Rapper Lil Durk’s manager, 24-year-old Uchenna Agina (“OTF Chino Dolla”), was shot and killed early this morning in Chicago’s South Side. Agina was sitting in a car on the 8400 block of South Stony Island when someone walked up and opened fire, the Chicago Sun Times reports. Agina was rushed to the hospital by a friend, but was soon pronounced dead at 2:04 AM, authorities said. No suspects are in custody. This is another tough loss for drill rapper Lil Durk, and another unfortunate example of Chicago being the murder capital of the world.

New Music: Skepta – “Nasty” (Devilman Diss)

Leave a comment

“Keep my name out of your nasty mouth” Skepta tells listeners in his new track ‘Nasty’, a reminder to English rapper Devilman (who has held a grudge ever since Devilman lost a battle to Skepta in 2013). No subliminals here, Skepta calls out Devilman for shit bars, snitching, stealing lines, being a sex offender and more. Either way, the rapper who got a recent shout-out from Kanye West has had quite a buzz of late and ‘Nasty’ is just another example of the British MC’s bars. The beat is nasty as well (pun intended of course).

Listen to ‘Nasty’ below.

In a new interview with Billboard, singer Mike Posner helped answer the question of “what happened to Mike Posner’s sophomore album?” For the past few years fans have awaited and anticipated Mike Posner’s sophomore efforts. First came talks of Mike’s sophomore album Sky High, then momentum shifted towards the release of Pages, another sophomore album from the ‘Cooler Than Me’ singer. “I could probably put out Sky High and Pages, but that music is no longer current to me”, Mike told Billboard. “It’s no longer true to me. It’s true to who I was then, but the music I’m writing now is true to who I am now, and I wanted to make a new, third album. And hopefully this one comes out.”
