Last night, Milwaukee singer Lex Allen and the New Age Narcissism collective performed a headlining set at the Brady Street Festival in Milwaukee, WI. While many festival goers were sprinkled throughout the Brady St. bars, somewhere between buzzed and drunk (since it’s what Mil-town does best), a great crowd of fans showed up for the Allen’s entertaining set. Full of costume changes, dancers and surprise performances from NAN’s Siren and Lorde Fredd33, Lex delivered for his hometown crowd.

Is Chance The Rapper going to be Chance The Father? It sure looks that way, as earlier today Chance and his manager shared a photo hinting that a little Chance is on the way. “Coming soon. 👪❤️,” wrote Chance on Instagram. “Congrats on your journey guys. I love you! @chancetherapperadded Chance’s manager Pat. Perhaps the two are having fun with fans on social media, or just maybe Chance’s first child is really on the way. Either way, we are sure Chance will make a great father and we wish his family the best of luck!

Check out the potential first photo of Chance Jr. below.

For those who have logged onto a computer within the past few days, the escalating beef between Meek Mill and Drake is likely not breaking news. Meek’s accusations of Drake employing ghostwriters set off a firestorm that went from bad to worse over a sprawling series of tweets, and as of now, it’s only spreading as other rappers attempt to insert their two cents. No one can truly confirm whether or not an individual in the shadows penned lyrics for the head of OVO, but fortunately, there are certain lines only Drake could have crafted. In order to help figure out where those lyrics reside, we’ve compiled 10 tracks that definitely came from the mind of Canada’s finest.

Eminem paid a visit to Shade 45‘s “Sway In The Morning” and blessed us all with a new freestyle. Spittin’ acapella on this one, Eminem proved he still has bars, and more bars, and more bars. With lyrics about Cindy Crawford, Jack Gyllenhaal’s new film Southpaw, Foxy Brown, Pam Grier’s tampons, his feud with Azealia Banks, Caitlyn Jenner (no offense though) and a thousand more entertaining and topical subjects, Em killed it (and all from the top of the dome)! “I’m what you’d get if Aaron Hernandez rhymed”, “And fuck Pop, I don’t even like refreshments”, “Fuck talking clear… I’d rather rap like an auctioneer”, it’s impossible to pick out just a few favorite lines. Rapping for 5-minutes straight, Eminem went crazy on this one! Em also added “it’s very rarely personal” and “I just say shit to say it,” so if he went at one of your favorite entertainers, don’t get upset.

Listen to Eminem’s new freestyle below.

Taylor Swift Apologizes to Nicki Minaj Over VMA Feud

Even Taylor Swift isn’t too big to show a little humility and apologize when she thinks she’s wrong. For a couple days, Taylor and Nicki Minaj had a little bit of bad blood when Taylor Swift was under the impression that Nicki’s anger over a MTV Video Music Award snub (for her ‘Anaconda’ video) was aimed at Swift’s way (who was nominated). Although the two both shared how big of a fan they were of the other, there was some clear tension. The Twitter war should be officially over now, as Swift took to Twitter to send an apology to Minaj. “I thought I was being called out. I missed the point, I misunderstood, then misspoke. I’m sorry, Nicki,” tweeted Swift. You can’t blame a girl for defending herself, right (especially when its Swift and the VMAs)?

Ready T-Swift’s apology below.

Riff Raff, Dirty Nasty & Andy Milonakis Shot a Three Loco TV Pilot, “Candy Ranch”, for Adult Swim

Simon Rex (Dirt Nasty) just got everyone happy and sad, all in one Instagram post. Minutes ago, the Scary Movie 3 actor/rapper shared photo of Riff Raff and Kimbo Slice that was took behind the scenes from a pilot that Rex, Andy Milonakis and Jody Highroller (Riff) filmed for Cartoon Networks and Adult Swim. The TV pilot was for a Three Loco (Riff, Dirt & Andy’s rap group) show titled “Candy Ranch”, and it was directed by Eric Wareheim (“Tim and Eric”).

While this show, by its cast alone, seems epic, don’t get too excited. Adult Swim did not decide to pick it up for whatever reason. It probably wouldn’t have worked out however, as the hilarious rap trio since broke up. Last September, Milonakis shared a series of tweets aimed at Riff Raff, venting frustration about the Neon Icon pursuing his solo career over Three Loco’s. “Stop signing deals without reading them. Stop acting like ur Beyonce. Start treating people with respect or crash & burn,” Milonakis tweeted to Riff. He continued, tweeting “I don’t want you to do anything for me…it’s what you want us to do for you. @justinbieber has more humble demands.” While we will never get a full season, let’s hope the pilot is eventually released.

Check out a behind the scenes photo from the “Candy Ranch” pilot below.
