This is the 6th studio LP from New York emcee Knowledge the Pirate. Discovered by Will Smith’s former bodyguard Charlie Mack, would sign to Interscope Records for a brief amount of time before leaving the game temporarily and re-emerging in the 2010s as a close Roc Marciano affiliate. His full-length debut Flintlock eventually saw the light of day in the summer of 2018, which was followed up with the sophomore effort Black Cesar as well as the debut EP Family Jewels and his 3rd album Hidden Treasures. My favorite in his discography would be the Big Ghost Ltd.-produced Wolves Don’t Eat with Shepherds and having Marci producing The Round Table raised the stacks exponentially coming off of 5 lbs of Pressure.

“Eating Etiquette” was a great drumless single to start the rollout giving the ultimate fine dining experience whereas “Golden Rules” works in a boom bap instrumental with a prominent vocal sample talking about trying to keep his team together. “Takes a 10” has a significantly funkier vibe telling us what it was like for him in the grittiest parts of the City of Dreams leading into “The Outfit” stripping the drums again to talk about keeping the flame on the stove.

Tory Lanez has reportedly been rushed to the hospital after being stabbed while out on the prison yard.

According to TMZ, the incident happened on Monday morning (May 12) at California Correctional Institution. While the motivation for the attack is unclear, the report states that another inmate was the culprit and the singer was immediately transported to a nearby hospital.

Thankfully, the injury is said to be non-life-threatening.

Tory is currently serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. And according to a court filing last month, Megan’s lawyers recently visited him in prison to obtain his deposition ahead of the upcoming civil trial for Meg’s defamation lawsuit against YouTuber Milagro Gramz.

The Game is being forced to sell his Calabasas mansion after a judge approved the sale of his property to help fund the $7 million judgement against him.

The Compton rapper was accused by a woman named Priscilla Rainey of sexual assault during the production of his dating show She’s Got Game.

Game refused to appear in court regarding the suit and in 2016 a default judgement was issued against him with the rapper ordered to pay Rainey a little over $7 million.

Rainey had previously requested that the court sell The Game’s mansion to cover the debt as the rapper has refused to pay the sum awarded by the court.

The Game had attempted to avoid the ruling by claiming that he house is actually owned by JTT Holdings, which he also has equity in. However, the court ruled that JTT Holdings was a shell company and that it can be forcibly sold.

The mansion is currently on the market for $4 million, a figure still significantly short of the $7 million judgement. The Game has yet to comment on the ruling.
