When Westside Gunn entered the rap game he had a plan and things are coming to fruition. The Griselda Records movement is as strong as ever, with Conway the Machine and Benny the Butcher becoming stars.
Gunn also knew the year he would hang up the mic. He's talked about in interviews, but people didn't know it would be at the height of his career.
On the heels of Griselda's Shady Records debut album "W.W.C.D," Westside confirmed via his Instagram account that his swan song will be his forthcoming collaborative project with Madlib, which is coming in 2020.
"Well Since MADLIB told y’all.... YES the WSG x MADLIB Project is dropping 2020, in 19’ I gave y’all Awesome GOD, HWH7, and WWCD soon as the ball drop I’m right back on the N.... necks," he wrote. "and Please go support HWH7 and WWCD were making HISTORY btw 2020 my last year rapping I’m going down as one of the Illest Ever."
We're sure the Buffalo native will still be a fixture in the music scene as he guides Griselda's future. Fans just won't be hearing his slick rhymes and unique voice on beats anymore.
Montana country rapper Overtime has released his brand new video for "Hey Now".

Overtime’s “Divided We Fall” is currently available for pre-order online at https://fanlink.to/dwfpreorder
"The song 'Hey Now' is about feeling like everything you do and say is being judged. It's about standing in the face of adversity and believing in yourself. It's about making the choice to do something and seeing it through," commented Overtime. "In a crowded room, I'm alone much like I am when I'm in the backcountry of Montana. I chose the location and theme for Hey Now to be in a place of solitude. It really shows that no matter how big you think you might be, we're all so small in the grand scheme of things. Montana has a way of reminding you of that."
Overtime is an American rapper/singer/songwriter best known for his blue-collar work ethic and music that fuses together hip-hop, country, and rock. Born in Bozeman but raised in Missoula, Overtime has been making a name for himself as one of the most explosive acts to mix together country and rap. With 5 albums under his belt, over 45 million Youtube views from his 140,000 subscribers and 115,000 monthly Spotify listeners, fans have latched onto Overtime’s heart, honesty and determination to prove that country boys can survive and thrive in the music business.

Officials say Aniah Blanchard was killed by a gunshot ... and now, they're seeking the death penalty for her alleged killer.
Blanchard's body was recovered in a wooded area in Macon County, Alabama on Nov. 25 after she had gone missing for weeks.
The medical examiner conducted an autopsy and determined Blanchard -- the stepdaughter of UFC fighter Walt Harris -- was killed by a gunshot ... but didn't specify to which part of her body.
Now, prosecutors say the man accused of pulling the trigger -- Ibraheem Yazeed -- is being charged with capital murder, and they're seeking the death penalty.
"This case has shaken our community to its core," Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes said Monday ... "It is my intention that the response to this horrific crime serve as a warning to anyone who believes they want to come to Lee County and engage in violent criminal behavior."
Hughes added, "You will be dealt with and the consequences will be severe."
So far, three men have been arrested in connection with Blanchard's abduction ... but Hughes said Monday Yazeed is now believed to be the "lone person responsible" for Blanchard's death.
Hughes says Yazeed abducted Blanchard from an Auburn gas station on Oct. 23 ... and his first-degree kidnapping charge has now been upgraded to capital murder.
Yazeed is still being held in jail without bond.
As for Blanchard's family, her mother, Angela Harris, emotionally spoke about the tragedy last week ... while Walt Harris penned a thank-you note to Aniah on social media, writing, "This pain is unbearable."
The man charged with kidnapping Aniah Blanchard is now charged in her death, Lee County District Attorney Brandon Hughes announced on Monday.
Blanchard, 19, was abducted in October outside an Auburn convenience store and was found dead last week in rural Macon County woods. The cause of Blanchard’s death was a gunshot wound, Hughes said.
Three people have been charged in connection with the abduction.
Ibraheem Yazeed, 29, was initially charged with first-degree kidnapping and has been held without bond in the Lee County Jail since his Nov. 8 arrest. Video evidence from the College Street convenience store placed both Blanchard and Yazeed at the store during the same time. Yazeed has a history of arrests for violent crimes.
Yazeed is now charged with capital murder. Hughes said his office will seek the death penalty.
During the course of the investigation into Blanchard’s disappearance, it was determined Yazeed abducted her from the Chevron gas station on College Street in Auburn, Hughes said. "After the arrest of Mr. Yazeed, the focus of the investigation turned exclusively to finding Aniah,'' he said.
On Nov. 25, investigative efforts led authorities to County Road 2 in Macon County where human remains were found and later determined by the Alabama Department of Forensic Sciences to be those of Blanchard.
The charge against Yazeed is capital murder because Blanchard was killed during the course of another felony crime, which in this case was kidnapping. Hughes declined to say when Blanchard was actually shot to death, nor would he discuss whether Blanchard was a crime of opportunity and what the suspect’s ultimate motive may have been.
"In the interests of public safety, I can say that the investigation has determined Ibraheem Yazeed to be the lone person responsible for Aniah’s abduction and her murder and he remains in the Lee County jail without bond,'' Hughes said. “Mr. Yazeed remains innocent of any charges against him until his guilt is proven beyond a reasonable doubt.”
"This case has shaken our community to its core, and I cannot say enough about how the Auburn Police Division—and every other agency involved in this case—responded to the report of Aniah’s disappearance,'' the district attorney said. “From its first moments, law enforcement moved swiftly and methodically to find Aniah’s abductor, her murderer, and her. The process of seeing justice done on behalf of Aniah and her family will not be swift, but it will be thorough.”
"It is my intention that the response to this horrific crime serve as a warning to anyone who believes they want to come to Lee County and engage in violent criminal behavior. You will be dealt with and the consequences will be severe,” Hughes said.
The two others charged in connection to the case are Antwain “Squirmy” Fisher, 35, and David Lee Johnson Sr., 63.
Fisher is also charged with first-degree kidnapping and remains held on $50,000 bond. Authorities said Fisher “provided material assistance to Yazeed by providing transportation to Yazeed, and disposing of evidence,’’ according to court records.
Johnson is charged with hindering prosecution. Authorities say he knew his son allegedly drove Yazeed to Florida, but instead told investigators Yazeed left his home with an unidentified woman. Johnson has been released on bond.
Hughes did not say whether charges against Fisher or Johnson could later be upgraded as well.
The announcement came one week after Blanchard’s remains were discovered and police officially declared her death a homicide investigation.

Bernard Talburtt better know by his stage name BernardoDavinci was born in 1991 developed an interest in music at the young age of growing up in a middle-class family it wasn't until his late teens, however, he decided to pursue music as a full - time career.

Bridgeport, Connecticut emcee Mortician teams up with Kash for a banger titled "Soup Kitchen." This is the first single off of his forthcoming "BurnSuttin' Vol. 2" mixtape, dropping on April 20, 2020.
If you think that free-agent receiver Antonio Brown is simply spending his leisure time on social media, think again.
Brown took to Instagram on Monday to announce that he’s going to drop a debut album with Jamaican born music star Sean Kingston some time in 2020. He also noted that an early release of a single will come out before then if the comments on his IG post reach 2,000.
That’s rather interesting timing. It was just Sunday night that Brown trolled his former New England Patriot team while offering up his services to Tom Brady and Co.
Brown was released by New England after just one game earlier this season as multiple allegations of sexual assault became public record. He’s obviously looking at life outside of football with the NFL having yet to make a decision on any type of discipline regarding the allegations.
Teaming up with Kingston is also rather interesting in that the musician was alleged to have committed sexual assault back in 2010 before the case was settled out of court.
Remy Ma's off the hook in her assault case -- a judge just dropped all charges against her.
The rapper was in an NYC courthouse Monday with her legal team, and prosecutors made it clear ... they couldn't prove beyond a reasonable doubt Remy had committed the alleged assault on "Love & Hip Hop: New York" star Brittney Taylor back in April.
They said there was no surveillance video capturing the alleged punch, and no witnesses had seen an altercation between them either. Thus, a judge dismissed the case entirely.
You'll recall ... Remy was initially slapped with 4 charges over this -- 2 counts of assault, 1 count of aggravated harassment and another count off harassment in the 2nd degree.
Remy always maintained her innocence, saying she had visual evidence she wasn't even at the concert where it allegedly went down.
Her attorney, Dawn Florio, tells TMZ, "Remy has always maintained her complete innocence as she never laid a hand on her celebrity-obsessed, clout chasing, credibility challenged accuser. Unfortunately, these manufactured allegations caused my client to suffer the indignities of having to wear an ankle monitor while having her freedom limited by travel restrictions and an 8:00 PM curfew."
She adds, "These restrictions have hurt my client's ability to perform, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of lost income. District Attorney Vance’s office should be commended for its exercise of sound judgment in agreeing to dismiss these unwarranted charges."
Unclear if Remy's planning to sue Brittney, but it sure sounds like it.
Azealia Banks has announced her retirement from music via her Instagram page.
In true Banks fashion she managed to throw a couple of shots on her way out of the door.
"I really can't allow y'all to keep throwing me in the bucket with Iggys/tinashes/random drag queens just because I'm a female," she wrote.
The 28-year old New York City native burst onto the scene in 2011 with the release of the song "212," which garnered a lot of buzz. However, things started to go south as Banks began to gain a reputation of being difficult to work with.
She bounced around various labels, including XL Recordings, Interscope, Polydor Records and eOne. During that time she only manged to release one album ... 2014's "Broke with Expensive Taste."
Banks will likely be remembered more for her feuds than music.
Over the years she has beefed with Jim Jones, Iggy Azalea, Lana Del Rey, RZA, Russell Crowe, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj, Perez Hilton, T.I., Tiny, Action Bronson, Lil Kim, Zayn Malik, Skai Jackson, Angel Haze, Kreayshawn, A$AP Rocky and a host of others.
It's a shame because Banks is extremely talented. She had a spark, but chose to let it flicker out.
