    First Suspect Found Guilty Of Manslaughter In Julio Foolio Murder Case

    One of the five murder suspects in the case of rapper Julio Foolio has been convicted of manslaughter.

    According to reports, the late rapper’s girlfriend, Alicia Andrews, was found guilty of manslaughter after an eight-day trial. However, she was found not guilty on conspiracy to commit murder.

    Jury deliberation began at 6:50 p.m. and came to a verdict at 10:20 p.m. Andrews was accused of sending the rapper to multiple locations on the day of his murder with her codefendants before he was killed by them.

    During the trial, she tried to use evidence of domestic violence against her by her boyfriend and co-defendant Isiah Chance, but the judge ruled against it. The other defendants, Chance, Davion Murphy, Rashad Murphy, and Sean Gathright, are set to go on trial next spring.

    Julio Foolio was killed on his 26th birthday while celebrating at an Airbnb. In 2021, he rose to fame over his public feud with fellow rapper Yungeen Ace.

    Authorities say that Foolio’s murder was tied to a war between gangs. They say that Foolio was allegedly a part of 6 Block and was fighting against two allied gangs, 1200 and Ace’s Top Killers (ATK).

    All of the defendants, minus Andrews, are allegedly a part of those gangs. Alicia Andrews’ sentencing will take place on December 8 at 8:30 a.m.

    May Julio Foolio continue to rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and loved ones during this time.

    Adekunle Gold Holds Listening Party For Latest Album ‘Fuji’ At Record Room

    Adekunle Gold celebrated the release of his latest album Fuji with an intimate listening party at the Record Room in Long Island City.

    Fuji is Gold’s sixth studio album, and it’s different from his previous ones. The title of the album is a callback to his Nigerian roots and culture. Fuji music was founded during the 1960s as a socio-cultural movement in the South-West region of Nigeria. This genre of music is best known for its up-tempo and percussive style. It evolved from wéré or ajisari music, which has been used to wake up Yoruba Muslims during Ramadan.

    During the listening party, Gold explained that he decided to use Fuji music for this album because he knew fans would love it. “I don’t care who you are; if you listen to it, you’re going to love it,” he said. “I did what my soul was yearning for, and that’s why I have Fuji.”

    The album has 15 tracks on it and it features big names such as Robert Glasper, Davido, and 6lack.

    With making this album, Gold was intentional to incorporate fuji with the R&B, Pop, and Soul samples he used in his songs such as “B*tch, Better Have My Money” by Rihanna, on the song “Coco Money” and “Just The Two of Us” by Bill Withers.

    Fuji is out now on all streaming platforms. Make you download your copy.

Y’all brought me back career-wise, but I see y’all pushing the agenda of negativity, and that’s fine. God bless y’all. I pray the apologies are as loud as the lies and offenses.”
