Not yet anyway. But this doesn’t mean Harry and his relatively new wife aren’t doing all they can to make it happen. They totally are. They are totally engaged in some Royal Railing as often as possible. “Harry is having the best time of his life with his new bride,” some random person who apparently knows every thing tells Hollywood Life, adding: ” Meghan and Harry are enjoying non-stop baby-making sex at all hours of the day. ” It’s unclear just how this person knows that Harry is sticking his scepter inside Meghan’s throne (if you know what we mean!), but Hollywood Life seems pretty confident in its report. And this person seems very much aware of what sort of sex schedule is being kept by the gorgeous Prince and Duchess. “Meghan has an app on her phone that tracks of her fertility, so when she is most likely to conceive, her and Harry make the most of their time together,” the article states. Over the past few weeks, chatter of Markle’s alleged pregnancy has grown stronger than ever. It’s inevitable that the couple will conceive; it’s only a matter of when the blessed event will happen and if Great Britain will survive the chaos that ensues on the baby is confirmed. Oddsmakers and gambling websites across the ocean are banking on an announcement maybe coming as soon as this weekend. But the aforementioned insider explains that Markle is not actually knocked up yet — although the stars certainly would receive an A for effort! “In the mornings, afternoons and at night, they make time for love with a baby being the goal,” this really knowledgable person details, saying of the Prince: “Harry is not complaining at all!” Well, no. How could he when his mouth is full of his wife’s bosom at all hours of everyday? For the record, however, Harry and Markle are not full-time residents of Pound Town because they feel pressure to have a baby. They are too smart and too mature for that. They are well aware of the responsibilties of having a parent and would never make this decision just because a few websites are wondering when it will happen. Heck, Hollywood Life concludes, they don’t even know what is being discussed on social media. “[Meghan] and Harry really don’t pay much attention to all the rumors, as they accept that it’s just part and parcel of being who they are,” says this source.

The music icon died on Thursday 21st April 2016 at his Paisley Park estate in Minnesota at the age of 57. Featuring: Prince, Prince Rogers Nelson Where: Birmingham, United Kingdom When: 21 Apr 2016 Credit: WENN.com The passing of Prince in April 2016 left a massive void in the world of music, and fans have since wondered what would become of his holdings in the wake. The legendary musician’s estate has been tallying up his items for the better part of the year and revealed that the artist born Prince Rogers Nelson left behind nearly $3,000,000 in music equipment. The Blast reports : On September 7, the estate filed an inventory of the current assets and property from the time period of February 2017 to January 2018. During that timeframe, Prince pulled in $755,173.41 in royalties, an additional $2.45 million in “other income,” $20,112 in rental income and $277k in tax refunds. They note that in previous inventory filings, they forgot to mention Prince had two additional gold bars — “1 ounce each” — worth a total of $2,502. Prince’s estate has $15,196,500 worth of real estate and $19,612,358.47 in notes and cash. The docs redacted the amounts of stocks and other personal property the singer owned. An appraiser hired by the estate determined that Prince’s musical instruments are worth an estimated $2,858,875 and photographs he had could sell for $40,165. The other personal items he owned could be worth around $900,000. The estate continues to hammer out itemizing all of the late singer’s belongings in what appears to be preparations for a public sale or auction. — Photo: WENN
