Featuring his work with heavyweight producers such as Tay Keith, Cxdy, Jordan Knows, Ryan Bevolo, and Zaire Beats, Jai Beats, the eight-track release isn’t an introduction into who he is, but more so a declaration of being one of the industry’s most talented mood-makers. Each song is another step forward into the world Lxst looks to create with his signature smooth vocals over complementary, often guitar-laced, beats.
The follow up to his ten-track January release Lost, starts with the soft and stirring "On My Way" as he explains his relationship with a woman. He continues to turn the lens inward on tracks like "Worked Hard", "Pergatory" and the previously released "Myself" offering a further glimpse into the emotive space he creates from. Also shouting out the late Lakers legend Kobe Bryant, Lxst makes it a mission to follow each track with something bigger than the last. By the end, this avalanche of feels comes crashing down on you.
KOV is an immersive listen that positions him as a rising star in the hip-hop world. With his inventive approach to being personal, Lxst transfixes his listeners and prepares them to become indoctrinated into his society where he is the King of Vibes.

A suspect accused of attacking two Los Angeles police officers inside a police station — pistol-whipping one with his own gun and open firing on another — has been charged with attempted murder, prosecutors said.
Jose Cerpa Guzman, 29, of Los Angeles, was charged Tuesday with two counts of attempted murder and related charges in the brazen late Saturday assault inside the Harbor Community police station in San Pedro, Los Angeles County District Attorney Jackie Lacey said.
Prosecutors said Guzman entered the police station and got into an argument with an officer just before 10 p.m. He left but came back and allegedly started attacking an officer.
Video of the onslaught obtained by the Los Angeles Times shows a suspect identified by cops as Guzman knocking the officer to the floor before grabbing his gun and striking him at least four times in the head with the weapon.
Police sources told the newspaper Guzman then tried to shoot the officer — repeatedly squeezing the firearm’s trigger — while pointing the weapon at his chest, but a safety mechanism stopped it from going off.
Guzman then ran out of the station and exchanged gunfire with a watch commander. No one was hurt in the shooting, while the officer who was pistol-whipped had “bumps and bruises” in what LAPD Chief Michel Moore has called a “brutal and immediate assault” that he was lucky to survive.
Moore said Tuesday investigators were still going over all facets of the case, according to the Los Angeles Times.
“Why this officer was not shot by this assailant is unclear, but I’m grateful,” Moore said.
Guzman was taken into custody a short time later, Lacey said. Prosecutors recommended his bail be set at $2.2 million and he faces up to life in state prison if convicted.
A motive in the attack remains unclear and investigators are still looking into how Guzman was able to get into the police station’s front lobby, CBS Los Angeles reported.
It’s unclear if Guzman had hired an attorney ahead of his scheduled arraignment Tuesday, the Los Angeles Times reported.
Robert Harris, director of the Los Angeles Police Protective League, said the harrowing attack is an example of the extreme dangers cop face every day.
“I know there are people in society that say, ‘This is what you signed up for,’” Harris told NBC Los Angeles. “No, this is not what we signed up for. We are a reflection of the communities we serve — [an] attack on us is an attack on the community.”
(CNN) An unidentified man was seen flying in a jetpack near the Los Angeles International Airport ... again.
The man was spotted by a flight crew around 1:45 p.m. Wednesday, the Federal Aviation Administration confirmed to CNN.
"A China Airlines crew reported seeing what appeared to be someone in a jet pack at an approximate altitude of 6,000 feet, about seven miles northwest of Los Angeles International Airport," the FAA said in a statement.
The FAA said it alerted local law enforcement agencies and are investigating the report. Similar sightings of a man in a jetpack near LAX were reported to the FAA in September.
An American Airlines flight was the first to report a "guy in a jetpack" at the plane's' altitude of 3,000 feet above Los Angeles International Airport on September 1. The aircraft's crew said that the man was approximately 30 yards away from the aircraft. About 10 minutes later, another plane spotted the man.
The FBI is investigating the incidents.
"The FBI is in contact with the FAA and is investigating multiple reports of what, according to witnesses, appeared to be an individual in a jetpack near LAX, including one today reported by a China Airlines crew," FBI Los Angeles Field Office spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said Wednesday.
CNN has reached out to LAX for comment. There are no additional details at this time.
CNN obtained the audio between air traffic control and American and JetBlue flight crews from the September 1 incident. According to the communications, air traffic control warned a JetBlue flight to "use caution... person on a jetpack reported 300 yards south."
After the plane acknowledged the instruction, the controller concluded with: "Only in LA."
Black Soprano Family CEO and Griselda Records artist, Benny the Butcher, was in Los Angeles recently and stopped by radio station Power 106 to bless the "L.A. Leakers" with a fire freestyle over Jay-Z's classic "Dead Presidents" instrumental.
Singer, DJ, and producer IPN just dropped a hot new single titled “Now It’s Over”. Even though the track has characteristically sad and dark sounds inspired by Linkin Park, Mike Shinoda and Blackbear, it refers to a message of hope. The lyrics aren’t really complicated, since IPN wrote it really fast and it’s not focused on a specific argument, to leave for the listener an open space to interpretate it as they like.
The song is dedicated to the people who want to succeed and stop being the way there surroundings are or by the way their family and friends want them to be, but to make their own decisions and to achieve their goals.
On Wednesday’s (Oct. 14) episode of#EverydayStruggle, Nadeska, DJ Akademiks and Wayno start off the show sharing their thoughts on Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris tapping Battle rappers, Charlie Clips and DNA (URL TV) to assist in their 2020 Presidential campaign.

Afterwards, the EDS crew talks about Megan Thee Stallion’s op-ed with The New York Times, where she expressed her reasoning for promoting Black Women on her platform. Lastly, the trio takes a deep dive into the career of Lil Pump and put him on the clock.

In the latest clip, Crunchy Black spoke on the death of his oldest daughter Ashley. While the Three 6 Mafia member said he has five children, he referred to Ashley as his "heart." He explained that he's still grieving and revealed that Ashley called him in the middle of the night before the shooting, but he was asleep. The rapper said his oldest son woke him up with the news and he was in denial until his brother confirmed.
Crunchy Black explained that he shut down and was ready to do something about the tragic incident before adding that if she received the love that she's currently receiving while she was alive, then she likely wouldn't have been in the situation that led to her death. Crunchy Black also stated that her death was caused by anything she did, but what her boyfriend was involved in.
