On a Inconspicuous street located on the south side of Storm Valley lives an anti- Hero by the name of Relly Santiago aka The Postman.    Being a hip hop artist by day, the dishonest music industry leads the Postman on his own agendas.    The half cyborg rap phenom has a knack for overthrowing the industry rules and standards.    Guided by his intelligent brother Christobal The Vision he seeks revenge in the favor of the nobody’s.    On a Friday night trouble is brewing on the south side.    Political ties leads the Postman down a path of anger and destruction!    A knock at the door begins the night of terror.    “Who is it?” Relly responds “It’s your cousin Boom!”    Boom rarely comes out at a time like this so the postman knew it was trouble!    “Come in” he announces.    Boom entered the house with a face of disappointment.    “Somebody hit my Cafe around 7:30 pm”....

Juice WRLD's 'Lucid Dreams' Is The Subject Of A $15 Million Lawsuit





Juice WRLD's been hit with a huge lawsuit by pop-punk band Yellowcard, outlets are reporting, who claim that "Lucid Dreams," Juice WRLD's breakout 2018 single, copies melodic elements of their 2006 song "Holly Wood Died." The case is set to the tune of a whopping $15 million. Along with financial compensation, the band is looking for co-ownership of the song and royalties as well.
The Yellowcard members aren't just suing Juice WRLD; they're including nearly everyone connected with the record: producer Nicholas Mira, co-writer Taz Taylor, Interscope Records, and more. Since the song was instrumental in breaking Juice WRLD to mainstream America, they're also looking for revenue from his concert tours and public appearances. To establish the song's similarities, they point to a "melodic idiosyncrasy" called a melisma, which, according to the band, appears in a "parallel position" in both songs.
There's also the fact that Juice WRLD is quoted in an interview saying that he "listened to and educated himself in emo pop-rock music" to impress a girl that he had a crush on in fifth grade in 2006. It's the same year that "Holly Wood Dies" came out on Yellowcard's Lights and Sounds album.
According to Yellowcard's attorney, the lawsuit isn't new. "They put all of the parties on notice a long while ago and gave them every opportunity to try and resolve it," he said in a statement to Billboard. "That notice was pretty much ignored leaving them with no real choice."

After Boom and Postman arrived at Bobby’s restaurant they noticed something unusual.     The back door that leads to the kitchen had been Pried     open leaving boom and Post with a look of concern.     Before they could set the fire,  they had to make sure the restaurant was vacant.     Just as expected, they over heard a voice inside the restaurant talking to someone on a cellphone.     “I don’t know where he keeps the safe boss”. The man spoke.     With the phone being on speaker, Rellz and Boom recognized the voice.     “You keep searching!”     Said the familiar voice.     At that moment they knew the criminal was working for Tony’s brother Frankie Pachino.     Frankie spoke again saying.     “We need Tony to blame Boom for this.    W e robbed Boom’s Cafe earlier today, and to me it wasn’t  enough!     With Tony’s cousin being robbed, he will d...

Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you

  "Now Defunkt’s Runaway is one of those tracks that grabs you from the first bluesy heartbeat of the intro and doesn’t let go. In an era where you can tune out with a tap, this song pulls you in with a vibe that feels both nostalgic and boldly forward-looking. The bluesy riffs ring out right away, setting a space where the listener can settle in and brace for a story that feels big, like a page from a graphic novel that’s about to come alive. The songwriting here is something to applaud. It’s got that old-school flavor—the kind of thing your parents might hum along to—mixed with a futuristic spark that hints at adventures not yet lived. It’s as if the track invites you to step into a time-warped alley where the streetlights flicker with neon possibilities. Astrology gets a wink and a nod, painting a portrait of a young renegade who’s more superhero than stereotype. It’s a mission—mighty and personal at once—to remind us that youth has a voice, and when it finds its rhythm, it can...
