Written, directed, and executive produced by Beyoncé this album is inspired by The Lion King, it will premiere globally on Disney+ on July 31. A one-minute teaser trailer for Black Is King dropped Saturday night on beyonce.com.

His ancestors help guide him toward his destiny, and with his father’s teachings and guidance from his childhood love, he earns the virtues needed to reclaim his home and throne,” Disney added.

So what’s poppin’ is the remix, Jack Harlow is back with some friends.
The Louisville rapper original version, (which appears on Jack’s EP Sweet Action) has amassed 370 million streams worldwide and peaked at No. 16 on the Billboard Hot 100. Now a star-studded remix with DaBaby, Tory Lanez, and Lil Wayne. Jack found a way to make a hit even better.
“‘WHATS POPPIN’ dropped at the top of this historic year and things haven’t been the same for me or the world since. I knew the record was special, but it continues to exceed my inner circle and I’s expectations,” said Jack.
Taking a page out of DaBaby’s book, Jack doesn’t give the best any time to breathe, followed DaBaby and Tory with verses we come accustomed to, while Weezy flips some of Jack’s lyrics.
Listen to Jack Harlow’s “What’s Poppin” remix below:
“Getting DaBaby and Tory Lanez on the record is very exciting, especially because they both delivered. But Lil Wayne hopping on is a dream come true; a real bucket list achievement. Something I can say was done for the place I’m from – Louisville, Kentucky. This is a moment all of my city and state can be proud of despite these difficult times. Thank you to my fans for making this go so far, because without them I wouldn’t have any of it. To the top we go,” said Jack.
Jack has made the most of his quarantine with a recent feature on the SCOOB! soundtrack with “Yikes,” abd collaboration with G-Easy on “Moana.”
J. Cole’s latest track “Snow on Tha Bluff” addresses his feelings of inadequacy surrounding activism, as protests against racism and police brutality across the world are being held. However, the verse at the beginning of his single seems to address a “young lady” who is using her platform to educate about systemic racism. Based on the description of the woman’s tweets it is speculated that he was referring to rapper and activist Noname.
He confirmed, that Noname was the person in question Wednesday morning on his twitter and stating he stands behind every word of the song that dropped last night. Some people may assume to know who the song is about and that’s fine with him. As it’s not my job to tell anybody what to think or feel about the work. As well as shouting out the artist and encouraging people to follow her.
I haven’t done a lot of reading and I don’t feel well equipped as a leader in these times. But I do a lot of thinking. And I appreciate her and others like her because they challenge my beliefs and I feel that in these times that’s important.
He finishes by saying he’s not a leader but appreciates Noname for “challenging” his beliefs.
“We may not agree with each other but we gotta be gentle with each other,” said J. Cole
There has been a divide in the reaction to this song as he was praised by some for speaking his mind, while also receiving backlash from others who deemed his tone as misogynistic and didn’t find it appropriate to criticize and police a Black woman’s tone.
Several artists have disagreed with Cole’s track and its message, Chance the Rapper whose collaborated with both Noname and Cole. Believing Cole took an L for putting out an entire song about she needs to reconsider their tone and attitude to save the world undermines all the work Noname has done.
They both my peoples but only one of them put out a whole song talking about how the other needs to reconsider their tone and attitude in order to save the world. It’s not constructive and undermines all the work Noname has done. It’s not BWs job to spoon feed us. We grown https://t.co/TjIrMyFzQd

Everybody’s argument on either side is, we can’t personally attack each other if we really want to see a revolution. I can agree with that and can apply it in my own life. I wish we could learn that w/o two artists I admire having a public dispute.
— Chance The Rapper (@chancetherapper) June 17, 2020
We can have different points of views on things. I’m not tearing anyone down, I just think it was wrong to make a song about her. I can’t feel any other way about it.

Earl Sweatshirt was another artist to respond to the situation”Lol before I get grouped into anything let me state that the first truth of many is that the shit was just corny… It would b like on one of the nights following big floyds death if a white rapper (one that ppl like) made a ‘im uneducated on ur plight’ track it just taste bad lol.”
Noname’s fellow Chicagoan Open Mike Eagle named both parties in his remark. “If Cole has a problem with Noname there is no way in the whole wide world that he’s dumb enough to send bars at her,” Mike wrote. “That would be dumb on 5 to 7 different levels.”
You may already know me as someone who has no patience, no filter and especially does not respond to anyone policing my tone, message, or actions…so… You know how I feel. pic.twitter.com/ZH3ImduWmf
Some have noted that Cole had been quick to show support and empathy toward controversial male rappers such as XXXTentacion, Kodak Black, and 6ix9ine in the past, but appears critical of Noname’s outspoken approach to politics. Leave a message in the comment section below do you think of whose side you agree with.
