It may be hard to believe, but it’s nearly been a full year since Netflix’s Rhythm + Flow debuted. Led by Chance The Rapper, T.I. and Cardi B, the show spurred the success of D Smoke, Troyman, Caleb Colossus and many others. One of the names that may not have received the shine it should have is Baddnews.
Baddnews is one of the lost gems from Rhythm + Flow. Despite earning a ticket to the second round, he was unable to travel to Los Angeles because of a contract issue. In spite of that issue, he has continued to move forward by releasing new music.
Over the last few months, the rising star has released videos for “Nothing To Lose and “All By Myself.” Unfortunately, things got a little bit more difficult when he ran into legal troubles. Facing a $2 million bond, Baddnews beat the odds and has returned to doing what he does best, rap.
This week, the Syracuse native is here to deliver the “DTW” video. Directed by Trigg, the video takes us back to his hometown. Throughout the record, he addresses many of the issues his team is facing including the COVID-19 pandemic, police brutality and much more.
