Lil Yachtys Says “Teenage Emotions” Is Dropping Within The Next Month

According to Lil Yachty, his debut album "Teenage Emotions," is dropping very soon.

To promote his new singles “Peek A Boo” with Migos & "Harley,” Lil Yachty made his way by The Breakfast Club yesterday and chopped it up with the DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne The God for a 30-minute conversation.

During his time there, Yachty addressed the recent incident with his heckler at SXSW, making “It Takes Two” for Target, shots Vic Mensa took at home recently, what his upcoming plans are, & more. But what also caught our attention at the end of the interview was Yachty’s mention of Teenage Emotions release date.

When asked “When the album dropping?” Yachty almost slipped up and revealed he couldn't put it out yet. But when Angela Yee tried to get out of him, she asked “is it soon? like within the next month?” and Yachty quickly replied “yes” with no hesitation. He also added that it wouldn't be a surprise release either, it’s just they’re wanting everything to be perfect. So don't be surprised if the release date surfaces in the next week or so.

Watch Yachty almost slip up & talk about Teenage Emotions release date around the 24:53 mark (below).

Mark Jackson And His Church Once Tried To Heal Steph Curry's Injured Ankle With Oil

http:/ghosthanderblog.spot.com

“Show us you believe in the power of God.”

Long time Golden State Warriors beat reporter Marcus Thompson has released a new book titled, “Golden: The Miraculous Rise of Steph Curry,” in which he describes a bizarre story about former Warriors coach Mark Jackson trying to heal Stephen Curry's surgically repaired ankle back in 2012.
As the story goes, following Steph's ankle surgery, Mark Jackson invited several Warriors players to his congregation, True Love Worship Center International in Van Nuys, California.
After Jackson's sermon, his wife and co-pastor Desiree called Steph to the alter, removed his shoes and socks and anointed his ankle with oil in front of everyone. She then demanded the Warriors star to "show us you believe in the power of God," and Steph responded by awkwardly shimmying and hopping on his right foot.

 “I didn’t know what else to do,” Curry said.

You can read the full excerpt from the book, via Sports Illustrated, below.

A part of the tradition at Jackson’s church was a spirited service including worshippers jogging along the walls of the congregation in praise. Curry, two days removed from his latest sprain, found himself taking laps with Jackson and the other members filled with the spirit. Then after Jackson’s sermon, his wife and co-pastor, Desiree, continued the worship with an impromptu sermon and benediction. She also called Curry to the altar.
They took off his shoes and socks, anointed his ankle with oil and prayed for healing. The parishioners lifted their voices in chants and amens, calling on God to bless one of His Christian ambassadors. Service at Jackson’s church was much more passionate and engaging than Curry was used to back in Charlotte. But he humbly accepted the blessing that was being offered and returned to his seat with a smile on his face.
“Where you going?” Desiree asked the star point guard in front of the congregation. Curry responded with his go-to look of bewilderment, a half smile and widened eyes. He thought he was supposed to return back among the flock when she was done.
“You don’t get a blessing from the Lord and just walk off!” she shouted. “Show us you believe in the power of God.”
It took Curry a second to understand what she meant. Then the old Bible stories rushed to his mind. Like when Jesus healed the lame man at the Pool of Bethesda, that man had to pick up his mat and walk. If he believed he was healed, he needed to show it.
So Curry started shimmying and hopping on his right foot, much to the delight of the congregation.
 “I didn’t know what else to do,” Curry said.

Audio Push - In 2 [New Song]

Audio Push set things off with "In 2," off their "Throwaways" project.

The Inland Empire duo Audio Push, made up of Oktane & Price, just dropped a project called The Throwaways. The five song (well, four plus an intro) collection is essentially made up of b-sides that fell out of album contention. Still, the group made it clear they loved the tracks and felt that they deserved a release. The album kicks off with "In 2," a synth-driven celebration of decadence, painting pictures of drinking, debauchery, and bathroom quickies. Both rappers ride the beat seamlessly, and Price steals the show with laid back charisma and a shout out to the dopest condiment in the game.
Quotable Lyrics
Really from the hood, Arizona's with the Takis
Really from the hood, eat everything with sriracha
Took her to the bathroom, try to get the sloppy
Damn, she wasn't havin' ithttps://soundcloud.com/audiopush/in-2-prod-by-pric
Psych, it went just how I imagined it
DJ dropped the pack when I started stabbin' it
