(Video) Ebro Apologizes To Marisa Mendez & Ty Dolla $ign On The Hot 97 Morning Show

As most of our readers and ALL of my followers know, I’ve been up on Ty Dolla $ign for some time…tweeting, posting and even interviewing him just to spread the music out because he’s THAT dope. Our darling Ebro wasn’t buying what I was selling for a while, but he finally has come around (maybe after seeing Ty kill that Summer Jam stage?!) and took to the airwaves this morning to apologize to us both for not realizing sooner just how talented the Cali crooner is. I mean, he writes, sings, produces AND plays instruments! C’mon son! Check out Ty’s full sit-down on the Hot 97 Morning Show this morning below…and look out for that lovely apology around the 8:50 mark. What’s that they say? Oh, yes…”I TOLD YOU SO.” Ha!

Every year, the annual XXL Freshman cover creates a huge buzz, opening the door to much debate about whether these coveted 10 (now up to 12) artists deserve the spotlight as “the next big thing.” Since its inception in 2008, the cover has become bigger and bigger, now being practically a rite of passage for new artists in the game.

IFWT Interview: King Los Talks Bad Boy Departure, Diddy’s ‘Nobody’ Rant, Putting The DMV On With Wale & More

Fresh off the release of his new mixtape, Zero Gravity II, I sat down to chop it up with King Los at 25 Degrees in Hollywood…….and had quite possibly the best milkshake of my life. Los and I, along with his longtime girlfriend Lola Monroe, had just left the Revolt studios across the street, catching YG’s show and bicken back bein’ bool with him and his 400 crew before hunger…and business…prevailed. I wanted to catch up with the Baltimore wordsmith to discuss his new project, and get the word straight from the horse’s mouth on his Bad Boy departure and all the rumors surrounding the recipient of Diddy’s epic rant sampled on Rick Ross’ Mastermind cut, “Nobody.” In the last month alone, Los celebrated his son’s first birthday, his own birthday, released a thorough project that trended on Twitter for days, and embarked on a cross-country journey with longtime friend and collaborator, Kid Ink, for the “My Own Lane” tour…and that’s all surface stuff. An hour, 2 turkey burgers and that amazing milkshake later…I learned there’s so much more going on in this King’s court than most realize, and the future is looking royally good. Find out what he and Wale are plotting, what Weezy is inquiring and what Drake told him during a recent run-in below!


IFWT Exclusive Photos: Rihanna & Drake Canoodle In The Club After MTV Movie Awards

Rihanna and Drake have been the topic of many a conversation as of late, as they’ve all but flat out confirmed they’re a couple. From grinding on each other on stage to globe-trotting together and showing some PDA during public outings, ‘AubRih’ are definitely entertainment’s latest ‘it’ couple….should they actually be a couple, that is. Last night, they put their love on display once again, this time at one of their favorite clubs – Hollywood hotspot, Greystone Manor. My girl/fashion blogger Marisol happened to be in the building as well celebrating her 26th birthday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHICA!) and snapped some exclusive pics of the pair for IFWT! Hit the gallery for a few more of the night.


(Video) Ty Dolla $ign Brings Out Travi$ Scott For “Familiar” In Philly

On Saturday night, Ty Dolla $ign, Travi$ Scott and New Jersey up-and-comer Topaz Jones all hit the stage in Philly at the University of Pennsylvania. With Trav and Ty finally being on the same bill, the pair performed their collab “Familiar” together for the first time, a cut off Ty’s debut EP, Beach House. The track also features Chi-Town rapper Fredo Santana, who Ty performed the song with last month when he made his way to the Windy City. Since Ty and Trav are both the homies, I took the trip down to Philly, and figured while I was there, might as well record the performance for IFWT! Check out the footage below.
