Last weekend the world was tuned in as Cardi B headlined night two of the biggest hip-hop music festival in the world, Rolling Loud. Amongst the capacity crowd who had to witness the Grammy nominated vixen up close was legendary executive Mona Scott Young. 
 
Cardi, as you may recall, appeared on Young’s “Love & Hip-Hop” during seasons six and seven, then departed to pursue music.
 
“This was always in her right,” Scott-Young said after Cardi’s performance. “She was determined, she was fierce, this is what she wanted. I’m so happy to see her get it and get it big. It’s a proud feeling man.”
 
Mona has a legacy of working with of the best hip-hop artists from Mobb Deep, to Busta Rhymes to Missy Elliott and enjoyed seeing new artists at Rolling Loud.”
 
“The culture has changed tremendously,” she marveled. “What we’re seeing now is  a different wave, but the music is there. The artistry is there. The artists are there. We just have to keep supporting it and keep the culture alive.”
 
Rolling Loud had tons of new artists and current stars such as Lil Skies, Jay Critch, Trippie Red, Reason, Lil Baby, Gunna, Ski Mask The Slump God, Fat Nick and much more.  Meanwhile, “Love & Hip-Hop” is in season nine and features couples Joe Budden and Cyn Santana, Juelz Santana and Kimbella, new parents Papoose and Remy Ma and Safaree and Dreamdoll.

Offset is obviously into doing things unannounced. Last weekend during the “Rolling Loud” music festival, the man XXL Magazine dubbed as Migos’ "Certified Star” on its latest cover, popped up onstage and shocked everyone, especially Cardi B. He brought out flowers and asked his estranged wife to forgive him. While his stunt was talked about in the following days everywhere from Twitter to “WWE Raw,” one facts was lost in the hoopla: 'Set looks like he’ll miss the scheduled drop of his solo album this December. His Migos group members Quavo and Takeoff released projects in October and November respectively, with Offset schedule to take on December. On the night prior his headline-making stage turn, Offset talked a little about why his album hasn’t dropped yet. 
 
“You know, it’s the element of surprise man,” he offered about when to expect his project. “I love y’all just know it’s on the wizzay.”
 
Regardless of whether the release comes out this month, Offset has certainly had a banner year.  The Drake headlined “Aubrey & The Three Migos” outing was a milestone success, grossing a reported $79 million dollars.
 
“Biggest one of the year, no cap,” Offset said about the tour.
 
And of course, The Culture II LP did over a billion a streams within a month of its release and has since been certified double platinum. Surprisingly, though, 'Set, Takeoff and Quavo didn’t garner any Grammy nominations. A glaring omission if you ask most.
 
“They snubbed us for the Grammys,” Offset said. “Salute everybody who did get [nominated], but a lot of the n****s, we had more numbers than them n****s. But I guess they don’t go out to numbers. But you know how it is, we gonna keep going and keep going hard.”
