Stove God Cooks drops a new song with Swizz Beatz and enters a new era with a Warner Records partnership.
On Nov. 6, the bubbling Syracuse, N.Y., rapper dropped the new song "Stovie's Home (Down Down)" with Swizz Beatz. The song serves as the latest single from Stove's long-awaited sophomore album, All This for Me? The track arrived along with the announcement that Stove entered into a new partnership with Warner Records following drama with his label, Babygrande Records, that put the project in limbo.
"This new season isn’t luck. It’s confirmation," Stove said. "I’m excited about this next chapter and what we’re building with Warner Records, but even more excited to give my fans the music and the moment they’ve patiently waited for.”
All This for Me? will be released via Warner Records/Babygrand Records and is executive produced by Swizz Beatz.
A few weeks after their latest breakup, Blueface has covered up his large Chrisean shoulder tattoo with a photo of the White House.
Blue broke the news to fans on livestream over the weekend, telling the chat: “Never again will I tattoo any female’s name on me. We tried that, [it] didn’t work. We’ll never try it again.” He later showed off the new presidential-themed tattoo, which he claims was extremely painful.
After Chrisean recently got her Blueface face tattoo updated with more detail, she appears to be in the process of covering it up, too. Over the weekend, she talked to her tattoo artist on livestream and told him she wanted to “black out” her face portrait of the rapper.

“Yo, Squirrelmask The Nut God, that sh*t you made f**king sucked. I’m so sorry.” Wifi added that he didn’t think the beef was worth going to the studio for, so he decided to record his response on BandLab instead.
The two have been exchanging words since Ski criticized Wifi for going on a date with Jenesis Sanchez, the mother of XXXTentacion’s son.
YNW Melly’s murder retrial takes an unexpected turn with Casey Anthony’s involvement.
The South Florida rapper’s second trial for double murder is less than two months away. On Nov. 6, TMZ reported that Casey Anthony, who was infamously acquitted of murdering her 2-year-old daughter in 2011, has been assisting with the defense. According to the celebrity news site, Anthony has been working as a research assistant for a private investigator named Pat McKenna, who has been hired by Melly’s legal team. Anthony is reportedly helping attorneys analyze the case.
In 2008, Anthony made national headlines after being arrested for her daughter Caylee’s murder in Florida. However, despite mounds of circumstantial evidence, Anthony was found not guilty of murder at trial three years later.
YNW Melly is accused of shooting and killing two of his childhood friends following a late-night studio session in 2018. His first trial in 2023 ended in a mistrial. The case will go before a jury again in January.
XXL has reached out to YNW Melly’s attorney for comment.
