Even though The Notorious B.I.G. passed away over 20 years ago, the late Brooklyn hometown hero has one of rap’s most extensive posthumous discographies — and it’s about to get even bigger, thanks to web3. That’s right; Biggie is the latest rapper to hop on the NFT train (courtesy of The Christopher Wallace Estate) with […]
Nicki Minaj has already firmly cemented her place in hip-hop history, but now she’s added yet another bullet point to her resume: Minaj’s Instagram account just passed 200 million followers, which makes her the first rapper to rack up that many followers on the platform.

Lizzo is used to waiting for her songs to have their moment. “Truth Hurts” became her first No. 1 single in 2019 despite its initial release coming two years earlier. “Good As Hell” did something similar, hitting No. 3 that year after being first released in 2016.

There’s little that Bad Bunny has accomplished in 2022. He body-slammed Brock Lesnar at the 2022 WWE Royal Rumble. He landed the role of a wrestling superhero in El Muerto, a new Spider-Man spinoff movie. He turn up in the New York City streets and somewhat had a wedding of his own. He even broke […]
