Questlove Teases A Soulquarians Comeback: “The Family’s Going To Get Back Together”

One of hip-hop and R&B’s most iconic collectives might be making a comeback. Questlove has teased the long-awaited return of the Soulquarians, the soul-steeped movement that he spearheaded in the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside the likes of D’Angelo and J Dilla.

One of hip-hop and R&B’s most iconic collectives might be making a comeback.
Questlove has teased the long-awaited return of the Soulquarians, the soul-steeped movement that he spearheaded in the late 1990s and early 2000s alongside the likes of D’Angelo and J Dilla.
During a recent episode of his podcast The Questlove Show, the longtime Roots drummer and award-winning filmmaker revealed plans for a stripped-down Soulquarians comeback featuring the few original members that are left including himself, R&B legend Bilal and acclaimed producer/multi-instrumentalist James Poyser.
“James [Poyser], myself, Bilal — the fragments that are left of the Soulquarians… we spoke. The family’s going to get back together,” he said.
Questlove added that since the deaths of Prince and D’Angelo in 2016 and 2025, respectively, he feels pressure to “see the mission through” of keeping thoughtful, analog-driven music alive.
“Now that [D’Angelo] is not here, I feel that responsibility more than ever,” he shared.
It’s unclear if other living Soulquarians such as Erykah Badu, Common, Q-Tip and Yasiin Bey (formerly known as Mos Def) will be involved.
Headquartered at Jimi Hendrix’s famed Electric Lady Studios in New York City, the original Soulquarians movement birthed a whole wave of classic hip-hop and R&B albums that remain hugely influential to this day.
Between 1999 and 2002, the lineup of like-minded, left-of-center creatives came together to produce masterpieces like D’Angelo’s Voodoo, Erykah Badu’s Mama’s Gun and Common’s Like Water For Chocolate.
“In my head it was this utopian paradise I had always envisioned, the Native Tongues movement recreated,” Questlove wrote of the Soulquarians in his 2013 memoir Mo’ Meta Blues.
However, things began to fall apart just as the group was hitting its peak thanks to a 2000 VIBE magazine article that sought to spotlight the Soulquarians, but sadly backfired.
“I was in Chicago for a D’Angelo show … Someone came up and tapped me on the shoulder. ‘Ahmir, it’s Mos [Def]. He wants to talk to you,'” Quest recalled in Mo’ Meta Blues.
“[Mos said], ‘I’m not an Aquarian … Does that mean I’m not a real Soulquarian?’ Later, Q-Tip called. ‘Yo,’ he said. ‘This article makes it look like I work for you.’ Then Erykah called, and she had a problem with the piece, too.”
He added: “When I [checked out the story], I could see their point … It was at that moment that I realized that the paradise I had imagined wasn’t headed in a good direction.”

This week’s New Music Friday has a little bit of everything, from diss tracks and TV theme songs to moshpit-ready rage rap and smooth ladies’ jams.
50 Cent has made a surprise return to the booth — not to lock horns with T.I., who has been peppering him with diss songs of late, but to soundtrack the upcoming Power prequel series. Featuring a soulful hook from from R&B hotshot Leon Thomas, “No One Told Us What We’re Here For” is proof that Fif still has the magic touch whenever he decides to fully recommit himself to music.
Speak of the devil, Tip is also in the mix this week with yet another defiant song aimed at 50 Cent. In response to Fif taunting him with a potential Surviving T.I. & Tiny documentary, the Grand Hustle honcho puts his family first on the triumphant “Trauma Bond” which contains light jabs like: “Integrity is priceless, that ain’t something that you can finance.”
Flying the flag for hip-hop’s current generation, Denzel Curry formally introduces his new supergroup The Scythe (A$AP Ferg, TiaCorine, Bktherula, Key Nyata and himself) with the crew’s super-charged debut album, while Gnarls Barkley — the Grammy-winning duo of CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse — return with Atlanta, their first album in 18 years.
Elsewhere, Meek Mill is firmly in his bag on the reflective “Head High Freestyle” (which is sadly a YouTube exclusive for now), Juice WRLD fans are treated to a new posthumous song courtesy of EDM DJ Marshmello, and Ty Dolla $ign caters to the ladies on his new aptly-titled EP Girl Music Vol. 1.

T.I. may soon be the next rival of 50 Cent‘s to have his alleged transgressions turned into a documentary.
After executive producing a Netflix docuseries on Diddy’s history of abuse allegations, it appears the G-Unit mogul is now turning the spotlight on Tip’s own checkered past.
In a since-deleted Instagram post on Thursday (March 5), Fif shared a screenshot of a news headline that read “50 Cent Reportedly Developing ‘Surviving T.I. & Tiny’ Documentary,” seemingly confirming the report.
“Remember how quiet I got before the Diddy doc, Dame thought I wasn’t coming. I hope this doesn’t mess up your promo tour,” he wrote in the caption, referencing the rollout of T.I.’s upcoming final album Kill the King.
“[T]hey’re gonna ask about your 20 sexual assault cases. You might want to talk to a crisis PR person.”
T.I. has yet to respond.
50 Cent’s taunt only escalates the long-simmering tension between himself and T.I., which has reached fever pitch in recent weeks after the Atlanta rap legend once again challenged 50 to a Verzuz battle.
Fif responded by calling Tip “King Rat” and telling him to “keep my name out ya mouth,” prompting the Grand Hustle general to unleash an onslaught of diss records aimed at his longtime foe.
The most bruising of the bunch, “The Right One,” found T.I. using 50’s dead mother and baby mama Daphne Joy, who later became romantic with Diddy, as ammo.
“You ain’t that savage, n*gga, you 5-0, dispatcher / Ol’ tender dick n*gga, all mad ’cause Puff let your bitch have it / Gave her tartar sauce and mustard like a fish sammich,” he rapped on the hard-hitting track, before adding: “You hate women, guess that’s why you can’t keep one / You can’t love ’em, ’cause from your mama you received none.”
Despite Tip’s best efforts to lure him into the ring for a full-fledged rap battle, 50 Cent has made it clear that he has no intention of hopping back into the booth.
Alongside a fake “Stupid-Ass N*gga Award” certificate that he posted on Instagram, the Power mogul wrote: “Goes to old rappers still trying to battle rap, ChatGPT told me that. I don’t need me to rap, YOU need me to rap. LOL get the Fvck off my page.”

Drake may have helped turn Young Money into one of hip-hop’s biggest powerhouse labels, but there was a time when he wasn’t even allowed on Lil Wayne‘s tour bus.
Adam Bhala Lough, the director behind Weezy’s iconic The Carter documentary, spoke with music journalist Andre Gee for his Substack newsletter about the making of the film, as well as the sequel which recently leaked online.
Reflecting on capturing Weezy at the peak of his powers during Tha Carter III era, Lough shared an amusing anecdote involving Drake and his “dorky” disconnect with the rest of Young Money.
“The majority of the time when I wasn’t shooting with Wayne, but when I was on set, Wayne would disappear and I was just hanging out with Tez [Bryant, Wayne’s then-manager], Mack Maine and Nicki Minaj,” he said. “At one point, I spent some time with her before Wayne did The Jimmy Kimmel Show, when nobody knew who she was, and they wouldn’t even let Drake on the bus. He was, like, such a dork that they wouldn’t even let him on the bus.”
He added: “When he started selling millions and millions of records, it was a different story entirely. But he was definitely not allowed on the bus and wouldn’t hang out with any of [them] because there were real Blood gang members around all the time. And I’m sure he was intimidated by them, too. I was, even though they were super cool to me. These are serious, Blood gang members with guns on them. Like, some shit could go down.”
Lough, who has also directed music videos for MF DOOM and a documentary about dub pioneer Lee “Scratch” Perry, also revealed that disgraced Hollywood producer Harvey Weinstein and former Trump strategist Steve Bannon were originally on board to fund The Carter documentary.
“Quincy Jones III contacted me. He had seen one of my previous films, and he was like, ‘I really want to work with you. I have this company. We have a deal with an offshoot of Miramax.’ You’re not going to believe this, but it was a company owned by Harvey Weinstein and Steve Bannon,” he said.
“A lot of people don’t remember, but Steve Bannon actually came from Hollywood; he was a movie producer. So the original financiers of The Carter were going to be Harvey Weinstein and Steve Bannon, which would have been amazing if it had actually happened, but they shut down their company during production of the film.”
As for the sequel, Lough recently shared a rough cut on YouTube after hackers leaked the footage, which was recorded years earlier during Tha Carter and Tha Carter II eras. The two-hour video shows Lil Wayne playing unreleased music, hitting the studio with a young 2 Chainz (back when he was known as Tity Boi) and Curren$y, and discussing his issues with Cash Money Records.
It’s unclear if the film will be officially released, but Lough says he is aiming to produce a finished version and has had positive conversations with Weezy’s manager Fabian Marasciullo.
“There’s basically two options: There’s a big [streaming network] that would pick it up and put it out,” he said, describing his ideal scenario. “The other option that I talked to [Fabian] about was some type of self-distribution where we just put it out ourselves to the fans. We’ll see where it ends up. It’ll go how it needs to go.”
Lough also hinted at the sequel being broken up into two parts, saying: “There’s so much footage, I think maybe there could be two films. So in that regard, it would be like 40% done. But if it’s just this one part, then I would say closer to 70% done. But then it also needs to be mixed and color corrected and all that stuff.”
Lough’s rough cut can be seen below (or on his YouTube channel).

CyHi The Prynce has taken aim at J. Cole on his latest track “B.R.A Lost Control.”
Produced by Brian AllDay and Mark Byrd, the bars-heavy song finds the longtime Kanye West affiliate attempting to strip Cole of his self-proclaimed Best Rapper Alive status — a crown he has frequently laid claim to himself.
Aside from the competitive nature of hip-hop, it seems CyHi still has a bone to pick with the Dreamville star over his 2016 track “False Prophets,” which was widely interpreted as a diss against his former G.O.O.D. Music label boss Ye.
“I been hearing a lot of n*ggas claim the best rapper alive / Two things can be true, that’s a factual lie,” he opens “B.R.A Lost Control” before referencing Cole’s brief rap battle with Kendrick Lamar: “You was scared of our good brother in that Grand National, why? / Shoulda knew you and that lil’ Honda was gonna have to collide.”
CyHi later spits: “But tell St. John that them raps just ain’t that jaw-dropping / You forgot I still owe you for ‘False Prophets’? / I rap punches that’s hard as Bernard Hopkins / And ain’t no yes men over here, my dawg, stop it.
“We like the band on the Titanic / We goin’ down with the ship before we go jumpin’ off it / So watch your mouth before you go overtalking / It’s cool ’til you run into one of his underbosses.”
“B.R.A. Lost Control” also doubles up as a display of CyHi’s own lyrical prowess, littered with the caliber of clever punchlines and slick wordplay the Atlanta native is famed for.
“I came back just to crash the summer / I put more fire on wax than Kwanzaa / ‘Cause whatever he brew [Hebrew] can be used by the bartender / Mazel tov! Shots to the glass or the car windshield / That might’ve went over your yarmulke / ‘Cause Hannukah might be the only event my bars miss for [bar mitzvah],” he raps in the first verse.
He also flips The Pharcyde‘s classic song “Passin’ Me By” into a bar, spitting: “Gun powder, the gunfire, the harmonics / Of multiple shots going off it’s called violence / Bullets keep passin’ me by, I’m far-sided.”
CyHi is far from the only G.O.O.D. Music alumnus to have fired back at J. Cole over “False Prophets.”
During an explosive interview with Justin Laboy last year, Kanye West made a number of disparaging comments about North Carolina native, even claiming that he doesn’t like Cole’s music.
“I don’t listen to J. Cole … I just heard he had a song called ‘False [Prophets]’ and somebody told me it’s halfway about me,” he said while also calling Cole “pussy” for apologizing to Kendrick Lamar.

T.I.‘s son Domani has stepped into his father’s beef with 50 Cent — and he’s looking to set the G-Unit boss straight.
Showing a level of maturity that goes way beyond his years, the 24-year-old rapper has released a new song called “Ms. Jackson” which flips the concept of OutKast‘s hit of the same name into a letter to 50’s late mother, Sabrina Jackson.
Domani begins by speaking to Ms. Jackson from beyond the grave and asking her if she’s proud of her son’s behaviour — which, in his increasingly bitter feud, has included below-the-belt social media posts mocking T.I.’s wife Tiny and son King Harris but no bars aimed at the King of the South himself.
“He’s a legend now, I guess it worked out but I need some answers / Are you happy with the way he been holding your family name? / I need to know ’cause I can’t sleep at night thinking you died in vain / I think it got to him, people won’t tell him because he pay ’em,” he raps.
In his second verse, Domani addresses 50 Cent directly, spitting: “Aye Curtis, I encourage you to do a lil research / On my whole family, but you can start with me first / I know you not familiar with a mother or a father / Maybe that’s the reason easily you’ll talk about ’em / Maybe that’s the reason you be targeting the women / Let somebody try yo Mama, bet you’d probably wanna kill ’em.”
He also cleverly flips one of 50’s biggest hits into a biting criticism of his success as a businessman: “Love it when we fall down, that’s when Curtis gets paid / Now put your lighters up if you too want the truth / Many Men sin but don’t profit like you from it / You don’t even drink but you’ll fake it for the news coverage.”
“Ms. Jackson” isn’t just a lyrical lecture, though. The song also has its more menacing moments as Domani ends the song by warning 50: “The next time you missing mama, I can send you right to her / Try your luck!”
“Ms. Jackson” follows an onslaught of diss tracks aimed at 50 Cent from T.I. himself including “War,” “The Right One” and most recently “What Bully.”
Fueled by 50 rudely dismissing his challenge to a Verzuz battle, Tip has attacked his longtime rival on all fronts, even using his dead mother and ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy’s past relationship with Diddy as ammo.
“You ain’t that savage, n*gga, you 5-0, dispatcher / Ol’ tender dick n*gga, all mad ’cause Puff let your bitch have it / Gave her tartar sauce and mustard like a fish sammich,” he taunted on “The Right One,” before adding: “You hate women, guess that’s why you can’t keep one / You can’t love ’em, ’cause from your mama you received none.”
Despite the bruising jabs, 50 has made it clear that he has no intention of getting back into the booth and engaging with T.I. in a full-fledged rap battle.
Alongside a fake “Stupid-Ass N*gga Award” certificate, he wrote on Instagram: “Goes to old rappers still trying to battle rap, ChatGPT told me that. I don’t need me to rap, YOU need me to rap. LOL get the Fvck off my page.”

There may be no new major hip-hop album this week like previous weeks (see: J. Cole The Fall-Off, A$AP Rocky Don’t Be Dumb, Baby Keem Ca$ino), but there’s no shortage of new raps that deserve your attention.
Big Sean blesses us with a short but sweet “Made In Detroit Freestyle” for Red Bull Music, which finds him spitting 60 seconds’ worth of braggadocious bars over a smooth Jake One beat.

Elsewhere, Juvenile and Megan Thee Stallion get asses shakin’ on the official remix to “B.B.B.” and Gnarls Barkley (aka CeeLo Green and Danger Mouse) return with their first new song in 18 years, “Pictures,” the lead single from their upcoming album Atlanta (out March 6).
There are still a handful of projects worth checking out this week, though. The Cool Kids have reissued their classic blog era mixtape Gone Fishing with the help of Don Cannon, Gorillaz round up rap royalty (Black Thought, Yasiin Bey and De La Soul’s Trugoy) on their eclectic new album The Mountain , and DJ/producer Chase B drops his debut LP Be Very Afraid (Vol. 1) featuring heavy-hitters like Travis Scott, Big Sean and Don Toliver.

T.I. is not letting up in his lyrical assault on 50 Cent — although this time 50 has issued a more direct response to the Atlanta rap legend.
On Wednesday (February 25), Tip released yet another diss track aimed at the G-Unit boss called “What Bully,” adding to the previously released “The Right One” and “War.”
Using 50’s viral weight-loss photo from the 2011 movie Things Fall Apart as its artwork, the song finds the Grand Hustle general tearing into Fif for being a flat-track bully and allegedly co-operating with police against his enemies.
“Cop deuces, tuck tail / Flee your fight / You the kind of sucka n*gga we don’t like / Wanna bully everybody who don’t want no problem / Then n*ggas come bully you and you don’t want no problem,” he raps on the hook over the hard-hitting production.
T.I. also lets 50 Cent know that he “ain’t Puff, I ain’t walkin’ up on you tryna buy you stuff” — a reference to 50’s claim that the Bad Boy boss once offered to take him “shopping” — before making more threats of real-life violence.
“On IG behind them fences, right now you tough / Get popped, dropped off at the Bayou, bruh,” he warns.
T.I. accompanied “What Bully” with the following message: “Msg to da Dildo dealer: I don’t make memes I MAKE MUSIC!!!! IDGAF what you erase… You keep posting = it’s Problems!!!!.”
However, his efforts to lure 50 Cent off social media and back into the booth for a full-fledged rap battle don’t appear to be having the desired effect.
Repsonding to the song on Instagram, 50 posted a fake “Stupid-Ass N*gga Award” certificate along with the caption: “Goes to old rappers still trying to battle rap, ChatGPT told me that. I don’t need me to rap, YOU need me to rap. LOL get the Fvck off my page.”

The tension between the two hip-hop heavyweights has reignited in recent weeks after T.I. revived his interest in taking on 50 Cent in a long-proposed Verzuz battle.
Clearly not keen on the idea, 50 responded by calling Tip “King Rat” and telling him to “keep my name out ya mouth.”
The Atlanta native hit back by saying that he has “lost respect” for the “Many Men” MC and no longer “wants to stand on stage with that n*gga.”
Things soon turned personal, with 50 posting an unflattering photo of T.I.’s wife Tiny on Instagram and Tip taunting 50 over his dead mother on the aforementioned diss track “The Right One.”

Wu-Tang Clan and Lauryn Hill have both been nominated for the Rock & Roll Hall of Hame.
The Staten Island rap group and Fugees star are among the Class of 2026 nominees alongside Mariah Carey, Sade, New Edition, Luther Vandross and Phil Collins.
Oasis, Jeff Buckley, Iron Maiden, Pink, Joy Division/New Order, Billy Idol, Shakira, The Black Crowes, INXS and Melissa Etheridge are also up for induction as part of a diverse group of acts that span rock, hip-hop, heavy metal, soul, R&B, pop and new wave.
Wu-Tang Clan and Lauryn Hill are both first-time nominees, despite it being well over the 25-year eligibility period since they released their first commercial recordings (Enter the Wu-Tang [36 Chambers] in 1993 and The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill in 1998, respectively).
The Wu could become the ninth hip-hop act to join the Rock Hall, while Ms. Hill is looking to become just the third female rap act to be inducted following Missy Elliott and Salt-N-Pepa.
So far, a total of 15 hip-hop acts have been voted into the Hall of Fame including JAY-Z, Eminem, 2Pac, Biggie, OutKast, A Tribe Called Quest, Run-DMC, LL Cool J and Public Enemy.
The 2026 inductees will be decided by an international panel of more than 1,200 artists, historians and music industry professionals. The Class of 2026 will then be finalized in April, followed by an induction ceremony this fall.
For Wu-Tang Clan, the welcome news comes at a difficult time following the death of one of the group’s chief visionaries, Oliver “Power” Grant.
Grant, who launched the hugely lucrative and influential streetwear brand Wu Wear and helped turn the collective into a global cultural phenomenon, passed away at the age of 52 on Tuesday (February 24).
His death was mourned by various Wu-Tang members as well as the wider hip-hop community, with Method Man writing on Instagram: “Paradise my Brother safe Travels!! [broken heart emojis] [angry face emoji] #pookie #power Bruh I am not ok .. [raincloud emoji].”
RZA expressed his grief by posting a black square on Instagram soundtracked by Boyz II Men’s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” and accompanied by the caption “5” — a nod to the Five-Percent Nation’s Supreme mathematics which inspired Power’s nickname.
Tributes also poured in from Raekwon, Cam’ron and DJ Premier, among others.

Oliver “Power” Grant, the business mastermind behind the Wu-Tang Clan, has died at the age of 52.
News of Grant’s passing was made public on Tuesday (February 24), although a cause of death is currently unknown.
Tributes have poured in from various Wu-Tang members as well as the wider hip-hop community, with Method Man sharing a photo of him and Power on Instagram along with a heartfelt message.
“Paradise my Brother safe Travels!! [broken heart emojis] [angry face emoji] #pookie #power Bruh I am not ok .. [raincloud emoji],” he wrote.
RZA expressed his grief by posting a black square soundtracked by Boyz II Men‘s “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye to Yesterday” and accompanied by the caption “5” — a nod to the Five-Percent Nation’s Supreme mathematics which inspired Power’s nickname.
“POWER we been everywhere …. now you everywhere ! [crying face emoji] [prayer emoji] the most high is merciful love you,” Raekwon added.
A childhood friend of RZA’s, Oliver Grant helped build the infrastructure that turned the Wu-Tang Clan into a global cultural phenomenon.
Alongside RZA’s brother Mitchell “Divine” Diggs, Grant heavily invested in the Staten Island rap collective during their early days, helping to fund and market classic releases like “Protect Ya Neck” and “Method Man.”
Grant’s biggest and most famous contribution to the group’s success was creating Wu Wear, which was not only one of hip-hop’s first artist-owned streetwear brands but became a hugely lucrative and influential venture.
Understanding the value of merging music with fashion, multimedia and ownership, Power laid the blueprint for countless others to follow and helped redefine the business of hip-hop.
“Wu Wear was pretty much like our entry in the fashion biz, but before I was in Wu Wear, I was making and marketing the first Wu records with RZA,” he told Passion of the Weiss in 2011. “Everything that we learned was hard knock life. You figure it out as you go along and take cues from those that are actively doing things.”
He added: “A lot of it was trial and error. There were no models.”
Underscoring his impact on hip-hop and culture at large, Cam’ron paid tribute to Oliver Grant by writing on Instagram: “Damn man!! [crying emojis] [prayer emojis] thank you for everything legend @wutangbrand.”
Alongside a photo of the two of them together, DJ Premier eulogized: “You certified a worldwide movement. A PIONEER for The Culture… WU-TANG IS FOREVER… I had some fun times touring with you and our mutual connections kept us in touch.
“May the universe welcome you with open arms. Thank you for your iconic contributions. Condolences to the entire WU family. Rest Easy Oliver ‘POWER’ Grant. Love You Brother.”
Music executive Steve Rifkind, who signed the Wu-Tang Clan to Loud Records in the early ’90s, said in his own tribute post: “Power I can’t believe this. We met in May of 1993 and have been brothers since. The laughs the cries we traveled the world together. Strongest Handshake and Hug anybody can give.
“I’m at loss of words keep on looking over us the way you always looked out for all of us when you were here. My condolences to you and your family and the WuTang Family just remember we made History. Going to miss you like crazy rest in peace. #wutangforever.”
HipHopDX sends its condolences to Oliver “Power” Grant’s family, friends and fans.

Nipsey Hussle is set to be honored this weekend with his own intersection in his beloved hometown of Los Angeles.
According to ABC7, the intersection at Crenshaw Boulevard and Slauson Avenue will be renamed “Nipsey Hussle Square” in memory of the late rapper’s influence, entrepreneurial spirit and deep connection to the community.
The new street sign will be officially unveiled at a ceremony on Saturday (February 28) which will be attended by Nipsey’s brother and business partner Blacc Sam, as well as L.A. City Council President Marqueece Harris-Dawson, councilmember Heather Hutt and California State Assemblymember Isaac Bryan.
The intersection carries deep significance as the nearby plaza was purchased by Nipsey shortly before his death in early 2019 and serves as the home of his Neighborhood Nip Foundation.
The Grammy-nominated MC also referenced the intersection throughout his catalog, most notably on his 2013 song “Crenshaw and Slauson (True Story).”
Hyde Park Metro station, which sits opposites the intersection, was temporarily renamed after Nipsey Hussle last summer to celebrate his 40th birthday.
“This was really a true partnership. [Nipsey’s family and estate] actually reached out to us, really knowing that Nipsey was a part of this community,” Zoe Zeigler, executive officer of Marketing at Metro, said at the time.
In other news, fans can look forward to a first posthumous album from Nipsey Hussle this year.
The rapper’s Marathon Clothing brand recently announced that a joint project with close collaborator Bino Rideaux called Prolific is set to be released this summer.
The news was accompanied by the lead single, “Reckless,” produced by Mike & Keys, the L.A.-bred production duo behind the bulk of Nipsey’s final album Victory Lap.
The project will arrive more than six years after Nip was tragically gunned down outside his Marathon Clothing store in South L.A. aged 33.
His killer, Eric Holder, is currently serving a 60-year prison sentence after being convicted of first-degree murder.

T.I. is keeping his foot on 50 Cent‘s neck by unloading a second diss song aimed at his longtime rival.
Just a day after declaring “War” on the G-Unit general, Tip has doubled back with a longer, more blistering track called “The Right One” on which he aims a flurry of bruising jabs at 50.
Backed by a hard-hitting trap beat, the Atlanta rap legend gets personal as he taunts Fif over his appearance, career moves outside of rap and his baby mother Daphne Joy, who was previously in a relationship with Diddy.
“N*gga, you got less talent / You’re less attractive, more average / You ain’t got more motion, you’re just movin’ where it’s less traffic / You moved out the way of rappin’ and they gave you the DMX package / You ain’t that savage, n*gga, you 5-0, dispatcher / Ol’ tender dick n*gga, all mad ’cause Puff let your bitch have it / Gave her tartar sauce and mustard like a fish sammich,” he snarls.
Even 50’s deceased mother is not off limits as T.I. spits: “You hate women, guess that’s why you can’t keep one / You can’t love ’em, ’cause from your mama you received none / Oh no, you’d rather set fires to houses with babies in ’em / I got paperwork from n*ggas in prison, your name is in ’em.”
After downplaying the Queens, New York native’s musical legacy and warning him that he will “end up somewhere pushin’ daffodils,” Tip ends the scathing diss song by bringing up 50’s past beefs with other rappers.
“Murder Inc. pumped his ass full of bullet holes / Cam did him like a ho on the radio / Took losses from Rick Ross and Fat Joe (remember that?) / Jada spanked that baby thinkin’ it’s sweet / Kanye stood up to him, made his first week a defeat,” he adds.
50 Cent has yet to respond.
“The Right One” and “War” both follow a heated back-and-forth between T.I. and 50 Cent over a potential Verzuz battle between the two hip-hop heavyweights.
Earlier this month, Tip revived his interest in facing off against Fif in the popular soundclash series, only for the “Many Men” MC to call him “King Rat” and tell him to “keep my name out ya mouth.”
T.I. hit back: “You playing on MY NAME when only one of us a rat in real life…you know I got your paperwork right? And my transcript is available online. Your excuses is useless. Get yo ho ass in the box or STFU and live in fear. You soft son.”
The Grand Hustle honcho later said on Million Dollaz Worth of Game that he has “lost respect” for 50 and no longer “wants to stand on stage with that n*gga.”
He also claimed that Fif previously agreed to do a Verzuz battle but backed out.

Halle Berry has revealed her favorite Kendrick Lamar song — although it might not win her any points with Drake.
The Oscar-winning actress appeared on the latest episode of UPROXX’s That Tracks series alongside Crime 101 co-stars Chris Hemsworth and Mark Ruffalo, where the trio were presented with a series of music-related scenarios and asked if each one “tracks.”
Attention shifted to Kendrick when Hemsworth read out the prompt: “If I’m stuck in traffic in the 101, I’m listening to my favorite L.A. based artist, Kendrick Lamar. Does that track?”
Berry made it no secret that she’s a Kendrick stan by replying: “Absolutely, hell yes!” before going one step further and revealing which song she’d be bumping in traffic.
“Say Drake!” she added with a laugh, imitating K. Dot’s infamous set-up line from his Grammy-winning diss song “Not Like Us.” “That’s all I’m gonna say.”
Berry further caped for the Compton native by informing Hemsworth and Ruffalo that Kendrick’s performance at the 2025 Super Bowl is still “the number one-performing halftime show ever.”
“Crazy! … Yeah, let’s go with that — just because,” Ruffalo sheepishly chimed in, agreeing with Berry’s pick.
Hemsworth also revealed himself to be a Kendrick fan, responding to the prompt by saying: “On certain days, for sure.”
Swipe below to watch the clip.
The love is mutual between Halle Berry and Kendrick Lamar, who famously namedropped the Die Another Day star in the chorus to his 2012 hit “Money Trees.”
Things between Berry and Drake, on the other hand, don’t appear to be as smooth after the 6 God used the actress’ image without her permission as the cover art for his 2023 single “Slime You Out” with SZA.
Taking the title of the track to heart, the artwork depicted Berry covered in green slime at the 2012 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards.
Following its release, Berry issued an angry yet subliminal post on Instagram which read: “Sometimes you have to be the bigger guy… even if you’re a woman!” along with a middle finger emoji.
She was more specific about her grievances in the comments section, writing: “Didn’t get my permission. That’s not cool I thought better of him!”
Berry replied to another fan: “When people you admire disappoint you you have to be the bigger person and move on!”

T.I. has unleashed a new diss song aimed at 50 Cent following their recent back-and-forth over a potential Verzuz battle.
Released late Sunday (February 22), the aptly-titled “War” finds the Grand Hustle general firing warning shots at his G-Unit adversary and tempting him back into the proverbial ring.
“Top three in my city, I know I’m in there / And I ain’t number three, what you gettin’ at? / I know we ain’t tryin’ to pretend that the king won’t get a sledgehammer for an insect,” Tip spits over a thunderous, battle-ready beat.
The self-proclaimed King of the South also dismisses a “big dog talkin’ real Shih Tzu” and warns his opp to “settle down” otherwise he’ll “turn ya head around on a cap, n*gga, better get a gown / But the only place your head is in the ground.”
The brief minute-long track ends with T.I. asking: “Oh, you n*ggas want war?” before letting out an evil laugh.
50 Cent has yet to respond.
“War” intensifies T.I. and 50’s long-running rivalry, which has reignited in recent weeks amid talk of them potentially facing off in a Verzuz battle.
Earlier this month, Tip revived his interest in going against Fif in Swizz Beatz and Timbaland‘s popular soundclash series, only for the Queens, New York native to call him “King Rat” and tell him to “keep my name out ya mouth.”
The Atlanta rap legend hit back: “You playing on MY NAME when only one of us a rat in real life…you know I got your paperwork right? And my transcript is available online. Your excuses is useless. Get yo ho ass in the box or STFU and live in fear. You soft son.”
T.I. later said on Million Dollaz Worth of Game that he has “lost respect” for 50 Cent and no longer “wants to stand on stage with that n*gga.”
He also claimed that 50 previously agreed to do a Verzuz battle but backed out.
The back-and-forth has since turned personal, with 50 Cent posting an unflattering photo of T.I.’s wife Tiny on Instagram while likening his son King Harris (who had taken issue with his aforementioned post) to Pepe the Frog.

Busta Rhymes and J Dilla are reuniting for a new album this year.
The Flipmode Squad frontman held a listening session in New York City on Thursday night (February 20) for Dillagence 2, the sequel to his and Dilla’s original 2007 mixtape.
Joined by Statik Selektah and DJ Tony Touch, Busta gave a room full of lucky fans and friends the first opportunity to hear the project — which includes what appears to be a collaboration with Lil Wayne.
Statik shared a brief snippet of a song seemingly featuring Weezy on his Instagram Stories, tagging the Young Money superstar in the clip. If so, it would be the first time that the world will get to hear Wayne rap over Dilla production.
Announcing Dillagence 2 ahead of the listening party on Instagram, Busta wrote: “THE BLESSINGS DON’T STOP SO WE DON’T STOP!!! NEVERRR!!! BREAKING NEWS!!!! [eyes emojis] BUSTA RHYMES x J DILLA NEW ALBUM!! POP UP LISTENING SESSION TONIGHT!! [fire emojis].”
Further details, such as a release date or tracklist, have yet to be revealed.
Released in November 2007, more than a year after J Dilla’s untimely death, Dillagence served as a tribute to the late producer as Busta Rhymes made use of some of his most iconic beats, as well as a few original instrumentals.
Hosted by Mick Boogie, the mixtape featured appearances from fellow Dilla disciples Q-Tip, Phonte and Talib Kweli, as well as Raekwon, M.O.P. and Rah Digga.
By the time of its release, Busta and Jay Dee had built up a chemistry as one of hip-hop’s greatest rapper-producer duos, combining for countless classics such as “Still Shining,” “Show Me What You Got” and “Turn Me Up Some.”
In fact, Dilla was a mainstay throughout Busta’s solo catalog, contributing to six of his first seven albums. (1998’s Extinction Level Event: The Final World Front was the only one which didn’t feature his sonic fingerprints.)
“J Dilla left me with over 300 beats before he passed. I’m extremely selective with who I give them to, which is why I haven’t given them to anybody except Raekwon and that was for Only Built 4 Cuban Linx Part Two,” Busta told GQ in 2020.
“I’ve always tried to represent and uphold the legacy of the late, great J Dilla, through all of my albums … I’m a huge fan of Dilla. I think Dilla is probably top three best producers in the world. To me, my top three favorite producers ever are Dr. Dre, Q-Tip and J Dilla.”
