Quality Control Music’s ‘Control the Streets Vol. 2’ Could’ve Used a Little More Quality Control
What’s the point of a label compilation? Ideally, it’s a showcase that communicates depth and shines a light on the lesser-known artists on a roster by placing them on the same stage as the label’s stars. Control the Streets Vol. 2 , the new compilation from Atlanta trap incubator Quality Control Music, features DAYYTONA FOX, YRN Murk, Migo Domingo, and the rest of QC’s dozen-odd prospects, but makes the listener wade to the second half of the 36-song compilation to hear any of them. Vol. 2 ultimately sags under the weight of its excessive length and uninspired performances from Migos and Lil Yachty, the QC lynchpins who carried the weight of the label’s first, much stronger Control the Streets installment in 2017.

Derek Chauvin Is About to Be on Trial for the Murder of George Floyd. Here’s How Jury Selection Will Work
The trial of Derek Chauvin, the former Minneapolis Police officer accused of murdering George Floyd , begins this week, and will kick off in earnest with what’s expected to be a lengthy jury selection process. Per the Minneapolis Star Tribune , jury selection was supposed to start Monday, March 8th, but it was delayed for at least a day so the court could decide whether or not to add a third-degree murder charge, after an appeals court overruled a lower court’s decision to dismiss it. As CNN reports, the jury selection process could take up to three weeks, and it will likely be one of the most contentious and tense aspects of what’s already expected to be a contentious and tense trial.

Twitter’s Jack Dorsey Selling First Tweet as Non-Fungible Token
Twitter founder and billionaire Jack Dorsey is selling his — and the world’s — first tweet as a non-fungible token (or NFT), with the current highest bidder offering $2.5 million for the missive. Dorsey launched the sale Friday, March 5th, tweeting out a link to the platform, Valuables. The site allows people to sell one-of-a-kind digital certificates of specific tweets, which are “autographed” and verified by the original sender. The current highest bidder for Dorsey’s inaugural tweet — which reads simply, “just setting up my twttr” — is Bridge Oracle CEO Sina Estavi. As to why anyone would pay to own a tweet, Valuables states in an FAQ page : “Owning any digital content can be a financial investment, hold sentimental value, and create a relationship between collector and creator. Like an autograph on a baseball card, the NFT itself is the creator’s autograph on the content, making it scarce, unique, and valuable.” Related Stories Square Buys Tidal, Names Jay-Z … [Read more...] about Twitter’s Jack Dorsey Selling First Tweet as Non-Fungible Token
