Anderson.Paak Releases New Song Featuring R&B Icon Smokey Robinson
ANDERSON.PAK AND SMOKEY ROBINSON
Somehow, until today, An- derson .Paak — the beloved crooner-multi-instrumentalist extraordinaire who's stretching out R&B into jazzier, funkier inflections — hadn't cut a track with an icon from the bygone Motown era.
Enter Smokey Robin- son, the soul legend-turned- label exec, who lends his voice on .Paak's latest single. Fresh off a Grammy win and "King James," the first glimpse from his new album Ventura, "Make It Better" is a plea to weather- ing the stormy trials of a ro- mance that's long departed from honeymoon avenue.
The collection is scheduled to be released this week on April 12. Paak released the Andy Hines-directed "Make It Better" music video last week.
Danny Glover Movie ‘Guava Island’ Suspected Release Date Revealed
Donald Glover’s movie stars Rihanna and ‘Black Panther’star Letitia Wright.
We just might finally have a release date for Donald Glover's mysterious upcom- ing movie, Guava Island.
Spotify has posted a 30-sec- ond ad for Guava Island, which has the date April 13. The date corresponds to Glover's Coachella performance, so be- cause of this, fans have devel- oped the theory that Guava Island might be a visual album and a separate film.
So far, Guava Island has re- mained a mystery, but we do know that Rihanna is co-star- ring in the project with Glover. Letitia Wright and Nonso Anozie are also re- portedly starring in the project. Glover's collaborator Hiro Murai is directing.
After Death Of
Nipsey Hussle
Nipsey Hussle was re- portedly scheduled to meet with the LAPD to discuss gang violence hours after he was fa- tally shot.
As a key figure in his com- munity of South Los Angeles, Nipsey often used his re- sources to invest in local busi- nesses and spearhead humanitarian efforts. The rap- per was also a member of the Rollin 60s Neighborhood Crips Los Angeles gang, an identity he often referenced to urge others to find alternative paths to street gangs. Los An- geles promoter and business owner Marquis Diamond took to Instagram Friday to document a "unity meeting" between numerous Los Ange- les gang leaders who were in- spired by Nipsey's leadership in the community and sought to honor his memory.
@NipseyHussle Look what you started 60’s,HOOVAS, ETG’s, FTG, VNG, BOUNTY HUNTERS, MONA PARKS, BRIMS, PIRUS, BLOODS, CRIPS, GANGSTAS, NH’s, DEUCES," Diamond wrote.
Gang Leaders meet after the murder of activist/rap- per, Nipsey Hussle.
"Just some of these hoods in the same building is POWER- FUL! Trying to use Their BLACK POWER TO BRING UNITY TO THE CITY! I pray that we can stay on this posi- tive path.” Nipsey's death has been mourned by every corner of the hip-hop commu- nity, especially in his home- town of Crenshaw. During an interview with the New York Times, several neighborhood residents spoke of the influ- ence Nipsey had on the com- munity, as well as the fear that his death has reignited the threat of gang violencein the area.
Rapper T.I. has signed on to star in director Matty Rich's second movie since his critically-acclaimed 1991 film "Straight Out Of Brooklyn."
The hip-hop star, real name Clifford Harris, will topline the thriller "Caller 100," which centers around a radio personality whose chance encounter with a fe- male listener turns his life up- side down.
Rich was 19 when he
made "Straight Out of Brook- lyn" for just $450,000.
The movie became an indie sensation, winning the Special Jury Prize at the Sun- dance Film Festival and the Independent Spirit Award for Best First Feature.
Rich moved to Paris, France to focus on video game creation after his 1994 drama "The Inkwell” did not reach cinematic heights and he has- n't made a film since.

Cardi B and Offset are known for their larger than life purchases. The chart-top- ping couple recently dropped over $200,000 buying half of an entire block in Georgia.
According to the Daily Mail, they purchased five houses and a plot of land in Jonesboro for an estimated $201,840.
The site claims the duo could possibly be building their dream home, but the developers they purchased the homes from are clueless to what Mr. and Mrs. Ce- phus will do with their newly acquired property.
While details remain under wraps, the site claims Cardi B is listed as an "addi- tional buyer," while her hubby is named the "main buyer."
CARDI B AND OFFSET
The new purchase is only the latest money move made by the couple. Cardi B was recently nominated for 21 Billboard Music Awards and she signed on for her first film role in Stripper Body.
Offset has been keeping busy himself. Just last month the Father of 4 rapper ap- peared on The Ellen De- Generes Show where he gifted the veteran talk show host $25,000 toward her hu- manitarian efforts.
