Slim Jesus Was The Surprise Guest At Chief Keef's "Bang 3 Hologram Fest"

"Drill Time" rapper Slim Jesus was the surprise guest at Chief Keef's "Bang 3 Hologram Fest." Unfortunately, the event was shut down right after he was announced. The name Slim Jesus continues to proliferate in the weeks following the release of his controversial "Drill Time" music video, which now has almost 6 million views on YouTube. Yesterday (Sept. 18), Jesus released his second track and video, "Buck Buck" (already approaching 200K). He also happened to be scheduled as the surprise guest at Chief Keef's "Bang 3 Hologram Fest" later that night. Jesus hinted at his surprise appearance in the afternoon before the show.

Lil Mouse Disses Slim Jesus With "Kill Time"

Lil Mouse disses Slim Jesus with "Kill Time." In the past few years, a number of teenage rappers from Chicago have gone viral thanks to breakout music videos filled with violent paraphernalia. The latest is "Drill Time" rapper Slim Jesus -- wait, Jesus isn't from Chicago, he's from Hamilton, Ohio. But he does make drill music that is clearly indebted to the genre created by young Chicago rappers. Jesus' breakout hit, "Drill Time," has caused some controversy and it has prompted other rappers to respond with diss tracks. The latest diss record aimed at Jesus comes from an artist who broke out in similar viral fashion about three years ago -- Lil Mouse. Mouse was 13 years old when Lil Wayne remixed one of his tracks, "Get Smoked," and included it on his 2012 mixtape Dedication 4. Mouse is now 16, two years younger than Jesus. Soon after "Drill Time" started to blow up, Jesus became the target of a few diss records over the same "Drill Time" beat, such as this and this -- which have both circulated quickly as they've ridden the hype of Jesus' original. Mouse's new track, which he's called "Kill Time," is certainly the most high-profile diss we've heard thus far. "Kill Time" also comes soon after Slim Jesus has received a cosign from Chief Keef, who selected the Ohio rapper to be a surprise guest at last night's "Bang 3 Hologram Fest." As has been Sosa's luck of late, the show was shut down and Jesus never got to perform. Lil Bibby has also come out in support of Jesus. In response to much of the controversy around "Drill Time," Slim Jesus has said that he doesn't actually partake in the violent activities he raps about. He does plan to continue making drill music, though, as that's the music that he enjoys listening to and that inspires him. Unlike Bibby and Sosa, Lil Mouse isn't cool with that.

Chief Keef Hologram Concert Cancelled Yet Again

L.A. venue cancels Chief Keef's "Bang 3 Hologram Fest"; Keef moves the concert to the parking lot next-door. See what happens next on FilmOn.com. Chief Keef continues to fail in his attempts to host a hologram concert. Due to outstanding warrants in Chicago, he's banned from performing in his hometown. Those stipulations apparently extend to virtual Sosa, too, and, in July, an attempted hologram performance in Hammond, Indiana, just outside of Chicago, was shut down minutes after it began. We thought Sosa's hologram would finally be able to hold an uninterrupted performance in L.A. at his "Bang 3 Hologram Fest," which was scheduled to take place tonight (Sept. 18) at the Henry Fonda Theater. The concert was also supposed to mark the official release of disc 2 to Keef's new Bang 3 album. Unfortunately, it has just been announced that tonight's show is a no-go. Apparently an altercation took place at the venue during rehearsal, which caused AEG, the company that owns the Henry Fonda Theater, to call off the entire concert. Grant Zimmerman, an A&R at FilmOn TV, the company to which Keef is signed, told HipHopDX his account of what went down. "Security tried to attack a staff member for drinking the Fonda's water during an official walk-through for the event. Unfortunately the Fondas tried to stop us from throwing an amazing event due to a lack of professionalism on their end, but the show will go on." Sound plausible? FilmOn's CEO, Alki David, has also released a statement regarding the cancellation of his event: "AEG and the Fonda Theater have continued the shameful cycle of blaming hip-hop and the artistic expression of urban youth for their own corporate malfeasance." In his statement, he also likened the actions of AEG and the Fonda Theater to those of Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel, who spoke out against the possibility of a Keef concert in Chicago, and to the Madison Square Garden events division, who refused to partner with David and Keef to host a benefit concert for the family of slain one-year-old Dillan Harris, who was killed during the same incident that killed Glo Gang rapper Capo. Like Zimmerman, who blamed the Fonda family, Keef has spoken out against the theater's namesake, the late actor Henry Fonda, as well as his daughter, Academy Award-winning 77-year-old actress Jane Fonda.

Drake & Future Reveal Mixtape Title, Artwork & Release Date

Drake & Future's "What A Time To Be Alive" is out Sunday on iTunes. The world has been patiently waiting for news of Drake and Future's joint mixtape, and while the two have been hinting at the release over the last few days, official word has finally made its way out. Drake has shared the artwork for the project on Instagram, captioning it "WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE available at 8pm EST, Sunday on ITunes @future 💎". The cover features a collection of diamonds, something the two rappers have been hinting at through emojis over the last couple of days. Drizzy also announced a special FBG-assisted episode of OVO Radio would be airing at 6 PM Sunday night. Metro Boomin and DJ Esco will be participating in the broadcast, and we assume Future and Drake will at least stop by.

Drake Confirms Mixtape With Future Is On The Way

Drake & Future's joint mixtape looks to be the real deal and coming soon. Update: Drake has officially announced the mixtape. After weeks of rumors & speculations, which included a fake countdown that turned out to be one big troll job on Friday night, Drake has finally confirmed the news that what we've all been waiting to hear, that his mixtape with Future is indeed on the way. While performing down in ATL Friday night for the Music Midtown Festival, Drake reportedly confirmed to the crowd during his set that he and Future have a joint project on the way. He says "take a break from Views now it's back to that, and me and Future got a tape before that." Later, Drizzy added that “Sunday were making a motherf*ckin movie,” ultimately leaving us to presume that in two days our wishes will come true and this tape will finally be here. Guess we’ll have to play the waiting game for two more days to find out, but at least we know it's actually coming.

Migos Announce Departure From 300 Ent

Migos announce their departure from 300. Migos dropped off their new mixtape today, Back to the Bando, which arrives just a couple of months after their debut album, Yung Rich Nation. Perhaps the trio were newly re-energized after the release of their debut, or perhaps they just wanted to put out some more music for the fans, whatever the case, the new mixtape also comes with an announcement. Migos are no longer with the independent label 300 Ent, so they announced on twitter this afternoon. Migos initially linked with the Lyor Cohen-founded label back in June of 2014, so the relationship hasn't lasted too long. They're still repping Quality Control though, and they teased a big announcement on the way. What do you think it could be?

T.I. No Longer With Columbia Records

T.I. has "exited his deal with Columbia Records." Last weekend, T.I. surprised fans with a brand new 5-track EP out of the blue titled Da Nic’. However, what most of us failed to notice was it was released independently through Empire Distribution because Tip is no longer a member of Columbia Records, the home of his latest album Paperwork. Speaking with HitsDoubleDaily in a recent interview, Tip confirmed his departure from Columbia and said he’s currently looking for his next move. He says, "Having just exited my deal at Columbia, I was a rogue artist, busting creativity, just waiting to put music in the marketplace, so while I’m sorting out my next situation, I’m blessed enough to be able to control my destiny and put music out as quickly as I want to, and was able to release a Tip album, which I had wanted to do for a long time." No word yet as for what he’s going to do for his next album The Dime Trap, but maybe that’s what’s causing the delay? Look for The Dime Trap to drop before the year’s end (hopefully).
