(Video) Yung Esckimo – “Blue Magic” @YUNGESCKIMO

New York City rapper Yung Esckimo has returned with his new single “Blue Magic,” the title track for his forthcoming EP ‘Blue Magic,’ which is set to arrive this fall via SCAM Inc. The track follows the project’s lead single “The Code.”

“Blue Magic” is available everywhere now. Watch the video for the lead single, “The Code” here.

With “Blue Magic,” Esckimo shares his successes, failures, and some advice. “I can never fail / And that shit is in my DNA, I can never tell / Make sure that you keep that money separate, keep it somewhere else / Make sure that you stash it right in case you gotta pay the bail,” he raps.

Esckimo’s new track follows the music video for his Maybach & Millions project cut, “Show You.” His debut project, Mayback & Millions arrived last November on SCAM Inc., and featured standout records like “Never Broke Again,” “Myself,” “Big Steppa,” and “Dollah Fo’ Dollah Challenge (Remix)” with Yo Gotti.

Through SCAM Inc. and his upcoming EP, Blue Magic, Esckimo is cementing his place as an emerging rapper, music executive, and leader in New York City. “I’m looking forward to building a platform,” he says. “Become an independent group that helps up-and-coming artists—that gives them the game and puts them in the position to win.”

YNW MELLY Is Accused of Tampering with a Witness in a Double Murder Case

Only days before the start of his retrial, YNW Melly has been charged with witness tampering in his double murder case.

According to an affidavit that XXL was able to get on Wednesday (October 4), Melly (real name Jamell Demons) was subject to the extra charge.

He has also been charged with witness tampering along with his purported co-conspirator in the case, YNW Bortlen (real name Cortlen Malik Henry).

The two are accused of speaking with Melly’s ex-girlfriend Mariah Hamilton and her mother Felicia Holmes over the phone using an inmate called Terrence Mathis in an effort to persuade them not to testify in the case.

The affidavit showed that between March and August 2023, Bortlen and Mathis made 60 distinct phone calls, using varied coded language to conceal their intents.

Melly’s phone rights have been limited for much of 2023, according to Law&Crime Network’s Bryson Paul, who also noted that the rapper is currently under 23/1 lockdown at the Broward County Prison.

Mariah Hamilton said last month that police had threatened to imprison her if she didn’t help them prosecute her ex-boyfriend.

Charges against YNW Bortlen for witness tampering were initially made public on Monday (October 2) during a Miami, Florida, house raid. After that, he was detained in Miami-Dade County.

The date of Bortlen’s court appearance has now been changed to January 12, 2024 because his trial was originally set to start on the day he was taken into custody by the police. Since August 2021, he has been free on bail with a monitor due to his suspected involvement in the 2018 homicides.

Melly’s retrial is set to start on October 9 after the jury was unable to agree on a decision during the original trial in July.

The 24-year-old is charged with shooting and killing his buddies YNW Sakchaser (real name Anthony Williams) and YNW Juvy (actual name Christopher Thomas Jr.) in October 2018 and then fabricating the scene to make it appear as though a drive-by shooting.

Despite three days of deliberation, Judge John Murphy III declared on July 22 that the case had resulted in a mistrial. He remarked of the ambiguous conclusion, “These sorts of judgments, they’re hard ones.

Since Melly’s arrest in February 2019, the first-degree murder charges have taken four and a half years to go through the judicial system.

DUE TO ALLEGED RIGHTS VIOLATIONS, SUGE KNIGHT REQUESTS PRISON RELEASE

Suge Knight has argued that because his civil rights were allegedly violated, he should be granted an early release from jail.

In an interview with AllHipHop, the former head of Death Row Records said that a judge had prevented him from representing himself in his 2018 voluntary manslaughter case.

Suge said he was effectively compelled to accept an inferior plea agreement for the fatal 2015 hit-and-run that wounded actor/director Cle Sloan and murdered Terry Carter because he had three strikes mistakenly recorded against him.

Knight received a final prison term of 28 years.

“So an unfixable error, the only thing you got to do is you got to make a deal and let me go home or show I was right or you let me take my plea back and start all over,” he said. “But it’d be harder to start all over because you did all this with my case.

“This [is] my bed. If they allowed me to go to trial, I would have won my case. I would have beat my case. But they didn’t. Okay, I understand that, right? My crime carries two, six, 11 [years], if I was guilty.

“They gave me — naturally, they going to give me the high term, right? So my past, who I am, definitely is going to make sure I get some time. And I’m fine with that. But you don’t have the right to double me up.”

“You don’t have the right to give me time and a half. You don’t have the right to not let me have a lawyer. So, I wasn’t pushing the envelope as hard at first because I know I got to do some time. But I’ve been gone for nine years, so I did my time already.”

The former record executive is presently imprisoned in San Diego, California at the Richard J. Donovan Correctional Center. He just informed TMZ over the phone that he will not be giving a witness statement in the 2Pac murder trial against Duane “Keefe D” Davis.

“Well, surprise, number one,” In response to Keefe D’s recent arrest, Suge commented. “Because I don’t think Keefe D would ever get arrested, nor do I want to see him get arrested.

“Let’s get one thing straight, first and foremost: me and Keefe D played on the same Pop Warner football team. And whatever circumstances — if he had an involvement with anything, if he didn’t have an involvement with anything, I wouldn’t wish somebody going to prison on my worst enemy.”

In addition, Knight asserted that, in contrast to common opinion, Keefe D’s nephew Orlando Anderson was not the shooter.

“There were only two people in the car; ‘Pac’s not gonna tell the story, I ain’t gonna tell the story,” said Suge, who was sat next to 2Pac and also wounded during the fatal 1996 drive-by shooting.

“But I can tell you this: I never had nothing bad to say about Orlando because […] he wasn’t the shooter [..] It wasn’t Anderson, so that’s all I got to say about that part.”
