Houston native Ghost Magneto along with friend Kenyon Tennessee were discovered shot outside Club Onyx around 4:00 am while sitting inside a Mercedes-Benz sedan. According to witnesses who were also present stated to authorities that they heard shots however could not tell the direction they were coming from but learned that the rapper was one of the victims.

Police spokesperson Larry Crowson, who was present on the scene, suggested that he believed that both deceased males were targeted by two shooters. Family members of 24-year-old Nicholas Esene believe he might have gotten involved with the wrong crowd as it related to his music career.

Click2Houston.com reports, “The bodies were discovered after police said a patron heard gunshots and alerted a security guard who found the men shot to death in the back parking lot of Club Onyx near Richmond Avenue and Bering Drive around 4:17 a.m. Tuesday.” It is believed the men were targeted, and at least two suspects fled the scene.

Brenda Harris, Esene’s grandmother, said about her grandson, “He was excited about making his album and he had just [moved] into a house. He was so excited. He called me and said, ‘Granny, you will have to come and see my place.  After the doctor’s appointment, we were going to go and visit with him and then we go and get this call before I leave home.”

This is a developing story.

Philly’s Jay Griffy releases his new music video “Ran Thru It” produced by Tee Steez. The track is featured on his new Spicy EP that dropped this past weekend. Check out the new video below.

Federal agents have arrested Daniel Hernandez aka Brooklyn rapper Tekashi 69 along with his former manager Shottie and bodyguard Faheem Walter on federal racketeering charges.  Walter was previously charged with gang violence last week as a result of a shooting that occurred during a #FreeTekashi celebration in New York City.

The timing of the arrest and the recent announcement by Tekashi that he has fired his entire team could all be a coincidence or perhaps the rapper was trying to distance himself from all the drama his crew brings. Whatever the case, federal agents consisting of ATF, Homeland Security and NY’s hip hop police decided that there was enough evidence to arrest his crew.

“A spokesman for Manhattan U.S. Attorney said Tekashi, whose real name is Daniel Hernandez, was busted along with three others, Kifano (Shotti) Jordan, Jensel (Ish) Butler and Faheem (Crippy) Walter.”

This recent arrest will likely trigger state probation charges for Hernandez as the judge in his previous sexual assault case made it clear to the rapper that he must stay clear of trouble.

The rapper will be formally be arraigned this afternoon in NY Federal court. This is a developing story.

Canadian singer MYLES LLOYD is known for mixing soulful melodies with a R&B/POP flavor and now he’s breaking out with his new song, “I WANT IT ALL.” Adding to the allure of the song, MYLES LLOYD connected with Bryson Tiller’s creative director Chase Ichiki for the artwork.

After breaking on to the scene with his song, “STEP DOWN,” which achieved hundreds of thousands of views without any promotion on Soundcloud, YouTube, Spotify and other platforms, MYLES LLOYD returns with a new song that has a deeper meaning than you would initially assume with a materialistic sounding song title like, “I WANT IT ALL.”

But according to MYLES LLOYD, “I WANT IT ALL is not a song about how I want cars, nice things, women or any mainstream want that everyone thinks is needed to be happy. The deeper meaning can be found at the end of the song when I say that I don’t want to party and do all the crazy things kids my age do because in the end I’ll just be delaying my goal, which is having self-happiness and stability in my life. I’m telling people I WANT IT ALL right now, so let me do what I have to do to focus now and we’ll talk later.”

Finding musical inspiration at the age of 18 with his best friend frnchhmwrk, the two began to explore different sounds and melodies, singing and practicing at a local hookah spot.

“He’s all about creating vibes and giving out sounds that really make people feel,” Ryon Simon co-founder of Lode Star Records explained. “He’s working with his long time best friend/producer frnch//hmwrk who has really helped him create his sound as he embarks his way into the music scene, and we have some really big installations planned for him.”

With plans to continue to release music through the end of the year, MYLES LLOYD is anticipating the release of an album in the second quarter of 2019 with Lode Star Records.

It’s important not to forget where we came so checkout this new joint from The East Side Boyz, self proclaimed “Kings of Crunk.” It’s a throwback sound that Big Sam and Lil’ Bo developed in the inspiring Hip-Hop culture of their hometown Atlanta, Georgia, has been resurfacing as of late since their smash hit record entitled “Get Low” with Crunk producer Lil Jon.

Linking back up with other Crunk affiliates such as the Ying Yang Twins, Trillvile, Young BloodZ, and Bone Crusher, they have done what is called the “Kings of Crunk Set” on the 2018 Tom Joyner Fantastic Voyage Cruise and most recently Atlanta’s popular One Music Fest. The East Side Boyz plans on keeping Crunk music alive by continuing with the “Kings of Crunk Set” on tour sometime in 2019.

In the meantime, The East Side Boyz has linked up with B2K’s Raz B, whom is also starting to resurface back into the music scene, to release their newest version of the Crunk sound with a fitting title “Get It Low” which is taken from an upcoming project currently in development.

“Get It Low” is produced by Al “Hitman” Nolan and Adam Larossa from the Day One camp and the track combines Crunk with Raz B’s Urban Pop sound, and a little bit of EDM flavor. Stay tuned for more by The East Side Boyz and the “Kings of Crunk” movement.
