News and Notes Around the Rap World

Something is always going on in the world of rap and hip hop music and such is the case this week. Here’s what’s happening this week now and in the past…

It was two years ago this week that Nicki Minaj released a Grammy nominated album. We’re talking about “The Pinkprint,” her third studio album release.

The Weeknd has crushed record sales, the charts and streaming services all the same since the release of “Starboy.” This week that album hit 800 million streams on Spotify!

Did you wonder who had the highest grossing tour in 2016? Well, it should come as no surprise that it came from Beyonce. Her tour, “The Formation Tour,” was one in a million and sold out many many dates.
