KANYE WEST PUSHES THE ENVELOPE

The ongoing beef between Kayne West & Drake has been elevated to new heights. Along with verbal shots fired at each other, West pushed the envelope this week. He took advertising for his Donda release to new levels. This is a move that will hit Drake close to home. As the two artists vie for Billboard spots with West’s Donda release on Sunday and Drake’s Certified Lover Boy release slated for September 3rd, Kayne went so far as to place DONDA billboards throughout downtown Toronto (Drake’s hometown).

HipHopDX reports that the two artists jumped their rivalry off after Drake took a jab at Kanye on Trippie Redd’s “Betrayal,” to which Ye responded by channeling his inner Joker and exposing Drake’s home address on social media — a move that got a Joker-esque chuckle out of the OVO rapper. This move by Ye shows that the beef is ongoing and shows no signs of slowing down anytime soon.

KANYE WEST VS. DRAKE (TALE OF THE TAPE)

Both Donda & CLB boasts several big name features. Drake listed some of his features on the billboards including JAY-Z, Future, Lil Baby, 21 Savage & Young Thug. Kanye’s ongoing story is how verses from Chris Brown and Soulja Boy were removed from the album. Both artists have voiced their angst towards the Chicago MC. Iit should be a sight to see how this long-lasting feud will pan out over time.

ZACHERY LE’ON is riding the wave of his fifth studio project release Black Elderberry to rave reviews. Le’on planned to release the project last summer. The ongoing pandemic had something to say about that. Now that everyone’s officially back outside, what better way for Le’on to flex than to drop the official music video for Black Elderberry this week!

Zachery Le’on – Black Elderberry

Hailing from Indiana, Le’on has become a mainstay in the Indianapolis Hip-Hop landscape. The laid back and meticulous flow of Le’on flows smoothly with the track produced by Hungerforce. Black Elderberry is a ride-out track with serious replay potential! Shot at Cleo’s Bodega and produced by Najah Tai, the video features cameos from some of Naptown’s most renowned artists including SKYPP and Mr. Indiana just to name a few.

F*ck that you deserve the world sh*t… cause I know I do, I deserve the stars and the planets too!”

Kash Doll, “Single & Happy”

Summer is almost over but the vibes are not! Kash Doll gifted us with her new hit “Single & Happy” and I don’t think we knew we needed this, but THANK YOU KASH! The 29-year-old “Rich Hoochie” rapper teamed up with Eric Bellinger and Wale to create this liberating anthem for both men and women. It is currently available on all platforms and it’s such a feel-good record that you have no choice but to listen to it over and over again.

I can’t speak for how single or happy you are, but what I do know is that Kash, Eric, and Wale went off on this track. No matter how you feel about any of the participating artists, you can’t help but to bop your head and sing along. The metaphors, lyricism, and delivery in this work are nothing short of fantastic!

A woman tried to curve me, she flourished in mediocrity.”

Wale, “Single & Happy”

You can listen to the song on your favorite streaming service, but if you just can’t wait to hear this 3 minutes of a boss anthem – click below for the lyric video down below!

Kash Doll recently took to twitter saying, “I make music for me and women like me…. I like sex but I love money more.” Ms. Doll. We stan.

hack /hak/ v.

2..use a computer to gain unauthorized access to data in a system.
“they hacked into the bank’s computer”

SO WHAT HAPPENED??

You think that it can never happen to you, right? We’re all cautious to a fault when it comes to our online security. You take all necessary precautions to protect what matters most from changing passwords to cache cleaning.

But then one day you wake up and grab your phone or head to your laptop. You notice things aren’t the same from the night before. Passwords aren’t working and it’s causing you to really think to yourself…

“Have I been hacked?”

This trend took a major turn last week as the country of Afghanistan was overtaken by the Taliban. The country’s media organizations as well as their entire government was taken down by a group of hackers known as the Yemen Cyber Army. The world has been watching as the regime has had the people of Afghanistan in the grip of fear over the past 48 hours.

No one’s exempt to these types of attacks. TenthLetterMedia and Straight Official Magazine both were hacked on Monday night. Our readers saw a dark screen with the headline “HaCKED By Yemen YE ALI. ” This has us down for a few hours initially. I was in a line at a local gas station earlier in the day and read a headline on a newspaper that said AFGHANISTAN FALLS . The subheading read “Yemen Cyber Army Takes Down Government.”

I thought to myself, “that’s way over there and I don’t see how that can affect us.” Once the site was up, we were hacked once again. We were wiped out as our coding team caught wind to what they were doing.

All of our hard work just gone in less than 24 hours. There were so many questions. Why us??

SO WHAT’S NEXT??

Lucky for us, we have one of the best coding teams in the business! This slight hiccup only sets us back in terms of content. Before the hack, we were revamping Straight Official as this year marks the ten-year anniversary of the publication. As the FLEET DJs home publication, our staff consists of the coalitions’ best writers, DJ’s, radio personalities and models. Each member spending the course of a decade making names for themselves through these digital pages.

We intend to get the eyes of the world on Fleet by getting to know them better. With over 500+ members and growing, there will be endless stories to tell on how this organization is changing lives. We will also celebrate all facets of our changing society and culture. We’ll have fingers on the pulse of news, health and wellness, sports, technology and much more. We are launching several new podcasts, including the new Straight Fire Podcast which will premiere this month via Twitch.
