RIP Drakeo, the greatest West Coast artist of a generation, a legend who invented a new rap language of slippery cadences, nervous rhythms, and psychedelic slang, who beat life twice only to suffer the most tragic fate conceivable. The Ruler, once, always, and forever. 💔

“Hip-hop loves an underdog story and a hero’s journey. His rise and fall felt so rapid and a little bit Shakespearean." peep my @LouderThanARiot co-d @Sid_Madden spittin facts about Bobby Shmurda's lasting appeal in the NY mfn Times for @joecoscarelli: nytimes.com/2021/08/13/art…

"'Loud' forces us to listen to reggaeton with complexity — as much complexity as the music and its history hold in the first place." Read @jabladoraaa's review of LOUD: The History of Reggaeton by @futurostudios @spotifypodcasts hosted by @IvyQueenDiva! nytimes.com/2021/08/11/art…

It has come to my attention that the kids don't know who @DJDRAMA is and why he's talking all over the new @tylerthecreator album. Send this ep of @LouderThanARiot to anyone you think could benefit. (And even if you already know, it's still a great ep.) youtube.com/watch?v=fn7qbE…

Love him or hate him "screaming" all over @tylerthecreator's new LP, nobody's paid more dues keeping hip-hop alive than @DJDRAMA. Relive the drama with the man himself in @LouderThanARiot's DJ Drama ep. from season 1. HE EVEN SCREAMED HIS NAME AT US: open.spotify.com/episode/6ipeEt…

The Pulitzer board wasn't moved, but Louisiana's Board of Pardons and Parole was. This is better than any recognition @LouderThanARiot has (or could have) received. Mac home now.🙏🏿 Peace to him and his family, day one fans and supporters who've stayed true till this day.

WELCOME HOME MAC! After 21 years in prison, McKinley "Mac" Phipps Jr. has been granted parole by Louisiana Board of Pardons and Committee on Parole. Mac (pictured here) is finally home with family after decades behind bars. npr.org/2020/10/23/926… 📸: @Angelique829
