At the family reunion, who we introducin’? Nick Cannon’s Wild’ N Out is returning to VH1 next month, with new episodes featuring a number of guests including Fatboy Sse, Trinidad James and Lost Boyz.
Set to return on Tuesday, April 6, the improv rap battle show picks up with new episodes from the second half of Season 15, which was shot pre-pandemic. Additional guests set to appear are the cast of Black Ink Crew: Compton, Cuban Doll, Juvenile, Headkrack, Da Brat, Ambjaay, Mc Lyte, Rapsody, Fabo, 24kGolden, Big Tigger, Omb Peezy, Tyla Yaweh, Young Joc, Peter & Corey Gunz, Queen Najia and Donnell Rawlings.
Wild N’ Out returns to VH1 nearly a year after the last episode aired on April 14, 2020. Since then, Cannon has been the subject of backlash after he made anti-Semitic comments during a July 2020 episode of his podcast. Following social media outcry, ViacomCBS parted ways with Cannon, firing the Wild ‘N Out host.

Twenty years ago, while doing time in prison for assault with a firearm, Lavonte Stewart thought often about his time playing Little League baseball while growing up on Chicago’s rough South Side.
During his teen years, baseball was what had helped him to stay out of trouble, get good grades and win a college athletic scholarship.
“If I hadn’t fallen in with the wrong group and given in to the temptations of the dark side shortly after I started college, I obviously would have been miles ahead,” Stewart, now 41, tells People. “But prison gave me a lot of time to think.

Hip-hop is super competitive, and sometimes rappers spend so much time trying to outdo each other that they miss out on good music. For instance, in his book, the Queens rapper talks about turning down the chance to collaborate with the Notorious B.I.G. on his 1997 Havoc-produced track "Last Day." Back then, Pee just wasn't a fan, but hindsight is 20/20.
"A lot of the people were coming on the block back in the days when Biggie had 'Party and Bullsh--,' his first record, and they would play it. I wasn't into it," Prodigy told Mixtape Daily. "I was focused on Mobb Deep. I had tunnel vision: I really didn't give a f--- what anybody was doin' in rap music, except for Mobb Deep and Nas and our little circle.

Happy Born Day to the "Punch Line King" Lloyd Banks, who turns 28 today. Banks (aka Boy Wonder, aka Blue Hefner) has a lot to celebrate this year. He has a smash record ("Beamer, Benz or Bentley"), arguably the hottest independent record label (G-Unit Records) and he's in the midst of a bidding war between labels who are vying to release the sequel to his classic 2004 debut The Hunger for More.
As a Southside, Jamaica Queens native, I've had the pleasure of watching Banks' career blossom. His success is nothing new to any cat from Queens, who will tell ya we breed Kings from the borough (Run Dmc, LL Cool J, Nas, 50 Cent, Lost Boyz, Onyx, Kool G. Rap and the Juice Crew, just to name a few).

Thirteen years after B.I.G.'s death, we look back on his life as hip-hop's brightest star.

Tuesday (March 9) is a day not to mourn, but to celebrate the life and legacy of one of music's most gifted artists: the Notorious B.I.G.
His voice, his flow, his rhymes, his swag — whatever you wanted, B.I.G. had it to offer. He could tell stories, battle it out, ignite the party or kick game to the ladies. Christopher Wallace was made for rap.
We didn't get much time with Biggie. He put out his first album in 1994, and he died in early 1997 before the release of his second LP (Life After Death). Due to his work ethic, however, we have a catalog of timeless music that is often imitated, never duplicated. As mesmerizing as a Biggie song was, part of his allure as an artist was his charming personality.
