Sheck Wes is out to prove he’s no one-hit wonder with the release of his debut, Mudboy.

Sheck Wes’ breakthrough single “Mo Bamba” has changed his life. Fittingly, the Cactus Jack and G.O.O.D. Music signee gets an assist from the song’s namesake, Orlando Magic center Mohamed Bamba, for his debut Mudboy.

Bamba sports a shirt featuring the project’s title and October 5 release date in a Twitter announcement.

“Mixed Mastered and Executively Produced By Sheck Wes,” Sheck adds.

The actual Mohamad Bamba being involved is a natural fit since Sheck is a childhood friend.

“I’m honestly just proud of this dude,” the former Texas Longhorn recently told HipHopDX. “He has his handprint all over the game and in entertainment. And that’s what makes him special.”

Sheck’s “Mo Bamba” has been a digital juggernaut, racking up close to 16 million streams on SoundCloud and well over 19 million views on YouTube. The song’s success (peaked at No. 31 on the Billboard Hot 100), not to mention the backing of Travis Scott and Kanye West, has built a lot of hype for the upcoming release of Mudboy.

Houston Police Investigating After Cop Snaps "Booty" Photo At Drake & Migos Concert

Houston, TX – A Houston police officer who was on duty at a stop on Drake’s Aubrey The Three Amigos Tour with Migos was caught snapping a photo of a woman’s, um, assets. Consequently, the Houston Police Department is looking into the incident.

In footage posted on Twitter, the cop has his phone out and clearly snaps a photo of the woman standing in front of him as Migos performs “Slippery” in the background.

The officer was unaware a concertgoer was filming him the entire time.

The Houston Police Department addressed the situation on Twitter and confirmed an internal investigation is underway.

“We are aware of the video that shows actions of one of our officers at a concert last evening,” the tweet reads. “Although HPD has not received a formal complaint, we have launched an internal investigation.

“The actions depicted on the video are not consistent with the expectations we have for our personnel. Upon completion of the investigation, the department will take any and all corrective action.”

Reactions to the incident have been mixed on Twitter. Some believe it was harmless while others are outraged by the officer’s unprofessionalism.

Check out some of the reactions below.

Anderson .Paak & Kendrick Lamar’s "Tints" Has Arrived

The inaugural single of Anderson .Paak’s upcoming album has arrived — and it comes with a feature from Kendrick Lamar.

Titled “Tints,” the uptempo, funk-infused track premiered on Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 Radio show on Thursday morning (October 4).

“Tints” serves as the lead single from Paak’s forthcoming album Oxnard, which was executive produced by Dr. Dre.

During the interview with Lowe, Paak said J. Cole and Pusha-T are also featured on the LP. Madlib is also expected to be involved. Last month, Paak posted an Instagram photo of Q-Tip, Kendrick and Dre, sparking rumors Tribe’s de facto leader is contributing in some way as well.

Dre signed Paak to his Aftermath Entertainment imprint in 2016.

No release date for Oxnard has been announced, although Dre confirmed he’d finished mixing the album last month.

In the interim, bump “Tints” above.

Alchemist Declares Earl Sweatshirt’s New Album A "Masterpiece"

Three years after Earl Sweatshirt released his critically acclaimed I Don’t Like Shit, I Don’t Go Outside, fans are still starving for new music. Alchemist took the anticipation up a notch on social media this week.

On Wednesday (October 3), a fan asked the veteran producer, “When that new Earl shit dropping?” Alchemist replied, “Listened to his new album again last nite that shit is a masterpiece.”

The release date for the project has yet to be announced.

The Odd Future alum has been keeping a relatively low profile since the January passing of his father, South African poet laureate Keorapetse Kgositsile.

He’s been gradually making his presence known again on the music front. A few weeks ago, the Doris mastermind jumped on Twitter and played some unreleased tracks in the background. In the since-deleted tweet, he stated, “The vibes… SRS COMING SOON THE WAIT IS ALMOST OVER !!”

Earl will also be performing as part of the late Mac Miller’s upcoming charity concert.

On the other hand, Alchemist is on the boards once again for Curren$y and Freddie Gibb’s joint mixtape Fetti, which is expected to arrive on Halloween.
