Real Rap – The Pen Hustle With Brandy Cavalli

Racist Alert: The World Wide Web Edition

Hey hustlers!

Given the current global and domestic racial climate, we must expose racists and hold them publicly accountable.

Online hate speech and racism must be met with absolute zero tolerance and immediate public exposure.

With that being said, email screenshots & social media links to brandy@thepenhustler.com or fill out the contact form below and we will reach out to get your story.

Anonymity is an option, but the objective remains absolute: the uncompromised exposure of racists across their professional and social networks.

Bay Area Producer of the Legendary Hit “I Got 5 On It” Passes Away at Age 59

Tone Capone, the legendary Bay Area producer —best known for crafting the smash 1995 Luniz hit “I Got 5 On It”—died on September 12, 2026, at the age of 59.

Now, if you’re an ’80s baby like me, then this song hit you right in the middle of your teenage years. I didn’t even smoke weed, but somehow this song had me feeling like I needed to go grab a sack!

That beat was LEGENDARY—knocking through the trunk of every D-boy on the block, windows down, bass rattling.

Rapper Lil Durk Has Deep Gang Ties; Dad Big Durk Connected to Larry Hoover

Rapper Lil Durk is the stage name of Derrick ‘Durk’ Banks, a Chicago native from the Englewood area.

His melodic rap style and songs about his life, relationships, street experiences, and losses is how he became prominent through Chicago’s drill scene before developing into a major mainstream hip-hop artist.

Although Lil Durk has also had major legal issues, including a current federal case, his legal situation is separate from his father’s history.

His father, Devontay ‘Big Durk’ Banks, was involved in Chicago’s drug trade in the early 1990s and was eventually sentenced to life in federal prison. He knew and was mentored by Larry Hoover.
