Here’s How Quavo Celebrated His 27th Birthday

Quavo turned 27 on Monday (April 2) in typical Migos style.

The ever-popular Atlanta rapper kicked things off on Easter Sunday (April 1) by hosting a celebrity touch football game. The event — part of the fittingly titled “Huncho Day” — saw a number of stars from the worlds of Hip Hop and professional football attend as Quavo’s Team Huncho took on Julio Jones’ Team Julio.

The game took place at Quavo’s alma mater — Berkmar High School — in Lilburn, Georgia.

Post Malone & Bud Light Pull Off Hilarious "Friendship Test"

Nashville, TN – Post Malone may hail from Texas but this coming Wednesday (April 4), he’s out to show the people of Nashville his inherent talent.

The Bud Light Dive Bar Tour is aiming to be the perfect launching pad leading up to the release of Beerbongs Bentleys.

Using the brand’s “Famous Among Friends” motto, Malone picked a handful of unsuspecting patrons to game called The Bud Light Friendship Test where friends test the limits of their BFF’s to bring them the most random of objects to prove their loyalty.

Their participation earned them tickets to the upcoming Bud Light Dive Bar Tour show, which will be streamed on their Facebook and Twitter, and HipHopDX will also be in the mix of the action.

“It feels super cool to be the next artist to perform on the Bud Light Dive Bar Tour. If you know me, you know I love my Bud Light.” Posty says. “I can’t wait to get weird with y’all in Nashville.”

Andy Goeler, Bud Light’s VP, chimed in stating, “Post Malone has been a long-time friend and supporter of Bud Light, so when we were thinking of artists to collaborate with in 2018, it was a no-brainer to look into working with Post.”

“We worked with Post Malone and his team on a program titled ‘One Night Only’ last year and we were thrilled with the fan response and we love that he always has a Bud Light in-hand while performing. We can’t wait to see what he brings to his Dive Bar Tour performance in Nashville.”

Watch the Stoney One’s Bud Light Friendship Test up above and keep it locked to HipHopDX’s socials as well for more of the tour greatness.

New York City, NY – This week on the Billboard 200 albums chart, XXXTENTACION remains the highest-ranking Hip Hop artist with his sophomore effort ? landing at No. 2. Despite the mounting controversy surrounding the 20-year-old Florida rapper, his music continues to be a success on the charts.

The controversial Florida rapper has been in the news again recently after a video of him hitting a girl in the face emerged online. His attorney said the video “was taken completely in jest” but the girl in the video had a different story.

In his review of California, DX’s Editor-in-Chief Trent Clark gave the project a 3.1 out of 5, writing, “Mad decent vibes. Mad boring versus.”

when I made the Florida album over ten years ago it was me dwelling in my own mind and creating something crazy that was about where i’m from and what I imagined. once I got to California I had been working for years in all kinds of music but this last year I was inspired by all the young sounds and rappers that have moved to LA.. felt like this album was the soundtrack to the last year of working here.. California EP out now
