It’s finally time for Trina!

The rapper’s sixth album ‘The One’ landed in stores this week – years after it was initially touted to arrive. Per the femcee, a variety of hurdles including sample clearances held up the release process.

Billed as the album of the summer, the project sees the Queen of Miami joined by a lengthy list of notable names – including Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Sevyn Streeter, Dave East, Rico Love and K. Michelle.

Hey 80’s and early 90’s babies…it’s official: we’re old.

No further proof of our transition to our golden years is needed than a recent video of the 2019 NBA draft picks (all born in the late 90’s, early 2000’s) playing a cute game of ‘Name the 90’s’ that required they name people or events from the decade.

Newbie NBA ballers Coby White (19), Rui Hachimura (21), and Jarrett Culver (20), and more failed at multiple junctures to name staples in popular music and entertainment from the era.  The result?  Twitter gave the group their first real taste of fame with a hilarious roast for their shortcomings.
