From Rihanna To Busta Rhymes: Sean Paul Has Stories For Days
Sean Paul has a lot of cool stories from his years in the music industry and among them include a time he got a chance to hang out with Rihanna.
“I really liked doing the song with Rihanna ’cause she came to Jamaica,” he told DX’s Kyle Eustice. “Most people who I’ve worked with, like I go over there or I do it via the internet. But this time, we got the chance to show her how Jamaicans flex. She came to the club, she came to the beach, she came to the studio, we showed her the good places to eat. So it was kinda cool for her to see what my world’s about.”

Lil Xan’s “The Man” Video Is A Bullshit Take On Mental Illness Group Therapy
HipHopDX’s Editor-in-Chief Trent Clark ripped into Lil Xan’s latest visual for “The Man” off his recently released album TOTAL XANARCHY. The fact that Stat Quo is his manager isn’t enough to save him from the ink-lashing Clark imposed upon him. DX’s EIC considers the visual to be an inconsiderate and hypocritical take on the nation’s bubbling opioid crisis.
“Making a mockery of one of society’s most delicate subjects — one that’s still not totally understood across the board — is unacceptable,” Clark pens. “Lil Xan, Sam King, Noreberto Garcia, Jordan Page, Lerry Kin, YCFILMS and production company Buffnerds Media should all be ashamed.”
