#FMSpotlight: Rich Amiri’s Bursting Out of Boston With New Singles

Today is a day for new music! Bursting out of Boston, artist Rich Amiri’s new singles “ruthless” and “trouble” have been released.

According to an interview Amiri did back in March with “Lyrical Lemonade” some artist that have influenced his music and style are Tecca, Speaker Knockerz, Lil Keed, Nba Youngboy. He credits a lot of his success to promoting himself on Tik Tok. Growing from 600 followers to over 200k in a little over a year. As for his flow, he says that he has been making this type of music from the beginning. But it has developed and transformed over time. Although Rich Amiri’s new singles have hit the scene, his first song still remains special. It was titled “Me For Me.” And the Boston underdog created the entire thing on his own. Using Garbage Band Mobile and Apple headphones.

What We Know About Rich Amiri’s New Tracks

The Boston underground artist hit the scene earlier this year. And after releasing a few tracks on SoundCloud, his smooth vocals and autotune caught people by surprise. But what was even more shocking to fans was that this well-rounded artist was only 18 years old!

As for the new tracks, they have an distinctive tempo and vibe that is unlike any other. The two-pack single titled “Ruthless” and “Trouble” were produced by Synthetic. On “Ruthless” Rich Amiri cuts through the power of subsonic bass and hyperactive synths with smooth triples.  “Trouble” steps up in the energy department. Rich spews the bars effortlessly giving the raging instrumental a platform which credits by Maajins and Pooka.

 

Rich Amiri’s new singles continue his busy year of making music. In June he dropped “For The Better,” which was his debut project. And featured his maturity and unimaginable songwriting skills. As for the artist’s future, he hopes to bring a rap scene to Boston allowing it to be a real player in music.

Gucci Mane Tells Rappers To Stop Dissing The Dead On New Song

Gucci Mane is calling for his fellow rappers to stop dissing the dead. On his new song “Dissin’ the Dead,” the Alabama native expresses his regret over popularizing the trend of disrespecting fallen enemies. He also calls for the young generation to follow his lead.

A visual crafted by Omar the Director accompanies the song. In it, Gucci Mane posts up in a cemetery while wearing hoodies commemorating Trouble and Young Dolph. Coincidentally, the track dropped on Wednesday, which would’ve been Dolph’s 37th birthday.

Gucci Mane’s history of dissing the dead

Gucci Mane has done his fair share of dissing the dead, however. During his Verzuz with rival Jeezy, Guwop performed “The Truth”, a diss track aimed at Jeezy’s friend Pookie Loc. Gucci allegedly killed Pookie in self-defense in 2005.

Guwop added insult to injury after the song ended, continuing to disrespect Pooke in front of Jeezy. “Damn! Put that n***a’s a** in the dirt,” he taunted. “Smoking on Pookie Loc tonight.”

Gucci made another reference to Pookie on his “Rumors” collab with Lil Durk in January. “D.A dropped my murder, didn’t have evidence to prove it/I think my house is haunted, yeah, by who? The ghost of Pookie,” La Flare rapped.

However, Gucci Mane refers to Pookie on “Dissin’ the Dead” in a much more respectful manner. “I’m the one put your boy name on a stone/I dissed the dead and I knew it was wrong,” he says.

Dissing the dead in Hip Hop

Disrespecting the dead has become more prevalent in hip hop in recent years. Lil Durk dissed his late rival FBG Duck on the leaked track “High As Duck in December 2020. Meanwhile, NBA Youngboy made references to King Von’s murder on “Bring The Hook” earlier this year.

Recently, Soulja Boy appeared to make fun of Trouble’s passing in an Instagram rant following his murder in June. The pair exchanged words after Soulja released his song “Stretch Some” following Young Dolph’s murder.

Gucci Mane isn’t the only rapper to change his stance on disrespecting the dead. Last year, Lil Durk promised to stop the practice after the deluxe release of The Voice. Florida rapper Julio Foolio followed not long after, calling it “childish.”

Trouble’s ‘Female Friend’ Speaks Out, Stating She Is ‘Traumatized’

Famed Atlanta rapper Trouble was gunned down during a stay at a “female friend’s” house. On June 5, this fatal event cemented the loss of the rapper’s life and all over senseless negligence of human decency.

It’s now clear that the nature of the incident was due to domestic violence. The suspect, Jamichael Jones, reportedly punched his ex-girlfriend in her face and proceeded to shoot Skoob once in his chest.

This friend has emerged with a note to her once silenced Instagram. Ultimately, her problem is the media’s lack of condolences that seem to come to her at this time. She barely gives insight into the incident, but she expressed how she’s “traumatized.” Fans are indifferent to her approach and even her need to address anyone’s opinion of her for that matter.

Details of the attack continue to formulate and take over the internet. Jones gave himself up to Clayton County authorities days after a warrant was issued for his arrest. 11Alive News captured these moments during his submissive arrest. “His mother was a huge resource in helping us apprehend him,” a Sherriff’s deputy said in a press release.

Trouble’s Lover Scorned

Trouble’s supposed girlfriend, Alexis Shalae, also plastered a message on social media following the tragic news of his passing. In her heartfelt delivery on IG, she shared how Trouble “was just at the wrong place wrong time.”

https://twitter.com/balleralert/status/1534264835260678151?s=20&t=d9v17_s4NaQFBV22vRDEpg

Death and rappers seem to be two words that remain a trending pair. While many fans mourn the death of these pronounced figures, family and friends are amongst those affected the most. Presumably the narratives of a cheating scandal brew amid newly surfaced information. It remains evident that acts of a jealous lover have claimed another life.

Late Rapper Trouble Reminds Us To Stop Killing Over “Good Bottom”

An old video of Atlanta rapper Trouble resurfaces, telling men not to harm someone over a woman. In the video, he is talking into the camera while driving. Trouble discussed fighting and killing another man because of a woman with a “good bottom,” finding it pointless; such won’t do anything because she will have sex with the next man.

Trouble also has a point as he has been famous to have these kinds of takes. A few years ago, he made headlines for saying he would let his girlfriend sleep with Drake to get on a Drake song.

“They gon f*kk em for free anyway if he slide into her DM. Yall soft azz n***** don’t reply to me eitha,” Trouble discussed the fighting issue in an Instagram comment.

Trouble’s “Girlfriends”

Trouble went to the Lake St. James apartment complex in Conyer, Georgia, this past Sunday after spending a night out at the club. He went to see Rissa Royce, who also lives at the apartment complex. Unfortunately, he also died that night. Trouble’s girlfriend, Alexis Shalae, went to social media to express her hurt.

“He was just at the wrong place wrong time. The bond we had was one of a kind. I’ll cherish the memories forever”, she wrote in an Instagram post.

Trouble allegedly has other women in his life. Nicole Moorman, a criminal defense lawyer, has been linked to Trouble. She has her own law firm, Moorman Law Firm, that focuses on felony and federal cases. She defended Lil Durk previously.

People may have speculated that they were together because Trouble has posted photos of the two of them on Instagram. Fans even assumed she was his wife after there were videos of them on vacation together, just the two of them. Quintana Davis, another woman, took to Instagram to show her love.

“Over a decade of memories playing in my head as I write this. I am broken and I miss you already. You always made sure I was okay and I’m sorry I couldn’t be there for you when you needed me the most.”

https://twitter.com/balleralert/status/1534311707589361666?s=21&t=DRt_coFtQoHpUOIcSxEuzA

Trouble was involved with Love & Hip-Hop star Alexis Skyy, as they were in a relationship in 2019. She took to Instagram to pay her respects by posting an old tweet by Trouble, followed by a series of prayers.

Trouble AKA Skoob, Rapper from Atlanta Dead at 34

Today Atlantans on the hip hop scene got some distressing news as headlines read, “Trouble dead at 34.” And just like that, Atlanta loses one more bright light. So today, grief runs deep, and moroseness hangs like a heavy cloud.

Who is Trouble?

The dead artist, Trouble, is an Atlantan hip-hop artist with a deep passion for rap. The dead artist’s real name is Mariel Orr, who also carried the moniker “Skoob.” However, Trouble was no new flame in the hip-hop industry. Trouble has been on the scene for a while. But it was in 2011, that he began seeing some elevation in his career with the success of “December 17th.” And he kept plugging content.

“Every release since then has cemented Trouble as one of rap’s most earnest and authentic voices.”

And that is an honor that solidifies a lasting legacy. His most recent release in 2020, “Medusa,” featuring Jeezy, proves that true artisans keep going because it’s in their blood.

Putting People On: Trouble Was a Beast

Although he wasn’t amongst the most well-known in the global hip-hop landscape, those who knew him knew him well. He was no stranger to the craft of putting his craftmanship to work. After his debut, he would release eight albums and four singles. 

“Some just hearing him he was new. However, with eight solid mixtapes, he’s a seasoned veteran to those who rocked with him.”

With over 90 credits under his belt, his impact on the hip-hop scene is undeniable. He had a presence, and his solid body of work is proof of his commitment and passion.

A Sad Day and Heavy Hearts

It is always a shock when the talented die young. Skoob’s passing was no different. His ex was one of the first to confirm the artist’s death on a social media post. Her disbelief was evident. However, she would not be the only one to hop on social media to express their grief over the tragedy. Bow Wow also took to Instagram to express his sentiments over the loss.

“Trouble was my dawg! Pulled up anywhere I was at didn’t care if it was last minute he was there. I can’t believe this…What is going on man! “

Today the world poses the same question.

No Specifics on Trouble’s Death

There is yet to be a definitive report of what went down. However, it is alleged that the rapper was gunned down while in his car. But the investigation is ongoing. And no matter the cause, it doesn’t lessen the sting.

Too Many Die Young

One thing is sure, the deaths among the youth have become too prevalent. In 2020 Rapper Lil Marlo was gunned down at the age of 30. In February of this year, young drill rapper Chii Wvttz was found dead at 18, also from gun violence. And today, the world mourns once more over a life cut short. Skoob’s final words are a sad refrain, sending out another tragic and sobering reminder life is much too fast.

“It’s toooooooo many 12 of for me tonight IM GOIN HOME Yall move smoove outchea.”

Today condolences go out to the friends, family, and fans of Trouble, aka Skoob. May they find comfort in the days ahead. May Trouble rest in peace and the memory of his life and art be his forever legacy.

Soulja Boy Goes Off on Kanye, Lil Yachty and Stunna 4 Vegas

It seems Soulja Boy never stops finding conflict. His most recent beef with Ye eventually ended in peace. Still, the “Crank That” lyricist still manages to get into various Ye-related altercations.

For instance, Big Draco recently blamed Ye after Lil Yachty removed Soulja’s part off of his song. Soulja ranted to IG live about the removal. 

https://youtu.be/9vSNqlKPmSM

In the video, Soulja called out Kanye, Yachty, and Stunna for disrespecting then ghosting him.

“That’s three songs Kanye West, Lil Yachty, and Stunna 4 Vegas y’all got me fucked up. None of you rappers call my phone no more. Please. I’m begging y’all. Stop. Cause this shit is a slap in the face,” 

One might ask why Soulja involved Lil Yachty and Stunna 4 Vegas in his conflict with Ye. Well, he would go on to explain just that. 

“Kanye, this shit your fault! This shit your fault, Kanye, before this motherfucking, before this ‘Donda’ album shit, nobody wasn’t trying Big Draco like that. Now you got Lil Yachty sending me songs and taking me off the songs.”

“You got Stunna 4 Vegas sending me songs and putting the songs out with Big Yavo and SSGKobe. What is going on around here?”

Luckily, all three rappers soon made piece. After the emotional IG live, Soulja posted two follow-up stories.

In the first, Big Draco explained he had to wait for Lil Yachty to contact him. Still, Soulja let the world know that “Me and Stunna 4 Vegas is good.”

In the second story, the dramatic conflict finally found a logical endpoint. “Me and Yachty are good,” Soulja claimed, including  a “100” emoji in the end.

Soulja Boy’s Conflict with Trouble

Just two weeks ago, Soulja Boy threatened Trouble, shocking some of the Young Dolph’s fans. Soulja’s released his “Stretch Some” recent single the same day Memphis shooters killed Young Dolph.

https://youtu.be/vQuY2vAzS4I

Trouble questioned Soulja’s behavior in the tweet. Soon enough, Big Draco opened the conversation door with two legs and straightforward responses.

“That song been out, but what u wanna do n***a,” Soulja began in response. The rapper then claimed Trouble “sound tough as hell,” but only “on the internet.” “Fuck u talking about n***a. Police ass n***a,” Soulja concluded in a post, which someone removed later.

The conversation ended with a warning. “Bitch ass boy, you could be next @TroubleDTE,” Draco wrote.

Later, in an Instagram video, Soulja discussed the situation with the social media crowd.

“Big Homie dead, I’m supposed to be sad and shit like what the fuck n***a?” the rapper asked. “Y’all n***a lame, man y’all got me fucked up. Cause if that woulda been me, y’all n***a’s would have been laughing and shit and crackin’ jokes. There wouldn’t have been no rest in peace Soulja Boy.”

Soulja Boy Threatens Trouble In Response To His Comments On Young Dolph

Trouble is the latest rapper with whom Soulja Boy has a beef. The Atlanta rapper called out Soulja Boy for releasing a song following the tragic death of Young Dolph. The song is called “Stretch Some” and is noted as a diss against the late rapper. The track came out the same day Dolph was shot and killed. Fans and Trouble believe that the song’s release date is not a coincidence.

After the song’s release, Trouble tweeted, “I like da lil silly shit soulja Be doin time to time, its entertainment, I get it.” He continues to say, “Dont Be no puss azz nigga an drop no song kalled “stretch sump” da next dayy as if u got active in my dawg losin his life dou!

Soulja Boy Responds to Trouble on Young Dolph

Big Draco then responded to the tweet, saying the song was not a diss against Dolph and leaked months ago.

“That song been out but what u wanna do n***a?” he wrote. “U sound tough as hell on the internet fuck u talking about n***a. Police ass n***a.” He also added, “The truth hurts, and bitch I’m the truth.”

Soulja threatens Trouble

A week before Dolph’s passing, he accused him of lying about his income. Dolph claimed that he made $100k per show independently. “I’m really 100% independent, no cap,” he said in an Instagram live last week. Soulja Boy then responded in the same IG live, saying, “That’s big cap.” He then went on to laugh about a previous shooting incident where Dolph was injured.

As a result, Soulja Boy will not perform on upcoming tour stops of The Millenium Tour in St. Louis, Missouri, Memphis, and Tennessee. Concert organizers released a statement on Instagram. They stated, “To preserve the safety of The Millennium Tour 2021 artists and patrons, tour representatives are exercising caution and want to make a smart decision to be safe.” Artists on the bill are Ashanti, Bow Wow, Pretty Ricky, Ying Yang Twins, Lloyd, and Sammie.

Young Dolph died at Makeda’s Homemade Butter Cookies in Memphis on Wednesday, November 17 from gunfire wounds. The authorities pronounced the rapper dead at the scene.
