You might want to leave earlier than usual if you’re going to Detroit Metro Airport. A construction project that will supposedly last 3-years starts on Monday.

Airport Construction May Delay Travel Plans

Well, if you have any travel plans that involve Detroit Metro Airport starting on Monday, you need to plan to give yourself extra time. There’s going to be lane closures and delays on Eagle Drive that’s going to impact traffic and might cause some delays. The project is going to be year round and will take place over 3-years. I mean, I know that around I-275 and stuff there’s been construction forever until it recently reopened, but it just feels like there’s always construction going on in that area. They’re going to rehab the road tunnels, improve road surfaces, lighting, and then storm water retention. You remember last year when it flooded and all those people were like walking on the side of the road to the airport, trying to get there and missing flights and all that. Well, hopefully this will correct it. They say access to the parking decks, lots, and the Westin hotel will not be impacted. So, that’s good. I don’t know why I’m getting all worked up about this. It’s not like I go anywhere. But you may, so give yourself some extra time.

Nelly and Jermaine Dupri will be back together again. He’s one of the featured artists on Jermaine’s new album.

Jermaine Dupri Plays Song Snippet Featuring Early-2000s Stars

Jermaine Dupri is putting out a new album this year and he’s taking us back to the early 2000s. The album will feature Nelly, Ashanti, and Juicy J. I am personally looking forward to this album because I do like Jermaine Dupri as a producer, so we’ll have to see. And this is actually going to be Ashanti and Nelly’s first time reuniting on an album since 2008’s “Body on Me”, so I’m looking forward to that. How about you?

Ja Rule has 100-million reasons to smile. The rapper claims that’s how much his new record deal is worth.

Ja Rule Reveals Record Deal Worth $100-Milli

Yesterday, me and Mean Jean were telling you that Ja Rule is supposed to be making new music and we were kind of like dogging him. Well, we weren’t the only ones, so Ja took to social media yesterday to set the record straight about a $100-million deal. Apparently he still owns his catalog so he can ask for that kind of money. Are you looking forward to his album? Do you think he’s worth a hundred million? I guess we’ll have to see, right?

Hip-Hop and R&B Artists That Might Drop Music In 2024

2023 gave us albums from Drake, Nicki Minaj, Lil Uzi Vert, Young Thug, and more. However, there are a couple of artists who we want to see full-length projects from that haven’t had a new release in a while.

J. Cole Teases The Fall Off

J. Cole has had the best run of features in hip-hop this year by far. While he has been keeping his friends satisfied with his guest appearances, we would be doing a disservice to Cole fans if we said that they didn’t want a project from him. In 2023, he has been on songs with Drake, Nicki Minaj, Summer Walker, Burna Boy, and more.

“I’m thinkin’ about ya, I heard you just had you another lil baby/ Congratulations, I hope you got through it with no complications/ I find it amazing, the way that you juggle your kids, the biz, the fame, the bitches that’s hatin’/ They sit around waiting for you to fall off like the album I’m making,” he raps on “To Summer From Cole.”

Cole’s manager Ibrahim Hamad hinted at The Fall Off back in February. When Dreamville’s official account asked what album would fans like to see the North Carolina rapper perform in its entirety, Hamad answered The Fall Off.

The Fall Off was originally

— Hot Freestyle (@HotFreestyle) December 30, 2020?" target="_blank" rel="noopener">announced in 2018 on social media and is expected to be J. Cole’s last studio album before he drops the mic for good. Before The Fall Off is to be released, Cole has a lineup of projects that will eventually lead to the last album. He’s dubbed these projects “The Fall Off Era.” In that list of projects, he has already completed and released The Off-Season, which dropped in 2021. That same year, he spoke to Slam Magazine about how he came up with The Fall Off concept and retiring from rap.

“I’m never going to say, ‘Oh, this is my last album,'” Cole said at the time. “Because I never know how I’m going to feel two years, three years, four years down the line, ten years down the line, but please believe, I’m doing all this work for a reason.”

Take a look at some artists that might drop a new project in 2024:
