The Twitter verse continues ablaze following the historic rap battle between Drake and Kendrick Lamar. Then, came the memes and screenshots to accompany a myriad of conspiracies that are currently floating around. And now, this.

The video which was produced by Chapter.xyz, shows clips of  Steezy Kane as he raps along to 'Not Like Us' while wearing headphones, walking through the streets of Toronto. 

By now, we've all seen the memes, screenshots, and even the animated videos showing rappers annihilate their competition in the studio. This was different and refreshing.

Here's what the Twitterverse had to say:

Please why you telling the dog to run for his life 😭😭😭 tears in my eyes

Celebrating the 40th Anniversary of the World Conference of Mayors Tuskegee, AL, Tuesday, May 7, 2024 – The National Alliance for Black Business (2022), co-founded by The National Business League ® (1900), National Black Chamber of Commerce ® (1993), and The World Conference of Mayors ® (1984), is thrilled to cohost the NBL’s 124th National Black Business Conference ®. Set to take place from August 21-24, 2024, at the Hilton Atlanta in downtown Atlanta, GA, this highly anticipated event coincides with Atlanta Black Business Weekend ™, promising an exhilarating gathering of the nation’s foremost Black business leaders and community luminaries.   Building upon the success of last year's conference, which commemorated the 30th Anniversary of the National Black Chamber of Commerce founded in 1993 and drew over 1,900 attendees, this year's event holds special significance as it celebrates the 40th Anniversary of the World Conference of Mayors. Established in 1984, The World Conference of Mayors serves as a testament to the enduring legacy of Black Mayoral leadership and economic empowerment within Black communities worldwide. This year marks a significant milestone, as it pays homage to 50 years since the Southern Conference of Black Mayors held its inaugural National Conference at the Hilton Atlanta Hotel. Notably, Daniel "Chappy" James, the first four-star Black general in the Air Force and a Tuskegee airman, served as keynote speaker, setting the stage for the remarkable journey of Black elected leadership in the years to come.   Mayor Johnny Ford, who also served as co-founder to the preceding Black Mayors organizations before founding The World Conference of Mayors, expressed his excitement for this year's event, stating, “As we celebrate the historic 40th Anniversary of The World Conference of Mayors, we acknowledge the pivotal role Black mayors play in the economic development of cities, towns, and historic settlements. These legacies trace their roots back to the visionary leadership of Booker T. Washington and pave the way for the future of Black Mayors all over the world.”   The conference agenda will spotlight the profound impact of Black mayors in fostering entrepreneurship, economic development, and community growth, echoing the visionary principles championed by Booker T. Washington. In 1881, Lewis Adams (Town) and Booker T. Washington (Gown) joined forces to establish Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute, now known as Tuskegee University, in Tuskegee Institute, Alabama. This institution was surrounded by a historic Black settlement, conceived by Dr. Washington, which, though never formally incorporated, was assigned its own zip code: 36088. This collaboration between "Town" and "Gown" laid the groundwork for further partnerships in central Alabama.   Fast forward to 1901, during the 2nd annual conference of the National Business League (NBL), Booker T. Washington invited Mayor S. L. Davis, who was elected in 1899 as the inaugural Mayor of Hobson City, Alabama, the first fully incorporated all-Black town in the state, to deliver the keynote address. Dr. Washington urged African American communities nationwide to establish their own towns, settlements, and educational institutions. What began as a seed planted in Tuskegee in 1881 had now blossomed into a national movement. By this time, historic all-Black towns had begun to emerge across the country, including Princeville, NC (1885); Eatonville, FL (1887); Mound Bayou, MS (1887); Hobson City, AL (1899); and the community of Grambling, LA (1901), which later became the home of Grambling University.   Today, this legacy endures with over 1,000 historic Black towns and settlements and more than 100 Historic Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) across the nation. The upcoming conference will showcase these Black-owned businesses, professionals, and elected leaders from various corners of the country and around the globe.   Anticipated to attract hundreds of Black-owned businesses, professionals, and elected officials from around the globe, the conference will serve as a dynamic platform for networking, knowledge-sharing, and forging strategic partnerships with city, state, national, federal, and global resources, and leadership. The event is hosted by local, Black-led business institutions, including the Atlanta Business League, Greater Georgia Black Chamber of Commerce, and the Georgia Minority Supplier Development Council.

The internet has been in an absolute frenzy over the past couple of days as the hip hop feud between Kendrick Lamar and Drake continues to broil over. 

With the release of Kendrick's diss track 'Meet the grahams' which reads like a collection of letters written to each of Drake's parents, his son, and an alleged mystery child never publicly acknowledged by Drake, some have become worried amidst another startling claim made by Kendrick - Drake is a pedophile. 

These claims sparked conversation across the entire social media landscape with mixed reactions - some in utter disbelief and others in shock. The video below, however, is  parody that shows what Drake's PR team might be saying to Drake following these allegation and his lighthearted response.

Atlanta, Georgia - Urban Mediamakers is delighted to announce the docuseries, "Dignity in Rest," which explores the story of South-View Cemetery and the African American experience in Atlanta, Georgia. Produced and directed by Atlanta native Cheryle Renee Moses, "Dignity in Rest" sheds light on the historical significance of South-View and the remarkable individuals interred there. Offering insights from 1886 to present day, the project is currently in pre-production and fundraising stages. “Dignity in Rest” docuseries is set to be completed in early 2025.

South-View Cemetery holds a rich history deeply rooted in the post-Civil War era and the Reconstruction period. Established in 1886 by a group of courageous, formerly enslaved African American businessmen, the cemetery was created as a dignified resting place for their loved ones. The founders, including Jacob McKinley, George W. Graham, Robert Grant, Charles H. Morgan, John Render, and Albert Watts, petitioned the State of Georgia for a charter, which was granted in Atlanta that same year.

Being the oldest African American non-profit corporation in the United States, South-View Cemetery serves as the final resting place for over 80,000 African Americans, including individuals who have made significant contributions to American history, the struggle for freedom, and the pursuit of equity and justice. Among the notable African American figures interred at South-View Cemetery are scholars, business owners, pastors, educators, military heroes, doctors, nurses, musicians, athletes, politicians, and civil rights activists. South-View Cemetery is literally the who’s who of Atlanta’s African Americans.

With its historical significance and the notable individuals interred there, the story of South-View Cemetery provides a profound window into the ongoing African American experience in Atlanta and the country. Moses emphasizes, "Dignity in Rest" is a powerful story that showcases African American resilience, ingenuity, community building, and the pursuit of respect in the face of ongoing adversity. It is a story that must be told."

The filmmaker plans to reside at South-View Cemetery, where members of her extended family are interred, and is working closely with the management on the project. Additionally, 15% of the project's profits will be donated to the South-View Cemetery Foundation.

The Urban Mediamakers production team for “Dignity in Rest” will be hosting the South-View Legacy Reunion: Celebrating Generations for Mother's Day, May 10 and 11, 2024, and for Father's Day, June 15, 2024, at the cemetery. During the reunion, relatives of those resting at South-View Cemetery will have an opportunity to speak with the producers about their loved ones. Refreshments will be provided at each of the events.
