THE MEDIA PRINCE

Under the dazzling lights of Washington, D.C., the Multicultural Media & Correspondents Association (MMCA) rolled out the red carpet for one of the most inspiring nights in modern media, the Multicultural Media & Correspondents Dinner, hosted by the ever-charismatic Loni Love. This year’s theme, “Owning the Game,” wasn’t just a slogan, it was a declaration. A celebration of those who’ve rewritten the rules, reclaimed narratives, and redefined what it means to have a voice in

Over a decade ago, a baby-faced 16-year-old from Chicago’s East Side shook up the streets with nothing but raw hunger and a mic. Back then, the world knew him as Lil Herb, the dope young MC who, alongside Lil Bibby, dropped the now-iconic “Kill Shit,” a record that would define an era and put Chicago drill on the global map. Fast forward to 2025, and the man once known as Lil Herb has evolved into G Herbo, a seasoned veteran with respect etched deep into his bars. He’s weathe

Rising from the vibrant creative scene of the DMV, Leon Mitchell has carved an undeniable path as one of the most dynamic producers and film directors of his generation. With over 40 projects already to his name, Mitchell’s work showcases a rare blend of storytelling precision, visual artistry, and authentic cultural resonance. From short films and music videos to full-scale productions, Leon’s portfolio reflects a relentless dedication to craft and a deep understanding of wh

The streets have been whispering, and now the noise is too loud to ignore, Young E. Class and DJ Furious Styles are back at it again, and this time they’ve got the whole game looking over its shoulder. Their new single, “88,” is a head-nod anthem that pays homage to the golden era of hip-hop while pushing the sound boldly into the future. From the moment the beat drops, you can feel DJ Furious Styles cooking up something special. A gritty, soul-infused production that sounds

Every once in a while, somebody comes along who doesn’t just enter the music game, they crash through the door, rearrange the furniture, and make everyone play by their rules. That’s Bri3, straight out the DMV, and right now she’s standing on the brink (yeah, we said what we said) of something truly extraordinary. Bri3 isn’t following the industry blueprint, she’s drawing up her own, complete with bold bars, smooth melodies, and a confidence that says, “I was built for this.”

When JT drops, the whole city listens, and this time she’s back with a certified anthem, “Girls Gon Wild.” It’s bold, it’s confident, and it’s got just the right amount of chaos, the fun kind that starts with a glam squad and ends with somebody yelling “we outside!” JT has always been that girl; raw, stylish, and unapologetically in control of her narrative. But “Girls Gon Wild” hits different. It’s not just a track, it’s a declaration. The beat slaps, the energy’s contagious

There’s a new wave coming straight out the DMV and it’s moving fast. Gio and G Star, the rap twin duo lighting up the scene, just dropped their explosive new single “Free Car Swerving”, and it’s already taking over blocks, and timelines from D.C. to beyond. The record is a perfect storm of energy and authenticity. Backed by the legendary Zaytoven, whose Grammy-winning touch gives the track that signature bounce and trap elegance, “Free Car Swerving” feels like the streets met

Washington, D.C. is about to feel something special.
