Kankan & Lunchbox trade shots at each other

Kankan took to his IG to randomly diss Lunchbox and the New Jazz subgenre. Very random to be honest, but I guess he didn’t enjoy the Ice Spice snippet.

SoundCloud for Sale

SoundCloud is yet again up for sale. They’re saying the valuation is around $1 Billion, but we hope this platform stays in the right hands. It’s an active part of music history.

Carti’s Antagonist Tour Postponed again… again

Yup, postponed again. No surprise here, but Carti will go on tour when he simply feels like it. We’re stoked to be getting new music from him, but every relationship has its ups and downs.

Ice Spice raps about Farts on new Jazz beat

“You think you the shit, bitch? You not even the fart.” RIP Shakespeare, you would have loved the new Ice Spice snippet.

SoFaygo Takes Over Comment Sections Across Social Media

The SoFaygo militia is not only a blessing to the Faygo agenda, but their hard work is beloved by social media managers all over the earth. Faygo is loved forever.

Carti arrest video from 2022 surfaces

It’s kinda sad to see the world scramble to watch a man’s low moments, but let’s be real, they’d watch damn near any high-profile person get arrested too. He was fine, and made it to Rolling Loud the next day.

SiyahXO! recently dropped off his project Jerk 2, the sequel to the illustrious aptly titled project that put him on the map. With a vastly diverse repertoire of styles he can cook with, this young man is a true foundation of the modern Underground. The industry is well aware of Siyah and his wave so it’s truly only a matter of time until the rest of the world is hip. Three songs to dive into from Jerk 2 include: “Target!”, “Poet!” and “Druski” feat. xaviersobased.

Will Carti ever go on tour? Will Benji and him ever meet up to settle and squash the beef? Who even knows, but we’ll be back next week to keep you updated.

If you’ve been liking Uncovered Gems, make sure to bless a friend and forward it onto someone who you think would enjoy it too. It would mean the world.

See you next Friday 🫡
