Royce Da 5'9's younger brother Kid Vishis airs out his beef with Talib Kweli. The origin of which he explains below.
"#ForTheRecord I don’t personally know @talibkweli never been a fan, never been a follower.. Never really existed in my world. Appreciate anything he’s done in Hiphop but never been my style or preference. He called somebody who I follow on IG and someone who used to work for Heaven studio as an engineer a “Nazi” for disagreeing with him on some corny Shxt I’m NOT involved in about Climate Control. In response the guy called Kweli a “boy” which Mos Def doesn’t Fly 2023 a white guy calling a black man “boy”.. That person was made to apologize privately And publicly for it. Kweli didn’t accept the public or private apology which is his business and I have Nothing to do with this situation other than my studio affiliation with the engineer. However, @talibkweli began @ing my name and other people who I actually considered my friends names in posts non stop.. I received about 30 mentions from this stranger before I actually responded. In response I respectfully said we can have a dialogue about it no problem but your @ing my name into something I’m not involved in fam. @talibkweli response was More Disrespect, calling me a Nazi lover, Bootlicker, etc. My response l, “yeah ok man” and I didn’t say anything again til I seen he continued to slander my name and now is bringing Aliengang into it which is a community of super talented artists and supporters. I Still Didn’t Respond. He tried to @ people from Detroit and bash me but that didn’t work out in his favor. I stayed quiet. He then days later after another 30 mentions of my name i seen a post where he said, “why do I think Kid Vishis is so quiet? Cuz he Knows His Place”.. At this point it’s like a guy who I would slap to the floor in Real Life is trying to “Bully” me online lol! Nah bro. We not doin that. I told him if he @ me again disrespectfully, I’m gonna return All The Energy he has been giving me and give him the full show he’s asking for. @talibkweli response, “Nobody cares about your show Nazi Lover” So that when I started to return the disrespect. He also said I’m a trash rapper and he want AllTheSmoke Now we gotta see about that. Has nothing to do with the white guy that said “boy”

HipHopWired Reports
The Underground Music Awards is making its seventh return as the fireworks are set to start going off August 23. Hosted by Urban Threshold, the event will be showcased at the Famous BB Kings Concert Hall in Times Square, New York City.
Last year the event was hosted by Slick Rick and GrandMaster Flash and featured such upstart MCs as Donny Goines, Red Café and Mickey Factz.
Geared towards indie artists, this awards ceremony has been dubbed as being the largest awards show that takes place in commemoration for the Hip-Hop heads that take their musical endeavors out the hands of major labels and invest in themselves independently. This goes to show that all work, no matter how much coverage is given, is unappreciated.
Old school and new school have been honored at this event in prior years with legends such as Slick Rick, GrandMaster Flash, Kid Capri, Marley Marl and up and comers such as Serius Jones, Joell Ortiz and Saigon.
Just like the underground artist on the come up, this awards show is also unconventional and breaks the general rules that have been set by premier awards shows. The sole purpose of this event is to acknowledge unsigned artists and underground artists for their contributions to the urban scene of music unlike things such as the Grammy Awards, the Billboard Music Awards or even BET award shows.
The overall theme is blending as DJs, artists, fans, media outlets and music professionals are all brought to the same venue in order to network and build relationships past the closing of the event. Think of it as an awards show mixed with a Hip-Hop Summit or round-table.
Performances featured include DMC from Run DMC, Freeway and more. Click here for more information.
