150 families in need throughout the community will receive turkeys and trimmings to add to their Thanksgiving meal. Local recording artist Dusty Locane and more will participate in the drive. WEAR YOUR MASKS! See you there!

Jimmy Jazz Founder & CEO, James Khezrie opened the first Jimmy Jazz store on Delancy Street in Manhattan Jimmy over 25 years ago. Today, Jimmy Jazz and subsidiaries have over 170 stores on major streets and malls in the United States, which includes over 30 in the New York Metro area. Stores feature premier lifestyle, streetwear, and footwear brands including Nike, Jordan, Adidas, Polo Footwear, Levi’s, and Decibel, just to name a few. @JimmyJazz | JimmyJazz.com

“It was all in front of me; I just had to go get it,” DUSTY LOCANE says at the beginning of his viral drill heater, “Rolando (Caught In The Rain).” That’s an understatement: less than a year after he started rapping, the gruff-voiced, baby-faced Brooklyn spitter has experienced one of the most meteoric rises in recent rap history. He’s only released a handful of songs, and he’s already a star: his breakout song “ROLLIN N CONTROLLIN” went viral instantly, and its follow-up “Rolando” garnered 1 million video plays and 1 million streams in its first week. Fast forward a year, and Dusty has garnered over a quarter billion streams globally across a handful of releases, not to mention “ROLLIN” recently receiving Gold certification. The world is closely watching Dusty, and he’s ready to deliver with his upcoming debut project, Untamed, due November, 19, 2021.

Ice Spice Appears on Kanye West & Ty Dolla $ign’s ‘New Body,’ New Report Says

If you are a hip-hop listener who keeps up with leaks and unreleased records, you have likely come across Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s “New Body.” The track has been floating around since 2018 and also includes a feature from Nicki Minaj. Despite ongoing requests over the years, Nicki has continued to decline clearance for its official release.

For a long time, Ye and Ty have held onto the record, hoping the circumstances would eventually align for it to drop. Years have passed since it first surfaced, and many fans have already accepted that it may never see an official release in its original form. In recent developments, Ty Dolla $ign briefly gave listeners some renewed optimism during a livestream. In the clip being shared online, he plays the track before quickly cutting it once an unidentified female verse comes in. The voice stands out immediately, and it is clearly not Nicki Minaj. Instead, many listeners believe it sounds similar to Ice Spice.

While some people might interpret this as a replacement of Nicki Minaj, it is worth remembering that she has repeatedly made it clear she does not want her verse released. Because of that, it would not be surprising if Ye and Ty explored other options to complete the record. Bringing in a newer viral artist would be a natural alternative given the situation.

Did Ice Spice Replace Nicki Minaj?

Even though the situation may look like a subtle shift away from Nicki, it is important to note that her contribution was never cleared for release. That leaves room for the possibility that a new verse could be used instead. The idea of tapping someone like Ice Spice would also fit the current trend of collaborating with rising artists who have strong online momentum.

At this point, it is still unclear when or even if this updated version of the song was recorded. There is also no confirmation on whether it will ever be officially released. If it does eventually drop, it would likely spark major discussion among fans who have been following the track’s long and complicated history.
